The French visit comes about as the result of Russia's desire to seek new friends as a consequence of Hitler's anti-Communist re- gime, which has broken off Russo German ties.

Russia especially desires French assistance, instead of German, in reorganising their civil and mili- tary avation services.

Owing to the French alliance with the Little Entente, the French rapprochement with Rus- sia should entail a more peaceful atmosphere in Eastern Europe.
