The King sent the following message to M. Kalinin, President of the U.S.S.R.:—
"I cannot let this occasion pass without expressing my gratification at the signature which has taken place this day of our treaty of alliance. The treaty consecrates the efforts of our two countries in the hard and bitter struggle they are waging, and pledges them to whole-hearted co-operation and mutual support in the year! that follow our victory. I like to believe that you welcome it as sincerely as I do myself, and that you share my confidence that its effect will be to the benefit not only of our two countries, but of all the world."
M.
