"CRUCIAL MOMENT"
MORE AID FOR RUSSIA
URGED
(Rec. noon) LONDON, Jan. 18. "The crucial moment," is how Che "Daily Mail's" military iorrespondent, Captain Liddell Hart, refers to the general war situation. He says the successive extensions and alterations of the Russian pressure should multiply the strain upon the Germans, achieving more than the depth of any advance. Captain Liddell Hart urges that the United Nations should create more distractions and thus give the Red Army a greater chance to exploit its opportunities. The "Daily Telegraph's" military commentator says that the new Russian offensives almost indicate that Stalin is attempting to secure a decision in the field this winter. The commentator, however, warns the public against under-estimating the effect of the North African diversion. He says that although the threat o^ the Mediterranean front is temporarily inactive, the diversion has come at a time when Hitler's preoccupations in j Russia have reached an increasingly critical stage.
