lO.OOO.OOO Russians

Boston, Nov. l7-(UP)-Russia is ready to replace her first army at the front with a second army of l0,000000 men who now are train ing in Siberia, according to Erskine Caldwell.
 Recently returned from a six- month trip through the USSR, Caldwell told an audience of 1900 at a Ford Hall forum last night that the second army continually is send ing men to fill gaps in the first army but that new recruits are quickly obtained.
 Nothing can defeat Russia un- les the whole world turns against her." Caldwell said. "In Moscow, ballet dancers, butchers and bakers dig ditches to defend the city against the Germans. When every one in the city q. works like this to defend their homes, you can see why Russia isn't being defeated, why its cities stand up under viru- lent attacks"
 Man for man, Caldwell said, the Russians are fighting more fiercely than the Germans.

 After Wallace'S signature is af- fixed in the presence of the Sen- ate, the amending legislation will go to the White House where normal routine would be to send 1t for ex- animation to the justice department and to the departments and agen- cies directly affected.

 They give the administration au- thority not only to arm American merchant vessels butt send them into belligerent ports, under con- voy of our own or the British navy If that seems desirable. That the movement of American flag ships into actual war zones and through hazardous waters near the British Isles will lead to more and more shooting -on sight by both sides is regarded as inevitable.

 NAZIS DO NOT KNOW
 Berlin, Nov. 17-(UP)-A Nag! spokesman said today that nothing was known of Washington state- ments that the Axis vessel had been seized while flying an American flag. but that the practice of flying foreign flag was introduced orig inally" by the United States.
 The comment was made in re- sponse to questions regarding the United States navy announcement that an American cruiser had seized an Axis merchantmen.
 Nothing is known here except foreign news reports the spokes- man said.
 However, assuming merely for the sake of argument that the Washington version is correct, 1t should be pointed outt that the practice of flying a foreign flag is a well-krown naval practice and fur- thermore one introduced originally by the United States as a good friend of Britain"
 (The reference apparently was to the practice of registering Amerl- can-owned shipS under the Panama flag in order to send them into the war zone. carrying supplies to Bri- tain, under the neutrality act, prior to revision.)

 He said, however, that Japan per- s!sts in her hope that peace con be secured by diplomatic means,
 The press reported that the draft resolution of the two houses, drawn for approval after the addresses of Tojo and Togo, would be presented by Prince Tadashlge Shimazu with the assertion that "concerning the Japanese American problem, the greatest efforts should be made for reaching an agreement by means of diplomacy. However, in the event the United States lacks sincerity. Japan must adopt a stern attitude.'
 Limit to Consolidation
 Togo said Japan lis bending It's best efforts" to obtain a successful conclusion" of negotiations with America but "there naturally Is a limit to our conciliatory attitude.
 Should an occasion arise such as might menase the prestige of Japan as a great power it goes without saying that Japan must face 1t with 6 firm and resolute attitude. For my part am taking charge of negoia- tons with firm resolve regarding this point"
 Premier Tojo employed parallel language.
 He said the prospect of negot!a- tions with the United States re- mains uncertain.
 Therefore" he continued, "the government in anticipation of the obstacles in It's path has determined firmly to assure the empires exist ence by perfecting all kinds of preparations"
 Great Britain, the United States and the Dutch East Indies, said Tojo, simultaneously launched moves against Japan after the entry of Japanese troops into French 1ndo China.

 Property

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. Paul Gordon, Chief of the Interior De- partment's Division of Territories, told the House Appropriations Com mittee during hearings yesterday on the third supplemental national de- fense appropriation bill, that the Palmer Richardson highway in AL aska will cost $2,OO0 000 compared to $l,500,000 originally estimated for the job.
