CONFIDENCE IN VICTORY
LONDON, June 27. : Premier Stalin, in a reply to Presi- | dent Roosevelt and Generals Giraud 'and de Gaulle, broadcast over Moscow radio thanking them for their message of congratulation to the Red Army on its two years' struggle, emphasised the importance to be placed on a second front. To Mr. Roosevelt he said: "As a result of the Soviet Union's struggle of the past two years, and the serious blows the Allies have inflicted on the Italian and German armies in North Africa, tho conditions have been created for the final defeat of the common enemy. I have no doubt that victory will come —the sooner we strike our joint blows against the enemy from east and west." To Generals Giraud and de Gaulle he said: "Russians are confident that the Allies joint effort will terminate in complete and final victory." President Kalinin, in a similar message to Dr. Benes, brought out the same point: "I share your full confidence that the United Nations' joint active efforts will lead to victory."
