Grips Calls on U. S. and British to Help
Russians DecisiveIy Beut Nozis This Spring

This latter method, which ha,
been adopted by the British govern
ment as its principle, may lead tt
many omissions, especially when
things are going badly, but it does
not ;ead to exaggeration of success
It is this latter principle that the
Russians have utilized.
It has, indeed, been remarkable
and noticeable that accounts Of
Soviet victories have been restrained
in many cases and little or no news
been given until it was certain that
an operation would be successful or
in most cases until 1t had actually
resulted in success.
Reds Oppose Overconfidence.
If you compare the announce
ments of the Germans as to the cap
ture Of towns, always premature and
often false, with those of the Rus
slams, you should have no difficulty
deciding on the comparative relia-
bility of the two.
At the present time the Soviet
government is most anxious, for OBJ
viouS reasons, not to allow any feel
ing of overconfidence amongst their
people to diminish their effort, and
for that reason, apart from all
others, they do not want to exag-
Rerate their successes.
