Passing of Second Reading of Bill by Finnish
Diet on Observation-Disclosures Of B ill Gre
ated Serious Crisis-Indignation Over Diets
Attitude

Petrograd, July 13-The Finnish diet
on Thursday passed the second reading
of a bill virtually establishing Finnish
Independence The introduction of the
bill has created a serious crisis here
and y. c. Toheidsc, president of the
Council of Workmcns and Soldiers
delegates. has gone to Helsingfore in an
effort TO settle the differences.
Train service on the Finnish railway y
was resumed Thursday. Great indigna-
ton prevails here at the attitude of the
Finnish Diet
An indication Of the seriousness of
the situation was a late sitting of the
Petrograd cabinet and a decision of
Premier Lvoff to summon back to the
capital the ministers who are now with
the army According to the Birzheviya.
NJ. Lvoff's socialist colleagues declare
themselves in principle in sympathy
with Finlands move. The premier and
other ministers belonging to the cabinet
party refuse. however to allow Finland
to determine her relations with Rus
sia, insisting she must wait until the
meeting Of the constituent assembly.
Comment Is Sharp
The comment of the newspapers in
Petrograd is sharp. The Reich declares
II is impossible for Russia to tolerate
Finland's move. The Birzheviya hints
at armed interference. saying Russia is
now about to make last attempt
toward peaceful settlement.
