war base, and British diplomats in
Egypt have been able to virtually
control the native legislature and
Premier Fuad, as is evidenced by
the suspension of the Egyptian leg
islature few months ago and the
suppression of popular demonstra-
tons against British rule.
Fear Eastern Uprisings.
That the British and French have
gradually been able to win the re-
formist Turkish president, Renal
Pasha, to their side, is generally
evident to those who have watched
the growing hostility of the Turkish
government towards the Soviet
Union, while simultaneously enter
ing into an alliance with Afghanis-
tan. The Persian and Egyptian gov
ernments, so complete is British con-
troll over them, would automatically
enter an eastern bloc as soon as it
were formed.
Designed to act as a vice, the
anti-Soviet bloc along the Western
frontier, has also been expanded to
include Czechoslovakia, which until
recently had been reticent. That
Polish-Rumanian anti-Soviet alli-
ance had already been formed is not
news, but the account published by
the Ost-Express from authoritative
sources, sketches the plan in full de-
tail.
Polish-Rumanian Pact.
The plan reveals a complicated
system of military contracts directed
against the Soviet Union. The mil
itary alliance was completed after
the Polish general, Sosnokovski, had
conferred with the Rumanian gov
eminent in Bucharest and the
French general, LIE Rond, had con-
ferred with the governments of
Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Czecho-
slovakia, Rumania, Jugoslavia and
Bulgaria.
AS a result of these conferences,
a general plan for the cooperation
of the Polish and Rumanian armies
on the Soviet front was agreed to,
with the further proviso that a new
Ukrainian state under Polish pro-
lection, be created, should the at
tack be successful.
France To Attack From the North.
In this plan, Odessa, the Soviet
port on the Black Sea, would re-
vert to Rumania and it was de-
cided to draw Hungary into the
anti-Soviet bloc.
France, who, it was reported, was
in back of these conferences be-
cause of it's military role in Poland,
declared its willingness to support
Poland and Rumania, not merely by
supplying them with war material
and detachment of officials from the
French general staff, but also to
send troops, which would be sent via
the Baltic, to attack the Soviet
Union from the north.
Fear Czecho-Slav Workers.
After another series of confer
ences Czechoslovakia was finally
drawn into the schemes. At
first DR.. E. Benes, Czechoslovakian
minister of foreign affairs, refused
to enter the alliance, declaring that
pro-Soviet sympathies were too
strong in his country and that the
strong radical and Communist ten
denotes within Czechoslav labor
made such step entirely out of the
question.
But after Benes had visited Paris
and London and he had been Of
fered the revision of the Trianon
treaty in his favor, he agreed that
the Czechoslav Skoda Works would
manufacture munitions for Rumania.
Shortly afterwards an agreement to
this effect was concluded between
the Rumanian government and the
ammunition plant.
While such alliances, directed
against the Soviet Union, were
known to exist, the latest reports
fully confirm in detail the series Of
alliances, inspired by the
British and French statesmen, evil
