u. ). Ready 10 Resume
Relations With Firms,
Byrnes Announces

The United States is ready to re-
sumo diplomatic relations with Pin
land, an old friend with which this
country broke last year after months
of vainly trying to persuade the
Firms to stop helping Nazi Germany
by fighting Russia.
Finland took the first step toward
regaining American friendship when
she dropped out of the war last
September and followed up by es-
tablishing democratic government
through elections last spring.
Secretary of State Byrnes an
nounced last night that reports of
the Finnish elections had convinced
this Government that they were
freely conducted" and expressed
the democratic wishes of the Fin
nish people" This leads the United
States to welcome re-establishment
of diplomatic relations, he added.
Concern Over Trends.
Satisfaction with the elections in
Finland was in sharp contrast with
American concern about trends in
other parts of Europe.
Only last Saturday Mr.. Byrnes
warned that the United States does
not regard the current Bulgarian
government as representative and
does not believe democratic elec-
ton is assured by plans for early
voting there.
He announced earlier yesterday
that this country will send a COM
mission to Greece to work with Brit
ish and French representatives in
helping to secure the free ex-
preston by secret ballot of the will
of the Greek people" in forthcom-
ing elections there.
Entering Wedge.
His announcement disclosed that
Russia had found itself unable to
accept an invitation to participate
in assisting the Greek elections
This jolted hopes of Russian CO.
operation with the other major
Allies to assure free elections in
other European countries.
1t was believed that Russia would
use its dissent from the four-power
assistance plan in Greece as a prece-
dent to ban any similar proposals
for future elections in countries
where Soviet influence is doni-
notwithstanding Bulgaria, Poland
Romania, Hungary and Yugoslavia
Russia was said to have declined
to assist in Greece on grounds OF
disappearing supervision" of ma
tional elections by foreign govern
ments. American officials empha-
sized. however. that the Allied COM
missions would not control the elec-
tions, but merely would serve as
observers and assist the Greek gov
ernment.
