SICK OF THE WAR
Finns Robbed To Clothe Germans
LONDON. Jan. 1
"Finland is being goaded by the Nazis to continue her opposition against the Prussians and she is being stripped of all available warm clothing to equip Hitler’s army,” declared Sir Graeme Lockhart, who returned to Britain to join the Army after 18 months in Sweden. "Over a year ago, when I visited Finland. conditions were appalling. Starvation and disease were sweeping the country and a large percentage of the n.-npower had been destroyed. Civilians were living on black bread and porridge. Meat was unobtainable. The Finns are thoroughly sick of war, but they cannot withdraw. What conditions are like in Helsinki to-day I cannot imagine.’’
