ATTACK IN WEST
IN ORDER TO ASSIST RUSSIA ADVOCATED BY LORD BEAVERBROOK. OPPORTUNITY THAT MAY PASS. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) WASHINGTON, April 25. “Strike out to help Russia. Strike out violently; strike even recklessly,” said Lord Beaverbrook, British supply envoy and former Minister of Production, in a speech today.
He stated: “The day has come when in almost every quarter of Britain the cry goes up, ‘Attack!’ There is a passionate desire deep in the hearts of the British people to aid Russia. The Russians kill more Germans every day than all her allies put together. Russia is the fighting front. “Stalin has vast knowledge of the war; he is a master tactician, and in the end he will defeat the enemy. He is convinced that the best defence is attack; in the midst of disaster Stalin ordered an attack.” Lord Beaverbrook said he believed in Russian attack, and believed that the British should adopt it by setting up somewhere along the 2000 miles of coastline which is now held by the Germans a second front in western Europe. It was an opportunity to bring the war to an end here and now, but, if the Russians were defeated never would such a chance occur again.
