FINLAND’S POSITION
UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER NOT POSSIBLE. STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, December 6. “I do not believe there is a single Finnish citizen in his senses who would consider that unconditional surrender is possible,” said President Ryti in a speech on the occasion of the twenty-sixth anniverary of Finnish independence. “We are surmounted with all difficulties and perils, and now we are asked to surrender unconditionally,” he said, t “The example of one unconditional surrender which we have witnessed offers us little inducement to follow it. The world knows that the Finns are tough runners, and long-distance races are won in the last half-mile.”
Among congratulations which Ry'i received was a telegram from Herr Hitler.
