Demonstration against the Lend-lease law in Congress in Wash

Women demonstrate in front of the Capitol against the Lend-lease law and also for an isolationist policy in the USA, that means for a policy of non-intervention. They belong to the organization American Mothers Crusade Against the Lend-lease Bill'. The women request that the law be rejected in Congress. The Lend-lease system comprised the measures taken by the United States in World War II to supply the Allies with important military and civilian goods without payment. The so-called Lend-lease bill was passed simultaneously in the Senate and the House of Representatives on January 10, 1938. The draft of the bill had the symbolic number of 1776. On March 11, 1941 the Lend-lease Act was adopted. Until 1946 trade credits amounting to about 50 billion U.S. dollars were made, of which more than half went to Great Britain and about 11 billion U.S. dollars went to the Soviet Union
