LONDON, Oct. l6.-RusSias Far
Eastern Army remains virtually in
tact and stands ready to face any
eventuality arising from the cabinet
crisis in Japan, a Soviet source in
London said today.
He declared that reserves which
had been called from Siberia to the
western front had been drawn mainly
from new conScriptS without weak
ening the permanent military estab-
ishment in the Orient
He insisted that the Red Army of
the East was better equipped for
mechanical war than the Japanese.
mo stab in the back could de-
stroy U.S." this informant declared.
An authoritative British source
asserted that although the Konoye
cabinets resignation may not mean
the immediate involvement" of ia
pan in war with Russia there is little
doubt in London that the new cab
met will show an increasing bellig-
erency.
He added that if this proves true
there undoubtedly will be new
warnings from Britain" possibly in
collaboration with the United
States.
He recalled as significant Prime
Minister Churchill's broadcast of
August "a after his Atlantic meeting
with President Roosevelt in which
Mr.. Churchill said that japanese
encroaehments in the East have
got to stop"
Mr.. Churchill at that time con-
tinued that the United States was
seeking peaceful settlements to give
Japan the utmost reinsurance for
her legitimate interests"
I'VE earnestly hope that these
negotiations will succeed" Mr..
Churchill continued. But I must
say this: That if these hopes should
fail we shall of course range our
selves unhesitatingly at the side of
the United States"
British observers expressed doubt
that Adolf Hitler. in view of his own
victories, was pressing Japan just
now for a declaration of war against
Russia but one authority asserted
that :'the Nazis certainly are using
Japan as threat to immobilize Red
Army divisions in the Far East"

Mr.. Chudleigh said.

rector, issued an order suspending
all aluminium work of the Central
Pattern & Foundry Co. until March
81, 1912, except for completion OF
defense orders on its books as Of
October l.
Mr.. Nelson said the firms alumni
mum business averaged about ST.
100000 a year.
The order, first such action un-
dertaken by o. P NJ, charged the
firm with shipping 41,449 pounds of
aluminium in July to six separate
companies. The shipments were said
to have included material for Juke
boxes. slot machines, coin operated
machines, cameras and vacuum
cleaners.
In addition to aluminium opera
tions. which O. P. NJ estimated were
about go per cent OF the company's
business. Central Pattern also fab
ricates brass and zinc products.
These latter operations will not be
affected by the suspension order.
At press conference held in con-
nection with issuance of the order,
Mr.. Nelson declared that "this COM
