“AHEAD OF PEACE,
Unity ‘At All Costs’. Demanded by New Foreign Wiis; Negotiations With U. S.
i
To Be Resumed.
. 20 (U. P.)
Togo said in a Rational broadcast today that Japan’s diplo-|the

from a greater unity of foreign and mili-
tary policies which will i insure “at all costs.”
the defense of Japanese honor
Togo’s state ent came as authorized Japanese informations said new negotiations will be launched, probably within a week, to determine whether a basis for better relations is possible with the United States.
“The ultimate goal of Japanese diplomacy,” said Togo, “needless ta say, lies in maintaining and promoting world peace but as far as the existence of our empire and honor are
concerned we are grimly determined
we must defend our country to the death and strive to achieve our historical mission.” . ; “Therefore,” Tojo said, “Japan’s diplomacy will develop along the lines of higher unity between foreign and military policies while also rendering a great contribution to international peace.
Sees ‘Boundless Destiny’
“It will be solidly based on justice and will face the realities gravely. Thus, it will attain unhampered development of Japan's destiny.” Togo said all nations must undergo great difficulties as they progress and that “when our country can overcome the present ordeals Japan’s destiny will be boundless.” The new Government's plan for
more negotiations with the United States was disclosed as two Japanese liners sailed to repatriate Japanese citizens in the United States, and to take with them to the United States citizens long resi_dént in Japan, and as Gen. Eiki Tojo, the new Premier, said in a speech to officers stationed at the War Office: “Japan 1s now at the point where it. must rise or fall and therefore the entire Japanese nation must be strongly consolidated.”
1 ‘I Dislike Talking’
Gen. Tojo, speaking in his joint capacity of Premier and War Minister, sald it was absolutely necessary to consolidate the nation’s total power and to push its policy resolutely in order to “eradicate causes of Chinese-Japanese hostilities and place Japan in perfect security for 10,000 years again ‘the encircling front of hostile nations against Japan.” He warned that y officers and men must be pect in their conduct and strongly united. Then Gen. Tojo, who is also Home Minister, went to the Home Ministry, where after giving instructions to officials, said t0 newsar correspondents: “I dislike talking and therefore I will make my policies clear by enforcing them.”
Navy Asks Co-operation /
"Previously the new Navy Minister, Admiral Shigetaro Shimada, said in a radio speech that the Navy was prepared to meet any change in the situation which confronted Japan|. and that so long as the Army and Navy co-operated closely, and the Governinent and the people were willing to surmount all difficulties, Japan would be in a position of perfect securtiy. (The Army and Navy do not always co-operate closely, The Navy is traditionally more conservative and especially has opposed, to date, any move that might involve Japan in war with the United States.)

MOSCOW GIVEN LONDON RAIDS’
Nazis Say Bombings Are As Heavy as British Capital’s Worst.
BERLIN, Oct. 20 (U.P.).—Nazis reported today that the Luftwaffe had launched a blitz bombing of-
fensive against Moscow on a scale comparable to the neaviest air attacks on London and that large German mechanized forces were bolstering the drive to -encircle the Soviet capital. The High Command reported only that operations continued’ successfully on the Moscow front and that Axis troops were driving “irresistibly” into the Donets industrial basin in the south. But military circles and news dispatches said that the battle for the Soviet capital raged with unremitting fury and that German pressure, both in the air and on the land, was being increased steadily by reinforcements thrown into the attack. Predict Encirclement
In the air, the Luftwaffe has been “steadily increasing” the severity of raids on the Moscow area, according to Nazi sources, and some of the most recent air attacks have been almost as heavy as the greatest attacks on London during the “blitz” of September, 1940. The air raids were described as highly destructive, with “the German airmen’ blasting especially at railroads and“other communications centers. Informants promised encirclement of Moscow “within a, logical time” and intimated strongly that instead of essaying a frontal assault the German command would proceed as it did on the Leningrad front, cut it off from all sides and then reduce it by a siege that might last for weeks.
Frost Helps Germans
Special dispatches said the weather on the Moscow front favored the Germans. It was frosty, dispatches said, and facilitated the operations of tank units and the taking off and landing of bomber planes. A special High Command communique had said yesterday that the Germans had taken the important Sea of Azov city of Taganrog, only 40 miles. west of Rostov, on the oil pipe .line from Baku, ang called the gateway to the Caucasus.
Rumania Annexes Odessa
A Bucharest dispatch said that Gen, Ion Antonescu, the Rumanian Premier and commander in chief, had incorporated Odessa and an unspecified area east of the Dniester River into “Rumanian Civil Administration” and had made Odessa “capital” of “Trans-Dniester Territory.” One spokesman said the entire Russian southern army of Marshal Semyon ‘Budenny had now been ‘deSiroyed; another said it was still
EE eTiion said the BryanskVyazma area west of Moscow had now been completely mopped up. The High Command yesterday had asserted that a total of 657,948 prisoners had been taken in this area and 1241 tanks and 5396 field guns captured or destroyed.
RAINBOW BRIDGE TO OPEN

spring of 1938, will be opened or

Army Front Line.
Red Army was reported counterattackingsat many points along a 350-mile front defending. Moscow today and. apparently spearhead offensive in the about 60 miles from the capital. The offensive “is literal sense that it is not making as much geographic progress,” according “to military sources, there seems to be no evidence thal the weight of the attack has bas creased.” .
Orel, according to the British. No Big Break-Through
Fighting appeared to be particularly intense in the Mozhaisk and Kalinin sectors, but the exact trend of battle was uncertain except that there was as yet no sign that Germans had broken through on a big scale. Premier Josef Stalin had mobilized the entire population of Moscow for a “last drop of blood” defense after decreeing a state of siege. Russian counter-attacks were reported in both the in areas, 100 miles north of Moscow, and the Bryansk direction south of the Moz-kaisk-Maloyaroslavets sector,
7 Attacks in a Day
The newspaper Pravda said the Germans had thrown into the battle near Mozhaisk a division of picked SS Storm Troops and a tank brigade, drawn from the Leningrad front, and a new motorized infantry division, Moscow radio said that the Russ sians had repelled German tankinfantry attacks seven times in one day in one sector,
were marching out of the city to fight alongside - brothers and husbands at the front. Groups: of non-essential factory workers had already gone to the front, led by crack Stakhanovite shock-workers, to back up the Red Army and the Home Guard,
Call for Defense
Moscow - radio, in a stream of broadcasts, urged Russians to fight the Germans for every mile of territory and to defend the city, if the ordeal came, from street to street ang house to house with their backs e Kremlin and the tomb of Lenin, “Tanks and planes from Great Britain and the United States are coming up to the -front,” it said. “Within two days the suburbs have undergone’ a complete transformation. New lines of defense are bheing built along the roads. Columns of trucks with ammunitions, arms and motorized infantry are moving in endless streams along the highways to the front. “Tens of thousands of workers in Moscow are building fortified positions for the Red Army. People of all professiops have taken spades— teachers, dents, workers. Work which normally would take months has been completed in a few days.
‘Full of Life® .
“The wide streets are still full of life as dawn breaks over Moscow and the stars slowly die, but for the fourth day life is different. The city. has taken to armis. It is true that thyre are whispers among us but they are harmless.” “New battalions of Home Guards, made up of workers, artisans, writers and clerks, marched through the streets to the front during the night with new syb-machine and new helmets at their belts.” “The Germans are already un‘comfortable because of the approach of winter, They are looting everything, even ' tattered trousers, patched overcoats and fur coats. In one village the Nazis even took the woolen stockings, skirts and blouses of the women.” :

The Germans are maintaining strong panzer attacks at various points along the line in an endeavor to find'a weak spot through which massed forces can be thrown at the immediate defenses of the city itself." The Moscow radio indicated that the enemy had achieved some success when it announced today that “in the past day and night the Germans, in spite of their losses, had increased their pressure, which has complicated the defense of Moscow.”
