AID FOR RUSSIA

THE announcement thát a wing of the Royal Air Force is already tune- tioning in Russia is good news. This latest contribution to the Soviet Union's war effort is perhaps the best answer to those doubters who were recently accused by Mr Churchill of

speaking "as though nothing were being done" to supplement his promise that Britain would assist Russia as far as it lay in her power, This aid would be given, though it would mean a -"definite--re- duction in military supplies from America on which we had counted," he declared.

The arrival in Russin of a wing of

the Royal Air Force, significant as it may be, by no means constitutes the first or only step taken to assist Britain's new Ally. Immediately after the outbreak of hostilities a

military mission was sent to Moscow and has been there ever since. Figures, for obvious reasons, are withheld, but it is a known fact that large stocks of war materials have already reached Itussia. A combined
