AMERICA AND SOVIET.

Resumption of Relations Would Be Warning to Japan. , FRENCH OPINION. (Received 10 a.ni.) PARIS, November 6. The forthcoming talks between M. Litvinoff and President Roosevelt are considered certain to lead to the resumption of diplomatic relations between Russia and America, the newspaper "Lβ Temps" thinks, and the resumption will be a warning to Japan. The paper adds that it is the repercussions such resumption may have on Japan's position in the Far East and in the Pacific that are chiefly disturbing American opinion.

FOREIGNERS' FEAR.

Aerial manoeuvres ea.ch night and the continual movement of Japanese troops northward, together with the .failure to solve the Chinese Eastern Eailway problem, are heightening the anxiety.
