No. 6,000 25 June, 1943
All the reports from Russia at the end of her second year of war show how the grim determination which marked the earlier phases has been succeeded by a firm confidence in her allies. Mr Joseph Davies, returned from his mission to Moscow as President Roosevelt's special envoy, has given a glowing picture of the Russian leadership, of the spirit of the rank and file, and of the vast industrial and agricultural resources beyond the Urals. The Soviet press and the Soviet radio have given far more credit to British and American contributions to the war that they were willing to do some time ago, and both Pravda and 1zvestia have spoken warmly of the Anglo-Soviet treaty and the confidence it inspires in co-operation between Britain and Russia after the war. Mr Davies has recorded that Russia is increasingly turning her eyes towards the West, and desires to cultivate a better understanding with us. We must demonstrate how fully the desire is shared here.
