FINNS DO NOT ATTACK.
NO SIGNS OF A RETREAT. SOVIET OBJECT NOT KNOWN. (United Tress Association-Copyright.) (Received This Day, 10.0 a.m.) LONDON, Rovemberr 30. The British United Press correspondent at Helsinki says that Russians are reported to have attempted to land at Hanko, but it is not known whether they were successful. The Finnish forces are remaining on the defensive and thus far have not attacked, although there are no signs of retreat anywhere.
It is not known whether the Rnssion attacks are designed simply to ■cover the seizure of disputed territories, after which there will be an offer of negotiated-, peace or whether Russia is determined to break Finland’s defences. The citizens of Helsinki calmly returned to work after the second air raid and the shops reopened.
