Pravda Doubts
Finn Sincerity

London, Mar. GINS Pravda,
organ of the Communist party in
Russia, was quoted today as ex-
pressing doubt over Finnish sim
cerity" in Russo-Finnish peace ne
gotiations, amid rumors that peace
talks would be broken off this
week.
The Moscow radio quoted Prayda,
in a lengthy article, with the state
ment that the position taken by
the Finnish press regarding armis-
ice terms cannot fail TO cause
doubts regarding the sincerity of
the hopes OF Finnish ruling cir
cles for peace"
In a Stockholm dispatch, the
Daily Express declared that Hell
sinks delay in accepting Moscow's
six point peace offer was expected
to bring a break in negotiations
sometime this week.
From two neutral countries,
meantime. came reports of Bulgar-
ian moves toward peace, none Of
them confirmed.
The Daily Telegraph credited a
Swiss source with reports that
the Bulgars have communicated
to Moscow suggestions for terms
on which they would be prepared
to negotiate with the Allies.
The News Chronicle reported
from Ankara that a usually re-
liable source" asserted that Bull
garia's regents had ordered Prem
Ter Boshilov to take more mod
crate elements into the govern
ment who might be more accept
able to the Allies. The order was
described as amounting to an nj
timatum, expiring March 10.
