RUSSIA NOT SOLE TARGET
Blunt U. S. Words

Truman Moves

Railroad Walkout
By ALEX H. SINGLETON
WASHINGTON, March 7--
This country's newly-stressed em-
phasis on blunt talk in world af-
fairs has some American diplo-
matic officials worried lest the
policy appear aimed exclusively at
Russia.
Acknowledging their concern
' privately today, these officials
made a point of noting that the
| sting of frank words has been
felt in diametrically opposite
camps—that is, in Spain and Ar-
gentina, as well as in the Soviet
Union. , ..
These officials, who must
remain unnamed, said critics
of American foreign policy
should remember that Ameri-
can notes protesting Russia’s
plans in Manchuria and Iran
were preceded first by an in-
dictment of Argentine action
during the war and by a
