FEELERS FOR AN ARMISTICE EXTENDED BY NEW REGIME

Finland Prepared To Negotiate:

But Will

Defend Independence

While the invasion of Finland has reached an indeterminate stage where the enemy is being held without great. loss of life on either side, feelers for an armistice are being extended by the newly-formed government in Helsinki through the good offices of the Swedish ministry in Moscow.

At the same time, attempts are being made to assemble the League of Nations to consider Finland's case which has already been placed officially before the league.

M. Rytl, Finnish Premier, emphasised in a broadcast to the United States, that his government were prepared to negotiate to the utmost limit consistent with the nation's independence and the preservation of her neutrality to the major war.

In America and Italy the strongest feeling against Russia Is expressed. Denmark, Sweden and Norway are preserving a rigidly correct attitude in order not to provoke Soviet action against them, but their betrayal by Germany, who has a traditional interest in Scandinavia, is keenly felt,
