SECOND FRONT?
SYMBOLIC EFFORT SOVIET SUGGESTIONS LANDINGS BY BRITISH (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. Nov. 20, 9 a.m.) LONDON, Nov. 19. Two “symbolic” landings by British forces on the Continent this year—one in northern Norway and the other on the French coast —are mentioned by the Moscow paper Pravda whic:i, in a leading article, declares that what astounded the Germans most in M. Stalin’s recent speech was the confident statement that a second front must be established in Europe. The Pravda adds that the German propagandists thereafter redoubled their efforts to prove that a second front cannot be created.
After giving the opinion that the entire continental coastline is fully accessible for landings by air ana also by naval parties, the Pravda says the establishment of a second front would be greatly facilitated by “inter-action” between the Britisn and American navies and by constantly increasing the American aid for Britain and Russia.
