Finnish Foreign Minister Voices Nations
Intention to Defend Its independence

the world. Thousands upon
thousands of Firms have crossed
over to America, driven by the
one great ideal of liberty. It is
an idea Finland was not able to
realize until a little over 20 years
ago, and in the treaty of peace
concluded with Russia, which
was not based on compulsion but
on the volition Of Finland as an
equal, the frontiers of an inde-
pendent Finland and the rela-
ton of the two states to each
other were determined.
This liberty is now threatened.
Everything we cherished most,
the liberty priced by every ma
ton is gone from us. The sphere
of liberty in the world shrinks.
Let us show ourselves also in this
case people with a sense of
reality That sphere of liberty
does not perhaps loom large
when seen from afar. But for us
it is everything and, so much we
are entitled to say, even from the
viewpoint of history, without the
rating of Importance that in ad-
dltion to the shrinkage in the
amount of liberty in the world,
the cultural development of the
world would suffer if the Fin
nish people are deprived of their
right to an Independent ex-
istence.
Will Not Refuse Part
In Peace Negotiations.
With these feelings and ideas
in my mind and repeating the
program announced by the for
mer government and its foreign
minister, that we threaten no
one and ask only that we are
allowed to live our own life in
peace. and utmost cooperation
with other nations. I took up my
duties as foreign minister of my
country. In the post to which
have been called, I have tried to
the best of all my ability to act
in such a manner that Finland,
which wishes to carry out works
Of peace, might, as soon as pos
sible, see her relations with the
Soviet Union become once again
peaceful.
I may repeat here what I said
yesterday to certain foreign cor
respondents. The Finnish gov
ernment will not refuse to take
part in negotiations for the
restoration of peace. Neverthe-
less, any one who believes that
the Finnish people can be
brought by the threat of force
and the terror launched to make
concessions that will amount in
reality to the loss of their inde-
pendence, Is mistaken. We shall
defend ourselves against such
forceful menace and we cannot
bring ourselves to believe the
civilized western world will not
find some means which are more
powerful than its invaluable SYM
pathy. When these means are
found, liberty-loving nations all
over the world can be certain
that Finland's independence will
be preserved and that the sphere
of liberty will not be threatened
by a shrinkage in this corner of
the world.

independence will be preserved and
that the sphere of liberty will not
be threatened by shrinkage in this
corner of the world"
Tanner spoke of the breakdown
of negotiations between Finland and
Russia, and declared the news the
Soviet Union had resorted to the
use of force - brought bitter dis
appointment - shared by the en-
tire nation
He termed "the struggle we are
engaged in symbolic struggle on
behalf of human justice.
"The forces at work are real. So
that in taking up my duties find
myself dealing with the solidest
realities. What I am referring to
is another important factor of force
in foreign politics, the influence of
which is felt even through the clash
Of arms.
Sympathy Is Real.
sThe sympathy shown for our
country by many nations is, in my
opinion. such a reality for as
we'll as confirming our confidence
in the justice of our case, the strug-
gle we are engaged in now, instead
of being only the fight of a small
nation for existence. it begins a
symbolic struggle on behalf OF hu-
man justice"
He described the bitter disap-
pointment" of the Finnish people at
the breakdown of negotiations be-
tween Russia and Finland, but he
asserted:
I'm spite of this disappointment,
the Finnish people still retain their
belief that justice will prevail in
the end and that the independence
and integrity of Finland cannot be
destroyed by the means to which
our eastern neighbor has resorted
these last days. This belief has
been powerfully present"

strict observance of traffic rules

He declared that individuals could
do two things to reduce accidents
First, by obeying traffic rules, they
could set an example for others;
and second, by parking their cars

help eliminate one of the hazards
for pedestrians.
The incentive for the present
safety campaign, Col Crawford de-
clared, was the record of 821 per-

years. OF these 821, Col. Crawford
