RUSSIANS PUZZLED
Second Front Issues Not
Understood
L rifted Press Association—Copyright Rec. 1 p.m. I.ONDONT, Oct. 11. After another week in which the newspapers and radios of Russia an-d also Russian news sheets abroad have continued to give prominence to the subject of a second front, Reuter's Moscow correspondent says it has become dear that the Russians are unable to understand the considerations determining British and American decisions on strategy, especially regarding the opening of a second front.
A statement from an authoritative Lritish or American leader appears most desirable to prevent what looks 1 ike a further development ,in the fundamental misunderstanding.
The Moscow newspaper Pravda, after a comparison of British and American shipbuilding figures with the announced tonnage losses, declared: "German propaganda that lack of tonnage is curbing the Allies' expansion of war operations is worth nothing. On the contrary, the facts confirm the assertions of the British and American Press that Allied losses are much exceeded by the ceaseless string of new merchantmen."
