(By Telegraph—Pres3 Association—Copyright.)
NEW YORK, December 3.
The new Finnish Prime Minister, M. Ryti, in a broadcast throughout the United States, said that Finland will^jcontinue the struggle, however unequal. He denied that Finland had received in advance promises of aid or advice to fight. He said he was convinced that "whatever is our fate, through our fight and sufferings we are furthering the creation of a better world. In defending her own liberty Finland believes she is defending the liberty of nations not immediately threatened. "If Finland should perish it would be only because the civilised nations have not the necessary solidarity to enable protection of the weak from violence," he continued.. "Neutrals may not be allowed to be indifferent to the fate of other neutrals. Indifference of this kind would be digging the grave of nations which desire to build their existence on justice and respect -for laws, but whose means are inadequate to resist a superior invader."
