WILL NOT BE A WALK-OVER. DECLARE MILITARY EXPERTS
London, To-day.
"THE SOVIET INVADING armies will have numerical and material advantages over the Finnish defenders but in the country of lakes and forests defended by a force of 600,000 intelli- gent patriots it will not be a walk-over for the at- tackers," says Reuter's military correspondent who points out that many of the Finnish reser- vists are battle-scarred veterans.
RINTELIN MAKES GRIM PROPHECY
London, To-day.
A prophecy that, by next Spring, Russia would be in possession of the whole of Scandinavia was made by Capt. von Rintelen, who was an intelligence officer on the German naval staff during the last war.
Speaking in London, Capt. Rintelen said that he was at a loss to under- stand why the Finns put up resistance against something, which could not be. resisted.
There were about half a million troops concentrated on the northern frontiers to the east of Finland, and
The Finns are robust and hardy; Finnish athletes are world famous and the Finns have been military- minded people for as many centuries as the British.
"It is these qualities of physical fitness combined with industry and determination to defend their liber- ties which has gained the Finns so much prestige in the United States.
"The fact that Finland paid its war debt in full was of small im- portance compared
with Its manhood and ideals."
HOW OTHERWISE? The correspondent adds that part of the establishment of Finland's army is a corps of women similar to Terri- Britain's Women's Auxiliary
torial Service.
They act as cooks and nurses and
wear a becoming grey uniform.
The correspondent concludes: Rus- sia has proclaimed that the occupa- tion of Finland is not her intention but how otherwise could she impose her will upon such a virile 'people?- Reuter.
by next Spring, Russia would possess the Scandinavian countries, none of which were tied by alliances to any of the great Powers. Reuter.
