Japan's Showdown

Weather ImmObiliZes
Fighting as Pacific

BY UNITED PRESS

The war on the eastern
front rage d sporadically
without important change
Tuesday-the 23rd anniver-
sary of the World war armistice-
but in the Far East there were new
preparations for a showdown on
Japans new order program.
Dispatches from Berlin, London
Moscow indicated winter weather
conditions were becoming more and
more severe on the front before
the Soviet capital and that the Rus
slams were firmly holding their
defense lines there as well as in the
Ukraine and the Crimea.
There was no news of the counter
attacks recently reported by the
Red army on local sectors around
Moscow or of the encirclement OF
German forces of unStated size in
the VolokolamSk area, as reported
by Radio Moscow on Sunday. The
Russians acknowledged on Monday
that the trapped German units
were fighting fiercely to break out.
tallure OF fLdulO MOSCoW w iC-
port developments in connection
with the VolokolamSk encirclement
indicated ice and snow had almost
immobilized that sector and created
belief in London military circles
that the trap might have failed.
PRESSURE ON JAPAN
On the Far Eastern front. the
British kept up their pressure on
Japan by sending Ambassador Sir
Robert l.. Craigle to talk over the
crisis with the japanese foreign
minister and to point out the speech
of Prime Minister winston Chur-
chill saying that Britain would en-
ter any war involving Japan and
the United States.

Japan was merely waiting for our
