Moscow Attacks Americ

Far East, Latin America; Charges

LONDON, June 14 (U. P.) conference, the Moscow radio

attack on American policy in the Far East and Latin

America.

A Russian commentator said, “The foreign policy of

the United States has veered

down by the late President Roosevelt.” He said the United States was tending to Jesiore the

pre-Roosevelt policy “visual- | izing United States interven-|

tion in Latin America.” 0 “The thought comes to mind said, “that the United States u unwilling to consider the rightful | desires of other countries aiming | establishing a lasting and steady | peace.” The Russian ade accused the United States of trying to ‘establish | control over the armament of Latin| American countries. It charged American policy makers demand unconditional preference for the United States in the Far East. Paris Pessimism Mounts “While the United States is for| one-sided action in Latin America and the Far East, she is for many-| sided action in countries lying along the western frontiers of the U. 8. 8. R.,” the commentator said. “Washington at present is not only trying to restore the old order! in Latin America, but is. also endeavoring to establish a similar order in countries situated in on the Western Pacific.” The belligerent tone of the Russian broadcast added to the general attitude of pessimism among British observers about the Paris| conference. Centrasting Policy Alleged Contrasting American policy in| various parts of the world, the Moscow commentator said: “In the Balkans, the United States does not” yet employ the Monroe doctrine, but it favors

“Certain circles in the United States are annoyed because the Soviet Union, which was barbarously invaded through Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and the Balkans should now be concerned that in the future these countries should not be led into becoming jumping off grounds for invasions into the Ukraine, Byelorussia and the Baltic by men ready to trim their lines.” The commentator said it was hard for the United States to understand the Slav desire for security because she had not been invaded for more than 130 years. Citing the] 1914 occupation of Vera Cruz and| the Pershing expedition to Mexico,! he said the United States was not indifferent to events in her immediate neighborhood.
