WHITEAWAY'S

THE FIRST DIRECT admission that Sovict Russia is eponly aiding China in her fight against aggression was made in the Soviet Parliament to-day by M. Molotoff, the Foreign Secretary.

M. Molotoff raforrad extensively to the Sino-Japanese War during his speech on Foreign Affairs.

"You are well acquainted with M. Stalin's statement regarding support for nations which become the victims of aggression and are fighting for the independence of their countries, he said. "This fully applies to China in her struggle for national independence.

"We are constantly carrying out this policy in practico."

It was fully in line, M. Molotoff declared, with the task facing the Soviet in Europe for the establishment of a united front of the peaceable Powers against further aggression.---Reuter,

He said that the Soviet insisted that the pact be of an exclusively defensive character, the guarantee of all neighbours of the Soviet, and a concrete agreement for mutual help if one of the signatories were attacked.

The Soviet, he declared "stands unreservedly for the union of all peace-loving Powers to curb aggression.

"Bat we must be careful to remember M. Stalin's warning not to allow ourselves to pull other

people's chestnuts out of the fire,”| he added.

The delegates cheered as M. Molotoff sold this.
