(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.
