MOSCOW SECRECY
WISH TO LIFT VEIL AMERICAN OPINION BRITAIN AND U.S.A. (Reed. Aug. 20, 9 a.m.) NEW YORK. Aug. 19. “Behind the British and American bid for a Moscow parley is anxiety lest Stalin should conclude a separate peacb,” says the foreign editor of the Scripps-Howard press, Mr. William Simms. He adds: “Britain and America desire to know more about Russia, which is maintaining the greatest secrecy. Soviet officials assert that the British and American observers know no more after their visit to the front than before as it is too long. Britain and America desire to lift the curtain for the Russians’ own good. They believe that even if Stalin is forced to fall back across the Urals he can keep Hitler fighting indefinitely. This would almost certainly lead to the fall of Nazism.”
