Britain - France - Russia As Europe’s Policeman
LONDON, May 11
The Soviet's official organ, the Moscow newspaper. “Izvestia,” says Russia lias maintained, and continues to maintain, that if Britain and France really want to create a barrier against aggression then a united front for mutual assistance should be created, primarily embracing Britain, France, Poland and Russia, or at least Britain, France and Russia. These three, bound by a pact for mutual and reciprocal assistance, should guarantee other States in Eastern and Central Europe threatened by aggression. The Soviet Vice-Commissar of Foreign Affairs, M. Potemkin, in an interview at Warsaw, expressed the liveliest satisfaction with the results of his conversation in Angora, Sofia, and Bucharest. He was particularly pleased with his talks with Turkish ministers.
“With our great friends, France and Turkey, we will be a powerful factor in the stabilisation of peace,” he remarked.
