Intervention Unlikely

London Believes Soviet — Pact with Czechs Secondary To French Initiative

London, Sept. 19.

It is considered highly improbable here that Soviet Russia will adopt an attitude independent of Britain and France in the settlement of the Czech-

Sudeten problem.

Politicians form this opinion in "considering the letter and spirit of the'Czecho-Soviet Pact."

Authoritative Russian quarters here specified that the treaty clearly provides for Soviet assistance subor-dinared to action by France, A clause to-this effect was inserted in the text of the Czecho-Soviet Pact, it is declared.—Havas.
