MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR TRADE TREATY WITH RED CHINA FORESEEN

Trade pact to follow, Peking says

San Francisco, February 10. Peiping Rudlo said yesterday a trade agreement between Com- munist China and Russia would follow soon on the heels of the 30-year treaty of alliance and mutual assistance.

A broadcast heard at San Fran- cisco quoted the Communist New China News Agency in an edl- torial as saying a trade agreement is taking shape-through current talks in Moscow and will, soon be

gned.

The editorial said the treaties "usher Into a new ra the re- Iations between the two great countries, Chinn and the Soviet Union." which WIK of "great political and historical signif- cance for the whole of the East and of the work,"

'The editorial hailed the agree- ment by which the major Man- churian line, the Changchun Rail- way, and the ports of Dairen and Port Arthur will return 10 Chinese control by 1852 at the Intest,

London, February 15.

Poland, Czechoslovakia and Finland were reported today to be forging in concert with Russia a multi-million-dollar trade pact with Com- munist China.

Delegations from the three countries have been in Moscow during the lengthy Chinese-Russian talks which culminated on Tuesday in the signing of a new Sino-Russian treaty. The offect of such an agreement, which would bo on an interlocking basis, would be to wold European and Asian Communism even more closely together.

Figures have not been men- tioned by Eastern diplomats here who revealed the treaty moves, but they are expected to be large.

The pact would serve 0% tremendous stimulant to China's programme for reconstruction and eventual Industrialisation. Through It, China would get the machines, steel and tools needed to convert her present preponderantly agri- cultural economy into an indus- trial one,

The Eastern European nations would also profit through acces to China's vast stores of raw materials and natural resources such as con), Iron and tungsten.

The exchange of treaty goods would be carried out over the Russian communications

system, thus eliminating the costly slow water routes to the Far East.
