the weight of German armor OFF

for the city and lis port.
IN the east, four or five great

miles in a CONVERGING drive
on .Minsk, at the old Polish bor
der. Minsk lies on the groat rail
road that leads to Warsaw and
BERLIN.
Vitebsk was entered (45,000
Germans are said to have been
trapped there). The line of the
Dvlna river has been forced (the
valley of the Dvlna, traversed
both by the river and by another
great railroad, leads down to
Riga, on the Baltic).
The Russians have advanced as
much as 25 miles In three days at
some places. They call the Ger

be evacuating it.
IIMITZ sums up the battle of
Saipan. From June 10 to 23,
lie says, we downed 717 Jap
pianos, sunk 30 Jap ships and
damaged 51 more. The Jap ships
sunk or damaged Include SIX
CARRIERS-probably the EN
TIRE carrier force of the Jap
fleet that threatened us at Sai

June 18, wa shot down 402 Jap
planes a new world record in
one battle.
WE can pretty safely Jump to
the conclusion that the Jnp
have lost the SEA BATTLE OF
THE PACIFIC already. If so,
they have lost their Island empire
(not yet PHYEICALLY, but with
out sufficient air and sea power
they must lose it).
That leaves the , continent of

they are driving ahead with

Not everyone is buying G bonds, of course. There has
been a gratifying sale of Series E bonds, ailthough we still
have a long way to go before we reach our goal. But the

The trend of bond purchases also indicates the availabil

American War Aid
Praised by Stalin
MOSCOW, June 27 (AP)
Eric Johnston, president of the
United States Chamber of Com
merce, talked business with Premier-Marshal
Joseph Stalin In the
Kremlin last night and emerged
with the declaration that the con
versation had been "very success
ful." The interview was confined
largely to questions by Johnston
about future trade between the
United States and the soviet un
ion and direct answers by Stalin.
However, Stalin also gave his
guest a statement praising Amer
ican business, labor and agricul
ture lor their contribution to the
war. Stalin's statement follows:
"American business and Amer
ican labor have done a remark
able job of production lor the
war. American agriculture also
has performed unusually well.
American machines of war and
American food have contributed
to the successes of the red army
in Its victories.
