Lend Lease, October-November 1943

Lend Lease : Oct-Nov.19A3 - PSF SECRET Lend Lind Lease 6.7 OFFICE OF LEND-LEASE ADMINISTRATION FIVE-FIFTEEN 22d STREET NW. WASHINGTON, D.C. file October 9, 1943 MEMORANDUM TO: The President FROM: Bernhard Knollenberg SUBJECT: Soviet Supply Program In accordance with your directive dated October 2, 1942, I have prepared a brief statement of the major current factors in the Soviet Supply situa- tion. The regular monthly statistical report on the entire program will follow in due course as soon as the information has been gathered and correlated. Bernhand Knollenbing DECLASSIFIED x4193 State Dept.

Shipping September exports continued the rising trend of the summer months to reach a total of more than 500,000 long tons. This record is the highest monthly export figure since the Pro- gram began. September successes were caused in considerable measure by continuation of the recently increased Persian Gulf loadings and by heavier West Coast loadings, including nine tankers. Soviet loading plans have emphasized industrial equipment and raw materials during the summer. Truck shipments maintained a high level with departures of approximately 10,100 units. October shipments are not expected to reach September figures, although the outlook is not discouraging. Considerable difficulty has been caused by the fact that the program on the Pacific is off balance with more vessels in Soviet ports or on route thereto than in the United States ports or on route there- to. The character of October shipments from the West Coast is expected to indicate a trend towards food, since during the winter months navigational difficulties force vessels through Japanese waters and food becomes the most convenient type of cargo. II. Airplanes Airplane departures were maintained at a reasonably high level during September with 401 clearances. Of this number, 48 were shipped under commitments of the United Kingdom. The balance were in satisfaction of Third Protocol U. S. commitments. The Alaskan Route continued to be the most valuable with 225 de- partures. Flight deliveries over the South Atlantic were limited to 27 medium bombers while water departures for the Persian Gulf reached 149. Delays in assembly of planes in the Persian Gulf area are being given extensive attention by the Army Air Forces. Ac- cumulation in this area at the end of September had reached 1,000 planes. Additional personnel has been sent to aid in the assembly. 21972 SECRET By J. SECRET - 2 - III. Stocks At its meeting of September 30, 1943, the Protocol Committee reviewed the Subcommittee on Supplies' report on the stock situation. This report showed availabilities of approximately 935,000 short tons, packed for shipment. This total excludes foods and petroleum. It was stated that the steel stocks had been reduced from 600,000 short tons at the end of May to 378,000 short tons at the end of August and that production schedules are being developed of such a limited nature that the stocks should be reduced to 255,000 short tons by the end of December. Stocks of non-ferrous metals have already proved inadequate and steps are being taken to speed deliveries. Chemical reserves are being kept to an anticipated 90-day shipping requirement. The Protocol Committee received the Subcommittee's recommendation that the stocks were not too large in view of the fact that they represent all supplies between manufacturer and open water; shipping has been proceeding at a rate in ex- cess of that anticipated in the Protocol; inland transportation delays in supplying vessels on both coasts requires greater reserves, and sudden shifts in Soviet shipping priorities can be met properly only if considerable reserves are held avail- able. 21972 By J.

WAR SHIPPING ADMINISTRATION Filession yend Yease WASHINGTON October 11, 1943 MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT Our shipments to Russia during September exceeded all pre- 4193 vious records. We cleared a grand total of 503,617 long tons, of which 313,036 long tons moved through the West Coast. This accomplish- ment on the West Coast was due to the number of ships presenting as well as the fact that there were quite a few large ships in the list. Unfortunately, the prospects on the West Coast for October are not so favorable because there is currently a lack of balance in the ship positions, a much larger number being in Soviet ports or enroute there- to than in American ports or homeward bound to the United States. We recently made an analysis of the turnarounds of the Liberty ships employed in this route to see if they could not be speeded up. The survey showed the average turnaround was 99 days, made up as follows: Time spent in the United States loading and repairing 19 days Time from sailing to arrival in the Petropavlovsk- Nagaevo-Nikolaevsk area 14 days Time from arrival in the Petropavlovsk-Nagaevo- Nikolaevsk area to arrival at Vladivostok 35 days Time in Vladivostok 13 days Time eastbound 18 days Total 99 days While certain improvements can be made in the loading time in the United States, the real bottleneck is in the 35 day period re- quired between the Petropavlovsk-Nagaevo-Nikolaevsk area and Vladivostok. E.O. 11652, DECLASSIFIED Sec. 3(E) and 5(D) or (E) Commerce Dept. Letter, 11-15-72 By RHP, Date MAR 21 1973 DECLASSIFIED E.O. 11652, Sec. S(E) and 6(D) or (E) - 2 - By RHP, NARS Date MAR 211973 The reason for this is due to a number of factors which we have com- mented upon in previous reports. But the point we want to emphasize now is that this time factor will probably increase with winter approach- ing due to the added operational handicaps incident thereto. For this reason we believe that during the winter months some reduction in the number of vessels employed should be seriously considered, to the end that the units remaining may be operated with greater efficiency and the surplus ships may be employed elsewhere, Fortunately for all we have just received advices from London that the northern route will be resumed in November. Present plans call for a monthly cycle and for approximately 30 to 35 ships in each convoy. For the first one the War Shipping Administration is loading in the United States ten dry cargo ships and one tanker carrying alcohol (see Exhibit A), and in England five dry cargo ships. The British are fur- nishing the balance. The W.S.A. ships loading in England will lift part of the cargo which was left over from that discharged by the 28 dry cargo ships diverted to the United Kingdom from North Russia last spring. It is expected that the amount of cargo we will clear through the northern route will offset any deficiency occuring during the winter months in our Far East operations and that the combined total of all three routes will enable us to fulfill our protocol requirements. On the Persian Gulf route we exceeded our protocol commitment. Twenty-six Soviet Aid ships and two P.G.S.C. ships sailed during the month carrying a total of 190,581 long tons of cargo for the U.S.S.R. (See Exhibit B) In addition, these ships carried 10,004 long tons for пощи bodries nonaer is - 3 - the P.G.S.C. and 4,086 long tons for the Bahrein petroleum project. Of the 28 Soviet Aid and P.G.S.C. ships, 25 were routed through the Mediterranean. Several of the Mediterranean convoys have been attacked. One, and perhaps two, of the ships sailing this month have been seriously damaged. The British sailed one Soviet Aid ship from the United Kingdom in September and have sailed four more in October, thus building up aid to Russia through the Persian Gulf. Soviet and P.G.S.C. cargo discharged in the Persian Gulf in September totaled 172,300 long tons. The backlog in ships at the end of the month was 85,000 long tons, of which approximately 35,000 long tons consisted of cargo in ships arriving in the last three days in September. The backlog is therefore at approximately a normal working level. Although there has been some delay to shipping on account of waiting for berths, a large amount of this can be attributed to the impossibility of scheduling arrivals exactly to meet available spaces. A fifth berth has been com- pleted at Bandar Shapur. It is expected that during the remainder of this year the discharging capacity will be sufficient to handle the expected tonnage without causing congestion, and that it will exceed inland clear- ance capacity by a small margin. We expect to sail in October approximately the same number of Soviet ships and P.G.S.C. ships as in September. (See Exhibit c) We should therefore again exceed our protocol commitment.

We have also been successful in having the Navy make available to the Russians the icebreaker North Wind. This icebreaker is expected to be ready for delivery December first and should be of great value to the Russians in whatever employment they select because of her power and modern design.

NA COVL PETROLEUM ADMINISTRATION FOR WAR WASHINGTON SUPPLIES FOR THE U.S.S.R. REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT PETROLEUM PRODUCTS We are informed that it is hoped to supply Russia during the Third Protocol year with a total of 410,000 short tons of petroleum products from U. S. sources, as follows: 300,000 tons blending agents 60,000 If 100 octane aviation gasoline 50,000 # diesel oil, lubricants, waxes and misc. products 410,000 tons In addition, 120,000 short tons of 100 octane gasoline are to be shipped from Abadan, and the British are to be compensated by equivalent shipment to them from U. S. sources. It may therefore be said that, in effect, a total of 530,000 short tons of petroleum products are scheduled for shipment from U. S. sources for the benefit of the Russians during the current Protocol year commencing July 1, 1943. This represents a considerable increase over shipments in previous periods since the date of the German invasion (June 22, 1941), as shown below: Short Tons Schedule vs. Prior Periods Scheduled 7/1/43 - 6/30/44 530,000 Shipped 7/1/42 - 6/30/43 218,000 243% Shipped 6/22/41 - 6/30/42 281,000 189% Shipments diverted to the United Kingdom while en route to North Russia have been eliminated from this and the succeeding tabulations, and replacement shipments from the United Kingdom to North Russia have been included. The increases in supplies of aviation gasoline and blending agents scheduled for the Third Protocol year, compared with the previous periods, are even greater than in supplies of all products as a whole. The tabulation below shows scheduled supplies and past shipments of aviation gasoline and blending agents. As a matter of convenience, both the blending agents and the aviation gasoline are expressed in terms of 100 octane gasoline, with one barrel of blending agent considered as equivalent to 2.5 barrels of gasoline.

S(E) and 6(D) or (E) STAMPS Interior Dept Hx,11-3-72 (The figure for the last Protocol year takes into account the latest information on diversions and replacements.) We have called to the attention of the President's Soviet Protocol Committee a Teheran report recently received by us which sets forth the difficulties of supplying material to the Russians out of Abadan, because of a shortage of tank cars. It is understood that political difficulties in Iran were narrowly averted last year as a result of very low stocks for internal consumption. As a recurrence of this situation must be avoided, sufficient transportation has to be reserved for Iranian service, and this naturally restricts the facilities available for the Russians. Steps are being taken in Iran to increase the number of cars. The following tabulation summarizes the petroleum product shipments that have been made to the USSR during the period June 22, 1941 (the date of the German invasion of Russia) to September 30, 1943: Aviation Gasoline and Blending Agents 3,987,213 Bbls. Motor Gasoline 768,514 If Miscellaneous Naphtha and Kerosene 41,678 " 295,018 " Gas Oil 27,831 " Fuel Oil 161,041 " Lubricating Oil Grease 6,951 " Tetraethyl Lead 15,057 " Lubricating Oil Additives 22,795 " Total 5,326,098 If Ceresine and Paraffin Wax 3,113 Short Tons. Included are 270,000 barrels of 100 octane aviation gasoline estimated to have been supplied in July, August, and September from Abadan under an exchange arrangement. PETROLEUM REFINING PLANTS We have just been informed that according to a revised estimate, the total tonnage of equipment involved in the six Second Protocol units will amount to about 150,000 short tons, as against a. previous estimate by the engineering company of 139,000 tons. As of September 28, 105,000 short tons had been shipped to Russia or were loaded in ships, and an additional 36,000 tons had been shipped from manufacturers' plants. Of the 9,000-ton balance, 3,500 are not required at this time, and will be delivered later in accordance with an arrangement made with the Russians a number of months ago. The 5,500-ton balance will be delivered promptly. BECLASSIFIED MAR 21 1973 2 E.O. 11652, Sec. S(E) and 5(D) of (E) to (Type On the same day (September 27) that the Office of Lend-Lease Administra- tion wrote to the Soviet Government Purchasing Commission to advise of the agreement of this Government to provide the refining equipment desired on the so-called urgent program under the Third Protocol, the Commission wrote to us to inform us of a desire for further equipment on this program. This addition is completely unexpected, and will involve a further policy decision by the highest Government authorities. OILFIELD EQUIPMENT While a few advance copies of requisitions for various oilfield equipment have been received, we are still without any indication of total requirements of this type of material during the Third Protocol period. We are given to under- stand that submission of an oilfield equipment program under the Third Protocol is delayed by the fact that there is no special allotment for this type of material in the Protocol. All orders for this equipment must therefore presently be taken care of out of allotments for other equipment categories. RECOMMENDATIONS We have no recommendations to make at this time.
