FAILURE TO CREATE ONE

SOVIET DISSATISFIED

(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.) | (Rec. 12.45 p.m.) NEW YORK, Sept. 24. Mr. Wendell WiHkie will return to the United States with a story of growing Russian disappointment and dissatisfaction over the failure of Britain and America to establish a second front, says the Moscow correspondent of the Associated Press. Mr. Willkie has talked with the highest officials and the humblest workers. All expressed appreciation of Britain and America, but it is apparent that only a second front will satisfy Russia. Without it the Soviet will feel terribly let down. Mr. Willkie said nothing after seeing Mr Stalin to allay the impression that he also had found disappointment at the Kremlin. More outright criticism of Britain and America is heard in Moscow. Mr. Willkie and his companions confess that they were surprised to discover the depth of feeling everywhere. The Russians now openly tell British and Americans, in Moscow that the Soviet is shouldering the whole burden of the war. The correspondent adds: "It may be a very cold winter in Moscow, and I don't mean that it will be the weather alone which will be frigid."
