By Glenn Babb, Associated Press War Analyst

The major short circuit tn the Untied Nations‘ war- effort against Japan persists; the sarnc is true of the Axis war on Russia, Tokyo and Moscow have given renewed evidence of their present determination to rcmtain at peace by renewal of their perennially troublesome fisheries pao .

Again Hitler's moat powerful and successful ally has given notice that she ls having no part of his crusade against Bolshevlsrn although six years ago it was the Japanese military clique, now in control of imperial Loud, was the gldllit "llgrlt at" the aptl-comlutern treaty which led

The fisheries pact fixes the terms on which Japan le permitted to lend Igor fishermen into the far eastern territorial waters of the Soviet sunion, a. right. granted by the 1905 treaty of Portsmouth.

The indications are that the Russians held the whlphand ln the par-lays which led to this accord initialed in Kuibshev Thursday. For the second y or in succession the Japanese iriadtho p?" an extra fee. Tlhe

Members Miss Chance To Iiear Delegations

Failure to give prior notice of de- legations appearing informally be- fore the Legislature was strongly criticised in the House yesterday by Hon. Dr. W.J.P MacMlllan. lead- e'r of the Op sitlon. Dr. MocMi lair voiced his com- plaint when the l-iouse met at 11 a. m. “Before going into the orders 0f the day." he said, “I may say that I do not like this plan that ‘has de- veloped here lately of culling the members of the House to an emer- gency session. I think some other arrangement should be made to meet those delegations. They should have an appointment. I missed a delegation yesterday I would like to have heard; that ls the farmers ol the Province. I think the members should be given prior notice to hear these delegations, This morning. when another delegation started to deliver their message, there was hnrdlv a quorum of the House. I would sirguest that in future We be lven :1 chance to hear these de- cautions."

No reply Was offered to the 0D-

ltew rnlll ry commitments a; this time, when each is engaged in a fight for life, at the Jflfllllcse appear 4o be even .m0re anxious than the Soviets to avoid war.

Duo reason undoubtedly i; the lear- of air assault. The Japanese Command probably feels that on the east, south and west it has pushed the United Nations beyond the range of effective and intensive sir at- tpok; it llllllfis at least that it can hold the ever-growing American air power M70111! that protective cordon. ‘

But in the north there is no such security. There are bases around Vladivostok from which bombers could reach Tokyo in less than three hours, Osaka in two. War with the Soviet Union might mean that these would be placed at disposal of the United States. lt might not, Russia's penchant for playing a. lone hand being what it is, but in any case the Bed Army also has an air force of terrible striking power.

For the United Nations it undoubtedly l; an advantage to have Russia free to concentrate on Germany at this juncture, probably out- weighing the immediate gains which would come from ‘a Russian-Jap- anese war. But it has lts obverse side.

As long as the wily Generals and Admirals who direct Japanese policy are content to leave well enough alone on the Siberian frontier, Allied hopes of obtaining Russian bases from which to blast the cities and war industries of our oriental enemy are dim.
