FINLAND BREAKS WITH BRITAIN
Severe German Pressure By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright (Rec. 6.30 pjn.) LONDON, July 29. Finland has decided to break off diplomatic relations with Britain. The diplomatic correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph” says that Finland’s decision obviously taken under severe German pressure, has relieved Britain of a delicate and unpleasant task.

It has been possible to maintain an anomalous position in the last few weeks because Finland emphasises that she was not an active belligerent.
