' r When the history of the cam paigns in Russia is written X pre dict it will show that the chief contribution made by' thelend- lease to Russian success has been the : American army truck, with its junior, the ubiquitous jeep. I do not have the most recent statis tics as to equipment furnished, but t last reports our principal items of equipment : export to Russia were trucks and jeeps ' How have they contributed so much ; to Russian ; success? : They have provided means of transpor tation which has enabled the Rus sian army to deliver the trip hammer blows against the Ger mans. This has prevented . the Germans from reforming lines for ! effective defense. ' . H i Some weeks ago I read an ar ticle descriptive of the Russian methods of attack.

Russian German partition ' of - Poland in September, 1939. - The Moscow i radio declaration is the first official Soviet pro nouncement on the border flues- ; tion since the Red army poured cross the old frontier in pursuit pf the Germans last week, and is one of the few public statements of any sort to emanate from Rus sia on the matter. j It accused the Polish govern : snent in London of errors in its January 5 statement of i Soviet Polish relations, "including an er roneous affirmation" . concerning the Soviet-Polosh frontier. : t The struggle of our army and the operations of ; our allies ' are leading to the collapse of the Ger man war -machine and liberation - of I Poland and other occupied countries, the broadcast said.
