HELP FROM SNOW
SUCCESS OF FINLAND MEN OF GREAT HEART “If the «nOw helps in April the war is won for Finland,’ said Dr Halliday Sutherland, the author, and a brother of Mrs D. Allison, of Horahora, in a talk to the Christchurch Rotary Club. Dr Sutherland was in Finland in 1937. He said that if the Finnish Army could hold out until the snow it would have the victory. “It is a heartening spectacle for the rest of the world to see these brave people Fighting against a regime that is to them a beast,” the speaker said. “I think we could alter the phrase of the Middle Ages, ‘the heart of a lion, to ‘the heart of a Finn’.”
