MOSCOW, August 15.
It is understood the Staff talks aje progressing in a good atmosphere. It is believed the Soviet desires to extend the scope of the talks to Franco-British action in the event of a Russo-Japanese clash, and also quickly to conclude both political and military negotiations.
The Moscow Press is refraining from speculation on the Staff talks, but "Pravda," in an editorial on '"Just and Unjust Wars," says: '"In order to wage a defensive war against Fascism, it would be necessary to carry out a violent offensive for the annihilation of the enemy in his own territory, thus helping the workers of all lands in the fight against Fascist oppression."'
