RUSSIA TO OBSERVE
PATH ANNIVERSARY
President Will Release
Munitions Promised
at Conference

Washington, Nov. 7-lNS In the
hope that Nazlsm will bleed to
death on the battlehelds Of Russia,
President Roosevelt today present
ed the Russian people with billion
dollar birthday gift TO encourage
them TO continue lighting Germany.
The American government hopes
that its promise OF a billion doi-
lars worth of lend-lease help will
spur Russia 10 fight on even II
Moscow falls and the Soviet armies
are driven behind the Ural Noun
tains.
This desire to encourage the Rus
sian people TO stau1 firm in the
face OF Germany's great military
victories is understood TO have
been the main reason for the Presi-
dents startling offer to Soviet Die
tator Joseph Stain at this time.
American officials recognize that
transportation difficulties make il
impossible to translate the billion
dollar offer into any Immediately
effective practical help for the SO
Wet armies. However, it is hoped
that the psychological effect Of
knowing that the United States has
promised to send billion dollars
worth OF vital war supplies will
encourage the Russian people TO
fight on at this critical hour.
Announcement of the American
offer was deliberately timed to co
inside with Russia's celebration ~
the cath anniversary OF the October
revolution.
The President also notified Stain
that he has approved release Of
all American military equipment
and munitions which II was decid-
ed at the recent Moscow conference
should be sent to Russia

Democratic Leader Barley con
