London, To-day. The need for supporting Fin- land and doubts about the report- ed "peace terms” are expressed in British newspapers which ment on the Russo-Finnish nego- tiations.

com-

The "Daily Telegraph" says the Soviets may well be eager to cut their losses and save Nazi-ism from starving for supplies which it can never obtain while the Red Army is fighting. ́ ́

In such conditions, the free. countries are all the more bound to give Finland what it needs for victory.

"The Times" says that what- ever the peace terms may be, it should be put beyond doubt that, in fighting or negotiation, Finland will have a resolute back- ing.

"The Daily Mail" comments that any peace promoted by Ger- many will be a peace of defeat for Finland.

The "News Chronicle" says that if the Scandinavian countries persist in their determination not to throw in their lot with Finland and not to allow regular help from other countries to pass through their territory, Finland may be forced to accept terms which will jeopardise her future independence.

If Finland has accepted Russia's terms, says the "Manchester Guardian," she will be at Rus- sia's mercy in the same way that Czechoslovakia was at Germany's mercy after she had had to sur- render the Sudeten defensive ring.-Reuter.

London, To-day. A warm welcome is given to Mr. Sumner Welles by the news- papers.

The "Daily Telegraph" says: "He was assured before he came that the British Government would take him fully into their confidence and he can have no doubt of his welcome in this country."

"The Times" comments: "He could not have arrived at a better moment for seeing what complexi- tles European politics look like from the standpoint of London. «

"The air through which he flew from Paris on his fact-finding mission to become our welcome guest can never have been fuller of rumours and reports as well as authenticated news."

The "Daily Mall" says: “Britain welcomes Mr. Sumner Welles. He is among the friends and sym- pathisers. Sympathisers because there is in Europe so much to ob- serve and so little profit at the mo- ment from the observing."

The "Daily Express" declares that Britain is glad to see Mr. Welles who will be given every facility while he is in Bri- tain.-Reuter.
