SMOOTH PROGRESS
ANGLO-FRENCH ALLIANCE DISCUSSIONS GOOD AUGURY FOR MOSCOW Rec. 7 p.m. PARIS Feb. 27. The Prime Minister, M. Paul Ramadier, said to-day that the negotiations for an Anglo-French alliance had taken a satisfactory course. Russia had asked Britain to inform France of the provisions of the Anglo-Russian Treaty of 1942 so that the new treaties between the three countries could be drawn up on a comparable basis. M. Ramadier said he hoped that Franco-British accord would be signed in the near future. The negotiations had unfolded methodically and happily in spite of some difficulties. He hinted that accord among Britain, France, and Russia would be reached before the Moscow Conference opened, and said that this appeared to have created an atmosphere different from that in which earlier conferences opened.
The London Evening News says that Britain proposed a new plan designed to bridge the gap between the British and French proposals for action in the event of German aggression. The plan suggests British and French consultation if aggressmn is threatened, instead of the original stipulation for joint action against German aggression.
