Explanation:

The Lend - Lease Act was a policy to aid Allied nations. The "Cash - Carry" policy required payment upfront. When Britain couldn't afford under "Cash - Carry" anymore, the Lend - Lease Act allowed the US to provide weapons (lend or lease) without immediate full payment. It was about providing military supplies, not lending soldiers (as that would be direct military involvement which was more limited initially). And it was to aid, not stop aiding.

Answer:

to make sure Britain could still get weapons when they ran out of money for "Cash Carry"
