RUSSIAN FAITH IN VICTORY
LONDON, April 29. Mr. Yaroslavsky, a member of the Central Committee of the Communist | Party, in a broadcast over Moscow ; radio, declared: "We, on the eve of May ! Day, know that heavy and decisive battles are ahead, and that in the [coming months, and perhaps weeks, the fate of the whole world will be decided. "Fifteen million men have perished in the colossal struggle which is being waged, and if those tortured to death in the occupied countries are considered, the figure reaches enormous proportions. The world has never seen such slaughter, but despite the heavy losses of the Soviet Union, we are facing May Day with complete faith in our strength to win. '•The Germans cannot strike such blows as previously. They lost 9000 tanks on the Eastern Front last winter. Their new offensive will be launched by an army which is no longer certain of victory. "Today we are not alone. We rejoice in every success of our allies. We are striving to uphold the Anglo-American-Soviet alliance against the enemies of mankind."
