ONLY NEEDS SUPPLIES
NEW YORK, October 30,
Mr. Harry Hopkins, the first American supply envoy to Moscow, writing in the "American Magazine," says that M. Stalin declared: "We Russians will win the war. .The battle-line will remain west of . Moscow. Russia won't fail. Russia is big and inexorable. The Russians are fighting for Russia, and she will not again be enslaved. Once we trusted this man (Hitler)."
Mr. Hopkins commented: "I hope I shall never be hated as Stalin hates Hitler." .
He added that M. Stalin does not want an army or a navy, and that Russia wants to fight her war herself. Russia's man-power and reserves are huge, but M. Stalin said frankly that Russia needs tanks, planes, big guns, anti-aircraft and anti-tank guns, octane fuel, and huge quantities of barbed wire.
