Soviet Will Not Give
Aid Against Military
Britain and France
Hiler is reported to have received another serious rebuff -he has received word from Moscow that the Soviet will, under no circumstances, lend him military aid against Britain and France. Hitler's special message to Stalin towards the end of last week in believed to have contained a request for material assistance, including Immediately the despatch to Germany of 2,000 Üghting planes.
In France the Soviet refusal is taken as an explanation of the Soviet's apparent lack of concern at the Anglo-French- Turkish Treaty,
This Treaty has now been supplemented, according to reports, by an Allied promise to supply Turkey with credits and gold amounting in all to over fifty million pounds sterling. The money will be used partly to balance the Turklah budget, partly to finance Anglo-Turkish trade and partly to purchase arms for Turkey.
There is considerable diplomatic activity while the actual fighting hangs fire. Hitler is continuing his discussions in Berlin with his district Nazi leaders and at the same time conferring with the Italian and Soviet Erivoys.

STALIN BRITISH TROOPS POUR IN
London, Oct. 23.
A correspondent with the British Expeditionary Force states that thou rands of British troops are still pour- ing into France through the base ports and the immense amounts of supplies and munitions becomes increasingly obvious as travel through the British area shows that the original British feld force has laid the ground work for a huge army. The dally frame- work is strengthened and at the same time enlarged.
As far as he can judge, the thesis of some military authorities that in the existing circumstances Britain is not required to send a large army, to France, has been entirely abandoned. "If conditions here are any criterion, I would scem that Britain is de- termined to send forces running into millions, if necessary."
A Long War Anticipated'
The scale of the ground work in Britain kewise confirms the state- inenis made in the Commons and by Government leaders that Britain in preparing for a long war and will send to France as many men av in the World War should the necessity arice.
