FOREIGN REPORTS

PEOPLE OF FINLAND LEFT WONDERING DISCUSSING SPATE OF RUMOURS. ORDER TO LAY DOWN ARMS. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 9 a.m.) HELSINKI, March 13. Groups of people stood in the streets this morning, eagerly discussing the spate of rumours. They were obliged to depend on foreign broadcasts for the news that their country had surrendered. The public were even unaware that Parliament was meeting and when the High Command ordered soldiers to lay down their arms at 11 a.m. it told civilians nothing. The Finnish radio strangely omitted the usual news bulletin and gave the people music.
