BRITAIN'S TRADE DEAL WITH SOVIET EXPLAINED

London, To-day.

|The Anglo-Soviet commercial agreement covers:

1. Timber previously contracted for but not delivered because the Soviet Government broke the contract on the ground that

(a) the sterling balance offered was useless

owing to depreciation;

(b) They feared that they would be unable to obtain commodities required from the Unit- ed Kingdom owing to export restrictions. 2. Rubber and tin, of which substantial surpluses are

held here.

TURKISH AGREEMENT WITH SOVIET NEAR

Moscow, To-day. The early conclusion the Soviet-Turkey pact predicted.

of

is

Well-informed quarters believe that the pact will take the form of mutual assistance, with Turkey undertaking to neutralise the Dardanelles

It is added that that fact would be "in keeping with Anglo-French inter- ests." Reuter.

VISIT TO KREMLIN

Moscow, To-day.

M. Sarajoğlu, the Turkish Foreign Minister, who has been waiting for some days before resuming the talks with the Soviet Government, visited the Kremlin at 3 p.m. yesterday.

Turkish circles yesterday afternoon expected to see the Soviet Govern- ment conclude an agreement last night; they were unable to reveal its nature-Reuter.

The Soviet refusal to deliver timber threatened to create a temporary dis- location of supplies pending the re- sumption of Norwegian and Swedish deliveries and the present arrangement rectifies this and ensures the supply other than via the Baltic.

The agreement has been hastened by, the need for obtaining timber from North Russian ports before they be- came icebound and the fact that Can- adian supplies were more difficult to organise owing to the length of the. sea passage involving a strain on | shipping and convoys,

The rubber and tin exported will be

the equivalent of normal consumption from the United Kingdom: The quan- tity in relation to the total Soviet consumption is not such as to involve danger that it will be resold to Ger- many

the

NO APPROVAL' This, purely commercial transaction

and does not imply approval of is due to the exceptional circumstances Soviet policy but it is our interest and that of all neutrals that trade between ourselves and other neutrals includ- ing the Soviet be fully maintained.

In the case of the Soviet, any ex- pansion of trade with Britain will re- present a definite blow to German policy.-Reuter.

SECOND VISIT

Moscow, To-day. M. Sarajoglu, the Turkish Foreign Minister, visited the Kremlin at five o'clock yesterday afternoon.-Reuter.
