The cabinet session was ordered

With Germany, the Soviet Union
has concluded treaty, so from that
side no threat can be expected and
1t ought to be regarded as out of
the question that western powers
should, be able to send into the
Baltic such a strong fleet as could
force its way past the Soviet naval

Whereas section IL of the Joint

Delegation From HeIsinki
Meets Soviet Leaders
Again at KremIin
- the Associated Press.

MOSCOW, Nov. 4-For the Sec
ond time in two days the Finnish
delegation was closeted with Soviet
leaders at the Kremlin tonight but
official silence cloaked the result of
the vital negotiations.
A breakdown in the conference
which had been feared In some for
eign quarters apparently. had been
averted, since it was learned re-
liably that the negotiations would
be continued
Indicative of the importance of
the talks was the presence Of Joseph
Stain at today's one-hour session.
Foreign observers searched vainly
for any information which might
indicate whether the Russian army
might march into Finland as it did
into Poland or whether Finland
would relent and accede to Russian
demands for concessions in Finland
and Finnish waters.
An agreement based on Soviet
demands would give the Russians
wide concessions In the Gulf of Fin
land. in the Baltic and in Finland
itself, while smashup of the ne
gotiations might involve Russia and
Finland in a war into which other
Scandinavian states possibly would
be drawn.
Some foreign observers were in
clined to the belief that Sweden
might be next in the list of Baltic
nations called to the Kremlin II the
Soviet Union reaches an agreement
with Finland.
Sweden's foreign policy was sharp
ly criticized by Pravda. organ of
the Communist party, which assert
ed that Swedish politicians act on
the orders of their bosses in the
west" in supporting Finnish resist
ance to Soviet demands.
The Swedish newspaper Dagens
Nyheter, answering the criticism by
Pravda, said that mo one outside
Sweden directly or indirectly in
f1uences Swedish press opinions on
the Russian-Finnish situation" The
paper added that it is q leading
principle of the northern states neu-
trality policy to accept no orders
from any quarters.
Sweden is convinced" 1t said,
shat Finland aims at good relations
with the U. S. S. r. and Is willing
to give obvious proofs"
In Oslo, Norway, the newspaper
Aftenposten, commenting on Prav-
da's attack on Finland, said, Rus
sian arguments in support Of de-
mands on Finland constitute a rec
ord in hypocrisy-eveni in 1889"
