Ribbentrop has a new anxiety on his mind in addition to the problem of his farcign policy—his two youngest children, Ursula, aged 6, and Adolf, aged 5.-

Sir Oliver Stanley will shortly be given a report on the real reasons behind the failure of the Soviet Army in Finland. It is being brought by Sir William Seeds, our Ambassador in Moscow, who is coming to London.

Sir William will also bring for the Government a report on the Russian people's reaction to the war, which is considered most important in view of the possibility that hostilities will be prolonged-and perhaps extended.
