MOSCOW, May Premier
Joseph Stain hailed the British
American aerial blows at Europe
today as foreshadowing a sec
ond front when all the Allied
armies will break the backbone
of the Fascist beast" with joint
smashes from east and west, and
called for the utter routing"
and unconditional surrender"
Of Hitler's Germany.
In May Day order of the day to
his nation and its army, Stain
echoed the unconditional surren-
der" keynote struck by Prime Min
lister Churchill and President Roose-
velt at their Casablanca conference.
The Russian leader signed the Or
der both as supreme commander and
as marshal, the latter title recently
conferred on him for his direction
of the Russian winter offensive.
He praised the Allies campaign
on the North Africa front which to-
gether with the air war, the Russian
successes and the failure of the Ger
man conteroffensive in the Khar-
kov region. Stain said. had caused
a great Axis crisis which resulted in
a German "babble about peace"
Decries Nazi Propaganda.
Decrying German propaganda at
tempts to split the Russian British
American control, he threw of Ger
man peace talk with the statement:
But of what kind of peace can
one talk with the imperialistic
bandits from the German Fascist
camp who have drowned Europe in
blood and studded it with gallows?
g" 1t is now clear that only
the utter routing of the Hitlerite
armies and the unconditional sur
render of HitleTite Germany can
bring peace to Europe
The German Italian Fascist camp
is experiencing q great crisis and
facing catastrophe This does not
mean. of course. tnat the catastrophe
of Hitlerite Germany has already
come.
Another two CT three powerful
blows from the west and east are
needed such as that dealt to the
Hltlerlte army in the past five or
six months, for The catastrophe of
Hitlerite Germany to become an ac-
compllshed fact. For this reason
the people of the Soviet Union and
their Red Army as well as our Allies
and their armies still face a stern
and hard struggle for complete VIC
tory over the Hitlerite fiends.
Great Sacrifices Demanded.
This struggle Will demand of them
great sacrifices, enormous staying
power and iron StanchneSS. -"
His message was addressed not
only to the army. guerriuas and
workers, but to people engaged in
the intellectual professions" and
brothers and sisters temporarily
under the yoke of German oppres-
sors."
The Russian winter campaign. he
said. showed that the offensive power
of the Red Army had grown and
added:
The Red Army must strike
at the enemy still stronger and ex-
terminate mercilessly the German
invaders and drive them necessarily
out Of the Soviet land Stain
charged his troOnS
The Germans. smarting under
their reverses, have quit talking
about lightning war, Stain pointed
out.
"Vociferous talk about lightning
war has yielded its place to grievous
lamentations about the inevitability
of protracted war he said.
The German Fascists boast
no more that they have effected Or
intend to effect a lightning often
sive but that they managed to slip
away deftly from fianking blow
by British troops in North Africa or
from encirclement by Soviet troops
in the area of Demyansk, he
scoffed.
Stain thus derided the attempt
to split the United Nations:
'Treacherous to the marrow them
selves, the German imperialists have
the nerve to apply their own yard
stick to the Allies. expecting that
one OF another of them will swallow
the bait"
