"The peoples of the Soviet Unior must rise against the enemy anc defend their rights and their land J he said. "The Red army, the Red navy and all citizens of the Soviet Union must defend every inch ot Soviet soil, must fight to the last drop of blood for ou rtowns and villages, must display the daring initiative and intelligence that are inherent in our people.
 Tn case of forced retreat oi Red army untis, all rolling stock must be evacuated; the enemy must not be left a single engine, a Jingle railway car, not slngle pound of grain or a single gallon of fuel.
 Collective farmers must drive off all their cattle and turn over their grain to the safekeeping o1 state authorities for transportation to the rear.
 "All valuable property, including non-ferrous metals, grain and fuel which can not be withdrawn must without fail be destroyed
 "In areas occupied by the enemy guerrilla units, mounted and foot must beformed; diversionist groups must be organized to combat enemy troops, to foment guerrilla warfare everywhere, to blow up bridges and roads, to damage telephone and telegraph lines, to set fire to for ests, stores and transports.
 Make Conditions Unbearable
 "In occupied regions conditions must be made unbearable for the enemy and all his accomplices They must be bounded and anni- Inflated at every step, and all their measures frustrated"
 Before Stalin made his extraor- dinary appeal at 2 a. m. (midnighi EDT), the Russian war conimu. nique told of terrific battles or fronts extending from the Arctic Sea to southeastern Poland.
 Big scale fighting was noted or the Murmansk Arctic front. the Kexholm front on the shores ot Lake Ladoga; on the Dvinsk Baltic front, on the Borisov,. Slutsk and Bobruisk White Russian front and on the Luck Ukrainian front.
 Two attacking German-Finnish infantry divisions were checked on the Murmansk front, the commu nique said, and suffered heavy loss es in Russian counter-attacks. Ger Finnish attacks were checked in mid-Finland and in the Kare- Han Isthmus, it was said.
 A big battle continued on the Dvinsk front with the Germans trying to break through to the northeast, toward Leningrad, it was noted, and there was fierce fighting between mobile units in the Borisov, Slutsk and Bobruisk areas.
 Intense fighting continued in the Rovno region east of Luck, the communique said, and the Germans were meeting tenacious resistance in an attempt to break through southeastward into the rich Uk- rainian wheat fields.

 Stalin Talks Differently

 He said that despite heroic re- sistance by the Red Army, and des- bite the smashing of some of Ger many's best divisions, the Germans continued to push forward, hurline fresh forces into the attack.
 "A grave danger hangs over oul country" he said. How could il have happened that our gloriou; Red Army surrendered number o1 our cities and districts to the Fascist armies? Is it really true that Ger man Fascist troops are invincible as is ceaselessly trumpted by boast ful Fascist propagandists?

Napoleon'S army was considered invincible but it was beaten Successively by Rus sian, English and German armies Kaiser Wilhelm's German army IT the period of the first imperialls' war was also considered mvincible but it was beaten several times by Russian and Angelo French forces and was finally smashed by Anglo French forces.
 Not Yet Fully Resisted
 '~The same must be said of Hitler'S German Fascist army today. This army had not yet met with serious resistance on the continent ot Europe. Only on our territory has it met serious resistence. And ii as the result of this resistance the finest divisions of Hitler's German Fascist army have been defeated by Our Red Army, it means thai this army, too, can be smashed anc will be smashed as were the armie: of Napoleon and Wilhelm"
