lease Lend Shipment,
Sped Soviet Victories,
Land Tells Hearings
By Tie Associated Press.

By Tx Associated Press.
Russia,s winter drive into Ger
many was bolstered by 3,44700 tons
of lease-lend cargo shipped during
the last six months of 1914, Vice Ad-
lniral Emory S. Land informed Con-
gress today.
Urging extension of the lease
lend program for another year be.
yond its June 30 expiration date
the head of the War Shipping Ad-
ministration told the House Foreign
Affairs Committee the shipments tc
Russia were substantially in ex-
cess of earlier goals.
They included, he said, urgently
needed foodstuffs for the Red Arm
les, munitions, equipment for Soviet
war industries, railway equipment
and motor trucks.
Shipping Losses Small.
The steady flow of this cargo has
unquestionably had a substantial
influence in bolstering the Soviet
war effort" Admiral Land declared
particularly with respect to critica
items which they are unable to pro-
cure themselves. Without this ma
terial support over the past severa
years, it is questionable if the Soviet
armies would have attained theil
present great striking power
Shipping losses in the supply
routes to Russia, Admiral Land tolc
the committee, are now negligible
on both the North Russia and Medl-
terranean routes"
Admiral Land said the war sup
plies move into Russia through
routes to Murmansk. Archangel ano
the Black Sea. The latter service
was inaugurated early this year anc
places cargo directly at Russian raj
heads at Odessa and other Black Sea
ports.
Still Short of Ships.
In addition, Admiral Land ex.
planned, Russian fiagships operate
across the Pacific to the Unltet
States
He said merchant shipping still /!
in critical short supply and prob
ably will continue SO until the wal
in Europe and the Pacific is won"
The magnitude of the shipping
job being performed by vessels under
United Nations control" he said, 81!
demonstrated by the volume of ex-
ports from the United States in 1914
totaling 77,508.00O long tons"
This, he said, represented an in
crease of 27 per cent over l943 anc
the equivalent of the carrying ca
pacity of more than 10000 freight
cars and 100000 tank cars.
