temporary White House announc
ed that a submarine definitely
identified as foreign was sighted
yesterday 15 miles from Miami,
Florida. It’s nationality was un

within the neutrality zone, it was
declared.
The recent Pan American con
ference presidential secretary
William Hassett said President
Roosevelt authorized the disclos
ure, his first since he recently
told the press that a sub was
sighted off southern Alaska and
another off Boston.
Hitler Confident
BERLIN, Oct. 7 {/?)— It wias
represented here that Hitler was
serenely confident that his ap
peal would be heeded. Washing
ton sources indicated that Roose
velt would not take any action
unless France and Britain desir
ed his mediation efforts.
Fascists said Italy would lend
her good offices on the same bas
is. British officials were silent,
however, pending Chamberlain’s
probable reply Monday before
the House of Commons. Unoffic

for a long war.
Russia Pushes
Drive Domination
Eastern Europe
UNDATED. Oct. 9 (P) — A
quickened Soviet diplomatic of
fensive held the center of the
I European stage from the stale*
j mated western war front. Work
ing swiftly while Germany and
the British and French allies pre
occupied in their slow moving
war and Hitler’s peace offer,
Russia pushed her drive for in
creased domination of Eastern
Europe. Her cooperation includ
ed four-fold negotiations with
! Finland, Lithuania, Turkey and
Germany herself was included in
the scope of Russian activities.
Estonia and Latvia have already
fallen under Soviet sway thru
pacts giving Rusia sweeping mil
itary and economic concessions.
A similar pact with neighboring
Lithuania is expected shortly.
Finland though promising her
self there would toe no capitula
tion to the Russian giant agreed
to send a special envoy to Mos
cow for important talks. Juhu
Paasikivif Finnish minister to
Sweden, was selected as the en
voy who is expected soon in Mos
cow where diplomatic activity
has increased since Russia and
Germany collaborated on the
partition of Poland.
The German trade delegation
which arrived only yesterday
reached a quick agreement that
Russia “should immediately be
gin supplying Germany with ma
terials and Germany should be
gin filling orders” for the Soviet
Union. Some mystery surround
ed the negotiations with Turkey.
Turkish foreign minister Sara
coglu remained in Moscow but
without apparent results for his
visit there. Reports on his course
are determined somewhat by the
results of the Turkish military
mission’s current visit to London.
