WILL SWEDEN GO TO AID OF FINNS?
FURTHER CONSCRIPTS CALLED TO COLOURS
.Received Dee. 4, 11.5 p.m. STOCKHOLM, Dec. 4. The Svenske Dagbladet says: “The urgent question is whether Sweden should immediately and effectively aid Finland. The alternative might be that Sweden will have to face Russian demands alone if Finland is conquered.” The Swedish Cabinet to-night decided to call up further conscripts and reservists in addition to the large contingents involved in yesterday’s calling-up. Cabinet also cancelled discharges due to conscripts already serving. An indignant mob smashed the windows of the Communist newspaper Nydag and attempted to storm the Russian Legation, but were headed off by the police. Churches observed two minutes’ silence for prayers for Finland.
