 The visit of Chinese communist leader Mao Tze-Tung to Moscow will result in a Soviet-Chinese friendship pact, Moscow observers forecast today.
 A few hours after his arrival yesterday, Mao, chairman of the Chinese Peoples Republic, con ferred with Prime Minister Stalin in the Kremlin.
 The meeting brought together the ruler of 45O,OOO,OOO Chinese with the ruler of 2OO,OOO,OOO Rus sians, who is also master of the communist forces within and without the Iron Curtain.
 Despite frail health, Mao made an eight to 10 days trip on the Trans-Siberian Railway to be in Moscow for Stalin's 7Oth birthday celebration next Wednesday. It is MaO'S first visit outside China.
 What did the two communist leaders talk about? Mao said at the railway station on arrival that he had come to strengthen the ties between the two nations. He spoke in admiration of Stalin. He said he wanted to widen the peace front engineered by Stalin.
 Undoubtedly Mao would like an economic pact with the Soviet Un- ion to help rebuild his country's industries destroyed by many years of warfare. Without help from the west, Mao is largely de- pendent on Russia for aid.
 Yugoslavs who left the Russian orbit predict Mao will become the Oriental Tito in time. But his pres ent visit underlines the solidarity of Stalinist communism in the Far East. His visit is a demonstration to the world that the Hammer and Sickle never was more power ful in the Far East.
