On Wednesday, British Foreign
Secretary Viscount Halifax asked
Soviet Ambassador Ivan I. Maisky
about the possibility now of ex-

Malsky apparently believed that the
atmosphere in Moscow was most
favorable. So Oliver Stanley, presi-
dent Of the board of trade, had a
long talk that evening on the pos
sibilities. From Russian sources. it
Is learned that Stanley made a
good impression and it was thought
that If any one visited Moscow in
this connection Stanley would be
the most welcome.
British informed quarters discount
the possibility of such a visit for
the moment and are reluctant to
give the impression that the talks
are more than preliminary, but it
appears that fortnights conversa-
tons may produce real results and
make the visit real probability,

Results Reported
In Britain S Move
For Trade Pacts
Progress Is Noted in
ToIks With Italy
And Soviet
BY HELEN KIRKPATRICK,

ny HELEN NlNhfAINlCh,
Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent
LONDON, Oct. 28.-Great Britain's s
efforts to secure wartime trade
agreements already have yielded
definite results, so far as Italy is
concerned, and material progress
has been made with Russia. An
nouncement in Rome of an agree
ment for a trade commission is in
dicative of far greater progress than
would be apparent from the mere
setting up of commission.
The preliminary groundwork for
Anglo trade talks has been
we'll laid during the past few days
and real developments can be ex-
pected in fortnight, despite the
unfavorable atmosphere it wo1ld
seem had been created bv Russia s
protest against the the British con-
traband control
Italy Wants British Coal.
The Italians had tried months be-
fore the war to renew Anglo-Italian
trade on large scale, but it seems
that the present agreement is en-
tirely a postwar development. For
the moment, the agreement does
not extend much beyond the ex-
change OF British coal for Italian
airplane and marine engines.
In view of the stoppage of coal
from Germany as result of ac-
tivity in the Saar and the Ruhr
coal fields, plus Italys reluctance
to allow its credit balance in Ger
many to increase. Italy would like

actual amount determined upon will

spirit of America which originated
the dive-the hawk swoop on the
target in 25 to 80 seconds from a
height of 10000 feet or more down
to 2,0O0-subsequently adopted in
Europe.
Later dispatches only confirm the
early reports that, in the air at
tacks. it was the fighting planes
which brought down the enemy
planes. They have the advantage
of mobility not only over stationary
anti-aircraft guns, but over mobile
anti-aircraft batteries. They can
patrol the air. watching for the ap-
proach of bombers.
Best Production Against Raids.
They may stay the attack before
it reaches its objective. The farther
inland the objective, the more time
they have to intercept the bombers
on their return trip. An adequate
force Of fighting planes seems the
best pFtection In general against
bombing raids. except for very vital
centers, which must be ringed, too,
with anti-aircraft guns.
1t is in a great surface naval
battle, battleship against battleship,
that the power of both planes and
submarines may be underestimated
All the guns are in action in the
mortal struggle. All the shells the
great turret guns can fire are di-
rected against the enemy battle
ships At the same time, an eve
must be kept on submarine de-
fense. The anti-alrcraft guns on
deck are under shellfire TO dis
tract their attention from air at
tacks. A plane emerges from a
srnokescreen in its dive to launch
its torpedo.
The battleship has its heavy
'honeycomb" type of armor. espe-
cially designed to resist torpedo at
tack effective against one, two Or
even three torpedoes unless they
strike near together. She has her
double armored deck against
bombs, say a top 6-inch to eX-
plode the bomb and bottom A.
inch to prevent its spread in further
penetration.
Naval authorities are far from
yielding their view that the bat
tleshlp, which can give and take
such terrific blows. is still the final
giant factor in holding the COM
mand of the sea.
