NEW YORK, June 24.-Hjalmar
j. Procope, Minister of Finland at
Washington, told a gathering of
more than 5000 persons at the New
York Worlds Fair today that his
country was determined to protect
her neutrality and independence.
Speaking in the Court of Peace
on a midsummer festival program,
he said:
Our country is unyieldingly de-
termined to protect her neutrality: /:
she does not want to become the
battlefield for other powers nor the
spring-board for other possible ag-
gressive nations.
Finland wishes to live her own
life in cooperation with other
nations, but no nation l1as ever
attained true independence without
heavy sacrifices.
AN automatic guaranty offered
by one or the other of her powerful
neighbors Germany and Russia
giving them rights toward Finland
without her own wish, is Q thing
Finland cannot accept.
