German eastern frontier, Molotov said. i

“In reply to this," he declared, “I stated on behalf of the Soviet Government that, until the very last moment, the German Gov- ernment had not presented any ciaims to the Soviet Government. that Germany attacked the U. S. S. R. despite the peaceable posi- tion of the Soviet Union, and that for this reason Fascist Germany is the aggressor. _

“On instruction of the Govem- e merit of the Soviet Union I also state that at no point had our troops or our air force committed a violation of the frontier and therefore the statement made this morning by the Romanian radio to the effect that Soviet Aircraft allegedly had fired on Rumanian nirdrom-es is a sheer lie and pro- vocation.

"Likewise a lie and provocation is the whole declaration made to- day by Hitler, who is trying be- latedly to concoct accusations charging the soviet Union with failure to observe the Soviet-Ger- man pact.

“Now that the attack on the Soviet Union has already been committed, the Soviet Government has ordered our troops to repu'se this predatory assault and to drive German troops from the territory of our country."

War Forced On Russia

Molotov said the war was forced on Russia “not by German work- ers and peasants and intellectuals, whose sufferings we well under- stand, but by the clique of blood- thirsty Fascist rulers of Germany who have enslaved Frenchmen, Czechs, Poles. Serblans, Norway. Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Greece and other nations."

"The Government of the Soviet Union." he said. "expresses its un- shakeabe confidence that our val- iant army and navy and brave falcons of the Soviet air force will acquit themselves with honor in performing their duty to the Fatherland. to the Soviet people, and will inflict a crushing bow upon the aggressor.

"This is not the first time that our people have had to deal with an attack of an arrogant foe. At the time of Napoleon's invasion of Russia our people's reply was to war for the Fatherland and Na- poleon suffered defeat and met his doom.

"It will be the same with Hitler. who in his arrogance has pro- claimed s. new crusade against our country. The Red army and our whole people will again wage vic- torious war for the Fatherland. for our country, for honor, for liberty."

Molotov closed with an appeal to the piople to "rally more closely

cause. The enemy shall be defeat- ed. Victcry will be ours."

Rules for chemical and air raid defence were broadcast.

Blackout Ordered

A complete blackout. was ordered for the capital and Moscow prov- ince. Air raid shelters and shelters against chemical attack were ord- ered. in complete readiness.

The radio alternately carried ord- ers and speeches to the public and played patriotic marches. Extra guards were posted outside subway stations in Mcscow. Crowds throng- ed the streets throughout the day-

Dear Mother and Dadz-I sup- pose you have already heard qu.t.e a. bit about our eicpenences in crsss- i118

At St. J:hn's, Newfoundland, I met a Dr. Harvey Smith, father oi a boy I knew at St. E.X., Antigon- ish. I called at the house to say hello, they told me he had been in England icr over a year. was evac- uated from Dunkirk. His mother gave me a letter for him. I lost it and everything else l had; all my equipment and even my tunic.

We were getting along fine until we got near this side. Just a. day or two from making it. I had a fee.- ing that something was going to happen and was s:rt of uneasy. Slept in the afternoon and got up about 10.20. Had my trousers and boots on. At ten twenty-five I was in the saloon and a minute later there was a terrific crash and the lights went cut. 1 did not have my life belt on. '11:»: expksicn knocked me down and stunned me. but I knew we had been torpedoed. I got up as quickly as I could and start- ed for the deck. We were down be- low. I_h3d abcut 25 yards to go. Ii. was pit:h dark and the water was rising quickly. I passed right by my room but did not dare to go in for my llfebelt or tunic. When I got to the bcttom of the stairs the water was up to my knees. Got On deck and another torpedo hit us on the other side die=troying some 0f the lifeboats or breaking theropes and rendering them uzeless for l:~\v- erlng. I started for my boat but there were about 40 rzuhd it, so I started back for the one in the rear and was the second last urt- ting into it. We cut tile apes and by this time the life boat did not need to be ion-rd, The boat it- self had gone down far enough to maks the life boat level with the water. We got out about 20 feet and our boat was filling with water when another torpedo hit the ship. There was a terrific explosion as everything blew up. Srme of the debris went up a 100 feet in the air and showered down on us, along with. tons of water. Our boat was now full of water and 3o of us- in it. We ut the plug in bottom and got er bailed out wit a. bucket and a mess tin,- got the oars out and started rc-wing to keep the boat headed into the waves so we would not again fill with water. The cries and screams of those left be- hind was terrible. After the last explosion I fished a lifebelt out of the water and put it on. We were now adrift in the North Atlantic in an open boat. We were much over- crowded and could scarcely move. Spent a night I would mt want to go through. again. At daylight we imeard a plane in the distance and we felt very helpless. not knowing whether it was British or enemy. It proved to be British and we were so glad. It circled" low around each or our boats, letting us know that we would not be there much longer. Some hour; after two British de- stroyers came racing to our res- cue and were we glad, when we saw them in the distance. They had been going at tcp steed all night. we had got in an 5.0.5. before the boat. went down. Our ship went down, very fast less than three minutes from the time we were hit. Lucky to be here. I forgot to mention that after we had pulled away from the ship we very nearly came in contact with a floating mine. Many of my friends are gini‘. Only one or our unit got it, slegt in my rcom, was on deck when s, ip blew up. Last I saw of him. We landed in Northern Ireland. Never sa/w such beautiful country, everything is so green. Even mole beautiful than the Island at its best. Got thawed out there. I never saw more fri'nd- ly and sympathetic people any- where. ‘Ilie Dean of Londondel-ry came to see us and knowing that.

tack. There were hotly-fought air battles over East Prussia. Germ-

anys most easterly province. The high command claimed that Germ-

any's veteran air fighters shot- down l8 Soviet bombers in the foienoon. The radio brought reports of an

in treaty ‘but the Soviets §§§f°§§,°1a39, just before Germany invaded Poland and thus brought on the war with Britain. Justification for today's action was offered by Hitler, in his pro- elamation to the German P9019191 and by Ribbentrop in a note to the Russlan Government in which they argued that Russia had vio- luted the non-aggression agree-

ment. ,,

Against Russia's "aggressions. including alleged cases of military violation of German borders. l-Iit- ler and Ribbentrop said the Reich was finally obliged to act.

‘The German leaders said Ger- many had viewed with great re- luctanee Russian movement a8- ainst the Baltic States, Finland _and against Rumania.

In the north the Finns. smart- ing from defeat in a well-fought war against Russia, were represent- ed here as eager for vengeance and recovery of war-lost territory. Rumaniak grudge was just as bit- ter, as the case is represented here.

See Russia Vulnerable

Thus, with Russia subject to at- tack in the north by Finland. in the central sector by the main German forces. and in the south by Romania-both of’ the allies having German troop support-it appeared to German strategists that Russia. was at many points vulnerable to pincer actions.

The new hase of the war was proclaimed y the Germans with customary drarnatics.
