NEED OF TANKS
RED ARMY’S DEMAND “CALL MUST BE MET’ 9 BRITISH PRESS OPINION (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press As&n,) (Reed. Jan. 30. 2.30 p.m.) LONDON, Jan. 29. The Star, in a leading article, says that General Gororov who, as commander of the Red Army in the Mojaisk sector, is well qualified to speak, states that the Soviet tank factories continue to turn out many tanks, but the issue partly depends on the fulfilment of the obligations entered into by our Allies regarding the supply of tanks.
The Star adds: “That is a clear call that must be met at all costs. No bad news from the Far East and no urgent calls for reinforcements to our own endangered outposts can for a moment stand In the way of General Gororov’s call. If enough weight can be brought to bear now at a few decisive points northwards and southwards of Smolensk, the Germans may yet be overtaken by a catastrophe.”
