American government to mediate
in the present crisis. Germany,
according to the press, is still
willing to have peace but can
not wait forever"
Finland On Spot
Norway, Sweden and Denmark
are anxiously awaiting the out
come of compromises offered by
a Finland representative to
Soviet Russia, which is said to
have placed an ultimatum before
Finland. Conferences were held
today and others are scheduled
for tomorrow.
On Finland's borders its army
of 100000 men have been mobil-
lied and will be led by its presi-
dent in the event the Russian
negotiations fail. Russia has
been making gains in the Baltic
in the wake of the European
crisis by forcing smaller coun-
tries to allow it to establish
military and naval bases in the
Baltic Sea. Indications are that
Germany is allowing this in re-
turn for important supplies
which Russia will ship her.
