Nazi Attempt to Stampede Scandinavians
WORKING THE BOLSHEVIST BOGEY Received Sunday, 6.30 p.m. NEW YORK, Oct. 14. The New York Times correspondent (Mr. G. E. R. Gedye) in a message from Moscow says that there is ample evidence that the Nazis are using the Bolshevist bogey in an attempt to harness at least the Scandinavians to the Nazi peace chariot. The most flagrant example is the German broadcast suggesting that Russia demanded the surrender of the Aaland Islands. The Russian proposals do not mention the Aalands, which explains why the Finns have allowed it to bo known that the demands although grave can be discussed. The German propaganda is clumsy, but is having some effect on the Scandinavians who are bombarded with suggestions that unless they induco the Allies to suspend military operations all Scandinavia will soon be overrun with bolshevism. BERLIN, Oct. 14. The Official Agency announced that Finland “approved of Moscow’s suggestions and negotiations are now able to be continued.”
