 The Russian Name List
I have heard and read several statements that a man is "known to have been taken to the USSR because his name was one of 41 on a list the Russians provided us of Americans who were in their prisons." Let's examine the list and compare it to facts.
Thus, 33 of the people named on this list could not possibly have been sent to the USSR because they returned home, their remains were recovered, they did not meet the date criteria established by the Russians, or they were known to have died in their loss.
Because the Russians did not provide the dates of incarceration associated with the names on their list, we have no way of knowning if the people in jail in Russia were jailed in 1922 or 1968 or some date in between.

In 1937 the Russian obligations arising from bills that fell due during that year were paid before maturity by delivery of goods which were foreign exchange assets to us.
The Russians, however, demand that the obligations on bills falling due in 1938 be paid by deliveries of goods of their choice.
Promises regarding the Russian orders in Germany and credit operations are the only two means of activating the question of raw material deliveries from Russia, since the Russians do not deliver one penny's worth more than is required for the payment of their orders and credit obligations.
