Britain’s Army In France Greater Than In Early Days Of Last War Hore - Belisha Tells Commons.

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

LONDON, Oct. 11—(CP Cable)—Great Britain has exceeded her pledge to France by sending to the western front 158,000 men and 25,000 tanks or other war machines in the first five weeks of hostilities. War Secretary Leslie

Hore-Belisha told the House of Commons

today as he

drew back the curtain for the first time on the work of

the army.

The War Secretary’s report came on the eve of Prime

Minister Chamberlain’s reply

to Adolf Hitleris peace

terms as outlined in the Berlin Reichstag last Friday. it

seemed beyond any doubt that the

British Government

would reject Hitlefs proposals as bluntly and definitely as did Premier Daladier in his broadcast from Paris

Tuesday night.

The Prime Minister's statement has been referred to the French and Dominion Governments and it was stated that full approval has been expressed by them.

Britain today signed u barter agreement

with Soviet Russia In

cover the exchange of British tin and rubber for Soviet timber. Al- though it was u commercial agreement it was bound to have political

repercussions, observer! felt, because trade away from Gennany. The agreement la not expected

of Britain's desire to divert neutral

toouthlto Cluldlan exported

lumber to Britain because it ooven only the normal trade between Britain and the Soviet Union. Ito significance was considered to lie in the fact that it was signed at l. time when Germany was making every effort to draw Russia into closer economic collaboration.

The ministry of supply. whlsni acted for the Government in the negotiations, declined to make pub- llc the quantities of tin, rubber and timber involved in the deal.
