Russia’s War Roles
LONDON, April 20,
The Soviet ambassadors to Paris and Berlin, M. Souritz and M. Merekoloff, passed through Warsaw yesterday en route for Moscow to attend a conference with the Foreign Minister, M. Litvinoff, at which M. Maisky, Soviet ambassador to Britain, will also be present. It is understood Russia’s attitude to the part being played by the Western Powers against the dictatorships will be discussed.
The Paris correspondent of the “Daily Express” says the French Foreign Minister, M. Bonnet, told the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Chamber that negotiations in progress with Russia include the possibility of the Soviet sending not only war planes, but, in certain cases, troops for the assistance of Poland and Rumania.
It is reliably reported from Warsaw that Poland is extending aid in armaments and military co-operation to Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, but is not guaranteeing'the Baltic States, with not endangering their neutrality.
