Bucharest, Dec. 30.
The Soviet Minister to Rumania, M. M. S. Ostrovski, has notified the new Rumanian Government of the Soviet's intention to denounce the Non-Aggression Pact with Rumania, according to a report in diplomatic circles to-day.
It is also said that Rymania's contract with France and Czechoslovakia for the supply of armaments has been temporarily suspended, feller ing the advent of M. Goga's Cabinet.
The Rumanian Foreigü Minister M. Micescu, and the Soviet Commis sar for Foreign Affairs, M. Maxim Litvinoff, exchanged cordial telegrams to-day, according to a semiofficial Soviet news agency in Mos cow.
M. Micescu expressed great satisfaction at the possibility of col-elaborating with M. Litvinoff, who replied, "I appreciate your kindly communication, and your declaration Of devotedness to peace, My Government undoubtedly gives support and sympathy to any policy aimed at the defence of universal peace."
The agreement extends the existing Italian-Japanese Commercial Treaty of 1913, with suitable modifications to the Italian Colonies, for"a period of three years without the right of abrogation, after which it will be renewed annually.
Japan, it is understood, will trade on the basis of strict reciprocity to the extent of 16,000,000 lire a year and will buy East African salt, and probably also raw cotton, in exchange for textile goods.
Of special significance, the statement also points out, is the fact that Italy agrees to recognise whatever Customs tariff preferences Japan may accord to Manchoukuo, as an exception to the most favoured nation clause.—Reuter.
