To amplify a bit - this is specifically demonstrated in Draper and Smith as "extra SS" - and most likely in others.  My initial reaction was the same as Steve's, but by the time I read it, the answer was already on the list.  The use of e(sample) was an idea that hadn't occurred to me (of course, all data in regression are complete!  (-:) )

"R-squares is equivalent to assessing a difference between the mean
square errors."

I should clarify: This statement is true because the R-squares are
being computed on the same data and for the same response variable. To
ensure this condition, restrict the sample to observations with
non-missing values for all predictors in the two regressions.
