APPEAL TO MOLOTOV
FINNISH MINISTER
SUSPEND FIGHTING
THE AIMS OF MOSCOW
(Received December 16, 12.30 p.m.) LONDON, December 15. The Finiwsh Foreign Minister (Mr. Tanner), in a broadcast, pleaded with the Soviet Prime Minister (M. Molotov) to suspend hostilities and resume negotiations on Russia's principles of selfdetermination and the rights of small peoples. He recalled that Russia broke off negotiations, refused the offer of the United States of mediation, rejected the Swedish overtures, and flatly spurned the League of Nations. "The door is still open, but if Moscow aims at the complete conquest of my country, the Finns will fight on to the end," sadd Mr. Tanner. "The war will be fierce and will demand many victims."
