Germans claim , Counter-drive ls blocked

BERLIN Aug. zs-(srr-cerm-l ans claimed tonight their troops on the central front had blocked a three.day Russian counter-at- tack in which Red army waves charged repeatedly and, they said, without regard to losses.

Reports of this battle were giv- en in dispatches from the front, the high command communique saying only that "operations in the east are making good progress everywhere."

German interest centred momen- tarily on the British-Russian entry into Iran.

The press charged that the Un- lied states had given the occupation material and moral support. But Nazis refused to indicate whether there would be some German counter-measure ‘to offset the British-Russian initiative. Turk- ish reaction was watched closely.

Strong British Groups arrive d1 Singapore .

Strong Royal Air Force groups, Indian infantry and artillery units and a SOS-man medical detach- ment ianded today to reinforce Britain's already formidable Ma. iayan bases, emphasizing a declar- ation of Prime Minister Churchill that Japanese aggression "has got to stop." The largest single body of Roy- Air Force personnel to arrive in more than a year poured down the gangplanks of this equatorial

Empire's expanding string c! bomber and fighter bases in the Far East.

Indian troops were landed ' at strategic points upon the narrow Malayan peninsula betwee 1 the Bay of Bengal and the Gulf of Siam to the north. the land bridge be- tween Singapore and the Asiatic continent which Japan regards as in her sphere of influence.

The debarkation scenes, remin- iscent of the landing of an Aus- tralian expeditionary force many thousand strong last Feb. 18 and later arrival of other Australian and R.

Interpreting The War

(Continued from 1 Q

by a, European aggressor. . t -

The pulling and tugging to which Britain's non-belligerent ail/y has been subjected since the Balkans were overrun this spring has been obscured by the drama of the fglxting fronts, but both London and Berlin have been nonetheless keenly alert to the stakes.

Germany forced on the Turks a 10-year ‘non-aggression com- pact. Signed just four days be- fore the invasion of Russia, it was hailed in Berlin as a tri- umph equivslent to s military victory.

There followed a flood of ru- mors of secret clauses binding Turkey to benevolent neutralzty toward the axis. Subsequently there were reports of pressure for concessions that would make the country in effect a Nazi puppet slate.

s o e

Franz Von Papen, the Nazi ambassador, was understood a month ago to be sounding out the possibility of transporting troops and supplies across Tur- key, assuming a Nazi victory over Russ‘a by September. The Turks side-stepped that proposal by contending that the matter was premature.

More recently, however, they were reported to be consider- ing permitting food to be ship- ped, when and if the Nazi leg- ions reached the Russlan oil fields in the Caucasus.

Turkey has been on a hot spot tv."ce recently over ihe permission given an armed Ital- ian oil tanker to so through the Dardauelles on the way to Rumania, since a ireatv bars the straits to belligerent war craft. British and Russian en-

voys protested heatedly but vainly. London gave assurance this

month ‘l at no agreement wth Soviet Russian concerning the post-war spheres of influence would infringe on Turkish in- terests.

There followed the joint nledce by Bt-itain and R11ss‘a that thev had no designs on the Dardanelles and that both would aid 'I‘url<cy if she were attacked bv a European power

Mr. King said he listened in an adjoining room while Prime Min- isfer Churchill broadcast Sunday "I thought it was the best broad- cast the Prime Minister ever made." Mr. King said. "It was most significant and most important."

Other week-end guests at thc Prime Minister's included Lord Beaverbrook, freshly-come from Washington conferences on supply questions and from a visit to O1. larva. and Capt. Eliioit Roosevelt. son of the United States President. Mr. King said he had several long conversations with Mr. Churchill on all phases of the war effort.

Japs defiant; Determined to Move southward

(By Max Hill) (Associated Press Staff Writer) TOKYO, Aug. 3J»-<Tuesday)—

(APl-The Japanese charged to. daydthat Prime Minister Churchill “lie ..

ing would halt the southward course of this Asiatic empire.

The entire press attadved Mr. Churchill's promise of aid to the United States if attempts to stop Japan's expansion were not ac- compiished peacefully.

The conservative newspaper Nichl Nichl said that instead of trying to keep peace, Britain and the United States were disturbing the peace of Asia by aiding the Chiang Kai-Shek regime in China.

“What Churchill said about peaceful settlement is nothing but a big lie," the newspaper said.

"Britain must terminate her anti-Japanese activities immedi- atefy. Japan is determined to el- iminate all obstacles to her south- ward advance.

“Japan does not hesitate to mcet any opposition."

Two newspapers, Hochi and the‘ militaristic Kokumin, tied up com- ments on the Churchill speech with criticism of Admiral Kichisaburo Nonura, Japanese Ambassador to Washington. for telling corres. ponrlents in Washington Saturday that the gap in policy between the United States and Japan might be bridged.
