PLEA TO RUSSIA
TO SUSPEND HOSTILITIES DOOR STILL OPEN. FINNS WILL FIGHT TO END. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day. 12.25 0.m.) HELSINKI. December 15. M. Tanner, in a broadcast, pleaded for M. Molotov to suspend hostilities and resume negotiations on the Russian principles of self-determination for the rights of small peoples. He recalled that Russia broke off negotiations, refused the United States’ offer of mediation, rejected Swedish overtures and flatly spurned the League of Nations. He said: "The door is still open but if Moscow aims to complete the conquest of my country, Finns will fight to the end. The war will be fierce and will demand many victims."
