Same Price for Milk in Bottles as Containers to
 Benefit Public

Mormton E. Pierpont, president of the Connecticut Milk Producers Dealers association and head of the Waterbury Milk Bottle Exchange declared today that one-cent price differential between milk in bottles and in paper containes will serve to benefit the residents of the local area by protecting them from unfair trade practices and tcut.throat competition MT. Pierpc attacked the stand taken by S>0ard McElligott, presi- dent of R. F. Worden & Sons, Inc, claiming that the latter's policy would break down the market"
 MT. Pierpont's remarks were made in defense of ruling by State Milk ham fixing the price of store milk in Administrator s. Mclean Bucking- paper containers at IA cents per quart, a cent higher than that of store milk in bottles. The ruling was made following a public hearing at the city hall Monday night, at which 20 to 30 persons present voted in favor of price stablization. The con- troversy does not affect milk deliv- cred to homes, which sells at IA cents a quart, since there are no plans for attempting distribution of milk in the paper cartons to homes in the local area, which includes Water- bury, Naugatuck and Watertown.
 Plan Is Suspicious
 "It's impossible for dealer to sell milk in paper bottles at the same planning to take big lose to force price as in glass bottles unless he's others out of business" MT. Pier

Concord, N. H., March 13-(UP) A full slate of delegates pledged to third term for President Roose- welt was elected overwhelmingly in New Hampshire's first-in-the-na- tional presidential primary, almost complete returns showed today.

 Only party "ofiicial" candidate not elected was Democratic State Chairman Robert c. Murchie who ran last by a narrow margin in a field of three in the second district,

BY HENRY SHAPIRO

 Moscow, March 13. - (UP) - Soviet Russia today celebrated the Red Army's defeat of Finland as ending all threat of an "imperialist" invasion in the north, aSSur- ing friendly collaboration" with the Finnish people and guarding Russia against in volvement in the western European war.
 The announcement of an end to fighting and of treaty giving Rus sia the Karelian Isthmus, the City of Viipuri, the important military base of Hango and the promise of a direct rail link with Sweden was regarded by foreign observers as 8 big diplomatic and military triumph for the Russian. The agreement alos provided for a Russian Fin nish non-aggression and trade accord.
 The Soviet press emphasized that the treaty with Finland was de- signed to create-as the Communist newspaper Pravda said - Stable, friendly and mutual relations" which would guf antee the security of both countries.
 Russia Wants to Stay Out But. the newspaper emphasiZed. the Soviet Union wants to keep out of the war in western Europe.
 Security of Russian frontiers, Pravda said, is "the duty of the Soviet government to the Soviet people, who do not wish to take part in Q clash of imperialist powers"
 The government, 1t said, follows tits own independent policy and will not let itself be involved in a war entailing innumerable calamities for the peoples of the world"
 Throughout the 8,340,0e0 square miles of Union territory, from the Baltic to the Pacific and from the Arctic to the Black Sea and the Afghanistan frontier, Russians greeted with shouts of joy the an- nouncement on the official radio of 8 treaty which gave Josef Stalin much more than he had asked be- fore the start of the 1-2 vonths of war. \
 Stay Up All N4 4t
 Many people stayed up all night to hear the radio reports.
 They, and leaders here, held that the treaty, drastic as were its terms, was consistent with Russian peace policy and that Russian in first making demands on Finland, after its demands on the other Baltic re- publics-Lithuania, Latvia, Esthonia had sought only, in view of the European war, to safeguard it's own security and that Finland had con- stituted potential danger as step- ping-stone for an attack on Lenin- grad.

 Many Problems Over Peace in Finland
BY HOBART c. MONTEE Limited Press Staff COrreSnOndentl

(UHAteu ETeSS StaN COFEGSpOn0eMt)
 Washington, March 13.-(UP)- State department officials believed today that the United States might have to re-chart its foreign policy to meet new European problems ex- pected to develop from the Russian Finnish peace treaty.
 Although there was no official comment, congressional spokesmen for the administration denounced the treaty as a "holdup" of Finland and as another Hitler victory"
 State department officials agreed privately that Finnish equalization to Russia probably would raise some complicated problems for the United States in the immediate future.
 Some of Problems
 Among those immediately raised were:
 1. The status of the $20OOO, 900 export-import bank loan to Finland for the purchase of non-military supplies, The bank previously had loaned Finland eiO,0O00 900. Federal Loan Administrator Jesse IT. Jones announced that what remains of the loan would be at Finland's disposal for rehabilitation and refugee work. He still considers Finland . good risk"
 2. The status of collections by various private organizations for Finnish relief and for the purchase Of arTnaments, Former President Herbert Hoover, head of the Finn. ish relief fund. declined comment in New York.

BY EDWARD w. BEATTIE, JR. United Press Staff Correspondent) Helsinki, Finland, March 13. = (UP) = Giant Russia and little Finland formally ended their unequal 3 1-2 month war today and For eign Minister V. A. Tanner in a poignant radio speech to the mourning nation said that Finland had had no choice.
 Tn end came here at the World War armistice hour of Il 8. m. The smoking guns of the Mannerheim Line ceased fire, and the ski patrols in, the far north were called in.
 "All war-like operations ceased at il a. m. Finnish time," said the of- ficial announcement.
 This was the hour set in the treaty signed at Moscow at 2:30 a. m. Moscow time = noon Moscow time or 4 a.. m. Eastern Standard Time. 1ASwas announced. q also to the Finnish people that the treaty, which put Russia back to the from tiers of Peter the Greats time in the early 18th century, had been signed.
 An hour later Tanner made the first of a series of speeches by na- tional leaders - bitter, sorrowful, but resolute speeches - to tell the nation why humiliating peace had been made for them.
 we were not prepared because we had believed in treaties" Tanner said. There was @ lack of all sorts of equipment, and a noticeable short- age of certain special important arms. .. We had not received guar antees from other quarters. Our army did well and fought with all its might, and 1t did well beyond all expectations. I will not use the commonplace word, heroes. I will say they fought like men. We had many great victories and only on the main frontier were we forced to withdraw somewhat.
 "But We are 8 small people. The same men had to fight all the time and 1t was inevitable that they be- came tired.

 London, March 13-(UP)-Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain today defended Britain's readiness to aid Finland's "epic struggle against ag- gression" but was sharply criticized by former War Secretary Leslie Hore-Belisha for failing to go to the defense of the Films.
 The dismissed war secretary, who previously had urged aid to Finland even if it meant war with Russia, rose in the House of Commons and asked:
 Isn't it 8 fact that repeated ap- peals have been made by that coun- try (Finland for assistance not only in materials but in men and isn't it pity in relation to the magnitude of these events and their far-reach- ing character to plead as an excuse for inaction pure technicality?"
