flermans Will Face

Serious Threat If Soviets Last Three Months.

ASHINGTON. June iii-val)- Th‘! Nazi ivar machine must crush iiia Red Army in three months or face disastrous difficulties, accord- mg to well-informed opinion here.

A smashing German victory with- in | month. as predicted in Ber- iin, is considered entirely conceiv- able. hoivever.

‘The whole outcome of the Russo- German fighting hinges. it was said, on Red Arniv strawizy—whether the Russian forces fellow th ample and remain spread out in an ‘(tempt to defend all frontiers, or withdraw intact to interior positions to take advantage of rivers and other iiiiturui defences. Unless a masterly retreat succeeds. the Red Army iices the peril of being cut lip quickly.

Assuming the Nazi objective to be destruction of the Russian forces as in offensive threat, it is believed the Germans may attempt a gigan- tic pincer movement from the north and south flanks of the 2.000 mile front, using Russia's great interior rivers to safeguard the flanks of the advance.

At the same time. experts expect | direct attack from the Warsaw front towards Moscow. more than B00 miles distant. After proceeding about half ivay to Moscow. these forces might swing north and south io ioiu the attempted cnvelopment

tish fighter was saved.

Two of Germany's long-range Elms on Cap Gris Nez came to lire for the first time in weeks and shelled the Strait of Dover for nearly half an hour early today-- only to draw to themselves the ex- plosives of the RAF.

The German salvces were be- lieved directed at a. British convoy in the strait. ' The flashes from the German guns lighted up several miles on the French coastline and cast a glare to the English shore.

The sheling hardly had ceased when a burst of anti-aircraft fire above Cap Gris Nez and terrific explosions suggested the R. A. F. was dropping its new and power- ful bombs on the gun positions. The combination of British air raids with super-bombs and the fireworks from Germany's long- range guns turned the channel and northern France into an active

WASHINGTON, June 23—(AP)—- The United States cast its sympa- thies officially on the side of Sc- viet Russia in the new conflict with Germany today and opened the def- inite prospect of lease-lend or other material aid to the Red forces.

A government ‘declaration issued on behalf of President Roosevelt by Sumner Welles. Acting Secretarv of state. asserted that the principles and doctrines of "Communism: dic- tatorship" were as “intolerable and as alien" to the American peopi? as were those of “Nazi dictatorship.’

But it branded Hitler's armies as “the chief dangers of the Americas and said that “any defence against f-litierisin" and “any rallying . forces ormcslnlt Hitlerism from whatever source" would hasten the downfall cf Cierman leaders and “rebound to the benefit of our cwn. defence and sectirity." l
