The students at the universities of Moscow, Leningrad, , and Kiev, the Moscow Medical Institute, and the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute have’ sent a message in reply to one they received from the council of the National Union of Students of the Universities of England and Wales sending their heartfelt greetings in the name of the student world. . “At this time, when Great Britain and the Soviet Union are united in the sacred coalition against Hitlerite Germany, your promise to contribute to a full realization of this collaboration is particularly dear to us. We do not doubt that the youth of Great Britain, which for two years has been courageously resisting the Fascist barbarians, as well as the youth .of the Soviet will do all in their power finally to destroy our common enemy and rescue democracy, culture and civilization. We are .supported in this by the whole of tha progressive youth of the world and, above all, by the youth of the countries subjugated by Fascism. “We are firmly persuaded frat our joint struggle for full victory over German Fascism, a struggle waged on the land and sea and in the air and conducted simultaneously on two fronts, will lead to the downfall of Fascism. Right will triumph and victory will be curs.”

Messages of greeting also have been publicly exchanged between representatives of the Soviet naval air force and Admiral A. L. Lyster, Chief of the British Fleet Air Arm.
