This is the secret of Hitler's amaz- | ing transportation feat, by which/ four million men have been supplied | with an average of four tons of sup- plies per man—shells, artillery, food, clothing, tanks, gasoline—all hauled | over 1,000 miles to a battlefront 3,000 miles wide. Yet only in the past few days is an American railroad mission being sent to the Gulf of Persia. There are two other routes to get supplies into Russia. One, by way of Vladivostok, means a two-week rail haul over the Trans-Siberian To strengthen this road, the Unit- ed States will send 300 locomotives However, we haven’t yet found the ships to carry them, since locomo- tives are too big to be lowered down the average ship’s hatch. But even more important, we have to revamp the locomotives, perhaps even manu- facture them altogether, for our locomotives don't fit the wide Ru.s— sian gauge. Meanwhile, most U. S, suppies are going via Archangel, which has turned out to be better than expect- ed, hut the Nazis are pretty sure to begin bombing it i FDR SP! S SUPPLIES While the British bave been inex- cusahly slow in regard to transport, both Britain and the United States have been equally slow in allodating supplies to be shipped. For weeks after Churchill and Roosevelt de- cided to send a mission to'Moscow, the two governments- backed ‘and filled as to who should be in'the delegation and whether China should be invited. Meanwhile pre- carious weeks, vital to Russia’s chances, were lost And only this past week did large scale supplies really get loaded up in U. 8. p for Russia. Prior to that the army had hemmed hawed, done little. It was only a week of Russian retreating tow Moscow, that Roosevelt shook th big stick and the army came acro.
