LONDON, April 3.-Soviet For
eign Commissar Vyacheslav Molo-
tov's announcement last night that
the Red Army invasion of Rumania
was not aimed at seizing "any part
Of Rumanian territory" was warmly
welcomed today In official London
circles.
Molotov described this first Rus
sian penetration of Axis territory
as beng dictated by military neces-
sity and declared further that the
action was not aimed at the integ-
rity of the existing social order il,
Rumania." His statement was
broadcast by the Moscow radio and
recorded in London by the Soviet
monitor.
The statement was made "after
consultation and agreement with
the British government" it was dis
closed here.
1t was authoritatively described
as "of greatest Importance" by q
Foreign Office commentator who
added, II rather think it also had
the approval Of the American Gov
ernment."
Coming at the present time, and
made with all the authority given
to 1t at time when the Russian
forces were on the advance, it ought
to have a considerable effect" the
spokesman said.
The belief was expressed here
that this Soviet renunciation of Ru-
manian territory would 60 a long

Rumania ceded to Russia in 1910
the foreign commissar declared:
The Red Army, as a result of its
successful advance has reached the
River PruI. This means the be-
ginning Of full restoration Of the
Soviet frontier created in 1910 as
the result Of an agreement between
the Soviet Union and Rumania
