NULLIFYING CLAUSE
RUSSIAN DESIRE
SAFEGUARDING POLES
NO ATTACK ON THIRD POWER
(Received August 24, 1.10 p.m.) LONDON, August 23. A special North American Newspaper Alliance message from Moscow states that Russian officials emphasise that a clause is being inserted in the German-Russian pact nullifying it in the event of either signatory attacking a third Power. The Russians want to indicate that the pact does not automatically give Herr Hitler an opportunity for a policy squeeze against Poland, and also wish to dispel ideas that Germany is now at liberty to attack Poland.
