627, May 29, (SECTION
Transport of strategic mc ternals from China over
same route would require long haul in as much as most
of the materials--tungsten, tin, silk, bristles--
originate in south.
The Lanchow trucking route appears to be
most practical. Possible altErnate air transport routes
Lanchow, Ninghsin Urgh Irkutsk (1500 kilometers) and
Kabul through South Sinkinng to Suchow, Kansu.
Two ma jor factors are involved, (one) Russian
assent to transit of war naterials for China and
nareement to transport materi ls to .lma- to and
(two) supply of gasoline for truck operation betveen
and Lanchow. Other problems such as supply
of trucks, spare parts, and tires, Et cetera can
probably be solved onc E factors above are resolved.
Embassy will report further on sitmation as any
additional inforu tion becomes available.
