Geneva, Dec. 6.

France and Russia to-day signed an accord pleading themselves to refrain from entering upon any agreement which might conceivably hamper the conclusion of “an Eastern Locarno Pact."

M. Laval, the French Foreign Minister, and M. Litvinoff, Russian Commissar for Foreign Affairs and chief Soviet delegate to the League of Nations, signed on behalf of their respective Governments.

The delegations of both nations, which have been conferring here, fake pains to deny that any form of Franco-Soviet alliance has been completed.
