Hundreds of policemen, aided by 500 steel helmeted gendarmes and cara- binieri in full field equipment and bayoneted rifles, cordoned the streets around the Russian Embassy and dis- persed the demonstrators before they reached the Embassy. The students, however, declared that they would re- appear "after lunch" and dozens of plainclothes police were left on guard in the area of the Embassy.

FINLAND CHEERED

The manifestation started with a friendly demonstra- tion before the Finnish Legation when the Finnish Minister three times appeared on the balcony in response to wild cheering and cries of "May Finland win! Long live Finland!"

M. Jarnefelt made a brief speech of thanks in Finnish language which brought new ovation, after which the students commenced to march on the Russian Embassy to which reinforcements were rushed.

ENVOY'S RECALL UNLIKELY

SPECIAL TO THE “TELEGRAPH"

- WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 (UP). The recall of the United States Ambassador from Mon- cow, and the severance of re- Iations with Russin both appear to be remote, in view of authoritative indications that the Administration does not feel either action would prove an ad- vantage to the United States, or to world peace.

It has been slated by semi-official quarters that the United States will refuse to recognise the conquest ol Finland -If Bussia is victorious. afmilar to their refusal to recognise the

conquest of Manchukuo, Ethiopia, Austria, Czecho-Slovakia, Poland and Albania.

Effect Unsatisfactory

The "United Press" informant in- dicated that the Administration s dissatisfed with the results of the United States Ambassador's recall from Berlin, and pointed out that the only tangible result of this is in- erensingly bitter relations with Ger-

many.

He said the Administration must consider a long range foreign palley, and suggested that Mr. Steinhardt's recall would not only prove of no aid to Finland, but would also deprive the United States of their much need- ed diplomatic representation in Mos- cow. He expressed the belief that an Ambassator in Moscow will be desirable if and when peace returns.

Mr. Cordell Hall, Secretary of State, to-day told the press that one of two Amerlean countries have sug- geated that the 21 American countries should make joint statement con- demning Russia's invasion of Finland, He said it is not yet possible to say to what extent the suggestion will crystalise.
