These talks, however, are some what of an anti-climax to the "sensational diplomatic event" Moscow that the people of Madrid were told to expect following the Tripartite Agreement.

The correspondent thinks that prospects of an improvement in Russo-Japanese relations "serve to confirm that Stalin does not want o perilous adventure."

But this short and sturdy Cornishman is shy of a newspaper man-as I per- ceived yesterday when he told me about his adventures.

He was anxious too-anxious to get back to his bomber squadron in case should "miss a show to-night.”

Swede's Evidence

-Several Arrests

LONDON, Oct. 13 (Reuter).-A temporary but possibly precarious equilibrium has apparently been secured In Syria BR the result of the arrest or retirement of a number of high officials, writes “Reuter's" special correspondent in Cairo.

The majority are French officers and officials and include M. Erhart, Councillor of the Ministry of Finance, M. Guinat of the Economic Ministry, and M. Andre Grasset, a high Surete official.

These arrests, coupled with the severe control by the Vichy Govern- ment's representative, General Fougere, on all aspects of life, have apparently halted temporarily the Free French movement in Syrin, which, however, is extremely wide- sprend

Syria is already suffering from great shortage of petrol, oils and some foodstuffs.
