"O really effective system of collective security against further aggres slon by the Fascist and Nazl States can be organised without the participation of the U.S.S.R.

tion are by the Foreign Secretary himself, in confiden- tial official minutes.
But not, let us add quickly for fear of Official Secrets Acts, in minutes-written by Lord Halifax.
In minutes written just over thirty years ago by Sir Edward Grey, and quoted in an old file of the "Telegraph."
There is a certain grim closeness in the comparison.
Then, as
now, England zind France were linked in
a close entente: France and Russin were silies. England and Russin, not without much difficulty and mutual suspicion, were drawing together.
And then, as now, the operative factor was common drend of the domination of Europe by a central "axis" healed by a. restless and ambitious Germany,
The "axis" of those days was not called "axis." It was called the Triple Ententu. The new "axis" has also become an alliance,
The old one united Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy. When matters came to the test of war, Italy deserted her axis-allies.
Thirty years ago the Triple En- tente ran right down the centre of Europe, na the axis-group does now. Then it was Germany, Aus- tria-Hungary, Italy. To-day it is Germany. (including Austria), Hun- gary and Italy,
But it is worth while remember- ing that geographically the axis of to-day is even after the rape of Czecho-Slovakla - still decidedly smaller than the Triple Entente area of thirty years ago.
Alsace-Lorraine, n third of Po- land, large portions of Rumania and Yugo-Slavia, wore all ther internal parts of Germany. and Austria-Hungary. They were lost to the Central Powers as the result of an incident that occurred in a little town in Servia called Sorajevo, exactly a quarter-of-a-century ago this week. The only axis-territory of to-day outside thu Trinla Entente of then is Albania...
Of course, Spain is a potential and possible ally of the axis in event of trouble. On the other hand, Tur- key, Bulgarls, and Rumania all seemed potential partners of the Triplo Entente thon.
On balance, the geographlen), economic, milltary and naval strength of the Triple Entente was, by comparison with the Triplo Alliance, considerably greater than. that of the adla to-day.
a vital place in "persuading the aggressors against further adventures.
This is recognised by the aggres- sor countries as the following ex- correspondent of the "Observer" tract from a report of the Berlin indicates
"Nazi Germany is watching with almost unbearable impatience the efforts of the British Government to arrange some kind of military agreement with Soviet Russia.
Reports from London that the British Government is proposing to Soviet Russia the conclusion of an Anglo-Russian Air Pact are received here with the usual fury and indignation.
"Threat of war on two fronts is the nightmare of all German mill- tary strategists." ("Observer," April 16, 1939.)
VOROSHILOV, People's Commissar for Defence. In his speech at the Communist Party Conference in March, 1939, gave a brief descrip- tion of recent changes in the Red Army, and said:-
Der
Taking the Soviet Army at the time of the Seventeenth Party Congress (1934) as 100. by 1039, it appears as 203, L., there has beza a numerical increase by 103 cent., or the army as a whole has Comewhat more than doubled."
Turning to the question of fire power of the rifle corps, Voroshilov declared:-
"One valley fired by all the artillery of a rifle corps of France (three divisions strong) is equal to 6,373 Elg; of ripe corps of Ger- many, of similar composition, 6,078 kig. One volley fired by the artil- Jery of a Red Army rifle corps la equal to 7,130 kig."
Talking of the air-force Varo- abiloy nid:-
"I can report that not infre- quently one can now find in our military airdromes not only pur- suit planes but also bombers with a speed far in excess of 600 km, an hour and a celling exceeding 14,000 to 10,000 metros."
Voroshtlov stressed the fact that- all sections of the Soviet Army resolve not only a thorough mill- tary training, but equally thorough political and cultural education.

M. M. KAGANOVICH, People's Commissar for the Aviation Industry, speaking at the samo conference, stressed the great increase in the output of all branches
of the defence Industries..
During the Becònd Five-Year Plan, ie, 1033-1937, the output of those industries had increased by

Colonel Martel (a member of the
British Military Mission), who at- tended the Soviet Army man- œuvres at Kisy in 1930, declared:-
The fact that only very few tanks were compelled to fall out on account of mechanical defects, and that there were no air accidents and no forced landings, inspires us with respect for your tanks and aeroplanes," ("Pravda," September 14, 1936)

Captain Maydeo. former Japanese Military Attach In Moscow, declared In December, 1034
in an Interview: "The incchanisation of the Russian Army amazes all the military at- tachés who attend the parades. Their achievements in aviation are especially remarkable,"
HERR HITLER, in the course of an interview with Lord Londonderry ("Curselves and Germany,' by Lord Londonderry), February 4, 1936, averred:
"Russia is kideed better situated than any other country to base her defence on the aeroplane.
"Apart from Leningrad, Kiev, and Odessa, there are no Russian towns of any size in the west with- in reach of hostile acroplanes."
He is tremendously impressed with the Russian aeroplane in- dustry. He writes (p. 140):
"One must expect that if the curve of Increasing production in the Soylet industry for military neroplanes continues steadily the output figure will rise in 1910 to about 12,000, perhaps even 10 15,000, aeroplanes."
"Nauticus," an annual Issued by the German Admiralty, comments as follows on the Soviet Navy: "It is necessary to recognise the incon- testable fact that the USSR. pos- sesses the most powerful sub- marine 3eet in the world."
Herr Lehmana, writing in the "Deutsche Wehr" (the German

PARIS.
IF you visit Paris on Home leave you'll notice a dif ference in the way the French receive you. However pleasant they may have been to you in the past they will be much more 90 this time.
In Paris, in the French seaside resorts and In the amullest villages you will find yourself treated with greater consideration, greater respeċi. It is because they are so delighted about conscription in England.
At the Paris cinema
went to inst hight, when they put on a news reel of the Sandhurst cadets swinging along, there was a tremendous out- burst of cheering. British
military parades did not get these cheers in pre-conscription days.
Never, has, the English influence-in Parls been stronger. Even the world-famous Grand Guignol Thea- tre, home of horror plays, is now be ing run by on Englishwoman. She is beautiful, blonde-haired Miss Eva. Berkson, a Londoner. After a suc- cessful stage career in Paris Miss Berkson noticed that the Guignol was up for sale.

The biggest hit of all the Mont- martre cabaret turns this season is not a bevy of scantily clad dancing girls, not a strip-tease act, but a good old-fashioned English Punch and
Judy show. It Is in the new pro- grunme just put on at the Bal. Tabarin. The laugh that goes up when Punch hammers Judy. is the loudest of the night.
English Films, Too
ALL the new night clubs spring- 4- Ing up around the Champs- Elysees and the Rue Pigalle are be- ing given English names, and Eng- lish money flows into the pockets of the Paris night club kings faster that. ever this season.
A great number of English Alms are now on show in Paris. This is surprising In view of the fact that French lms are how among the finest in the world. Out of 20 cine- mas along the Champs-Elysees I' counted the other. day 18 that are showing English films,
They are all films in which the characters speak to each other in English, with French sub-titles. That. doesn't seem to worry the French .cinemogoer,
One of the comparatively few French flima on in Paris just now has the appropriate title of "Entente Cordiale." In It Gaby Morlay playe Queen Victoria and Victor Francen is King Edward VII. Its history la. often at fault, but the name is en- ough to ensure that any chema that puls it on in Paris is packed every night,
Along the boulevards now you see. big posters outside some of the shops saying: "Absolutely no goods import ed from Germany or Italy on sale here In the Boulevard, St. Ger- main they have oven put up one of these signa outside a bookshop.
