Strength of Anglo-Soviet PEACE OR WAR IN THE British Women
Alliance Re-Emphasised
LONDON, Aug. 31 (Renter).-"We will fight to the end until Hitlerite Germany is uiterly and cumpletely crushed,” said M. Ivan Malsky, Soviet Ambassador, speak- ing to-day.
"My people are fighting herofcally and with the great- est determination. They are building no half-way course." Declaring that his people had not the slightest doubt of the final issue, M. Malsky asked, “But what of the price?" He went on: "The Soviet people have already sustain- ́ed many losses and sacrifices in men, material and territory with the possibility of future losses and sacrifices, But everyone of them knows and everyone here knows that the closest possible military, economie and political co-operation between the peoples of Britain and the Soviet Union is the way to reduce those sacrifices to as low a level as possible.”
