URGED BY MOSCOW PRESS (Rec. 1 p.m. London, Sept. 1. “Pravda” in an article on the third anniversary of the outbreak of the war
urges the immediate opening of a second front by the United Nations. “Hitler has hurled all his reserves into the Battle of Russia and laid bare the shores of the Atlantic. It is most important that his plans be upset now. The Russian as well as the British and American peoples know this. They know how important it is to bring greater activity into the struggle against the common enemy.” “Izvestia” says: “The last hope of German imperialists is that they outpace the anti Hitler coalition and achieve a decisive success before all the potential resources of the coalition are brought into play and before Allied army activity supports the struggle of the Soviet people. This scheme must and will be thwarted.”—P.A.
TALK OF PURCHASE BY TURKEY Berne, Sept I. H>f newspaper “Easier X&chHchten" quotes a Balkan rumour that Russia intends to sell the Black Sea fleet to Turkey. England and America are stated to be willing to finance the purchase.—P.A.
