STRATEGIC ASPECT
FRANCO-SOVIET TREATY
LONDON, 2nd December
The Paris correspondent of ‘■ l The Times” states that the recently-signed Franco-Soviet non-aggression treaty is regarded as wholly an experiment, it is generally conceded that French industrialists" greatly influenced the making of it. Considerable criticism has arisen because there is no anti-dumping clause.
Justification of the experiment depends to a degree on tile Soviet’s sincerity, which may minimise the possibilities of a Soviet German co-operation against France. The purpose of the pact from the realistic French point of view, says the Paris corresponded qf the “Manchester Guardian,’ is to keep Russia from a possible conflict between Poland and Germany, weaken the Russo-German diplomatic ties, and reduce the alleged co-operation between the Soviet Red Army and the German Rcichswehr.
