Shane raised an intriguing point. But the August, 1941, Roosevelt-Churchill cable to Stalin only offered the suggestion of supplying the Soviets, to begin after a meeting between the three powers to work out the modalities. So it's quite possible the provision of material followed the entry of the US into the war four months later, in which case it wouldn't have violated the Neutrality Act. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
