BRITAIN REFUSED TO BARGAIN
SECRETS OF MOSCOW FAILURE TO ACHIEVE A PACT
London, To-day.
IN THE LIGHT OF THE events of the last few days, the grave responsibility which lies on the Nazi Government for the invasion of Finland by So- viet forces becomes clearer in the opinion of well-informed quarters in London.
It is not doubted, in view of the available evidence, that the occupation of Finland; like that of the Baltic States, was insisted upon by Stalin before the conclusion of the Soviet-Nazi Pact last August.
It is believed, in short, that Hitler THREE NAZI
was prevailed upon by von Ribben- trop to agree in advance to this So- viet demand as part of the price for the Moscow Pact which the German | Foreign Minister calculated would re- sult in keeping Britain and France out of the war Hitler. was determined to loose upon Poland.

comes from the facts now disclosed
for the first time by authoritative cir- cles regarding the breakdown of the Anglo-French-Soviet negotiations.
Britain and France, it may be re- membered, had, for some months prior to the invasion of Poland, been trying to conclude with the Soviet Government a Pact intended to prove a deterrent to German aggression.
The course of their negotiations was kept secret.
It is now admitted, however, that the reason for their failure was the refusal of the French and British Governments to agree to Russian de- mands which would have endangered the infegrity of the Baltic States and Finland.
SOVIET "BARGAIN"
For instance, as part of their price for an alliance, the Soviet Govern- ment insisted that Britain and France should persuade Finland and the Bal- tic countries to put at the disposal of the Soviet Fleet, naval bases off the coast of
the Oesel and Dago and Aaland islands.
It is pointed out that Britain and France were not prepared to traffic in the sovereignty of small States. RIBBENTROP'S FEWER SCRUPLES Von Ribbentrop proved less scru-
sunk during the last week.
A Grimsby trawler, engaged in submarine hunting, is stated to have accounted for two off the East Coast. About one there was no possibility of error; it was sunk by depth charges; the second left huge patches of oil after it had been attacked with depth charges.
The captain of the British steamer, Stonepool, which was attacked by a U-boat, said that the German subma- rine was later destroyed by a British warship.-Reuter.
pulous.
It is interesting to recall now the anxiety displayed by Finland and the Baltic States at the time of the Anglo- French - Soviet negotiation lest any understanding should be reached which might compromise their sovereignty or neutrality.
The Nazi Government did its best to encourage such suspicions so long as it feared the conclusion of a Tri- partite Pact against aggression at Moscow, but did not hesitate to bar- ter away the independence of these States in return for Soviet acquies- cence in the attack on Poland, British Wireless.
