IRAN AND IRAQ
GENERAL WILSON’S MEN DEVELOP DEFENCES
(Rec. 9.15 p.m.) LONDON, October 21. The men of General Sir Henry Maitland Wilson’s new command are changing the face of Iran and Iraq by opening new roads and enlarging old ones, says the correspondent of The Daily Express. “This is the moment for all-out work, not for talking,” said General Wilson in an interview. “There is not a man among us who would not like to be fighting alongside the Russians with the shortest possible delay. We still have a great deal of work before us in overcoming the vast distances in question.” The correspondent says that during a week’s tour he saw great convoys of lorries, heavy guns and up-to-date tanks rolling across the Persian highways. It is the best propaganda for Britain’s war effort this country has seen for many a day.
