AID FOR RUSSIA ]
RED ARMY FIGHTS
U. S. INTERESTED
The United States will increase its ;
aid to Russia and seek to speed up
delivery of supplies to the Soviet :
forces now engaged in a desperate 1
battle with the Nazi Army,
gjp : ' ?? ? ? /y.'v &:?. 0$ 'j
Despite the contention of some
Americans that this country Bhould :
not extend aid to the Soviet, the Gov- 1
ernment takes the view that "materi
al assistance to Russia plays a vital
part in our policy of strengthening 1
the enemies of Hitler.
?
.
The realistic view is that the only
way to beat Hitler is by defeating
the German Army, and the only place
to defeat the German Army is where
| the* fighting is taking place. Just
! now the'battle is in Russia.
Opposition to extending Lend-Lease
aid to the Soviet Government has
been noticed in Congress, u well as
among some public speakers, which
sulminated hi a proposal that Lead
Lease appropriations should be made
with the proviso that rose of the ma
terials should go to the Soviet.
.7 ?
The United States, has already
moved to assis^ the Soviet Govern
ment.^ In August, some $10,000,000
was advanced with the understand
ing that it would be repaid in gold.
Last week, Secretary Morgenthau re
ported that a "little more than half
of this amount has been repaid."
. ^
This month, the Defense Supplies
Corporation, an RFC subsidiary, con
tracted with a Russian Corporation
for the purchase of Maganese, chrom
ite, asbestos and platinum to the val
ue of $100,000,000. Half of this
amount was advanced to the Corpor
ation against the purchase of sup
plies for Russia in this country.
Jt seems to us that it is essential
for the people of the United StabRf j
to understand the importance of ex
r " I
tending prompt material assistance
to Russia. The bulkof Germany's
military power is being used in an
effort to crush the Red Armjr, which
alone possesses the man-power neces
sary to defeat Hitler's inay.
Certainly, it would be the shsweat
folly for this country to withhold as
siatance to the army that is dofag the
Job that this country says must be
done in the interest of world peace.
There-aze'tteny experts who be
lieve that the continued reUstanee of
the Red Army repreaenta the only
change for the United States to avoid
using soldiers. The contention ia that
without the Russian Army, Ueanaiiy .
will not be whipped unless the Unit
ed States supplies millions of fight
ing men.
To avoid this development, as the- *
war continues, it is necessary to keep
the Red Amy going even if we lode
at the assistance extended as insur
ance against the death of our own
young men.
