SOVIET GOVERNMENT
DRIFT OF POLICY
"WISE TO RECONSIDER"
(British Official Wireless.)
(Received March 16, noon.)
RUGBY, March 15. Mr. Herbert Morrison, the Labour M.P., in a speech in London, said:—
"While the Soviet enjoys the congratulations of Nazi Germany, it has lost the sympathy of progressiveminded men and women throughout the world. The Soviet Government will be wise to reconsider the drift of its policy."
Mr. Morrison said that Sweden and Norway carried a share of the respon-, sibility for the peace which had been forced on Finland, for "they would not sufficiently dare in the cause of their neighbour's freedom." Their own security had been thereby weakened and their moral prestige lowered." The sooner that neutral States learn that their own future as well as ours is bound up with the result of this war the better." he added. '
