Tangible Evidence Of Stubborn Russian Resistance
LONDON, November 19. British and American members of Sir Walter Monckton’s party, who have arrived in the Middle East from Samara, are unanimous concerning the stubbornness of the Russians’ resolve to beat the Germans. They saw train after train travelling eastwards carrying dismantled factories. The first trucks contained machine tools, then came the steel works and even the brick works of the factory, and finally came the workers with their families and furniture. All were cheerful and undismayed. Sir Waiter Monckton, who has arrived in Cairo to take up his post as head of the propaganda and information services, said that in Samara there was no sign of worry or depression, only patience, perseverance and determination to win the war. He thought the position of Moscow was better than it was a month ago.
