test Nazi M352 Seen As De- finite Si n Of Weakness On itler’s Part.

(By J. F. Sanderson, Canadian Press Staff Writer)

LONDON, Sept. 29—(CP Cabie)—The British Govern- ent's first response to the Geman-Soviet Russian “call ff the war" threat was to send planes of the Royal Air orce across the North Sea today to bomb Heligoland, ermany's naval fortress and submarine base.

A few hours after Germany and Russia published _eir demands for instant peace based on their self-deter- ined splitting up of Polish territory, British aviators were iming bombs at Nazi naval vessels-plain indication Bri- ain and France would not be deterred from their task of mashing Hitlerism. .

-The Ministry of Information’s communique on the aid said?-

“On Sept. 29 units of the Royal Air Force carried out .ttacks on ships of the German fleet in Heligoland Bight.

“In-spite of formidable anti-aircraft fire the attacks vere pressed home at low altitude. Some of our aircraft ave not yet returned."

Farewell Message From Lieutenant Governor lieBlois

HIS HONOUR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR DEBLOIS

TO THE PEOPLE OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND: My Dear Fellow Citizens: “

Five years and nine months seem a long time when they lie in the future. In January, 1934, when I entered upon my Tezm of Of- fice as Lieutenant Governor oi this Province, I felt that there was a long period before me in which to prove my loyalty to our Country and Empire and my desire to be of useful sezvice to the people oi this Province whom I have always regarded with admiration and affection. But, my friends, five and three-quarter years in retrospect is very shozt, and I cannot but feel that I have not used to the full- est extent the many opportunities for service which the Office has afford-ed me. Durirg this period there have been world-wide joys and sorrows, hopes and fears and, of these, this little Province by the sea has had her shaze.

In passing I would like to mention a few of the more important events in which 1 have been privileged to participate. In May, 1935, we celebrated the Silver Jubilee of our dearly loved Sovereign King George and Queen Mary. Two years later, in January, 1937, came the death of our beloved King. The whole world shared our grief in the passing of a Christian gentleman and an honoured King. I am sure we all are grateful that the gniclous Queen Mother Mary is still an active figure in the Royal life of England. The same year we wii- nessed the accession to the throne of the popular Prince of Wales, King Edward i-lie Eighth and, later his abdication. King Edward did not menace the Empire with personal ambitions, thoughts of dicta- torship or unpittziot-ic desires. yet he felt it wise to abdicate. and his abdication mad-e it clear to the world that. the British Empire is greater than any man or group of men and that there is something of more permanent value than personal magnetism or family ties. Surely in these strenuous days there are other countries in Europe who may be called uipon to learn a similar lesson at a biiier cost.

In May. 1937, we had the honour oi being present at the Coi- onaticn of King George the Sixth and our beloved Queen Elizabeth The niagnificciit pngeunitry and ceremony connect-ed with this notabl: i occasion was indeed a striking symbol of the historic stability of flu" British Empire. The gathering of representatives from the four co: n- i ers of the far flung Empire impressed upon me, as nothing else has ever done. the loyalty of the British people and the British Domin- ions whose subjects do not want or ask for greater freedom than that

British Press JD-escribe Hitler As “Junior Partner” To ' Stalin—Call For Emphatic “No” To Any Peace Qffer.

(By Witt Hancock, Associated Press Staff Writer)

MOSCOW, Sept. 29--(AP>—Soviet Russia concluded agreements today with Germany and neighboring Estonia by which she gains approximately half of Poland, an out- let for much of her raw materials and greater power in the northern Baltic.

In three agreements with Germany she joined the Nazis to try to compel Great Britain and France to make peaceon German terms, partitioned Poland with a warn-

LONDON, Sept. 30-—(Saturday)—CP CllilQ)—M0fnlng ncws- , pipers in London contended today that the Moscow Russian-Ger- man understanding makes Fuehrer Hitler a "junior partner" to the Soviet leader, Joseph Stalin.

The Daily Express (Independent) headlined its Moscow dispatch Stalin Uber Hitler" echoing the tone of the entire British press which called for an emphatic no to any peilce offer from Hitler based on the fait aecompli in Poland.

Most papers held the view the Russian understanding showed Hitler was weakenin and Seftou I‘ ‘ . commentator in the Daily Express said: "For a peace and friendship pact 1 think it is a cham- pion document of mutual distrust. . . It is just made for a new Russian-German war."

lng to the rest of the world to keep hands off, and pro- jected an economic program to furnish the Nazis with Russian raw materials.

A 10-year mutual assistance pact with Estonia made the republic, formerly Russian territory. practically a pro- tectorate of the Soviet Union which was given the right to establish naval and air bases and army garrisons on Es- tonian soil. This pact was accompanied by a trade agree- merit.

These historic moves disposed of, Soviet officials turned to talks with a Turkish delegation amid unoffi- cial reports that Russia would de- mand partial control of the Dar- danelies, vital gateway to the Black Sea now controlled by Turkey.

Foreign quarters termed as “pos- sibly premature" reports abroad that Russia had demanded return by Rumania cf Bessara/bia, which was Russian territory prior to the last war.
