ARMY'S HANDBOOK T0 AID ROOKIES

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31 (U.P). —Two million copies of a new “Soldier's Handbook” to show the rookie how to get along in the Army are ready for distribution. They will be given free to all officers and regular Army men beginning: tomorrow. The public can get copies from the Government Printing Office at 35 cents each. The handbook covers virtually all phases of military life—the articles of war, how to make a will and how to protect yourself from air and tank attacks. Not the least interesting chapter deals with “common military expressions used in the American Army and what they mean.”

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—Backdoor aid to |Germany, via Soviet Russia, seems about to be halted by : the Administrati o n following conferences with Viscount Halifax, the new British i Ambassador. Thus the recent lifting of t h e “moral embargo” against the Soviets will likely be nullified, at least in effect, before Russia can : } receive any maMr. Simms terial therefrom. The lifting of the embargo has been widely criticized as

on a par with appeasement of Nazi Germany. In one of his first statements here, Lord Halifax said he planned to take up the question of exports to Russia. He said Britain believed that these goods were replacing Soviet shipments to Gerinany. In 1940 Russia imported nearly $100,000,000 worth of godos from the United. States, despite the moral embargo. Among her purchases were oil, cotton (a principal ingredient of high explosives), copper, machine tools and other highly important items.

Thanks to the recent removal of

the embargo, she is now in a position even to purchese warplanes —if she can find any not otherwise earmarked. Presumakly, subject to the export control, she can buy anything she wants.

The State Department is now trying to check up on the extent to which American exports are reaching Germany, via Siberia. But it is a well-nigh impossible job. We have no qualified observers in Russia, and in Germany such matters are regarded as military secrets of the first order. Lord Halifax, it is understood, does not contend that the actual barrel of American oil, for example, is delivered in Berlin after being sold to the Soviets. But a barrel of oil delivered in Vladivostok permits Russia to release to Germany a barrel of its own oil produced in the Black Sea area. The same may be said of cotton and other items. Among other things, Russia is now seeking to make large purchases in this country of drills and other oil-well equipment. She is

known to be siriving feverishly to increase her output as fast as possible despite the fact that she already produces more than she needs and is on an export basis. Germany, it is remarked, is now practically her only large customer, Under their new trade agreement, Russia is reported to be committed to the delivery of at least 1,000,000 tons of crude to Germany this year. Because she is trying to increase her own reserve supply, Russia is said to be finding it difficult to deliver as promised. At the same time, the Nazis are becoming insistent and are even bringing pressure to boost the amount five or six fold. And Russia needs German tools and other equipment to carry out the rearmament of her own fighting forces.

Russia, therefore, is extremely

anxious to speed up production, not only in existing oil fields, but by bringing in new wells in new territory. Russian experts claim for the Soviet Union some 65 per cent of the

world’s known supply of petroleum.

In 1932 she produced 20,000,000 tons, of which she was able to export 6,000,000. Six years later she was producing 50 per cent more, and this year’s output is expected to be somewhere around 40,000,000 tons. : Meanwhile her own needs have increased enormously, though not in’ keeping with production. Hence she should be in a position to provide Germany with considerable supplies—particularly if she can replenish her own Far Eastern stocks by purchases in the United

States.
