SOVIET OFFERS NO
EXCUSE FOR INVASION
London, To-day.
THE SHOCKING DEVELOPMENTS in Finland oc- cupied the attention of the House of Commons at question time yesterday almost to the exclu- sion of other matters.
The Finnish attitude from the outset, said the Prime Minister in a statement, was unprovocative to an extreme degree. The Finnish Note which was delivered in Moscow immediately prior to the rupture of relations was very conciliatory in character and proposed to submit the dispute to arbitration.
Mr. Chamberlain recalled that for some time past an exchange of views had been proceeding between the So- viets and Finland on questions, main- ly of a strategical character raised by the Soviets.
The Russian Government had ap- parently expressed some apprehension at the proximity of Leningrad to the Finnish frontier (Some Laughter) which, indeed, was only twenty miles distant, and a proposal was made for the re-alignment of this part of the frontier in exchange for territory in compensation further North.
FURTHER CLAIMS
A claim was also made for the ac- quisition of certain Finnish islands in the Gulf of Finland and for a Finnish port at the entrance to the Gulf in order to assure the position of the So- viet Union in the Gulf.
A further claim is believed to have been made for the Finnish side of the und Rybachi Peninsula, overlooking dominating Finland's sole arctic port,
Petsamo.
BRITISH CONCERN
On Tuesday night, the Soviets, despite the Finnish attitude, which was well-known, denounced the So- vict-Finnish Non-Aggression Pact which was expressly designed to ensure a settlement of all disputes like this peacefully,
His Majesty's Government observed these developments with increasing
concern.
They found it difficult to believe that strategical measures of such scope and importance attributed to the foreign" press that a Sovlet attack on Finland was intended. Yet, a few hours afterwards, So- viet forces invaded Finnish territory on several sections of the frontier, dropped incendiary bombs on aerodrome in the neighbourhood of Helsinki, and later were reported to have bombed Helsinki, Viborg and other centres with loss of life.
an
NO JUSTIFICATION His Majesty's Government warmly welcomed the offer of mediation by Mr. Cordell Hull since, in their opin- The attitude of the Finnish Govern-ion, the questions at issue were not ment from the outset was unprovo- cative (cheers) though governed by a determination to do nothing to impair the country's sovereign status.
It is known that on Wednesday, the Finnish Government proposed to submit the questions to arbitra- tion and offered, In the meanwhile, to withdraw their troops from the Finnish frontler in the Karellan lathmus, with the exception of the ordinary frontier guards and Customs officers.

of a nature to justify resort to mili- tary measures (cheers):
They deeply regret this attack up- on a small, independent nation.
At the conclusion of the Prime Minister's statement, Mr. Attlee ask- ed whether the Government had re- ceived from the Soviets any statement what appeared to of reasons for
completely indefensible act be a of unprovoked aggression.
