FINLAND & SOVIET
EVERY HOPE OF PRACTICAL SOLUTION EXPRESSED IN HELSINKI NORWAY STRENGTHENING DEFENCES. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. LONDON, October 17. The Helsinki corespondent of the British United Press says that Dr Passikivi, who lately returned from the visit to Moscow, today conferred with Foreign Office chiefs, to whom he submitted the Russian proposals. The Foreign Office spokesman later announced that there is every hope of a practical solution. Finland is interested in a report that Norway is reinforcing her northern frontier adjoining Finland, since this border is closer to Russia than is Sweden's. While the Narvik railway terminus for Swedish iron exports is vitally important to Norway, the British Navy had closed this area to the Germans while keeping it open for British.
