Memorandum by Miss Laura Iredale of the Division of American Republics Analysis and Liaison, for Mr. Henry Dearborn, Division of North and West Coast Affairs

In answer to your request for figures on lend-lease materials to Ecuador, I have obtained the following figures from Mr. Willett in FEA.

The information which he has given me covers total lend-lease exports to Ecuador from March 1941 through July, 1944. The types of exports are divided into the following categories:

Ordnance $493,360
Aircraft 1,308,191
Tanks and other vehicles 1,219,989
Water craft 44,000
Agriculture 1,105,000
Industry 1,285,307

The total figure for lend-lease exports to Ecuador from March, 1941 through July, 1944 is $4,351,952.

I think it will interest you to know that Mr. Willett has offered to prepare a table of lend-lease exports to the other American Republics divided into the categories listed above. He has promised to send them [Page 1051] to my office on a monthly basis, consequently, current figures on lend-lease should be available in RL files from now on.
