SECOND FRONT.
RUSSIAN VIEW OF EMERGENCY. RELATION TO SUPPLY PROBLEM. LONDON, October. 7. The Moscow correspondent of “The Times” says: “One hears criticism expressed in - Moscow that the quantity and quality of British and American war materials is under expectations, and in some cases is less than what was promised. The question of aeroplanes is particularly emphasised. “The Russian attitude will be misunderstood abroad if it. is not realised that the .question of material aid and ,a*"second front are considered irt Moscow as one and the same question. Naturally, if the Allies are '.contemplating an immediate offensive against Germany, Russia wishes to be as strong as possible in order to play her part in the* east. Oil the other hand, if the Allies are not planning to attack Germany soon, it is felt that Russia has a paramount claim to as much as possible of the best with which to go on fighting defensive battles, which help the Allies; as much as the Russians.
“In judging the Russian attitude it should be remembered that for the greater part of the year the Russian people believed that victory was possible in 1942.”
