Now Pross Attacks MOSCOW, Nov. 13 (Reuter)—The Soviet Press has taken up a new line in the attack on Finland.
It points out the high cost of Finland's mobilisation and claims that Finland is on the brink of ruin, and that it cannot stand the loancial strain for many more months.
The Soviet Press also accuses the} Finnish Government of not informing the Finnish Parliament of the true nature of the Soviet demands.
This is refuted by many official statements which have been releaseti, such as M. Erkko's observation that the Soviet demand for a Finnish Island was like demanding Sandy Hook from the United States or the Isle of Wight from England.
