Washington, June 6.
Attorney-General Robert H. Jackson ruled today that the transfer to Britain and France of American World War rifles, field guns and ammunition would not violate international law.
The proposed transfer of World War armaments to the Allies was understood to include the shipment of 600,000 rifles, 25,000 field pieces and large quantities of ammunition to Britain. Arrangements for the trans-for were understood to have already been completed in principle and shipment of the first consignment will be made soon.—United Press.
