Stop sending convoys to Northern Russia after the disaster in July gave an opportunity to the naval Ministry to a fully fleet of the metropolis.

In the evening we were at an official dinner in the Kremlin. Spread stupid stories about how these Soviet dinners turn into a binge. There is no truth to it.

Do not win the war plans.

Russian dictator quickly and completely mastered the problem, which was new to him. Very few living people could in a few minutes to understand the considerations on which we fought so hard for the past several months. He is praised immediately.

The man who is not ready to risk, can not win the war.

I arrived in the Kremlin and first met the great revolutionary leader and a wise Russian statesman and a warrior, which over the next three years I had to maintain a close, harsh, but always exciting, and sometimes even cordial relations.

I was thinking about his mission to this sullen, sinister Bolshevik state, which I so persistently tried to strangle at its birth and which until the appearance of Hitler, I thought mortal enemy of civilized freedom. What had I to say to them now?

Planning a giant event in 1943, we were not able to put aside all other responsibilities. Our first obligation to the Empire was to protect India from Japanese invasion.

We already knew that Hitler had instructed the German Navy to concentrate its forces in the winter in Norway, not only in order to prevent the English troops, but to prevent the flow of materials and munitions to Russia.

In accordance with the agreement, the Soviet government was responsible for loading supplies on their own ships and shipping them to Russia. However, they did not have enough courts for such a huge number of materials that we were ready to send, and the English and American court soon accounted for three quarters of the tonnage.

When Soviet Russia was attacked by Hitler, the only way we Americans could help her was the supply of arms and materials. They were delivered on a large scale of American and British goods and American military equipment, has transferred to England. Therefore, equipping our weapon-starved armies suffered greatly.

The British government in India, many worked hard to build a huge Indian army.

After the entry of Japan into the war the scale of the Anglo-American military action is almost directly dependent on the compensation of our ship at the expense of new construction. Ultimately destined to solve all marine problems due to the construction of the enormous number of merchant ships.

If the policy you get ahold of something good, then keep at it.
