Statistics on Finland's military
strength from the best available
sources indicate that while the little
Baltic country might be able tempo
rarily to hold off Russian invasion
by land she would fall quick prey to
an assault from the sea and by air.
At best, Finland could mobilize an
army of about 100000 men, about
half of which would be trained and
we'll equipped.
Against a powerful array of Rus

of submarines Finland could muster
only two small defense vessels, 5
submarines, 6 gunboats, 81 mine
sweepers. 6 mine layers and 10 pa

This naval force, striking across

Pravda's attack upon Premier
Cajander was based largely upon his
speech last Thursday in Helsinki, 10
days after the breakdown of Fin

meeting Russian demands. Finland
! he said, was ready to resume nego-
tiations at any time. but only on a
basis mot implying violation of her
vital interests"
Acceptance of Russian territorial
demands would virtually have cut
Finland off from the Arctic and
would have given the Soviet. among
other concessions. the right to estab-
lish naval bases in the Gulf of Fin
land and on Finnish islands. In
return, Russia offered a piece OF
