The “New York Post” reports that the President of Finland, Field Marshal Mannerheim, is soon retiring and is being succeeded by General von Oesch. whose prestige was enhanced recently because he is credited with having saved Finland the necessity of fighting a summer campaign, arguing that it was useless to undertake operations in the north if Hitler failed in the south.
