Reward For Boldness Of Anglo-Soviet Policy

By Reuter's Special Correspondent MOSCOW, Aug. 31 (Reuter)--The Iranian cease fire is regarded here as a quick and deserved reward for the boldness of the Anglo-Soviet policy of nipping in the bud the German threat from Iran, as a demonstration of the Iranians' reluctance to co-operate with the bullying Ger- mans, and, as a happy ending to the first direct co-opera- tion between British and Soviet troops.

The truth of Danton's dictum "Boldness, more bold- ness, always boldness" as leading to success in war was em- phasised to me round a proverbially friendly Russian sup- per table by a middle-aged Russian who, though he hadn't always liked the Soviets, nevertheless admitted that boldness has been the secret of the Russians' successful resistance:
