Old Frontiers No Longer
Are Sufficient for Securitu

NOV Britain proposes that Finland stop at her
L old frontiers-namey, those Of 1889.
What would this mean?
According TO the Finnish statement:
Important 1899 areas are still In the hands
Of the enemy.
These and areas BEYOND the said frontiers
have been utilized as bases for attack (upon
FinIand)
THE Soviet Union equipped these areas in the
completest manner possible for attacks westward

Continuance of Aggression
That Never Had Ceased

TT HIS not NEW aggression by Russia
Il against Finland or even RESUMPTION of
an old aggression, but a CONTINUANCE of an
aggression that had never ceased.
But in the meantime, Russia had herself been
attacked by Germany. And since Britain was also
at with Germany, the British government
copied the unpalatable but convenient fact Of
alliance with Russia.
Finlands position in this maelstrom of events
was unsought and repugnant.
IN ORDER TO GO ON FIGHTING FOR HER
LIFE AGAINST HER ENEMY OF MORE THAN
FIVE HUNDRED YEARS, SHE HAD TO OPPOSE
THAT ENEMY IN HIS NEW GUISE AS AN ALLY.
OF BRITAIN FOR WHOM THE FINNS HAVE AN
HISTORIC FRIENDSHIP AND WITH WHOM
THEY HAVE No SUSPICION OF A QUARREL.
Therefore, Finland was reluctant 10 even RE-
SYST attacks in these circumstances and, as the
Finnish statement recouns did not resort to active
defensive measures until the beginning of July.
The choice then being one of fighting for
life or OF succun,bing Without a fight, Finland
of course put up her weak arms as best she
could
And by virtue of the German pressure on Rus
STA, the Firms had a measure of success and re-
covered part of her own territories which Russia
had previously taken spos.

Firms FACTS Unmask Russia's Aim
To Blanket World With Communism

THE recent exchange Of messages be-
Il tween governments of Great Britain
and Finland had the effect of creating an
open rupture between two nations having
a traditional friendship and historic
bonds of sympathy and common interest.
The American reaction to this situa-
ton is naturally one of bewilderment and
shock.
These two great nations are not only
friends of each other, but friends of
OURS.
The United States has long had COR
dial relations with both-and in fact, in
the case of Finland has ALWAYS had
them.
Thus, sudden and apparently COM
plete estrangement of the two-with
every prospect of military conflict be-
tween them-occasions an acute interest
in American minds and actual distress as
we'll.
The question most often asked in the
United States is perhaps best phrased in
this manner:
WHAT HAS CAUSED SUCH A
VIOLENT ESTRANGEMENT BE-
TWEEN THESE TWO RESPECTED
FRIENDS?

cation.

CHURCHILL'S 1910 TRIBUTE
TO SUBLIME. FINLAND

The following is from a radio
broadcast by Winston Churchill in
January, 1910. and appears on page
215 of his book. Blood. Sweat and
Tears"
Only Finland - superb, nay sub
lime, in the jaws of peril-Finland
shows what free men can do.
The service rendered by Finland to
mankind is magnificent.
They have exposed, for all the
world to see, the military incapacity of
the Red army and of the Red air force.
Many illusions about Soviet Russia
have been dispelled in these few fierce
weeks of fighting in the Arctic Circle.

Historical Facts Should SerUe
To Clarity American Minds

TN THESE circumstances, there is compelling and
i poignant appeal in the conclusion Of the Finnish
declaration that:
Finland cannot understand how Great Britain
with whom Finland has wished and wishes to retain
peaceful relations could regard herself - merely
because Finland Is not this occasion alone in
fighting the Soviet Unon--as entitled, nay forced,
to treat Finland as open enemy"
The American people should find their minds
substantially clarified by the repetition OF these
historical facts.
The government Of Finland these and past
occasions evidenced desire to keep its place in
the respect and affection Of civilized nations
1t has demonstrated an especial intention TO
plead its case before the American people and 10
this end has attempted TO keep the irrefutable
facts Of its policy and plight from being obscured
by the inevitable turmoil and confusion and emo
tons Of a world at war.

Record Supports Contention
OF a Purely Defensive War

THE foremost of Finnish undertakings
L in this respect was to REFUTE the
assertion that Finland is conducting "an
aggressive war" against Russia.
1t recited the irrefutable record of
past events to support the contention that
Finland's conflict with Russia has at all
times been and is NOW purely DEFEN-
SINE.
"On November 30, 1889" Finland re-
minded Britain, the Soviet Union at

makes it abject and hungry in peace,
and proves it base and abominable in
war.
We cannot tell what the fate of
Finland may be, but no more mourn
fun spectacle could be presented to
what is left Of civilized mankind than
that this splendid northern race
should be at last worn down and re-
duced to servitude worse than death
by the dull british force of over
whelming numbers.
If the light Of freedom which still
burns so brightly in the frozen North
should be finally quenched, it might
well herald a return to the dark ages
when every vestige Of human progress
during 1000 years would be engulfed.

Peace With Russia Then
Vas Appalling to England

~ HE peace that Finland has made with Russia,
i 1t should be observed, was wholly undesirable
and even appalling to Great Britain British in
terests and policies were then defined.
1t confronted not just Finland, but the entire
European northlahd- including Norway and Sweden
with a powerful aggressive, ambitious and
tyranncal enemy.
These were FRIENDS of Britain which were
menaced.
1T WAS RUSSIA WHICH THEN HAD THE
open ALLIANCE" WITH GERMANY-AND
WHICH HAD IN FACT PRECIPITATED THE
EUROPEAN WAR BY CONSERVING AND PAR
TTCIPATING IN THE PILLAGE OF POLAND.
After this peace was concluded, against
Britains desire and interest the Finnish statement
continues
"A ruthless policy of extortion together with
interference in and penetration into Finands
political life from within instituted by the
Soviet Union.
"By these activities, account Of which Is
given in the bue-white book the Soviet Union
aimed at the same ultimate result of humiliation
of Finland rs 1t did by the armed aggression.
"On June %, 194l the armed forces OF the
Soviet Union again embarked upon hostilities which
included bombing from the air and on June %,
194l. hostilities developed into systematic and
extensive attack directed at tens of purely Finnish
targets"
