The British Press lias renewed its demand for the opening of a second iront in Europe, lhe newspapers emphasise tiiat Tile defeat oi tn© Nazis in Europe must not be left to the Russians alone. “An Allied invasion of Europe this year is essential for votary,’ they say. Mr \V. L Garvin, writing in tire Sunday Express, declares “that a su.pi cine ana stark sacrifice on something like the Russian scale will be required if the hopes of the Democracies for 1943 are t>© b>e i ealised by the end of the year*. We should never forget that tbe duty of* the Democracies towards the Russians is not to admire but to relieve them and this can be don© only by direct intervention in Europe The Sunday Express comments editorially tlius: “We have struck hard ana usefully in North Africa but this is not enough. If we can force the withdrawal of 50 to 60 German divisions from the Eastern Front we can fairly certainly look tor victory in. 1943 but tli e invasion of Europe will alone lead’ to this end.”
