treaty, Russia would receive an ice -free port on the Arctic Ocean.

also getting a potential air base nearer to the western hemisphere
than any other Soviet area except the desolate tip of Siberia. Map
above shows how, over the newly important Arctic route, a 4300 -
mile flight -arc would take in the northern tier of important U.S.
industrial areas from Seattle to Pittsburgh, and cut the Alcan
Highway.
