 Guards Are Withdrawn
 Grenadiers and carabinieri were withdrawn from the vicinity of the Soviet embassy after police had dis persed the demonstrators today. But heavy forces were held in readiness because the students promised that there would be further demonstra- tors after lunch"
 Writing in the Giornale D'1talia today Virginia Gayda, who is close tc the foreign office, said that Finland has the right to ask the League of Nations to apply sanctions against Russia"
 Tt will be interesting to see what the great powers belonging to the league will do," Gayda said.
 He recalled that the league voted sanctions against Italy during her campaign against Ethiopia. Gayda said that Finland did not provoke attack by Russia.
 1taly's resignation from the league becomes effective next week.
 Italy May Intervene
 The demonstrations, more irn- pressive because some participants wore the uniform of rigidly disci- plined Fascist units, came as au- thoritative sources said that Italy intended to intervene if Russia at tempted in the Balkans any such campaign as that on which 1t had embarked In the Baltic.
 It was said that Italy was pre- pairing to make a firm stand against any Russian advance in the Bal- kans, which Italy regards as her sphere of interest.
 What form Italy's intervention might take-aiding Balkan countries with military forces as in the Span. ish civil war, actually going to war, or some other form--was matter for speculation. But informants made 1t seem clear that Premier Benito Mussolini was determined to keep Russia out of the Balkans.
 The authoritative news bulletin AhASA hhaHAoih 0eA NfiOLhV, AOllOWuIS up the intensive newspaper cam- paign against Russia's attack on Finland, said that there was still danger of Russian action in the Balkans, where nations which de- sired to remain neutral were more reluctant than ever to make any peace efforts for fear they might be rnisconstrued.
 Italy's Attitude Plain
 Italy's attitude toward Russia's at. tack on Finland was made plain by dispatches from Italian war cor- respondents, praising Finland's re- sistance and calling the Russian army inefficient; by an interview in the Gazzetta Del Popolo under a London date with G. A. Gripenberg, Finnish minister to London, assert ing that Finland would fight to the end for its liberty and independ- ence: and by such articles as that in the newspaper La Stampa of Turin, asserting on the authority of a Swiss dispatch that Josef stalin and Adolf Hitler had agreed that Germany would take part of Ru- mania, Russia Rumanjas Bessa- rabian area, and Hungary Ruma- nian Pennsylvania.
 Bigger Than Reported
 Moreover, investigation of student demonstrations in favor of Finland indicated that they were larger and more enthusiastic than had been re- ported. Reports to the United Press indicated that pro-Finnish demon- stratlons were held by students in practically all large towns through out Italy during the week end, in- cluding Turin, Bologna, Ferrars Florence, Milan and Genoa. At Genca demonstrators paraded the streets shouting Long Live Fin- land" and Finland, Resisti" Many of them carried Finnish flags or the Finnish national colors, blue and white.
 Members of the Finnish legation. and neighboring residents, told how demonstrators before the legation, here Saturday lifted the Finnish minister, Zero Jarnefeit, on their shoulders and carried him around the block, crying Long Live Fin- landP and Finland, Resistl" They said that most of the about 5000 in the demonstration wore Fascist uni- forms. After their parade in the le. gation neighborhood the demonstra- . tors marched to the Russian en- bassy and shouted Down With Communism"
 Police Stationed
 The result was that numerous po- licemen in multi were stationed about the embassy area today to keep any demonstration from get- ting out of control, and it was re- ported that police reserves were sta toned inconspicuously nearby in case anti-Communist feeling became too infiammatory.
 Giovanni Artieri, correspondent at Helsinki, for the Popolo Di Roma. wired his paper:
 The Films have found Russian soldiers in miserable condition. many suffering hardships and scurvy. Soviet battalions have been massed together for many months In wooden huts at Murmansk, equipped with a super-abundance of machine guns and ammunition but lacking completely warm clothes and medicines. as well as fats and lemon juice which are Indispensable in those regions. They are being urged ahead by political m'ssars. who arrived fresh and hearty from Moscow. They reach their objectives only by force of numhers.s
