To Split The Free World
PREVENTION OF FAR
EAST SETTLEMENT
London, June 20.
The Soviet circular note to interested powers regarding a Japanese peace treaty is seen by ob- servers here in London as a full-scale attempt to split the non-Communist powers in their attempt to achieve an united settlement in any part of the Far East.
It is also intended to place every political and legal stumbling block in the way of a non- Communist peace with Japan.
The note, Moscow's diplomatic retort to the re cent Anglo-American initiative to speed up the con. clusion of a Japanese peace treaty, caused no prise here,

Vietminh Forces Trapped
Salgon, June 20. French Union, forces, at- tacking 3,000 encircled Vietminh troops 30 miles southwest of Hanol, claim- ed in communique today to have pressed the Viet- minh into an area of 11 Aquare miles.
The French launched their attack-an "eccentric" encircling movement against the Vietminh base of Thanh Hol, on the Day River front, last night.
Today, they resumed their drive in drenching rain against stiffening resistance from the Vietminh,
The communique said that captured Viciminh soldiers had confirmed the importance of the Thanh Hot base, from which the rebels had been seriously threatening the French defence lines,
They said that severni Viet- minh battalions infiltrated in small groups through the French Iines luat week and had assem- bled in Thanh Hol to attack the French Hines in the rear.
Artillery, heavy equipment and reinforcements were rushed to Hanol from Saigon by air today, usually reliable French sources sald.
It is believed that the Com- mander-in-Chief, General Jean de Lattre de Tassigny, is mus- lering airlifted reinforcements in the Tonkin Delta ready for a heavy strike on the Day River front-Reuter.
