Europe must have fuel this winter to avert unrest
Interior Secretary Harold Ickes announced that the United States would ship six million tons of soft coal to Europe by January to prevent hunger and social unrest from shortages. He warned that diverting all coal could worsen domestic shortages of soft coal by twenty five million tons and hand coal by twelve million tons, risking greater cuts for industrial and home users. The Interior Department urged releasing 30,000 of 130,000 miners for emergency production as a path to relief. In Moscow, Premier Stalin praised the navy and called for higher seaman discipline and upgraded capability, while Navy Commissioner Kuzenetsov said the postwar task was to absorb recent experience and strengthen armed forces.
