RUSSIAN SOVIET MAINTAINS ITS CLAIM OF PEAGE Concentration of Forces Frontiers for Spring Cam- paign Branded as Lies by Russian Agent on REVAL, Esthonia, April 5.—(By The Associated Press.)—Maxim Lit vinoff, chief of the Russian soviet lega- tion abroad, reiterated Russia's peace ful ambitions and desire for recon struction in an interyiew here today, in which he characterized recent ru- mors of a sovict mobilization ‘on the Letvian and other mobilization on the usual sort of lies.” He said he knew nothing of the re- cent report published in the Pravda of Moscow to hte effect that soviet de- mobilization had been halted because ‘Hungary, Rumania and Poland had entered into a new military alliance. “Japan is our only neighbor still cherishing military ambitions against us,” *M. Litvinoff declared, “and we are in agreement with all our western neighbors excepting Rumania, I have long been awaiting the arrival in Reval of the promised Rumanian dele- gate to draw up an agreement. “So far as the United States is con cerned, Russia still is awaiting a reply to the all-Russian soviets request that they be permitted to send a commis: sion there, as we could not consider a statement made in the newspapers as the reply due the governing body of the Russian nation.” M. Litvinoff said that as the United States seems to have made up itsmind that it does not wish to know the truth about Russia, it would be use- less to permit American newspaper correspondents to go to Moscow. If they wrote the truth they would not be believed and would be accused of making’ propaganda, he declared. “The effects of the British agree- ment already are showing,” M. Litvin. off said, “‘for the orders we have placed have created greater confidence. The meager poor facilities of Reval are congested by Russian imports and some ships are belng diverted to Riga, We will make whatever reforms Rus- sia needs to benefit the workingmen, but not at the dictation of a foreign power.” Anti-Blue Law League Formed PITTSBURGH, Pa., April 6.—The granting of a Delaware charter to the Anti-blue Law League of America, Inc., was announced here today by incorporators of the organization, all residents of Pittsburgh.
