In an impassioned address, not long after the powers met to adopt a collective means of stopping at tacks on neutral vessels, Maxim Litzinoff of the Soviet Union cried: “The Soviet government cannot allow anyone to destroy its state property.” He linked these words with a thinly veiled accusation of Italy as “the pirate government." Everyone, he said, .knew whom he was talking about. Russia already has accused Italy, directly, of sinking two of her ships. The Soviet representative did say Russia was ready to take part in collective measures against the pirates—that she was confident the measure would be * “effective and immediate.” But, he served notice, “the So viet Union cannot remain inactive in hope that its immediate rights may perhaps be defended by other states or international organiza tions.” Standard Drug To Install New Front Continued improvement and re modeling of business houses loca ted in the Sunset Avenue district wps noted this morning when con tractors commenced work on re modeling the exterior of the Stand ard Drug store.
