I would like to believe that the question is looking for dirt. It is typical for a newly elected government to ask the previous government:"What you've spent the money on?!" Already rumours have started that money dissapeared,not everything spent on war.

agree Jack Doughty : If that was Eisenhower's opinion, why didn't he cancel Our Lend-Lease debts to the USA incurred during WWII?

Yes, Jack, I am quite sympathetic with UK on that case; just recently I have read an article on that topic and it ws said there that Britain was in quite a difficult situation due to those debts and is STILL paying them off.
