FINLAND & THE WAR
COMMENT ON PEACE TALK WASHINGTON ATTITUDE. TWO GREAT PROBLEMS. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) NEW YORK, February 23. The “New York Times” Washington correspondent, commenting on the hope expressed by the Assistant Secretary of State, Mr Welles, that Finland will cease aiding Germany, says: “This statement is important, primarily because it is the first to be made in the United States since the Finnish elections and conceivably it might affect the composition of the Cabinet. At least it records the United States Government’s attitude after the election. “A belief in Washington that the Finnish people have been more for peace than their Government implies, a hope that the new Government will be more closely in line with the people's sentiments. “It is probably the United States rather than the Vatican which would
become an intermediary, sounding Moscow for peace terms, since Washington has already brought pressure to bear on Finland. The two great problems in Finland’s withdrawal from the war are the presence of the German divisions and also Finland’s dependence on Germany for food.”
