They bound France and Russia In a 20year iron alliance, pledged them not to sign a separate peace anti guaranteed Europe against aggression for the next two decades. (London sources believed the Franco-Russian treaty had completed a framework for a postwar European structure on a tandon-Mos-cow-Paris axis, to which smeller states could attach themselves in a series of bilateral treaties with the three great powers.) Apart from its post-war features, the agreement was expected to bring France considerable early deliveries of arms and equipment from Russia. Increasing as military successes against Germany lessen the strain on Soviet war industries, receive a gold pass, signed by president R. E.
