RED FRONT DRIVE

RED FRONT DRIVE
The Soviet is intensely eoeer TO have the British
and Americans open up second European front.
Every news story that comes from Moscow is
filled with propaganda for such q development Inc
old cocksure spirit is gone Day otter day we are told
that the Russians are doing the best they can, but
Ahey are outnumbered outeunned, and facing dis
oster
Now and then we are reminded that the morale
of soldering in the ranks is suffering as they ask
each other sadly: "Where are our oIlIes' Where is
that second front?"
NOBODY can blame the Soviet for this propaganda
drive to force our hand. The Russons have put up
marvellous defense against HitIers ormes With their
blood they have given to England and the United
Stotes new Ieose on life.
They are entitled to expect that we will do every
thing we can to relieve them in their distress, for our
sokes as much as for theirs.
Thot however, is no excuse for American Conn.,
nnunsts and fellow travellers who playing the game
of foreign nation here today even as they played
the game Of foreign nation while Russia Hiter's
oily and, therefore, our undecored enemy.
Timed so accurately thot the theory of coinei-
dence is strained, q group Of known Red Frontiers
held rally in New York, heroIded with Ioree odver-
tisements in the dolly press ITO support the President
for the opening of Second Front Now"
The rally was sponsored by the Greater New York
industrial Union Council C.l.O., with Joseph Curron
as president and Saul Mills secretary. The featured
speakers included some nonCommunsts plus Cur
and the leader Of the pro-Communist wing Of the
American Labor party, Congressman Vito Morcon-
tonic.
These we're the same leaders who bitterly op-
posed every move to prepare American defenses
against Hitler up to the day Der Fuehrer invaded Rus
sio and who thereupon became most vociferous od-
vocotes Of war;
At the same time and women, some recog-
nzobIe as od-line Communist party workers, began
distributing in the subwoys and streets postcards od
dressed to the President pedene support Of your
ond front agreement" and adding: ut is needed now
without further deoyI see danger to victory unless
the western front is opened immediately"
Here is an obvious attempt by thoroughly dis
credited element to stampede President Roosevelt
into action, timed perfectly to coincide with the drive
Of q foreign government to thot same end.
1t should be ignored.
Nobody is aggressive or impatient of delay,
in SUCH matters, than Franklin Roosevelt and Win
ston Churchill. Their records ore repIete with proof
that the second front all want will be opened the
first moment it has any slightest chance Of success
Messrs. Roosevelt and Churchill need no prodding
They need no printed postcard assurances that their
countries ore with them. All they need is the ships
the pIones the other armament and munitions.
Let our Red Front concentrate on helping to pro-
vide weapons Let them leave war strategy to denoc-
rocyrinded leadership.
