The former Foreign Minis—ter made the statement in answer to the assertion of the Soviet official mews agency, Tass, that Finland would soon capitulate on account of economic difficulties. He discounted the possibility of Soviet Navy interference with Finnish trade.
The leader of the Finnish delegation said the situation resembled the Russo-Turkish outlook. He explained that during the Russo-Finnish talks a friendly agreement had been reached on many points, but said the con-forees had decided to consider the problem as a unit—several points could not be solved and "since then the affair has reverted to the status quo."—United Press.
