- misuse the Allied achievements in Italy for Russas
advantage.
Demanding that the United States and Great Britain
open Immediately second front the English
Channel Russia is waging twofront propaganda cam
pagn for her purposes,
One front is in Washington at the Soviet embassy.
The other front is in Moscow at the seat of Boshevk
government,
The embassy has used its Soviet information
bulletin to promulgate before statesmen and COM
mander the idea that German deenses France are
substantial but combination of Atlantic wall
and German bluff.
IAN mpregnabe wall does not and cannot exist"
the bulletin says.
But American and British military leaders know
better than that
They KNOW what happened at Dieppe year ago,
where three-fourths of English and American COM
mando of over 10000 men utterly annihilated.
Ginning in with the Soviet eHabassys assertions the
Soviet government itself using the line Of propa

ON THE day when the embassy at Washington was
~ making it's pronouncement bring pressure to bear
upon our government, the Daily Worker in New York
reprinting its front page the full text Of an
editorial from Izvestia which is the Kremlins official
organ.
The Daily Worker headline declares:
Soviet blows doomed Italy, says Hyestia.'
And the editorial rhetorically asks:
why is it that the course of military events forced
Because both Hitler and Mussolin suffered a defeat
on the Soviet German front"
Therefore argues Izvestia the Allies should abandon
their strategic concepts and invade France that the
Nazs will be compelled TO divert troops from the
East and Of course, enable Russia to dictate terms to
Berln-SOVlET terms.
is obvious that Russia is determined to direct the
i policies of the Allies and to direct them in her
own interests, REGARDLESS OF DIFFICULTIES AND
DANGERS INFLICTED UPON THE ALLIES.
1t would almost seem that Russia is ANXIOUS to
see the Allies invite disaster.
And it is simply not true that Russian armies east of
the Ukraine forced the capitulaton of Italy
Quite otherwise the Allied campaigns in Africa and
Sicily have unquestionaby diverted German strength
away from the Russian theater and thus have HELPED
RUSSIA to make her gallant stand.
We might as well accept and fully comprehend the
plain fact that Russia does not like us.
Russia accepts grudgingly and unapprecatively the
enormous aid that she receives from u.s..
She has always declared her hatred of industrial
democracies.
Yet it is the industries and the financial power of
America that supplying Russia with the implements
of war which necessary for her success and definitely
responsible for HER victories.
D USS1A does not honestly and decently admit this
In fact she claims credit for the Italian
surrender for which she had but little to do
The democraces must realize that despotic Russia
does not view with friendly eyes the triumph of liberty
She is not anxious to the general victory of the
democracies.
She likely to take any steps which shall insure the
success of bolsheyism and prevent the plans of the
demOcracies for world of free
Russia is plainly trying to make a Bolshevik peace
with Germany and Austria through her puppet COM
mtees and might at any critical moment transform her
treaty with Japan into military alliance.
The Allies would better preserve all their strength
for such an eventuat and not dsspate their strength
in unwise military efforts just because Soviet Russia
wants them to do so.
