indicating that American warships
would convoy British and other
cargo ships most of - the way
across the Atlantic, was made at
the American Legion conventon
in Milwaukee in these words:
"Beginning Tuesday, the
American navy will provide pro
tection as adequate as we can
make It for ships el every flag
carrying lend-lease supplies be
tween the American continent
and the waters adjacent to Ice,
land : :
These ships are ordered to
capture , or destroy ; by every
means at " their disposal axis
controlled submarines or surface
raiders encountered in these
waters.
That is our answer to Mr.
Hitler's declaration that he will
try to sink every ship bis vessels,
encounter on the routes leading
from the United States to Brit
ish ports."
The extent of the neutrality act
revisions being considered by the
president and the congressional
leaders was not disclosed and
Speaker Rayburn said that jio
conclusions had yet been reached.
Revision of the law would be
necessary, however, if the admin
istratlon contemplates arming
American merchant vessels. There
also was some speculation that
peal might be sought of the ban
on the entry of American ships
into combat zones.
The president's lend-lease re
port showed $190,447,6,70 of lend
lease cargoes actually exported
from the time the law was passed
last March up to August 81 bu
added that along with these ship
ments went additional supplies
under contracts placed by Britain
and other countries from their
own resources.
The true measure of the
volume of war supplies moving
from our shores," Mr. Roose
velt said, "Is reflected in ear
total exports. Thus, since be
ginning of the war, about $4,
400,000,000 worth of goods have
been exported to the British
empire.
Of the original $7,000,000,000
lend-lease appropriation, $3,555,
587,895 has been obligated that
is contracts let and $6,281,237,-
421 allocated for specific pun
poses.
Thus, the report said, "nine
ty per cent of the appropriation
' has been allocated on the basis
of specific requisitions and has
passed from the stage of plan
ning Into active procurement
operations. Within six weeks no
funds should remain to meet
requests which already total
much In excess of unallocated
balances.'

nazl drivel which would meet no
single natural obstacle of conse
quence.'' -. '
That the Russians were alive to
this situation was suggested in
this morning's communique,
which reported heavy red air
raids on axis Black sea and Dan
ube ports Constanta, Sulina and
GalatL .. '
At Odessa, on the Black , sea.
the soviet command declared that
red troops supported by men of
the Black sea fleet still were hold
ing the city against German and
Rumanian assaults and that one
Rumanian regiment had been an
nihilated.
Turning to action In the north,
the morning communique re
ported that German attempta
to capture the soviet Island of
Oesel in the Baltic had been re
pulsed, with four nasi trans
ports and a destroyer sunk and
the German landing foree de
stroyed. It was added that another nazl
troop ship and an escorting ship
were sunk off Petsamo, Finland.
Military informants in Berlin
began to speak of a situation ri
pening" for great successes in the
south, and said that red artillery
emplacements and troops were
under running aerial attacks In
the, Donets valley, which lies be
tween the basins of the Dnieper
and the Don.
The Russians already have
lost vast productive areas a
fact which allied spokesmen,
particularly in London, have in
recent days made no effort o
hide and this new threat to
soviet Industrial arsenals devel
oped while urgent American
British conferences went on In
London to develop a plan to
hurry more aid to Russia.
W. Averell Harriman, chairman
of the American mission to Mos
cow, began conversations in Lon
don within an hour of his arrival
by bomber plane to learn how
many US guns, tanks and planes
could be spared immediately by
the British. Having completed the
survey, he and his associates will
go on at once to Moscow.
Following up by one day the
announcement that an entire
British aerial wing already was
in Russia and perhaps already in
battle, Lord' Beaverbrook, the
British minister of supply, dis
closed that every tank turned out
by British factories next week
would go at once to the eastern
front
While the war in the east gen
erally thus became more and
more a. war of supply, the reddest
and most terrible area of fighting
remained about Leningrad.
The Germans, acknowledg
ing repeated Russian counter
attacks but claiming to have
broken them all, admitted, that
they were having to fight des
perately for every yard ad
vanced and reported that the
Inner ring of Leningrad's de
fenses was proving one of the
most difficult ever met by an
Invading army.
While estimating that 4,500,000
persons were trapped in an area
of 1900 square miles' in the Len
ingrad region, Berlin acknowledg
ed that Russian troops still were
strongly entrenched in a 75-mile
defense zone between the city and
the Luga river and described the
whole terrain as a nightmare of
steel and concrete bunkers with
six-foot-thick walls of steel and
concrete and revolving gun tur
rets, deep tank traps and hun
dreds of trenches and wire traps
strung in the surrounding forests?
The heaviest of German cannon
was pounding at the soviet block
houses and bunkers at least 200
of which were claimed to have
been destroyed and this action
was followed by tank and Infan
try charges In which German
losses plainly and unavoidably
were enormous.
Berlin spokesmen again
claimed, that the nasi armies
were able If necessary to take
the city house by house If, as
they put It, the Russians Insist
ed on defending It that way
but showed a reluctance for
that kind of operation by con
ceding that it would be "ex-,
tremely bloody."
House to house fighting for
Odessa, the second major be
sieged Russian city, already was
in progress, Berlin said,' with Ger
man flame-throwers and experts
in bunker-storming leading, the
assault
