AMERICAN WEAPONS
Great Part In Battle
(Received November 24, 0.20 p.m.) LONDON, November 24.
The American supply envoy, Mr. Averell Harriman, broadcasting from the Middle East, said, “When the first American tanks were unloaded I inspected them with General Auchinleck. An American sergeant drove the general in a tank to demonstrate it, and Auchinleck on his return said, ‘lt is a fine weapon, manoeuvrable and sturdy. How many can you send?’ “Many have arrived in the intervening months. Your pilots also have confidence in the Marylands and Tomahawks.
“The hearts of all Americans are with your troops in the desert fighting. We hope and pray that our tanks and planes are serving them well, allowing us to claim a share in the critical battle.
"The American air officers instructing the Russian pilots told me they adapted themselves quickly to the American planes.”
