FINLAND'S SEVEN QUESTIONS Queries Put To Stalin On Treaty
Finns Agitation
Neutrality
For
Helsinki, Mar. 2.
Seven questions have been put to Marshal Stalin by President Juho Paasikivi, of Finland, about the proposed treaty of mutual military assistance and friendship.
They include:
What obligations would the proposed pact impose on the Finnish armed forces, already reduced by the peace treaty?
What effect would the pact have on public opinion? Would the pact improve or impair relations be-
tween the two countries?
How would the pact affect the peace treaty?
