Some Soviet politicians admit that talks in Berlin during the past few months may have resulted in an agreement in principle upon the idea of a triangular military accord.
The parleys, believed to be conducted by Reich's Foreign Minister, Herr Joachim von Ribbentrop, and the then Japanese Military Attache, General Oshima, now Ambassador, are said to have abutted in a new accord, This agreement is stated to have the effect of doubling the effectiveness of the Anti-Comintern Pact, but it is doubted whether the respective Governments will put into actual practice ideas theoretically expressed.
Soviet commentators insist on the fact that the Anti-Comintern Pact was not applied during either the Changkaofeng incident or the Czech crisis, The Soviet Government apparently had not the slightest doubt bug that Japan would remain neutral in the event of a European conflict even when the recent crisis was at its height. "Alto, it is believed here that Signor Benito Mussolini has no desire to embark upon any "adventure against the Soviets."
Most Soviet commentators voice beliefs that it is not the Reich's intention to clash immediately with Russia despite the disappearance of Marthe Czechoslovakia barrier.
The name puzzles some. Dr. Yarsley quoted an American definition: "The term plastic is applied to anything which possesses plasticity; that is, anything which can be deformed under mechanical stress without losing its coherence, and is able to keep the new form given to it."
Thus, the term covers those products which are shaped from organic raw materials by the application of heat and/or pressure and retain the shape when those forces are removed.
