Late News GENERAL SITUATION OUTLINED
(Rec. 2.15 a.m.) NEW YORK, August 26,
Arthur Krock, Washington correspondent of The New York Times, says high ranking officials who have just returned from Britain and had access to the most confidential sources express the following views of the general war situation; —
Britain.—Mr Churchill is stronger than ever. His Government does not face any loss of power or office, while the resolution of the British people has never been stronger than it is now. Egypt.—Reverses, sanguinary battles and narrow escapes from disaster are expected. Nevertheless, military men are confident the Allies can maintain air supremacy and thus win through. Russia.—Mr Churchill, who. found M.
Stalin wholly co-operative, learned more about Russian military matters than he or any other statesman previously knew. According to this information the Russians expect to hold the Caucasus, also to maintain a winter stand, probably along the Volga. Pacific.—Following the American naval offensive the Japanese will not try to attack Australia or India.
