The news of the ultimatum was reported first without confirmation from Copenhagen and later was confirmed by a Moscow radio broadcast. However, the Helsinki correspondent of the British United Press reports that the so-called ultimatum hour, 3 a.m., passed without incident. The Finns assert that no ultimatum had been delivered.
