In every town and village in Europe, from the Ural Mountains to the channel ports, that truth is known ... to the Czech, the Pole, the Hungarian who takes his life in his hands and crosses the frontier tonight-or to the Italian who goes to some American consulate-this ideal that beckoned him can be a mirage because of the McCarran...

...eastern Ukraine and the trans-Ural area form Russia's most efficient steel" making region, providing 75% of all Soviet steel capacity. Russia's best coal comes from the Kuznetsk Basin (or Kuzbas), halfway across Russia. From there, it is a long haul to the Ural mills, to say nothing of the mills in European Russia. The steel mills of central Russia must transport their ores and coal from the Ukraine in the south and from the war-developed mine at Vorkuta (also a famed slave-labor camp) on the Arctic Circle...
