A column notes that two thirds of North Vietnam’s imported materiel comes from the USSR or satellite states, challenging the idea that China supplies most war materials. It cites a list of “non strategic” goods approved for sale to the Soviet Union by the U S Department of Commerce, compiled by Rep Richard Roudebush. The items range from raw materials like crude rubber and minerals to machinery, tools, and rail components, implying broad economic support for the war effort.
