Molotoffs iSpeech Is Highly Critical Of Britain And France.

(By Wilt Hancock, Associated .. Press Half Write?) .. RIOSCLNV, l\larcll 2t)~—l’rc~

lnier Vyacllcslaff Molotrlff pro-

claintezl tonight Soviet Russia's desire to “maintain ottr ncu- trality and refrain from any

participation in the war" ill

littropc, but warned the Allies

they arc “playing with fire" witll tlleir armies in tllc Near

East.

He declared Russia docs not intend t0 wrest her lost prov- ince of llcssarahia from Ru- Jnania "by war."

In a speech highly critical of Great Britain atld France fliltl witll some thrusts at the United

Hates, Alolottlfl told the §n- prcmc Soviet, Rtlssi , legisla- ture,tll:1t the Soviet Union "will continue our policy wllctllcr anybody Iiltes or dis- likes it."

Hfalll ‘points or his review of

foreign policy and international de- veloplnealis lncludcdc- , _

Great Britain anl Earce-"Tney do not like owr prlcies. Tlry want us to fglht Oennany in order to further their impelaalzsuc nms. The U. 5. s. R. will navel- be a. tool oi any country."

Gcrmany—-“Slcviet-Grrman rela- tions were firmly prrvod in tile Pc-lbh oampa gn."

The Neur Elslh-"Tn Syria. and

the Neal- East iil-cre ls a. sus/plczon of activities cf the onstcln army ol the Western Powers. We mlmt. be vigilant against. any attempts to use these tr ops for a purptse ho"- tlle to tile Swlr-t Union. Tile danger cf plafllg will fire should be apparent to l".1‘lf‘l. Our relations wit-h '.l‘urkey and Ivan (Persia) a1" regulated by lion-agglxcsslon pets."

(Britain and France l1‘\lP <- "sem- bled an army in the Near East. ac- cording to srme eat matcs a: high as 500,000 men under command of General lvfnxme wcyglnd ol France.)

Rlumanla-"We have not rcccg- niaed the seizure of Besszlrabla by Rumanva but. we have never de- manded its retum. The Swlet- Unlon, however. dres not mean to regain this by wrr and there nus been no detercraron in our rela- tions with Ru-lnana"

The United Btates-Ruxso-Unt- ted Stafel mlatlons "have not im-

roved of late" but they "have not

come worse unless we take into consideration the sol-called mcral embargo rzaln-zt the Soviet Union which. now that peacc wth inn- land has been concluded, is d-.void of any significance."

Japan-"Jamln must realize than the Soviet Union will not tolerate any wolnt-lon of her irvenrsts. Only lf this is nndu-at-ccd can our rein- lloxls develop sntlslactrl-Ily."
