18 April
Yesterday M.M. handed Seeds our reply to the British proposal of 14 April. Here is the essence of our reply.
Following the British inquiry about the Soviet government’s readiness to render assistance to our immediate European neighbours in the face of aggression, Moscow received a French proposal to enter into bilateral commitments for mutual military assistance against aggressors. Accepting the French proposal in principle and following its spirit, as well as wishing to lay a firm foundation for relations between the three states, the Soviet government seeks to combine the British and French proposals in the following points offered for consideration by the British and French governments:
(1) The USSR, France and Britain sign an agreement for a term of 5 to 10 years, mutually committing themselves to provide immediate assistance in all forms, including military aid, in the event of aggression in Europe against one of the three contracting states.


Page 511

(2) The USSR, France and Britain undertake to provide every kind of assistance, including military aid, to the Eastern European states located between the Baltic and Black seas and bordering on the USSR in the event of aggression against these states.
(3) The USSR, France and Britain shall, at the earliest possible date, discuss and establish the forms and extent of military aid to be rendered by each of the said states in compliance with Paras. 1 and 2.
(4) The British government makes it clear that the aid which it promises to Poland stands solely in the event of Germany’s aggression.
(5) The Polish–Rumanian military pact is either entirely cancelled or declared valid in the event of any aggression against Poland or Rumania.
(6) The USSR, France and Britain commit themselves, after hostilities commence, not to enter into any separate negotiations or to sign a separate peace treaty with the aggressors.
(7) The joint three-power agreement is to be signed concurrently with the military convention stipulated in Para. 3.
(8) All three powers enter into negotiations with Turkey about a special agreement for mutual assistance.
A step of vast significance! Now the general line is clear.
