Opening of 2nd Front Is l rgcil
c »
.
LONDON — Lord Beaverbrook, Great Britain’s
former production chief, made an impassioned plea
for the workers to support him in demanding the open- !
ing of a second front. Beaverbrook spoke to one of
the largest crowds ever assembled in Victoria Square
in Birmingham. He declared that the British people
believe in the Russian Army and in the skill of its 1
generals and the quality of its equipment. The former
Production Minister declared that the British people
declared that the Russians had fought one of the most \
strategically brilliant wars of all time.
Came Close To Winning
And Beaverbrook declared that no one knew how
close the Russians had come to beating Hitler last1
year. A bit more, he asserted, and Germany would
have been crushed. The stocky little publisher then
flayed those who would oppose a second front now—
even after the signing of the British-Russian alliance.
He named specifically the Bishop of Birmingham and
the Duke of Bedford. The Duke, he said, not only I
was opposed to a second front, but to a front any-:
| where. But, said Beaverbrook, so is Hitler opposed
to a second front.
Must (live To Russians
The former production chief declared that the Brit
ish would have to give the Russians all that they ask-'
ed for, and more. Said Beaverbrook: “The story was
the bombers would win the war. The bombers have i
done wonderfully well, but you will not beat Ger-1
man production by the devastation of a German dis
trict. It was the army who won the last war. The
army will win this war. Properly supported and right
ly sustained by bombers and fighters. The army is
adequately equipped for this job. The army is waiting
and wanting to do it.”
Continued Lord Beaverbrook: “Now is the time for
us to show that we democracies are rulers of the
world, not by money or munitions, or plans or pro
jects, but by hard straight blows & killing and killing.”
Statement of Cripps
The British government leader in the House of
j Commons, Sir Stafford Cripps. told a huge crowd in
Empress Hall that the attack on Hitler in the west
must be launched as soon as there is a prospect of suc
cess. Said Sir Stafford: “It is success that is the es
sence of the help that we can render to our Allies.
Failure would damage and would not assist our com
mon cause. When we strike, let us strike hard, with
determination to march through to Berlin before we
call a final halt. When that moment will come, we
cannot say, I am not going to help Hitler bv telling
you or him. It may be sooner or later, though Hitler
has apparently guessed it may not be too far ahead."
Filled To Capacity
The hall was filled almost to capacity. There was a
large party from the Soviet embassy. Soviet Ambassa
dor Maisky and Madam Maisky were at the reception
as were representatives of all the Allied governments.
United States was represented by Ambassador Winant.
Sir Stafford pointed out that the question of a sec
ond front in Europe was discussed with Foreign Com
missar Molotoff of Russia during Molotoff’s London
visit. Cripps added that future generations would hail
the Anglo-Russian treaty as the great foundation for
the structure of the first world war.
British Production Minister Oliver Lyttelton told
newsmen that Churchill and President Roosevelt were
discussing the question of a second front and “almost
everything else in their conferences in the U. S.
Lyttleton disclosed that he was one of the select
few to greet Mr. Churchill on his arrival in the Unit
ed States Thursday. Lyttelton himself left America
Saturday and arrived at a British Home Counties
Airport Sunday morning.
The British Production Chief said he could disclose
nothing more concerning the Roosevelt-Churchill con
ferences. But he waxed enthusiastic about American
production, which he said surpassed that of Britain
about two months before anyone had expected it would.
The United States is producing about four billion
dollars worth of munitions each year, which in terms
of money is equivalent to building the Panama Canal
, once every six weeks.
ATTACK ON JAPAN URGED
CHUNGKING — The Chinese press joined yester
: day in calling on President Roosevelt and British
i Prime Minister Winston Churchill to open a new of
fensive against Japan, in the Far East, in addition to
! a new offensive aaginst Germany on the continent of
Europe. The papers declared that the urgency of halt- :
I ing Japan is as great and possibly greater than that of
| stopping Hitler.
The National Herald expressed hope that Church
ill and Roosevelt would decide on an immediate major
air offensive against Japan, to support the Chinese
position in the Far East. The China Times hoped that
the two government heads would decide on a greater
centralization of the war organization.
The Chinese leaders feel that they have not been
given sufficient voice in deciding Allied policies in the
war effort.

if the Japanese-C.S, war moves northward. Sitka, a thriving fish

Columbia, is about 2,3'J1 miles from Hawaii.
