Bitter DenunciatiOn Given

United Press Staff Correspondent


Washington, March 14-(UP) -
Administration officials indicated
today that they would continue to
advocate the western hemisphere'S
good neighbor policy for Europe de-
spite the terms of the FinniSh-Rus-
sian peace treaty.
Chief principle Of that policy Is
that small countries are assured
against attack by stronger neigh
borS.
President Roosevelt declared that
the end of the Russo Finnish war
docs not yet clarity the inherent
right of small nations to the main
tenance of their integrity against
attack by superior forces"
That statement appeared to elm
mate any possibility that relations
between the United States and
Russia, severely strained since the
invasion of Finland, would be patch
ed up now that hostilities have
ceased. There was q revival IN con.
gress OF demands for severance OF
diplomatic relations with Russia.
They were opposed by Chairman
Key Pittman OF the senate foreign
relations committee who contended
that there was nothing 10 gain" by
such O move.
Unprecedented
Mr.. Roosevelt's Pronunciation OF
Russia and the peace terms imposed
upon Finland was viewed by dlplo-
matte observers rs unprecedented.
