SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1939. 4 Russo Japanese Truce Ends Long Hostilities On Disputed Frontier Armistice Will Free Large ance of War Against Free Hand To Act in cern Is Expressed in Of New Alignment of Associated Press. MOSCOW, Sept. 15.

Soviet Russia and Japan today agreed to an armistice in their war on the troubled Manchukuo-Outer Mongolia border in a move which some diplomatic quarters saw as a possible forerunner to a non-aggression pact. The agreement to end hostilities on the frontier between Japanese-dominated Manchukuo and Sovietized Outer Mongolia was through Tass, Soviet official news agency. Japanese-Manchukuoan and Soviet-Mongolian forces had been fighting intermittently on the disputed frontier since May 11. New Envoy to Tokyo, The appointment of Constantin Smetanin as Soviet ambassador to Tokyo was announced a short time later. Smetanin has been serving as charge d'affaires in Tokyo, where Russia has been without an ambassador since June 5, 1938, when Mikhail Mikhailovitch Slavutsky went back to Moscow.

In Effect Today. The earlier announcement said that the armistice would begin at 2 p.m. (7 a.m. E.D.T.) tomorrow. The respective forces, under the agreement, will maintain their positions held at 1 p.m.

today. A commission of two JapaneseManchukuoan and two SovietMongolian representatives will be organized "at the earliest possible date" to establish a frontier line between the two states in the area where intermittent warfare has been in progress since May 11. The agreement was reached following negotiations between the Japanese ambassador, Shigenori Togo, and the Soviet premier and foreign commissar, Vyacheslaff Molotoff. Formal announcement of the I agreement came after unofficial reports of the action had been coupled with predictions by some observers 1 that it might be the forerunner to a non-aggression pact. Covet No Territory.

Joseph Stalin's precept, "We do not covet an inch of foreign territory, but will not relinquish an inch of Soviet territory!" was offered as Russia's motto today as a conscript class of almost 1,000,000 answered the annual call to the colors. More cavalry and artillery units were seen heading westward toward the Polish border area. Banners bearing the motto flew over every railway station, where army committees were busy registering the recruits. The new conscript class will swell Soviet Russia's army to a standing strength of at least 4,000,000. Today's recruits included some 600,000 youths born in 1919 and the second half of 1918 and another 145,000 high Holds Labor Must Help In Crushing Nazi Aggression Organized labor's duty in the war crisis is to aid in any way it can to maintain national unity and co-operate in the national effort to crush Nazi, aggression, Norman S.

Detrimental to Britain? Moscow observers said a rumored Soviet-Japanese -aggression pact would be detrimental to the British position in East Asia and possibly to Far Eastern interests of the United States.

It would have an even greater effect on the Japanese campaign in China. Russia has given more or less open material aid to General Chiang Kai-shek in his fight against Japan, Throughout the Japanese-Chinese conflict reliable sources have reported that the flower of Japan's military forces have been concentrated in Manchukuo in readiness for any major move by the Soviet Union in that region.) A reconciliation between Moscow and Tokyo has been one of Germany's aims since the SovietGerman pact was signed and would constitute a diplomatic triumph for Adolf Hitler. Nazi officials have been strenuously active trying to stave off what they feared were British efforts to reach an understanding with Japan. WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 Some members of the United States Congress expressed concern today over the reported Russo -Japanese truce, saying that might mean a new alignment of "dictatorial" powers that would threaten other nations.

At the state department, the development occasioned no surprise. Although the department had received no official notification, it was pointed out that the situation in Manchukuo had indicated an armistice. Fighting on the border ceased several months ago. Attacks by both sides in an effort to feel each other out had left the situation in a stalemate. The armistice would free a large Japanese army on the Manchukuo border for continuance of the war against China.

Tokyo officials said several days ago that this war would be speedily pushed to a conclusion. Soviets Free to Act. In the West the armistice would permit Soviets to act anyway they desired, without fear of a diversion along the Manchukuoan border. Commenting on the reported armistice, Representative Starnes Alabama) said that if it carried through "it is evidence of a realignment of the world's dictatorial and totalitarian governments that would constitute the most positive threat to every truly democratic government that the world has yet seen. I am fearful not only that there may be non -aggression pacts among the dictatorships but also that a secret understanding, if not a military alliance, exists." Representative Izaac California), member of the House foreign affairs committee, said that "if Russia and Japan ever get together it will bring the war closer to our shores.

I view this development with considerable alarm." Beloved Tribute To Miss Askwith Beloved tribute to the late Miss Margaret Turnbull Askwith of 24 Alexander street, an outstanding worker among charitable and church organizations, was paid yesterday afternoon at her funeral by sympathizers from all walks of life in the Capital.

CONCERN EXPRESSED. At the Motion Picture Theaters THE CAPITOL. It will be a week on Sunday since Canada undertook to do its part to resist the doctrine of international murder. Multiple activities in various lines continue in the wake of the emergency session of Parliament. A great deal of discussion is also in progress.

The government is getting much advice as to what to do and when to do it and, in degree, the counsel is conflicting. There appears to be a mounting impetus to the demand in most parts of the country for very quick and effective action. Other influences--not wholly domestic by any meanssuggest restraint. The latter fact is asserted with some authority. Influx Continues.

The influx of business people continues. Ottawa's principal hostelry is filled to overflowing. The enormous proportion are industrialists, in established business, or owners of war facilities. Mixed i in are a number of the modern species known as chiselers. Expeditionary Force.

The outside discussion of an expeditionary force is perhaps greater than here. If one isn't sent, it should be got ready and trained, anyway. That is the argument. There has been but one official statement on the matter. It has been variously interpreted according to the constituency in which the comment is intended for consumption.

There has been no official clarification except a denial in the House by the minister of national defence of published stories that two divisions are being raised and equipped for overseas service. What Hon. Ian Mackenzie said, and, presumably, what stands, is that, apart from the needs of home defence of the coast and of vulnerable places, two divisions are to be recruited which. will be mobile. They can be moved anywhere.

If an overseas force goes, they will be the nucleus of it. Up to this point, the matter is definite. Beyond this point, it is speculative. Continuous Consultation. In the House of Commons.

Prime Minister King reiterated that the government is in continuous consultation with the British government regarding how Canwar effort can be most effective. He mentioned that they wanted air personnel, said that a unit was being organized immediately. He also mentioned food and munitions. The understanding is that Mr. King might have Necessity May Have Caused Cheese Selling The selling on ten Eastern Ontario cheese boards Thursday night might have been caused by necessity or by the fact that the cheesemakers think they could not obtain a better price, a dairy authority said Friday.

The cheese boards sold their product despite a recommendation by J. L. Joss Belleville, secretary of the Ontario Cheese Producers' Association, that no cheese be sold until the price situation clarified. Prices have been advancing since war broke out. "Buyers undoubtedly went into the market Thursday night," the dairy authority said.

"It was not a complete sellout, however. Some offers were made by some Montreal exporters to store cheese in Montreal and advance eight cents to the cheesemakers until it was sold. Glen Ogilvie W. I. Mrs.

Isaiah Scharfe and Mrs. Orville Scharfe entertained members of Glen Ogilvie W.I. at their regular meeting recently. The institute displays at the Ottawa exhibition were discussed and prize money awarded to Mrs. A.

Scharfe, Miss Hazel Ormond and Miss Ruth Purdy. Some discussion place in regard to Cross and the took, members were asked to attend a meeting at the town hall, Billings Bridge, on September 20. Plans were made to celebrate believe that the British government wants an amplification of transport facilities in the widest of term. The further report is that they seek credits through which purchases in Canada could be expeditiously financed without regard to the fluctuations of exchange. In connection with the air pilots, what is wanted also are "ground and so on.

It is understood that machinists and the like are not beling enlisted for infantry service. It is stated by sources in a position to know that, apart from the foregoing, an expeditionary force is not yet suggested from abroad, nor any undue speed in getting one ready. Just why this is may naturally create considerable curiosity but there are strategies in war concerning which questions can't be asked. If, as is claimed, this is the situation, it contrasts with the increasing eagerness of Canadians to do their part, not only in suppiving, munitions and food and necessary, but also army divisions to take the field. Meanwhile, the country has swung into adjustment after the first paralyzing shock of war.

The new taxes gives a foretaste of what war means and its utterly incalculable cost. Food prices are going up, other commodities as well. The government will not need to worry over any loss resulting from its guarantee of 70 cents as a minimum price per bushel for wheat. As things have turned out, they could have made it 80 cents, the same as last year. A determined effort is to be made to prevent any undue inflation of prices or any profiteering.

The budget is designed to take care of excess profits whether by the munition maker or the grocery man. Apart from that, however, warning is given that profiteering on any necessity of life will be penalized. The militia units have been recruited up to strength, apparently without difficulty. Repeated reports, however, suggest that, in most parts of the country, enlistment for possible service overseas is more attractive than for domestic defence. This spirit synchronizes with the evidently increasing opinion that an overseas force should be got ready.

Obviously, if and when one is wanted, its recruitment, regardless of the more exacting physical standard which is now prescribed, will present no problem. Ottawan Missing On Pembroke Job Special to The Citizen. PEMBROKE, Sept. police have been asked to assist in a search for Frank Craig, 61, of 40 Anderson street, Ottawa, who was empioyed in Pembroke with the bridge and building department of the C.N.R. and who has been missing since Thursday morning.

And now the movie makers have translated "The Wizard of Oz" to the talking screen in a gorgeously colored colossal production. Yesterday The Capitol where the picture opened a week's engagement was crowded for all showings, with the afternoon audiences predominantly.

of the younger element. The greater scope of the screen has allowed vastly more latitude in the presentation than is possible on the stage, and with a cast of popular and capable players "The Wizard of Oz" is one of the season's finest attractions. Judy Garland plays the role of Dorothy, the little Kansas girl caught up in a twister and sent into the twilight where she dreams that she is being chased by the bad witch of the West, is protected by the witch of the East, and has for companions the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow the Cowardly Lion. This oddly assorted trio she meets on her way to the Land of the Munchkins, whence the Witch of East (a good fairy) sends her on to the Emerald City where the Wizard of Oz is supposed have the power to restore to her home and the others to what they want to be. Jack Haley, Ray Bolger and Bert Lahr play the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion and with their grotesque make-ups and antics furnish the comedy of the piece, while Judy Garland sings a number of haunting lyrics and covers herself with glory in a role that is exceedingly heavy for such a young girl.
