When Ed Stettinius left the stand, his trim dark suit was unwrinkled, his sober maroon tie unrumpled, his white handkerchief still in place in his breast pocket. A new Gallup poll showed 82% of U.S. citizens in favor of Lend-Lease, only 9% opposed. Renewal by Congress appeared to be a mere formality.

Dr. Gallup blamed it on the low turnout of voters: he had counted on 30,000,000, but only 26,000,000 went to the polls, All signs had pointed to apathy...
