They asserted 1t was the British
governments view that Russia and
Germany are not military allies
now nor do they believe Russian aid
to Germany will extend beyond the
economic sphere.
Since Intervention in Finland by
the allies first was discussed 1t was

continue to supply Germany with oil
and wheat but on q greatly reduced
scale due to war losses.
