SOVIET & CZECHS
PROVISION FOR COMPLETE COLLABORATION
DURING AND AFTER WAR.
ENDING GERMAN DRIVE TO EAST.
LONDON, December 13
The new agreement, between Russia and Czechoslovakia, provides for complete collaboration in peace and war. It comes into force immediately and is to last for a post-war period of 20 years.
Each party undertakes to respect the other’s independent sovereignty and to refrain from, interference in its internal affairs.
Without naming Poland, the treaty provides that any third power, which has a common frontier with Russia and Czechoslovakia and is an object of German aggression, may become a party to the agreement. Full mutual aid is promised in the face of any German renewal of the policy of a drive to the east and full economic co-operation is stipulated after the war.
“The treaty represents a return to the policy which Czechoslovakia and Russia were carrying out before the war,” said Dr. Benes in an interview, reports Reuter’s Moscow correspondent. “It emphasises what all the great Allied Powers have several times emphasised before, namely, that the German drive to the east must be definitely ended and the gangster policy of Germany must not be repeated,” Dr. Benes .added.
