PLIGHT OF FINLAND
SECRET SESSION HELD LONDON, Feb. 9. The Finnish Government held a secret session last night to examine the threatened break in relations with the United States should Finland remain in the war, says the Geneva newspaper La Suisse, quoting a report from German diplomatic circles. The German-controlled Scandinavian Telegraph Bureau distributed a despatch from Helsinki in which a Finnish newspaper was quoted as saying: “It is high time we ourselves investigated peace terms. We must have the courage to discuss peace problems openly.” Another Finnish newspaper is reported to have said that the Finnish Foreign Office has no knowledge of a reported statement by an official of the Finnish Legation in Washington that Finland will not capitulate. Observers in Stockholm regard this as an indication that the Finnish Government does not want any responsibility for the statement.
