That appears to be part of the historical context and may be one of the reasons. I postulate there were multiple reasons, and likely bigger ones than that one. Obviously, A REASON was needed as justification, but implications of M-R were very big.

Churchill lost his shit and went all-out to undo it once he found out. London bankers nearly lost all their assets anyway (Battle of Britain softening of City of London for focused German invasion) after much of non-Swiss Rothschild wealth seized by Hitler in France, Belgium, and Austria. Churchill needed Germans and Soviets fighting to effectively save London bankers (without Americans). They absolutely COULD NOT have a NONAGRESSION PACT.
