Re paragraph bi rrinting la VuZ on onion-skin paper for easier shipment to the factory is sn excellent idee, rloase push as strongly as possible all efforts to get more copios of La VOy. to ite intended public. Concoring LA VOZ, wc suggest that you raise at your next meeting with ranoho (orhu quostion of abandonin; tbe original XLETIM altogether and devotinc tho ontlre space and effort to LA VOZ

and its military audience.

Ke shall appreciate it if you can obtain this final change as soon as practicable.

It- It nightod idee toeries of articles on the Soviet Army in LA VOZ. ihe aliened prowess oi thc Ked forces and their (greatly exaggerated) victories in World War II aro known to be among the strongest arguments used by Communists for propaganda amonj military personnel. These series might emphasize, for instance, the following points*

World *sr II found tho Ked Army entirely unprepared, again for political reasons since Stalin wop convinced thst his psot with Hitler would lostuch longer time. Hany millions of Russians died because of this error, thousands of Soviet planes were destroyed on the ground, hundreds of thousands of officers and men captured during the first few weeks and the Sod Arny had to abandon tho most inportuit parts of European Russia,ll thc way to the Volga and tbe Caucasus. Only verycale sssistance by the Western Allies, involving thousands oi planes, tens of thousands of tonke> ciillions oi tons of other military material as well a* foou from tlioaved the Soviet ^nion from certain defeat.
