U. S. War Materials Now Reach Reds in Substantial Amounts Arms Being Delivered Now Were Sent Before Pacific War Began By A. T. STEELE, Poreign Correspondent of The Star and Chicago Daily News. MOSCOW, Jan. 27.— American war materials promised to Russia during the three-power conference here are at last beginning to arrive fn the Soviet Union in quantities that count. Deliveries were slow in starting, but have reached sizable volume in the past couple of weeks. However, most of the stuff now being delivered was shipped from the | United States prior to the beginning | of the Pacific war. It is naturally expected that the Pacific conflict will temporarily affect the flow of American muni- tions to this country, especially in certain categories required for the American war effort. Nevertheless, the Russians have been given to understand that despite modified delivery schedules, the United States has no intention of reducing the total amounts pledged to Russia over the long run. If anything, the quantities will be augmented when American production and shipping capacity ultimately makes that feasible, it is understood. So far American and British ma- terial volume seriously to influence the course of the war in Russia. But it is & growing factor and by spring or summer should be making itself felt in an important way. U. 8. Gives Moral Ammunition. The United States is providing moral as well as material ammuni- tion for the Russians against Hit- ler. Unabridged German transla- tions of President Roosevelt’s speech to Congress have been dropped by thousands over the German lines by Russian airplanes. The President’s forecasts of the American airplane, tank and gun output during the | coming two years appear in extra black type in these booklets, copies of which I have seen. Another kind of leaflet, which the Russians have showered over Ger- man positions, teils of the 26-power Washington agreement and points out the futility of continued Nazi resistance against the opposition of the whole democratic world. Most of this air-borne propa- ganda, of which there is an infinite variety, bears the following post- script in German: “German soldier: When you sur- render, say the words “Long live Moscow, down with Hitler!” The Russian command guaranteeds you your life, warm quarters, good food and the possibility of exchanging letters with your family.” Greater Red Objectives. ‘The Russian victories of the past are but stepping stones to much big- | ger objectives: | 1. The rolling back of Hitler's| central army to and beyond Smo- | lensk 2. The lifting of the siege on| Leningrad. There is plenty of deadly work | ahead if these goals are to be at- tained for obviously Hitler's “plan- ned retreat” does not envisage | either of these sacrifices.

Louis Flood, 12, colored, average Moscow or Leningrad, It was really big news—bigger from a strategic standpoint than the fall of Mozhaisk—that the Red Army had succeeded in hammering a wedge 60 miles deep into German defenses almost midway between the Moscow and Leningrad fronts. Russian efforts to widen these gains to the northwest and south- west now are to be expected with the aim of turning the flanks of the Nazi armies which still lie within threatening proximity of Russia’s two greatest cities. Smolensk Not in Bag. In both directions strongly garri- soned towns ard villages bar the way. Smolensk is not yet in the bag by any means, but, with the tip of the Russian wedge now at a point 75 miles due north of the city, at a distance of 200 miles westward from Moscow, the danger to Smo- lensk certainly is much greater than it was a week ago. From the southeast, at an equal distance, another Russian pincer is | pressing hard toward Hitler's Smo- lensk base, though at slower pace. Vyazma, strategically important city of 50,000 midway between Smloensk and Moscow, must now be counted to be in real jeopardy from the Boviet nutcracker, for its rear is ex- posed by the latest Russian gains. The Germans continue to be forced back toward Tjatck and Vyazma, from Mozhaisk. It looked for awhile as if the Nazis intended to make a serious stand on the heights of the historic battlefield of Borodino, 6 miles west of Moz- haisk, but they were out-flanked | and resumed their retreat after burning Borodino village and wreck- ing the Borodino museum contain- ing relics of the Napoleonic war, according to Russian claims. With the temperature consistently close to 40 below zero for nearly a week now, the Germans are facing severer climatic conditions than those which hurried the retreat of the Corsican conqueror.
