NGWAAtAAANG0 united states and Britain could gel supplies to Russia in sufficient quantity and in good time, 1t might vet prove that the Russians had won O bigger victory than the Ger mans in the first three months of eheir war, by holding tip the pick of the German army and inflictins losses which would damage the ell- tire German war effort.
 It was foreseen here that the Germans would start as scon as they could, a drive into the Crimean Peninsula and to the Donets river Basin.
 Undoubtedly, experts said, Ger many had in mind the possibility of cutting the trans-Iranian supply line to Russia if possible and of ob- taining oil from the Russian Cau~ Casus.
 Newspapers increasingly empha. sized the seriousness of the Russian situation and the need for i'm. mediate aid.
 What Will Britain Do
 Even the ra-conservative Times Joined strongly in the demand. It said that what Britain's military acion would be in face of the peril to Russia could not profitably be discussed. But, 1t added, it would appear that the present is the mo. ment for the utmost legitimate bold. ness" It said that no other army which could face the full might of Germany could replace the Red army, if 1t should be defeated.
 "Olir aim must therefore be to sup- port Russia in her gallant and dogged struggle by al means in oll: power" the Times said.
 Ivan Maisky, Rssian ambassador, appealed to Britain today to rush as many tanks as possible to replacn Russia's great losses on a common battlefront.
 His appeal was made in connec,. tion with tank week." This week every tank produced in Great Brl- tain is to 60 at once to Russia and tank workers have promised to break production records.
 we need more tanks and yet more tanks" Maisky said. "Wn produce many tanks ourselves. But OUT losses in tanks on 6 2,000 mile front have been great. We require your urgent help in order to rein force our own efforts. Your tanks will not be wasted. They will 90 out to batle at once. The sooner you send us tanks and the greater the number the earlier will the Nazl hordes be defeated"
 But 1t is emphasized again and again that the Russian aid problem ts long range one, in which Bri- tain and America must send all aid as soon as possible and point tow. ard . great flow Of weapons say six months hence.
 Royal Air Force Works
 The Royal Air Force was engaged In Q big campaign against continen- tal objectives, Its scope limited only, it appeared, by the extent to which bad weather reduced opera tions. This campaign, many in Lon- don felt, was designed to force the Germans to bring part of the Luft- waffle back to the west.
 It still seemed doubtful, however, that the RAF could attack heavily enough to give the Russians much respite.
 Moscow reported that capture of Kiev cost the Germans 150OO0 cas- ualtieS and that an equal toll of dead and wounded is being piled up by hte assault on Leningrad where some Nazi divisions were said to be suffering casualties ah high as 70 per cent.
 On the central front Russians claimed their offensive still is un- derway and has resulted in capture of g villages.
 From Tokyo came word that three big Japanese newspapers, Kogomin, Miyako and Hochi may be forced to suspend due to shortage of news print and that manufacture of 150 steel articles will be halted due to steel shortages.
 Stockholm heard from Norway that two ships loaded with Nor wegian refugees trying to get to Britai were bombed and sunk by the Germans off Bergen.
 Tn France Marshal Henri Philippe Petain again appealed to the pop- tlace to cease anti-German activity.
 Demands On Turkey
 Diplomatic reports and dispatch es from the Balkans today indi- cated Germany ispreparing new demands on Turkey and that Bull garia is preparing to join the Nazis if an attack on Turkey is ordered.
 Costa Todoroff, leader of the Bul- garian peasant party and chief op. ponent of the Bulgarian regime who is now in London, said he feared Bulgaria may be about to attack Turkey in an attempt to open a route to the Caucasus for Germany.
 He doubted, however, that the Bulgarian regime would dare to
