Citing the terms of the treaty
Pravda said that true to the aims
of its policy of peace. the Soviet
government never has made any
attempts on the independence OF
other states"
Eloquent proof of this" Pravda
said. "is the history of our relations
with Finland. On December 81,
1917, Finland received from the So
Wet government recognition of her
independence. Since then the mighty
Soviet state has observed peaceful
treaty relations with its neighbor
who has not always pursued a policy
OF respect for the rights and inter-
ests of the pacific Soviet people, and
was actually preparing a war base
at the very gates of Leningrad"
Outbreak of the second imperial
ist war" Pravda asserted, con-
fronted the Soviet government with
the urgent task of ensuring the
state frontiers. This is the duty
owed the people by a government
which has no wish to take part in
a clash of imperialist powers, is de-
termined to follow its own inde-
pendent policy and will not let itself
be involved in war entailing in

This route would connect with the

Frontier With Reich
Fortified Italian
Army Leader Says
Alpine Border, Including
Thot With France, Is
Defended by Million
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ROME, March 13.-Gen. Ubaldo
Soddu, undersecretary of war, told
the Fascist Chamber today that
Italy is ready to defend its liberty
Of action with 100000 trained men
under arms and with a fortified
bulwark across its Alpine frontiers.
Gen. Soddu outlined development
of 1taly's military might since the
outbreak of the war. The occasion
of his remarks was the considera-
ton Of the war ministry's budget
for the coming fiscal year.
The underSecretary for war said
the million trained men all were re-
cruited from the younger war classes
and added that an ever-increasing
mass of reservists guarantees raising
the army within the shortest time to
"a level OF strength which the ex-
lgencies Of the situation may re-
quire"
Italy is in a privileged" frontier
position, Soddu said, confirming that
Italy had fortified her frontier with
Germany as we'll as with France.
Natural Barriers Utilized.
Italian Notifications, the under
secretary went on, are not so much
an artificial system like the Maginot
and Siegfried Lines, but more an
"integrating and strengthening of
natural obstacles"
The address came amidst general
expressions of Italian satisfaction
that Russia and Finland had signed
peace treaty.
The undersecretary confirmed that
Italy had strengthened her frontier
defenses facing both Germany and
France.
I'VE began this fortification some
time ago and carried it out on all
frontiers, convinced that the first
necessity of a strong nation is to
guarantee the inviolability Of its
territory" he said.
Svinhufvud Is Silent.
Pehr Evind Svinhufvud former
Finnish President, learned of the
Finnish-Russian peace treaty when
he arrived here today from Berlin,
but he made no comment.
Italians viewed the Moscow treaty
as compromise which stopped the
threat Of general warfare spreading
through Scandinavia, something
both Premier Mdssolini and Adolf
Hitler are eager to prevent.
Fascists also said the treaty was
further evidence of British and
French inability to aid small ma
tions.

McCuistion, Witness
For Dies, Is Indicted
On Murder Charge
Former Maritime
Union Official
Not Yet Arrested
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, March l3.-An
indictment charging murder was on
file today against William c. Nc
Cuistion, Dies Committee witness
and former National Maritime Union
&C. I. o. official. McCuistion has
not been arrested.
The indictment, returned yester-
day by the Orleans parish grand
jury, charges him with the killing
of Philip Carey, union official, shot
to death as he sat in his automo-
bile last September II.
New Orleans police, who had been
looking for McCuistion to question
him about the shooting, tried to
eXtradite him from Washington last
December when he appeared before
the Committee Investigating Un-
American Activities.
Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat of
the United States District Court in
Washington refused to extradite
him, saying the papers were not
properly prepared.
Last December 6, soon after extra
dition was refused McCuistion said
he would return voluntarily after the
Louisiana gubernatorial elections to
clear his name At that time the 38-
year-old seaman lived in Frederick
Md.
His arrest came at the close of two
days testimony before the Dies Com
mittee during which he insisted the
National Maritime Union was a
Communist-inspired attempt to gain
control of American shipping.
Judge Wheat refused to permit ex-
tradition because the legal docu-
ments were "slipshod" and "botched

They must negotiate a trade
