WARNING IGNORED
AMERICA DETERMINED MATERIALS FOR RUSSIA LONDON, Aug. 13. “Implications of the new agreement between Russia and America may be darkly apparent at any moment, but particularly in the Far East,” says the Washington correspondent of The Times. America is flatly ignoring Japan’s warning that war materials for Russia must not go through Vladivostok. Any Japanese attempt to interfere with this flow of supplies will be met, even although areas adjacent to the port where it will be landed are already -warming with Japanese troops. “If the Japanese still think that America 's bluffing,” says the correspondent, “they must be hard to disillusion.” Several hundred Canadiap-buill Hurricane fighters are being acquired by the United States for shipment tc China, the East Indies, and possibly tc Russia. One source mentions 501 as well as guns and other .var material. The first shipment of American machinery, now on the way, is expected to be installed east of the Urals, '.o strengthen the war base there in the event of the Russians ever having to retreat from Moscow.
