CAGY SOVIETS SEEK ALLIES FOR POSSIBLE WAR WITH NAZIS,JAPAN, SAYS HONT Russians Sustain Sanctions Against Italy in Effort to Win Over Other Powers, Correspondent Reports From Moscow. F*w writer' know the background nf Soviet Kustli better than does Frazier Hunt, famed correspondent who sends you (below) the first of a aerlea of uneensored cable dispatches from Moscow. BY FRAZIER HUNT (Copyright, 1835. NEA Service. Inc.) MOSCOW (by cable from London), Dec. 19. Only under great misgivings does Soviet Russia sustain sanctions against Italy. She does so for two reasons: First, in order to gain the good will of England in a possible future war against Japan and Germany; and second, in the hope that the League of

Nations will check Hitler’s ambitions in Central Europe and against Russia. Yet, despite the uncertainty of the Italian situation and the double threat of Germany and Japan, ihe Soviet Union feels safer now than at any time in the last three years. She believes she now has won allies by virtue of common necessity —England and America, to aid her ■with her Japanese problem in the Far East; and France and the Little Entente to support her in checking the German advance. Conscious of Success Soviet Russia hates the idea of ■war but docs not fear the ultimate conquest of Soviet territory. In the last six months she even has enjoyed an awakening of her old hopes of a European and world revolution. She feels that Europe generally is on the downgrade while she herself is over-conscious of her own success in building up a great country and a great army. Soviet Russians see the next world war as a slaughter of the innocent. Such a war, they feel, will be so destructive and so demoralizing that an internal breakdown will be the fate of the losers and possibly even the fate of the victors, bringing on widespread Communistic revolutions. Much as Soviet Russia wants peace, she does not view the prospects of the spread of red revolution with anything but satisfaction. It is the compelling motive in the background of all her diplomatic moves; in the foreground is a determination to build a strong Socialist state. Expects War by 19.18 Most Soviet leaders are certain that not later than 1938—possibly even earlier—there will be a general European war. They believe it will be started by Germany in western Europe and that the rest of the powers will be drawn in. They are confident that Japan will join Germany, attacking the Soviet’s eastern Siberia—more than 5090 miles from her western front. It is this fear that has forced her to accept England and the

League’s wishes in regard to Italian sanctions, which constitute virtually a silent war against Italy. She really would like to find a way out. For 11 years, since Italy recognized the Soviet Union, the two countries have been on good terms. On the part of each there is purely realistic acceptance of the international situation. There are ancient imperial rivalries between Russia and England. But Kremlin leaders are toughminded, cynical In their foreign dealings and are playing up to England now. England likewise plays a hard, realistic game. Each thinks to use the other. Germany New Big Bogey At present England is .said to be secretly negotiating for a possible loan to the Soviets of 200,000.000 pounds in 15 to 20 years’ time. The money would be spent in England. This would tie the countries closer together. In the past year Soviet Russia’s particular war nightmare was shifted from the Japanese soldier to a bucket-helmeted figure in a field gray uniform. So open have zeen Hitler’s statements of Germany’s ultimate ambitions for Soviet territory, that Russia sees the necessity of getting help to check the menace. It is this fear which caused her to sign the Soviet-French treaty for mutual assistance last May—which has not yet been ratified by the French Chamber of Deputies. Certainly there is little love lost between Russia and France. It is a treaty necessitated by a mutual fear for a rearmed Germany. But it is the best the Soviet Union can do now. She will accept almost any terms and suffer considerable humiliation to gain a few years more of peace. She is ready now for an emergency war of defense, but from three to five years will be required to complete her war Industries. Playing for Time Today Russia fears aggression by Germany more than aggression by Japan, but considers peace in the Far East to be in constant danger. If Japan insists on penetrating

Mast pictures you've seen of Mrs. Harrison Williams are virtually fashion plates, for the New York socialite is called ‘‘the bestdressed woman in the world.” But here is an informal closeup of the be-jeweled Mrs. Williams as she was seen at a New York club opening the other night. Not long ago she set the vogue for vivid nails, but see them now—in natural shade. outer Mongolia there would be grave possibilities of war, because the Soviets consider this land of nomads bordering the region of Lake Baikal to be under her protection. She is less inclined to take insults from Japan because she feels that Japan's latest action in splitting China pulls England and America to the Soviet side. Nevertheless she is certain that Japan would attack her if Germany gets into war with her. These cynical Russians know that France and England play a waiting game, balancing the Soviets against Germany. Both France and England want time in which to build up their air fleets and arrange new European alignments and will stall for a year or two. Meanwhile, small European nations become the cockpit. Here, in new countries made by the Versailles treaty from the old AustroHungarian empire, immediate war or peace is being decided—or rather, not decided—by problems of restless minorities, nationalistic fears and hates, economic pressures and financial breakdowns. Russia, Germany, France and Poland all have favorites on whom they stake their own future hopes for peace.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

DELAY IN CITY POLICE EXAMS PUZZLESMANY 17 Vacancies on Force, But Board Hasn’t Filled Any in Year. BY GEORGE H. DENNY Candidates for city police jobs who have been standing around for months waiting for examinations will just have to wait awhile longer, according to reports. Meanwhile, there are 17 vacancies on the force and the Safety Board hasn’t filled a vacancy for a year. The rules say that when there are five vacancies the Safety Board shall name 30 candidates to take the tests for the places. Reasons for the delay are not quite clear but there is a suspicion in many minds that the jam is due to the desire of Chief Morrissey to gain the board’s approval for the set of police regulations he has been working on several months. He wants the candidates for his force to be examined under these rules, it is said. Book Status Is Question Chief Morrissey is said not to have finished his rule book but reporters have been told the book is finished and the Chief has been trying to get the regulations approved. Reporters are watching this situation with great interest because they also have been informed the rules would forbid policemen to divulge information to reporters or even to talk to reporters. The rumors also hint that reporters will not be allowed at the scene of a crime under the chief's proposed rules. Reporters Are Uneasy These rumors make the reporters a little uneasy because they like to talk to policemen. Tn many cases they really like the policemen and it would be a very dreary life for police reporters if they had to talk to themselves or to each other. In any case, it is a good thing for reporters to talk to policemen if they want to keep on being reporters. Because otherwise they might not be able to find out what was going on in the way of crime and such and their bosses wouldn’t like it. Maybe the Chief soon will get his rules passed by the Safety Board. But it probably will be pretty far into 1936 before examinations will begin. And meanwhile some of the boys around the City Hall are worried because they think the opposition will say they delayed examination on purpose to hold them just before the primary next May.
