RUSSIA DETERMINED
DEMAND FOR FRESH FRONTS HUGE AMERICAN ARMY ASSEMBLING READY FOR THE GREAT DAY (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.5 a.m.) LONDON, December 7. It can now be disclosed, says the Cairo correspondent of the National Broadcasting Company, that M. Stalin went to Teheran only on condition that the British and American war leaders came prepared to discuss concrete plans for second and third fronts. M. Stalin would never have gone unless the Allies were prepared to strike in Europe, and soon adds the correspondent. The fact that the Russian delegation was limited to three outstanding personalities—MM. Stalin, Voroshilov and Molotov—was an obvious indication that M. Stalin went to Teheran primarily to look over the Anglo-American war plans. It also indicates that Russia is asking advice from nobody concerning her own military moves and is reserving the right to follow through to Berlin from the east.
Mr Morley Richards, the “Daily Express” military writer, says: A threeway attack on the European fortress would mean the employment of at least five million Allied troops with probably another one million as reserves. The Allies might start a great assault from three main bases—Britain, the southern Mediterranean, and the Russian shores. In Britain a huge American army is assembling to join the British and Canadians. They will be protected by thousands of aircraft held in reserve for the great day.”
