HEAVY PRICE
PAID BY THE GERMANS FOR TERRITORIAL GAINS. M. LOZOVSKY'S SURVEY. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 9.55 a.m.) RUGBY, August 31. “in the course of the war so far, Germany has made territorial gains but has p a id the heaviest price,” M. Lozovsky (Chief of the Soviet Information Bureau) told a Press conference at Moscow. “The military power of the Reichswehr and the armies of Germany's vassals is weakening noticeably, while the Red Army continues to gather strength and grow. The Soviet Union has lost some territory, but has smashed the ide?, of the invincibility of the Reichswehr and the blitzkrieg.” Germany, M. Lozovsky said, had withdrawn a considerable part of her forces from the occupied countries of Europe. Replying to questions, M. Lozovsky stated that Marshal Budenny’s army was not encircled. Soviet attacks in the directions of Smolensk and Gomel were not major counter-offensives, but local battles in various sectors were inflicting hard-felt losses on the enemy.
