In position and In importance to their respective countries, New York City and Leningrad have many resemblances. Each is normally its nation's leading port and each hut important munitions and other defense- vital Industries, shipyards and trade offices. New York is the largest city of the hemisphere; Leningrad the second city of Russia. New York Is about as far from the northeastern bor der of the United Slates as Is Leningrad from tha nearest German 'territory Half of Oil Lost "As the German forces have made their deepest thrusts tn the south 800 miles across the Ukraine to the major Russian were m.rroreu on map ui uic industrial region of the Donets United States that is, with the basin, so fighting would have American east corresponding to reached eastern Texas and Amer the Russian west the position I 'f'f mst product've oil fields of the battle lines and occupied regions in terms of United States geography would r-veal striking similarities between the two countries. "Roughly measuring Invaded Soviet territory agjinst the east ern United States,' says bul letin from the National Geo graphic society, "will show to what a considerable extent American economic geography reads like Russian. "On our artificial 'transfer' war map of the t'nited Status, Moscow would coincide roughly with Indianapolis; Leningrad would find its closest counter part In New York City; and the hotly-contested Donets basin front would be reflected ap proximately In east Texas.

"In a mile-for-mile analogy, If we assume loss of eastern Texas, the United States would have been deprived of almost half its oil production (Russia's oil sources are still Intact), most of its best hard and soft coal mines In Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio (with the Donets basin go the Soviet's greate-t coal mines), most of the lndu:irial centers of the east and nearer middle west (Russia's Ural and Siberian Industrial centers are still un touched; factories still are in Russian hands in the eastern Donets and Moscow areas), "While Russia, rowever, has lost her chief Iron supplies with the western Ukraine, the United States' main source of that es sential ore, In the Iron ranges of the western Lttke Superior our compari back of the Send Thanksgiving Curd It will make someone's day happier because you remem bered SWEM'S GIFT SHOP son, still be far fighting front. Overrun Regions "Detroit, Chicago and St. Louis, lying beyond the over run regions, would match the Russian towns of Ryazan, Gorki and Saratov. Giant manufactur ing cities of the 'occupied' area Boston, Philadelphia, Pitts burgh, Buffalo, Cleveland and i Cincinnati would be roughly comparable to German-captured Kiev, Odessa, Kharkov, Zapc- rzne, Nikolaev and Stallno. The shipyards of Maine, Massachu setts, the Delaware river and southeastern Virginia would cor respond to the Soviet-lost ship building centers on the Black sea and the Gulf of Finland. Steel centers in western Penn sylvania and central Alabama would have their counterparts in the Ukraine. "The Volga would find Its twin in the American Missis sippi, both in central position and In importance to Internal trade and communications. And, as most of the Soviet Union's people are concentrated In Euro pean Russia west of the Volga, so the bulk of United States population lives east of the Mississippi. "The barrier of the Appala chian uplands would have no equal - in European Russia; Its serried natural defenses are much deeper and much nearer the country's edge than the comparable Ural mountains, which lie 1.900 miles from the Soviet western border.

But in actual productivity the almost-lost Ukraine, with the Iron mines of Krivol Rog, the Dnieper manganese deposits and the Donets coal, presents a closer parallel. Grain Left "If the Russians lose all their Caucasus oil fields, the loss will be comparable to the United States having to abandon the Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma and Kansaa fields in addition to those cast of the Mississippi. Both nations would have considerable oil supplies to full back on. The United States position, with the rich California and other far-western state wells still un touched, would b better than the Russian in this respect. For it Is thought that the Soviets have not yet largely developed their oil resources in the Volga Ural, Emba and Asiatic areas. "Although the Ukraine wheat production now represents only about a quarter of the total Russian crop, the still serious loss of Ukrainian wheat fields would as yet have no counter part in this area-for-area com parison with the United Stales. For the great American wheat growing regions all lie to the west of the Mississippi river, from central Texas north to the Canadian prairie provinces. E"en the rich corn belt extending from Ohio to Nebraska would be occupied only un its eastern fringes. Likewise, east of Mos cow and the Ukra'ne, Russia has vast agricultural 'ands as yet untouched by war."
