SPLENDID VICTORY OF RUSSIA
Mr Churchill’s Message To M. Stalin (Rec. 10 p.m.) LONDON, May 9. Mrs Churchill, broadcasting over Moscow radio, said: “On this glorious day of victory my husband has asked me to read this message from him to M. Stalin: ‘I send you heartfelt greetings on the splendid victory won in driving the invader from your soil and defeating the Nazi tyranny. It is my firm belief that on the friendship and understanding between the British and Russian peoples depends the future of mankind. Here in our island we are often thinking of you and we are sending from the bottom of our hearts wishes of well-being and happiness. After all the sacrifices and martyrdom of the dark valley through which we have marched together we may also now in loyal friendship and sympathy march on under the shining sun of victorious peace.’ ”
