HOPES FADING
IN SCANDINAVIAN STATES NO WORD FROM KREMLIN. PASSAGE FOR TROOPS SOUGHT BY BRITAIN. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 10.40 a.m.) STOCKHOLM, March 12. Scandinavian hopes of a Rus-sian-Finnish armistice are slowly fading, as no word is issued from the Kremlin. Britain asked Sweden and Norway cp. March 2 what their attitudes would be if troops from the Allies crossed through their countries to Finland. Sweden and Norway replied that such tin act would be contrary to neutrality and might occasion the use of armed force, according to the “Svenska Dagbladet.” The "Social Demokraten” has appealed for more Swedish volunteers for Finland, expressing the view that Mr Chamberlain’s speech indicated that Britain considers that the Finns are unable Io accept the Russian proposals. “II the proposals arc similar to lhe demands made before the war. we do not sec how Finland can conclude an honourable peace and we must continue to help Finland as much as possible." the newspaper adds.
