SOVIET PERSISTENCE
APPEALS FOR SECOND
FRONT
LONDON, September 24. The Russians are persistently putting out appeals for a second front. The "Soviet War News," the daily Press sheet issued from the Soviet Embassy in London, says: "The Battle of Britain has shown that air blows would not force the enemy to capitulate. Britain is now fully armed. The Royal Air Force rules the skies, the Navy is stronger than at the outbreak of war, and Britain has the opportunity to deliver a blow against the enemy." . . ~ Ilya Ehrenburg, the Soviet author and journalist, in an article in the "Soviet War News," says: "France is ready to burst its banks like a river in spring. The French do not want to bide their time for a favourable opportunity. With or without ships, and without the Allies, France can no longer wait for zero hour, and is striking." Moscow radio says: "All the world can see that 15 months after the outbreak of the Russo-German war the Nazis are still pursuing their strategy undisturbed, without having to worry about the West. Hitler's trump card has been his ability to deal with his enemies one by one. The. card must be knocked from his hand. The Battle of Stalingrad is also the battle for Burnley, Rochdale, New York, and Baltimore."
