Canada,
Russia
In Pact
OTTAWA Russia and Cana-
da have signed an agreement
to set up the first direct air
link between the Soviet Union
and North America.
Under the agreement, Air
Canada and the Soviet airline
Aeroflot will each make one
flight per week between Mos-
cow and Montreal. The flights
will begin next fall, probably In
November
The pact was signed by
Prime Minister Lester B.
Pearson and Dmitri Polyansky,
the visiting first deputy chair-
man of the U S S R.
Pearson said the new air
service was “a practical
expression of the cooperation
between our two countries.” He
described the agreement as a
milestone In the development of
closer relations between Cana-
da and the Communist country.
‘•The direct air link between
Moscow and Montreal will
result to a considerable in-
crease of Canadians visiting the
Soviet Union and Soviet citizens
visiting Canada and will place
the relations between our two
countries on a solid basis.” Po-
lyansky said
The Soviet official said the
new air route would supplement
steamship service on t h #
Russian passenger vessel Alex-
ander Pushkin ndiich was
booked to capacity d aring its
last trip to Montreal.
"Our northern people say
that a reindew is good and so
is a ship but a plane is faster."
quipped the dapper, bkie-suited
Polysansky.
The flights will begin on a
twice per week basis and
Increase to four If the demand
warrants it. Other details of the
agreement still have to be
Ironed out in negotiations be-
tween the two airlines.
The agreement put the
finishing touch on a two-week
