GREAT CONVOY
LARGEST TOTAL OF MUNITIONS YET TRANSPORTED. TO RUSSIAN ARCTIC PORTS. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, September 26. A disclosure that no fewer than. 75 warships of the Royal Navy of varying sizes escorted the recent Anglo-Ameri-can convoy to Russia was made by Mr Eden in a speech at Leamington. The convoy, he said, had safely delivered in Russia the largest total of munitions yet transported in a single voyage from the United Kingdom and the United States. The shipment included aircraft, tanks, guns, ammunition and valuable stores of all kinds. “It is good to know that these sup-
plies reached our Russian allies at a critical time,” he said. “The Battle of Stalingrad is an heroic struggle and no praise can fairly describe what the Russian armies have achieved.” The convoy passed through the Arctic to northern Russian ports.
