WARFARE IN FAR EAST POSSIBILITY OF OPERATING FROM SOVIET SEA PORT

SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH”

WASHINGTON, MARCH 28 (UP).—THE possibility oF GERMANY EXTENDING THE WAR TO THE FAR EAST THROUGH U-BOAT WARfare from A 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.

Mr. Welles arrived here to day, and without making a single comment, proceeded direct to the State Department and later conferred with President Roosevelt for 45 minutes.

Official quarters expect part of Mr. Welles' report to deal with the possibility of the extension of the European war to the Far East as a result of the new ten- sion between the Allies and Ruggin.

trends that I noted will undoubtedly affect his report, writes a U.P. special correspondent.

Fically, Signor Mussolint during the last three weeks gave the impression | that he believes Germany now has a chance to win, the war. The Italian press is again boastfully using the word "axis."

Allies'. Confidenca

Secondly, the Allies are confident that they are winning air supremacy over Germany and have resources for at least 8 or 10 years of war if neces- Jary.

Thirdly, the Allied confidence in

the efficacy of the blockade is not as strong as it was two months ago, but

GERMAN claims that the aircraft-carrier Ark Royal had been sunk were completely dis- counted this week by the official announcement that she had returned to a Home port. Here too is pictorial evidence of the continued existence of the vessel. Picture shows the Ark Royal during her recent call at Cape Town, with the cloud-capped Table Mountain providing a picturesque back- ground for the big warship.
