War Situation Last Night

(By KIRIW L. SIMPSON, Associated Press War Analyst)

A "N!" Slum 0i 110116 that the German offensive in ‘the Don Basin is losing some of its momentum and may be halted is reflected ln Moscow press advices.

They make no effort however to conceal the u g situation or the imminelrt dosage; of a German break-thzrfbauzhytllt ll: Volga. down the Don-Donets gateway. Russian censorship policy, that even seems dlstrustful of revealing too intimate 1s picture of the grow- ing crisis to Washington and London authorities, makes no bones of letting American and British w“ spondents paint lt in darkest colors.

O I O I U C

That Russian policy probably is traceable to hopes that the gloomy press versions sent to the United States and Britain will help develop popular demand into a compelling voice on both sides of the Atlantic for second-front operations. It recognizes that even in the depth of the greatest war crisis they have ever known. the Anglo-American democra- cies are dominated by the very force they are seeking to preserve as the cornerstone of the world of the future, public opinion.

O I O I O I

Russian fostering of second-‘ront agitation on the home fronts of her war allies is obvious. It may be born of desperation, and the hope that despite all the rlslls involved, Anglo-American troops can and w move in on Hitler's western flank. Yet it. also must he based on the Russian belief that on both sides of the Atlantic the voice of the people is sovereign; that it commands in war as in peace, and is resolved un- shakably and beyond count_lr_lg costs 0L risks on slmnshl the Axis.
