DREW PEARSON WRITES:
Policy to Appease Russ
Helps Explain Hot Exposes
By DREW PEARSON
One of the things you have
shipment of supplies to Russia
is the then official policy to keep Russia appeased.
The late Wendell Willkie, returning from Russia in 1942, told
this columnist in graphic detail
banquet at the Kremlin where
various toasts were proposed to
allied solidarity and where the
atmosphere seemed completely
friendly, when, suddenly, &tann
rose to his feet.
Willkie said that he almost
fell off his chair when Stalm
began shaking his finger at the
British ambassador and scolding
him. '
Relations between the United
States and Russia were excellent,
Stalin said, but he wanted Will
kie to go back and make sure
that no more supplies were sent
to Russia by way of England.
Because, he added, the last time
an American ship stopped in
England, America fighter planes
promised to Russia had been
taken off by the British and used
for themselves.
Willkie said that the British
ambassador sat stunned while
this torrent of abuse poured
about his ears.
Later investigation showed
that the fighter planes had been
taken off at Scotland because
General Elsenhower and Gen.
Carl "Toughy" Spaatz had asked
the British to do so. However,
the incident illustrates the con
stant strain which existed be
tween the allies over the ship
ment of supplies and the desire
of American officials to please
Russia as far as possible.
There was also an occasion in
timation that Russia might pull
out of the war unless she got
sufficient support from the al
lies. In 1942, Avercll Harrlman,
then ambassador for lend-lease
visited Moscow and persuaded
Stalin that U. S. supplies should
enter Russia through the Gulf
of Persia and Teheran. Stalin
was much opposed to this be
cause of the long overland jour
ney and the fact that there was
no railroad connecting the Cau
casus with Basra, the Gulf of
Persia port.
To win Stalin's acquiescence
Harriman promised that the
United States would also in
augurate an air route via Alas
ka to Siberia for the shipment
of nonbulk goods.
The Alaskan base, accordingly,
was set up almost exactly the
way the Russians wanted it
They decreed that they would
take delivery of all American
goods in Fairbanks, Alaska, not

to remember about the wartime
now under such hot discussion
how he had attended an official
in Siberia. They then sent their
own personnel to Fairbanks, in
cluding aviators, women' clerks,
etc.
The expediting base for the
Alaskan-Siberian air route was
at Great Falls, Mont., where
Maj. G. Racey Jordan was sta
tioned. On the whole, relations with
the Russians at Fairbanks were
friendly and harmonious. How
e"er, in Washington there was
constant friction, not so much
with the Russians, but between
American officials as to what
should and should not be sent
to the Soviet.
For Instance, in the summer
of 1042, the Russians asked for
and were granted permission to
take delivery on two old oil re
fineries at Tyler and Longview,
Texas.
Secretary of Interior Ickes,
then in charge of the war pe
troleum board, OK'd the ship
ment of these refineries on the
ground that it would save Amer
ican tankers in shipping mil
lions of gallons of oil to Russia
At that time the submarine war
was at its height and anything
was considered better than los
ing tankers at sea.
However, other American oil
men opposed the shipment of
the two oil refineries and a long
drawn-out argument ensued
chiefly over the question as to
how much royalty the Russians
would pay American oil com
panies for the use of their crack
ing process.
This type of controversy over
supplies to Russia continued be
tween American officials almost
throughout the war.

To Strengthen
Pacific Fleet
Washington, Dec. 10 W) The
navy announced plans today to
strengthen its Pacific forces, al
tering a three-year shift of pow
er to the Atlantic.
Within the next few weeks it
plans to transfer the heavy
cruiser Rochester and the anti
aircraft cruiser Juneau from the
Atlantic to the Pacific fleet.
The announcement called the
transfer a necessary adjustment
between the fleets due to laying
up of other cruisers recently,
and a move to "equalize cruiser
division strength."
The transfer was announced
only two days after Admiral
Forrest P. Sherman,, chief of na
val operations, had expressed
concern over "weakening" of
the Pacific fleet.
The balance of U. S. naval
strength has been shifted in the
last three years from the Pacific
to the Atlantic. Whereas three
years ago major ships in the Pa
cific numbered 165 compared
with ISO in the Atlantic, today
Pacific fleet strength is about
85 major combat vessels as
against 160 in the Atlantic.
Reporters asked Sherman on
ly last Wednesday whether the
shift from Pacific to Atlantic
would be continued. He replied:
"I'm concerned over the
weakness of the Pacific fleet and
I've been going over ways and
means of strengthening it."
