British Press
Cheers Speech

London, July 5-(APD-pre5iden,
Roosevclts Independence Day speech
was cheered today by the British
press, though some editorials cN~
pressed disappointment that he aud
not commit the United States TO
more actlVe participation III the war,
Through crro, it had been an
nounced on the radio and in print
,hat the message would be address,
ed to Britain.
Typical of pre- comment Was the
following:
The Times. Fewer and fewer
Americans believe any longer that
their country can refuse to take its
fun share in determining thai the
issue shall be me which allows
freedom to survive and flourish"
Daily Herald Three great fig
ures lead mankind in the struggle
to defend human freedom, Church,
i'll. Stain and Roosevelt. We can
only hope the Presidents repeated
warnings VIII speedily convince
those Americans who still hope for
safety from ISOLATION"
One of the papers which found
the Presidents speech unsatiSfving
was The Daily Sketch. which de
clared the address did not take us
any considerable distance
HAS not the time come" The
Sketch asked, for the United States

Report
German Force
Driven Back

Moscow, July 5.-(Ap) The Rcd
Army reported today that IT had
beaten bac. continuous might ana
day German attempts to force the
Bcrczina and Drut rivers, plling high
the banks and filling the waters of
both strategic barriers with the
bodies of the unsuccessful invaders.
(Thc Drut river parallels the his
1oric Berezina. running north and
south approximately 40 miles east of
the Bcrczina. The Soviet claim Of
frustrating German attempts to force
both rivers VA puzzling, since the
Germans could not have reached the
Drut without FIRST crossing the
