MOSCOW. May 9 CBy RADIO -
On the occasion of the signing of
the Soviet-Polish extension of the
non-aggression pact to 1945, re-
Gently, the Soviet press comments
on the significance of this step.
To the basic protocol, a conclu-
sive protocol is attached stating that
neither contracting party is bound
by any statement capable of contra
dieting the decision Of the Riga
peace treaty, particularly its third
clause which stipulates that both
the U. S. S. R. and Poland re-
nounce all claims to territories situ-
ated on the other side Of the Soviet
Polish frontier established by the
peace treaty.
"Pravda," organ of the Commu-
mist Party of the Soviet Union, in
an article devoted to the signing of
this protocol, writes that in this has
been realized the Soviet Govern
ment's proposal prolonging for ten
years the existing non-aggresSion
pacts between the U. S. S. r. and
it's western neighbors.
The basis Of the peaceful rela-
lions between the Soviet Union and
the Baltic States, and also between
the U. S. S. R. and its greatest
Western neighbor, Poland, has
been strenthened and consolidated,
says Prayda.
Beyond all doubt the initiative of
the Soviet Union has been success
fully realized, and will serve the
cause OF strengthening the peace in
Eastern Europe, consolidate the in
dependence of the Baltic States.

1.-THE prolongation for ten years
of the non aggression pact between
the Soviet Union and Poland" says
Pray6a, will be met by the great
satisfaction Of the working masses
Of the Soviet Union and the whole
world as a new factor for consolida-
ton Of peace in Eastern Europe.
1.-THE value of this pact is i'm
measurably growing with the sharp
aggravation of imperialist contra
dictions which menace a new war.
There is no doubts whatever that
under such conditions the prolonga-
ton of the pact between the U. S.
s. R. and Poland will serve as a
cause for the sterilization of peace.
The sincere endeavor of the work
ers of the Soviet Union toward con-
solidation and development of
peaceful neighborly relations be-
tween the country Of SovietS and
its neighbors has acquired new con-
firmation.
THE statement Of the absence of
agreements contradicting obliga-
tons undertaken by the signatories
according to the Riga peace treaty
is extremely timely and valuable in
connection with all possible rumors
penetrating the world press speak
ing of secret agreements of an OPP
posite nature.
THE protocol concluded between
the Soviet Union and Poland, re-
ferring to the extension of the nom
aggression pact, together with the
statement made by the contracting
parties, that they are under no
obligations contradictory to the
Riga peace treaty, is of importance
reaching far beyond the Soviet
Polish relations; and is factor of
the primary Importance to the con-
solidation of peace
Undoubtedly, the pact signed
yesterday represents in itself new
victory for the peace policy stead
tasty carried on by the Soviet gov
eminent"
