sia unsuccessful negotiator with
Turkey declared in the govern
ment newspaper Izvestia that
Britain and France in the An

Blockade And
Propaganda Wea
pons In The War
UNDATED, Oct. 23 (/P) — The
eighth week of the European
war found the belligerents,
France and Britain against Ger
many trying to break each other
by blockade and by propaganda
and diplomacy rather than wast
ing bloodshed in land warfare
with big guns tanks planes and
masses of troops.
On the western front where
the French have withdrawn vir
tually from all position on Ger-1
man soil all was quiet except for
scouting activity but bellliger-;
eats called on other potent wea
pons in the struggle to shatter
the enemy morale and win the
support of non-belligerent na
tions.
As a corollary to the war Russ
sta continued her diplomatic cam
paign for dominance in eastern
Europe which has already brot
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania un
der her sphere of control. The
Finland delegation returned to
Moscow for more talks on the
Kremlin proposals which Russia
advanced to her northern neigh
bor. A Russian military mission
arrived at Lithuania and five So
viet warships anchored off Li
bau one of the three Latvia
ports set aside for Russian naval
use under the Soviet-Latvian mu
tual assistance pact.
