SECOND FRONT
Demand By Sunday Press
LONDON, January 3.
The British press has renewed its demand for the opening of a second front in Europe. The newspapers emphasise that the defeat of the Nazis in Europe must not be left to the Russians alone. An Allied invasion of Europe this year is essential for victory, they say.
Mr J. L. Garvin, writing in the “Sunday Express" declares: “Supreme energy and stark sacrifices on something like the Russian scale will be required if the hopes of the democracies for 1943 are to be realised by the end of the year. We should never forget that the duty of the democracies toward the Russians is not to admire, but to relieve, them. This can be done only by direct intervention in Europe.” 'The “Sunday Express” comments editorially: “We have struck hard and 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 for victory in 1943. Invasion of Europe will alone lead to this end.”
