%X The Soviet ¨C British treaty is very well known. It represents the end of a road that began in December 1941, through Anthony Eden¡¯s visit to Moscow. On that occasion Stalin forwarded a project that, actually, divided the mutual domination in Europe and modified the frontiers. But the final treaty, signed on May 26, 1942, doesn¡¯t mention anything about the territorial changes discussed in Moscow. On Berlin¡¯s instructions, some Swedish journals published articles regarding the so-called  territorial clauses¡± which, in fact, don¡¯t exist in the actual treaty. We consider these standpoints as an episode in a  war of nerves¡±, which caused significant damages to the Allied cause, at public opinion level.
