PARIS HAS NOT BEEN SURPRISED by the Japan-Soviet armistice, says a French message, as it had been anti- cipated since the Japanese Premier's recent statement that Japan would henceforth make efforts to streng- then the new order in East Asia and was willing to im- prove relations with States wishing to co-operate, like Russia, France and Britain. Opinion is that the agreement is n, mere truce and yet is a possible starting point to widespread negotia-
view tions with a
to permanent settlement of differences.
However, this is not likely to Improve Japan's ralations towards the Democracies.
It is belleved Russia desires the Far East hostilities to end with 2 view to interesting herself in Europe. -Our Own Correspondent.

ing a balcony on which artillery can batter Sarrelouis and the whole Val- ley of the Sarre and the heights si- tuated on the other side of the river, on which the real Siegfried Line is built.
The enemy therefore has a major interest in stemming French progréss here before the French reach the rim of the plateau.-Reuter.
