FRANCO-GERM AN PLANS tF GERMANY. ATTACKS RUSSIA FRANCE; SHOULD AT ONCE HOP IN (U.P.A. by Elec. Tel, Copyright.) (Received April 21, 5.5 p.m.) PARIS, April 20. M- Litvinoff’s cancellation of his visit to Paris was apparently due to a -hitch in initiating the FrancoRus&ian hiutrial assistance pact. The Soviet is believed to desire 1 that, if Germany attacks Russia, France should instantly declare war against Germany without waiting for the League to define the aggressor. M. Pertinax, in the Echo de Paris says that M. Laval three times changed his mind rin this point, the concession of which would sever him from a pro-Gorman policy dear to liis heart, but he will have to yield beeaune the Russo-Czech Danubian pacts depend on the FYanco-Russinn agreement. Another reason for the delay is given by tlie Loon Mere which declar es that Deputy Scnpini brought from Berlin an assurance that President Hitler is willing to visit Paris to discuss points of Franco-German difference as a result of which M. Laval is dispose l .! to consider the possibility of an agreement with Germany.
