Fullest U.S. Aid For Russia Assured
(Rec. 3 p.m.) WASHINGTON. Dec. 3. The President’s secretary (Mr. Stephen Early), commenting on criticisms that American aid to Russia is lagging, said Mr. Roosevelt was determined to continue the fullest possible aid to Russia.
The Maritime Commission was making special arrangements for the mosl speedy transport of supplies. The chief correspondent of the “New York Times" in Washington (Mr. Arthur Crock), says-American deliveries of war materials to Russia have fallen far short of what was promised for October and November. This, he says, has caused uneasiness in Moscow, and in the Russian purchasing mission 1 in Washington, as well as anxiety among military experts. The correspondent says contributing causes include shortage of shipping and labour disputes and also the problem of persuading the British as well as the United States army and navy to yield enough to make it possible even to approximate the promise made to Russia.
However, by January deliveries are expected to be nearer par, although not making up earlier deficits, and the cause of the trouble will have to be removed before it can seriously affect the spirit or strength of the Russian resistance.
