chehlaff Molotoff, premier and
foreign commisar is scheduled

British-French
Front Rejected

described the British and French
• efforts to build a "peace front”
as insufficient and ineffective.

think how or whether they real

is why we must be vigilant and
must remember Stalin’s warning
about pulling chestnuts out of
the fire."
* Molotoff' spoke before the su
preme Soviet Parliament in the
great hall of the Kremlin, reject
ing the latest British-French of
fer as not going fair enough, es
pecially where the Baltic states
are concerned.
Molotoff intimated that trade
negotiations with Germany may
be resumed soon.
