PORT
WASHINGTON, MARCH 28 (UP).—THE POSSIBILITY OF GERMANY EXTENDING THE WAR TO THE FAR EAST THROUGH U-BOAT WARFARE FROM Á SOVIET PORT IN THE SEA OF JAPAN IS NOW BEING OPENLY DISCUSSED IN WASHINGTON FOLLOWING THE RETURN TO-DAY FROM HIS EUROPEAN TOUR OF MR. SUMNER WELLES.
Significance is seen in the recall of the Soviet Ambassador, M. Souritz from France, and the recent seizures of copper shipments to Vladivostok.
Officials in Washington believe that the partial blockade in the Pacific indicates that the Allies are confident that the Atlantic situation is sufficiently under control.
