IT IS NOW REGARDED IN MOSCOW AS ABSOLUTELY, INEVIT- ABLE THAT THE NAZIS WILL BE DEFEATED ULTIMATELY, NOT MATTER WHAT SETBACKS THE SOVIETS RECEIVE IN THE MEAN-

It is reflected in Moscow's mood and in the tone of Soviet propaganda.

rounds, restaurants and fine thea- trical exhibitions are in great diemund these warm clear even- ings.
