Moscow, May 31.
The, Soviet answer to the latest British proposals for ce-operation between France, Russia and Great Britain against aggression in Europe, which were delivered to the Boviet Government during the week-end, is expected at the British Embassy before M. Viacheslav Molotov, the Soviet Premier, addresses Parliament tonight.
Sir William Seeds, the British Ambassador, is now learned to have conferred with M. Molotov for an hour and three-quarters on Monday night. The discussion was of an informative character, and resulted in the elucidation of several points in the proposed tripartite pact.
The French Ambassador, M. Naggiar, returned here yesterday from Paris and immediately conferred with Sir William Seeds.
The British proposals are believed to cover a mutual assistance pact, to operate in the event of direct aggression upon European territories of Great Britain, France or Russia; provision for consultation and action in the event of direct aggression upon the territories of any states guaranteed by the three parties; and consultations between the general staffs of the three parties to ensure collaboration between their air, sea and land forces.—Reuter.
