 Washington, Sept. 13-(UP)-The longest military supply lines in his- tory were ordered opened today by President Roosevelt in order to di- vert a portion of American war materials to Russian troops en- gagged in a death struggle with Ger many on the eastern front.
 The United States mission to Moscow, headed by lend-lease ex- pediter w. Averell Hartman, re- ceived last minute instructions from the White House before its depar- ture for the Soviet capital and the three-power talks which will de- termine the extent of Anglo-Ameri can aid to Russia's fighting forces. Departure of the mission for Lon- don, the first step of its historic journey, is expected hourly.
 Hartman disclosed after con- ferring with the President that probably the most important point o fentry for American supplies will be the Persian Gulf - opened for allied operations by Russo-brltSh occupation of Iran.
 1l,5OO Sea Miles
 Utilization of this gateway en- tails sea shipments over l1,500 nautical miles from New Work to Basra. Iraa, at the head of the Persian Gulf, for transshipment over tha ancient "aolden road to Sanar- kand," through the Caucasian Mountains over hundreds Of miles of poor transportation lines to re- pots for Russian fighting units.
 Shipments to Basra by the Pacific would travel approximately the same distance by water.
 Success of the supply line is con tingent upon the ability of Great Britain to control the seas and the results of MT. Roosevelt's order to U. s. forces to sweep American de- fense waters clear of Axis raiders
 But Harriman's i've man mission will be assigned to develop this nne That problem will be handled nere by military and naval traffic ex- perts an din Siberia and Iran by Russo British commissions.
 Hartman said the Moscow con- ferences will be designed first to determine what proportion of Anglo American war materials can De diverted immediately to meet Rus sia'S needs.

Chinese Govt. Japanese Sponsored Regime Are to

JAPAN TO WITHDRAW

Plans Not Yet Confirmed But Everything Points to

BY ROBERT BELLAIRE United Press Staff COrrespondent)

United Press Staff COrrespondent)
 Tokyo, September 1S. - (UP) = Usually reliable in- fornnants said today that the Chinese government and the Japanese-sponsored Ranking regime, set up in an attempt to undermine it's authority, were nearing an agreement by which a unified Chinese government would be estab- lished.
 Any such agreement would neces- sarily mean the end of the Chinese Japanese war. and also would be an essential part of any long range Japanese American agreement on general pacific problems.
 It was impossible to confirm the statements of the informants. But there have been circumstanStal tn- dicataons that an agreement would be welcome to the Japanese.
 The agreement would really be between China and Japan, For the so-called Nanking regime merely purports to rule in Japanese occu- pied China.

KING REVIEWS
 FIGHTING ARMY
American-BuiIt Car Took Him Over Rough Ground
 to See His Troops
By EDWARD w. BEATTIE, JR. Limited Press Staff Correspondent)

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 With the British Army in Eastern England, Sept. 12.-(UP)-(delayed) king George, jostling over miles of rough ground in an American built transport car. reviewed today a self-contained arnlored division which includes, beside its tanks, its own artillery and airplaneS and even its own parson.
 The division was the first ever masSed at. one spot in Great Brl. tain.
 After the king had driven past 1t, he took the salute as the division with Its tanks, guns and auxiliary formations churned past him.
 There had been more tanks in some of Adolf Hitler's birthday parades but 1t was believed Hitler had not paraded an entire division, capable of fighting its way and feeding, fueling and repairing itself over @ long distance in hostile ter ritory.
 King George saw the sort of for- nation which would be counted on to crush the first forces Hitler might land in Britain in an inva- sion attempt, or might some day be called upon to seize and secure a foothold on the European side of the channel.
 Hard Bitten Army
 It was hard-bitten, Self-con- tained army which the king saw, with resources on wheels and trac- tors which would permit it to bridge rivers and care for the health of & small city.
 Brig. Gen. Raymond E. Lee, American military attache, was one of those who saw the review.
 Britain has still too few arrnored divisions and nobody denies 1t. For that reason it was unable to take the opportunity now, while Russia was engaging the main German armies, to hit the coast of Europe But correspondents who like my self saw the British army leave France IS months ago, Spiking their guns, driving their tanks and trucks over the ends of docks, burning other equipment and thus leaving the country almost without weap- ons, were impressed by what fac tories had produced in the last year
 As a show of military strength the men brought together from g dozen concentration points to line up in this review proved far more (Continued on Page 9
