SOVIET COMMENT ON BREAKDOWN
Moscow, To-day.
News of the failure of the Finnish negotiations is to be conveyed to the Soviet public by a despatch from Helsinki to be published in to-day's newspapers.
The despatch states that the Finns are trying to blame the failure of the negotiations upon the Soviets, while the facts are that the Finnish ruling classes do not want an agreement with the Soviet.
Finnish official statements that an agreement is desired and that the conversations have only been tem- porary interrupted, are only meant to mislead Finnish public opinion, the Russians allege. Reuter.
