DRAMATIC message
Leningrad Broadcast LONDON, Sept. 8. The Russians’, .sense of the dramatic was strikingly illustrated to-day when the Leningrad radio broadcast to the people of Russia, after which the Moscow radio replied. “Listen Moscow! listen Moscow! listen Soviet Union!” began the Leningrad radio. “Already for many days fighting has been going on at the approaches to our city. We remember what the people of Soviet Russia have already declared—the Fascist hordes will never see Leningrad. The enemy is throwing in neW fresh divisions, blit the people of Leningrad are indomitable. Hundreds of trains since 5 a.m. brought to thfe factories tens of thousands of workers, whose only thought is to produce more arms. Yesterday (Sunday) we did not take a day off. Half a million people went on working. Lorries laden with arms rushed to the front. Many carried also delegations with messages of cheer. Thousands of so-called Aryans have already paid, with their Stinking blood. We shall be victorious.”
Speeches by soldiers and commanders of the home guard followed. The Moscow radio answered: “Heroic LeniHgrdd. We heard you speak. Millions of Soviet people listened to your voices. We are convinced of your ultimate victory over the attackfers.”
