Finland Will be Loser No Matter Who Wins
LONDON, Nov 7.
The State Department has released particulars of the conversations in which the United States transmitted to Finland information regarding the Soviet peace terms.
On August 18, the Assistant-Secretary of State, Mr. Sumner Welles, told the Finnish Minister, M. Procope, that the United States Government had been informed that the Soviet was prepared to negotiate a new treaty of peace ingiving territorial concessions from Russia to Finland. •
Mr. Welles told M. Procopc that Finland would be the loser, regardless of whether Russia or Germany won, if Finland insisted on continuing the fight, because Germany would either be the overlord of all Europe, with Finland as a vassal State, or Finland would be aligned with the defeated Power. The Secretary of State, Mr. Cordell Hull, told M. Procope that the United States was ready to expend 75,000-mil-lion dollars on resisting and suppressing Hitler.
