The statement continues: "In view of the new situation created by the developments of war and the Berlin-Rome-Tokyo alliance, it has be- come necessary to define positively and clearly the position of the Soviet.
"M. Molotov's visit has the following aims: (1) to fix a basis for political and economical collaboration of the Soviet with the Axis Powers and eventually with Japan; (2) to reconsider from the point of view of more extensive collaboration on the basis of the German-Soviet

The statement adds: "In the present circumstances, M. Molotov's visit is particularly significant because it proves that development in Europe, notably the signing of the Tripartite Pact, has in no way affected the perfect realisation by both Moscow and Berlin of their respective and common interests.
"Their collaboration ainee the signing of the German-Sovict agreement has only become. closer and has never suffered
the slightest reverse, contrary to the allegations of foreign propa- ganda,”
Permanent Collaboration
The statement concludes by em- phasising that M. Molotov's talks in

Canadian Makes Suggestion
OTTAWA, Nov. 12 (Reuter).The Government of Canada should make a personal appeal to Mr. de Valera, Prime Minister of Eire, to lease to Canada for the duration of the war two ports on the west coast of Eire for use as Empire naval stations, de- ciared Mr. R. B. Hanson, Conservative leader in the Canadian House of Commons to-day when he spoke of the refusal of Eire to allow the United Kingdom to use their naval bases and air ports.
This refusal he described as one of the greatest hindrances to Britain's war progress and in his "Humble view, it is a great con- tribution to Axis power."
