UNITED STATES AND RUSSIA SIGN MUTUAL AID PACT Washington ?The United States and Soviet Russia Thursday night signed a mutual aid agreement providing for reciprocal assistance in the winning of the war and for cooperation in practical measures to "create a better world hereafter." Similar in all essential respects to the lend-lease agreements signed February 23 with Great Britain and on June 2 with China, the new Soviet agreement replaces the previous arrangements under which Russia was granted last November a r.oninterest bearing loan of $1,000,000,000, followed early this year by supplemental credits of an unrevealed magnitude. ?i? ?i mc uuLigiiiui ulut niaae oy President Roosevelt and aeeepted by Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin, repayment of the non-interest bearing loan was not to begin until five years after the war. Under the new agreement, signed by the Ambassador Maxim Litvinoff and Secretary c.f Sinte Hull Thursday night, the finai determination of terms and conditions of settlement is deferred "until the extent of the defense aid is known."

UNITED NATIONS REACH AN UNDERSTANDING ON SECOND FRONT IN 1942 London.?Britain and Soviet Rusj sia have made an historic pledge to keep an armed peace against Germany after the Nazis are beaten in this war and have renounced territorial greed or meddling in the internal affairs of other nations, the government announced Thursday. Disclosing the terms of a solemn treaty designed to last for at least 20 years, the British foreign secretary, Anthony Eden, told the house of commons the story of last month's i trip to London and Washington by Vyacheslav Molotov, and of the conversations which?in both capitals? resulted in a "full understanding"' ' on "the urgent tasks of creating a second front in Europe in 1942." The treaty iself was signed May 2ti. five days after the Soviet vice : premier had reached London, and just before he left for the United | States. It consummated the negotiations | of alliance which took place in Mos ' cow in uecemDer of 1941, but it wont much further than that. Not only did it take cognizance of Russia's urgent needs in her fight for life against Germany; it also laid down an unprecedented basis for European security after the war is over. Russia, it was understood, made a major concession under the persuasion of the United States ambassador, John G. Winar.t. She agreed j not to press her earlier demand for I a guarantee of her pre-war Baltic frontiers. The two high contracting parties were "His Majesty the King of Great Britain, Ireland and the British Dominion Beyond the Seas, Emperor of India" and "The President of the Supreme Council of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics."
