MOSCOW CONTACTS
MILITARY MISSIONS SATISFACTORY PROGRESS SOVIET SEEKS CLARITY POSSIBLE MOVES IN WAR (Elec. To!. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. Aug. 16, 12 noon). MOSCOW, Aug. 15. It is understood that the staff talks between the Soviet, British and French military representatives are progressing in a good atmosphere. It is believed that the Soviet desires to extend the scope of the talks to Anglo-French action in the event of a Russo-Japanese clash and also quickly to conclude both political and military negotiations.
■ The Moscow press is refraining from speculation on the staff talks, but the Pravda in an editorial on the subject of “just and unjust wars,” says that in order to wage a defensive war against Fascism it would be necessary' to carry out “a violent offensive for the annihilation of the enemy in his own territory, thus helping the workers of all lands to fight against Fascist oppression.”
