Reds Declare US.
Juggling Law on
Help for Britain

MOSCOW, Jan. IL. eUP)-Izves-
tia, the government newspaper or
gan, charged today that "some lead
ing statesmen" in Great Britain
and the United States were juggling
with international law by defending
Americas right to aid Britain while
holding that Russia could not sell
even cereals to Germany without
violating the policy of peace.
There are in Britain and the
United States some leading states
men who believe that the United
States in full conformity with in
ternational law and a position of
neutrality may sell to Britain every
thing including even warships,
whereas the Soviet Union can not
sell to Germany even cereals with
out violating the policy of peace"
said Izvestia.
'The strange contentious provide
curious example of juggling with
international law. However, such
extra free handling of the principles
of international law and neutrality
can only have the meaning of a
political maneuver."
1t defended Russo German econo-
mic and other cooperation as "a
most effective means of strengthen
ing peace and friendship between
the Soviet Union. and Germany
the two mightiest powers in Eu-
rope"

Britons Joyful
At Raj ACTIVITY

LONDON, Jan. II. (UP)-Two
direct hits on the bow of a large
vessel in the Brest dockyard which
caused widespread fires in the dock
area were reported by the air min

Dor had been attacked by British

In some quarters there was belief
that British planes also may have
attacked northern Italy in view of
a half hours air raid alarm re-
ported from Berne, Switzerland,
early this morning. However, Eur
ich and Berne both reported air
raid alarms yesterday and it was
said that they had been caused by
two German bombers which had
lost their way.
British attacks on BreSt and LIE

airdromes between Calais and Bou-
logne, pointing out that they mark
ed the first attacks by British
bombers escorted by fighters since
the capitulation of France.
THE fact that we have gone over
northern France with a big force
of fighters and bombers is indica-
ton that the Raj now is believed
strong enough to be matched
against the German air force in
the open over German-o occupied
territory" one source said.
1t was disclosed also that new
long range bomber, much faster and
more heavily armed than those in
service, has been added to the RAF,
while the fleet air arm has been
augmented by the most heavily
armed two-seater fighter in any
navy.
An air ministry communique said
that last nights attacks had been
carried out in bright moonlight.
All British planes participating re-
turned.
The new bombers were said to
have been designed to meet a need
for more long range, heavy raid
ers. The plane is Short-Stirliny,
built by the makers of the Sunder-
lands OF the Imperial airways,
which now are patrolling the Allan
tic. The Stirling is said to be COM
parable only to Wellingtons, which
can fly more than 5000 miles
without refueling.
The new fleet air arm plane is
Hurricane fighter armed with
eight guns in the wings.
Full details of the new planes
were kept secret but it was known
that they had increased speed and
