TOPICS OF THE DAY
Russia's Difficulties “ Judged completely by itself, the Red Army presents a picture which would make an opponent hesitate before attacking the Soviet . Union. If. however, the army is taken as merely one small part of the Soviet front, and the civilian population and the Soviet industry taken as the other parts the weakness of the Soviet military machine in war is clear. Russian transport, which has always functioned badly since the Soviet revolution, remains an unsolved problem and a dangerous liability in war. Soviet war industry is still unable to produce many machine tools; the confiscation of more than half the machine tools on order in the United States by the American Government for its own uses was a blow to the Soviet war industry which was far greater than the dollar values of the tools indicated. The American moral embargo on aviation gasoline and machinery to make it also cripples the Soviet military machine.”—New York Herald-Tribune.
