Alliance Re-Emphasised

LONDON, Aug. 31 (Reuter)."We will fight to the end until Hitlerite Germany is utterly and completely crushed," said M. Ivan Maisky, Soviet Ambassador, speak. ing to-day.

"My people are fighting heroically and with the great- ext determination. They are building no half-way course." Declaring that his people had not the slightest doubt of the final Issue, M. Maisky asked, "But what of the price?" He went on: "The Soviet people have already sustain- ed many losses and ancrifices in men, material and territory with the possibility of future losses and sacrifices. everyone of them knows and everyone here knows that the elosest possible military, economic 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."

Special to the "Telegraph"

MOSCOW, Aug. 31 (UP).- The Russian assaults are reported to be stemming the German tide on all fronts as Soviet officials to-day boasted that Russian resistance has already turned Hitler's plans of conquest into an “ignominious fiasco,"

Dispatches reported that the Red army is inflicting huge casualties on the Germans in fierce fighting from the Arctic circles to the Black Sea. Nearly 10,000 casualties have been suffered by the Nazis in three separate battles.

As the titanic battle of Russia entered its eleventh week the newspaper "Izvestia" predicted a "complete collapse" of Hitler's original plan, when he sent his armies smashing into Poland two years ago to-morrow starting the second world war within a generation.
