PEACE IN EUROPE I HELPED OUT BY BIG NEW TREATY Non-Aggression Between France and Russia Was Agreed Upon To-day (Copyright 1931, by United Press) London, Aug 19—A long step toward peace In Europe was be lieved to have been taken today with the conclusion of a treaty of non-aggression between France and Soviet Russia. The United Press learned that the pact had been Initialed by repre sentatives of France and Russia In Paris, concluding negotiations start ed in May. The pact binds these nations, two of Europe's most Intense polit ical rivals since the World war, to maintain strict neutrality In event the other Is attacked witho'ut pro vocation by a third power or group of powers. Otherwise, it was understood, the agreement closely follows the lines of the Oerman-Sovlet union neu trality accord. The conclusion of the treaty was regarded as a significant mile stone in the relations of France and Russia In recent years. It furthermore was believed certain to have a strong influence on other European- nations. The Soviet authorities repeated ly have charged France with par ticipation in alleged anti-Russian plots. The Moscow press, govern ment controlled, frequently has pointed to France as Ihe future leader of the "capitalist war” against Russia. French diplomatic relations with Moscow often have been severely strained. The almost unbroken strain on relations since the war, due In part to the fact that Poland (considered a foe by the Soviets) and France are allies, has been Intensified by such Incidents as the Ramzln Sa botage trial at Moscow last fall, when Raymond Poincare, the French general staff and others were charged with plotting an "In terventionist war," against Russia. The French edict of October, 1930 providing a licensing system which virtually put an embargo on Soviet Imports to France, added to the strain. The situation proved Irksome to both nations, and negotiations were begun for a commercial treaty which also has been developed to a "satisfactory" point, It was un derstood in London. Paris, Aug 19—(UP)—Repre sentatives of France and Soviet Russia have been negotiating for a treaty of non-aggression, It was admitted In reliable quarters to day. Officials at .the foreign ministry, however, said that they "have no knowledge" that the pact had been concluded, as reported from Ion don.

AIRPORT ON ROOK FOR LONDON By NKA Service London.—The first roof airport In the world will be erected here at King's Cross as soon as plans of a group of business men, archi tects and engineers are completed. The scheme calls for an expen diture of about $25,000,000, and will consist of moving Croyden air port to central London on a site now occupied by railway sidings. No estimate of the height of the buildings has been set as yet, but It is thought It will be several stories.
