Emphasis On Second Front
LONDON, June 27. M. Stalin, in his reply to President 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 that he placed on the second front. To President Roosevelt he said: “As a result of the Soviet Union’s two years of struggle and the serious blows that the Allies inflicted on Italian and German armies in North Africa, conditions have been created for final defeat of the common enemy. I have no doubt that victory will come—the sooner we strike our joint united blows against the enemy from east and west.” To Generals Giraud and de Gaulle he said: “The Russians are confident that the Allies’ joint effort will terminate in complete final victory.” President Kalinin, in a similarly sent message to President Benes, of Czechoslovakia, brought out the same point. “I share your full confidence that the United Nations’ joint active efforts will lead to victory.”
