Paris, Mar. 27.
The demarche in Moscow, resulting in the recall of the Soviet Ambassador, M. Jacob Souritz, from Paris. is interpreted here as indicating France's firm intention of seeing that her rights are respected.
France, it is pointed out, maintains and desires to maintain good relations with all neutral Powers but she will not tolerate acts that are really directed against her but committed under the cloak of neutrality. Russia throughout the war, it is stated, claimed advantages of neutrality and these were granted despite successive agreements Russia signed with Germany. Normal relations have been maintained, but France does not intend to be fooled.
The Ambassador's telegram to M. Stalin when the Soviet-Finnish peace treaty was signed, is regarded as containing expressions inadmissible fiom a diplomat. The French Government's immediate energetic action, it is pointed out, is solely in the international sphere, but it is linked with various measures taken recently to suppress all internal activities harmful to the allied cause.—Reuter.
