SOVIET FRONTIERS

EXPANDED BY PEACEFUL SOLUTION SPEECHES AT LENIN’S TOMB. RED ARMY MARCHES PAST. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, at Noon.) MOSCOW, November 7. The Commissar for War, M. Timoshenko, in a speech from Lenin’s Tomb, in the- presence of Mm. Stalin and Molotov, said the frontiers of Soviet Russia had expanded by a peaceful solution of external problems—the return of Bessarabia and Bukovina and the incorporation of Latvia, Esthonia and Lithuania. The world would have to acquiesce in that expansion. Russia must remember M. Stalin’s orders: To be constantly in a state of mobilisation and see they were not taken unawares. "Such an army could smash any enemy,” said the radio announcer, when units of the Red Army marched past Lenin’s tomb for eighty minutes.
