sounds more like a stalin quote, something similar where the west will sell them everything they need as capitalists to even appear on the scene to sell the rope that they will hang us by.
I’d look or fiddle around with this as a Stalin quote
versus a Lend/Lease Churchill quote.
Churchill said something like “give us the tools and we will finish the job”. Now that I think about it, that was probably an American World War II poster so maybe Churchill never said anything like that.

Don’t know this one, but here is a Churchill quote that 0.00, the Dhimmis and RINOs could stand to read and contemplate on:
“Some people regard private enterprise as a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look on it as a cow they can milk. Not enough people see it as a healthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon.”
Winston Churchill
Here is your quote:
“We shall go on paying dollars for as long as we can, but I should like to feel reasonably sure that when we can pay no more, you will give us the stuff all the same.” — Winston Churchill, May 15, 1940 letter to President Roosevelt (pp. 24-25, “Their Finest Hour).
If I am not mistaken, the quote you are looking was spoken about the development of the Lend-Lease initiative. Not sure where it can be located.
There were some reminiscences in his History of the English Speaking Peoples about his conversations with Roosevelt on the subject of Britain’s ability to pay. I don’t remember that quote or sentiment though.
Is what you are looking for inside of this?
“Moreover I do not believe the Government of the United States would find it in accordance with the principles which guide them, to confine the help which they have so generously promised to only such munitions of war and commodities as could be immediately paid for. You may be assured that we shall prove ourselves ready to suffer and sacrifice to the utmost for the Cause, and that we glory in being its champion. The rest we leave with confidence to you and to your people, being sure that ways and means will be found which future generations on both sides of the Atlantic will approve and admire.
If, as I believe, you are convinced, Mr. President, that the defeat of the Nazi and Fascist tyranny is a matter of high consequence to the people of the United States and to the Western Hemisphere, you will regard this letter not as an appeal for aid, but as a statement of the minimum action necessary to the achievement of our common purpose.”
