...Archangel. Sir Walter Citrine, General Secretary of the Trades Union Congress, who recently headed a T.U.C. delegation to Russia, said last week that he had seen Hurricanes being landed at the White Seaport of Archangel "hand over fist." But he said that ice was already forming in the harbor. The Russians have assured Britain and the U.S. that Archangel's two new icebreakers can keep this route clear. For the time being it is the best and quickest...
Vladivostok has been temporarily abandoned as a port of entry for U.S. goods, not only because of the danger of friction with Japan.

To keep Russia and China fighting back-to-back against the closing pincers, the Allies must keep a supply line to Russia open. The Archangel and the slender Caucasus lines might also be cut by Nazi arms. Only Vladivostok would then remain. Since the U.S. is committed to the delivery of aid to Russia, a Japanese attack on Siberia would be a direct assault on U.S. policy...

More probably this rumor originated with the arrival of the vanguard of the British-U.S. supply ships, with-perhaps a garrison to administer unloading and a military-naval escort to protect...
