BALKAN ALLIANCES
ECONOMIC AND MILITARY EVENTUAL FEDERATION SEEN Rec. 0.20 a.m. LONDON, Jan. 18. The treaty of friendship, collaboration and mutual assistance between Bulgaria and Rumania, which was signed on Friday, is for 20 years, says the Associated Press Bucharest correspondent. It provides for mutual military aid in the case of aggression by “ Germany or a third State.” The treaty includes provision - for the projected Bulgarian and Rumanian Customs union.
The Yugoslav news agency Tan jug has published a communique recording the treaty, which states that Bulgaria and Rumania intend “ to employ all their strength to gain admission to the United Nations.” It added that the two Governments are firmly resolved not to permit certain governments to use the peace treaties signed in Paris as a pretext to prejudice Bulgaria’s and Rumania’s sovereignty. Mr Dimitrov, the Bulgarian Premier, stated to-day that Bulgaria, Rumania, Albania, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Poland and Czechoslovakia aimed at perfecting
a system of bilateral alliances and co-ordinating economic co-opera-tion as a prelude to eventual federation or confederation, says the Associated Press Bucharest correspondent.
