HARD BATTLES AHEAD

GERMAN COMMENT

SOVIET RESERVES STILL

AVAILABLE

(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.) (Rec. 1 p.m.) LONDON, October 10.

The German Press is busily explaining to the people that the Fuhrer's reference to a last great and decisive battle does not mean that it will end the Russian war. The "Berliner Lokal Anzeiger," whose comment is typical of that of other papers, says: "No one conceals the fact that more hard battles must come, since Soviet reserves are certainly still available or can be brought from the depths of the Soviet Union. It is certain that Britain and America can overcome transport difficulties, and thus some material aid will probably reach the Soviet, but under no circumstances will it be adequate."

The "Volkischer Beobachter," echoing Napoleon's gibe against Britain as a nation of shop-keepers, says; "Europe is already freed from the worst danger of the Bolshevik threat, and the dirty little British and American . shopkeeping souls will never again be able to carry on business at the expense of the nations of Europe. This is the historic significance of 1941."

In the meantime, the "Pravda" continues firmly to declare that the enemy's temporary successes will never break the spirit of the Soviet people.'
