"We can now state," he said, "that Swedish aid saved the Finn Army, especially in halting the Salla offend sive through Finland's waist line."
The Swedish Government is preparing for publication a list of all financial, military, and relief aid given Finland throughout the war.
One prominent military authority told the United Press that military supplies were furnished in such quantities that the Swedish Army reserve and even active equipment was almost exhausted. He added that "Sweden would have been in a diastrous military position if we had been involved in a war through intervention in Finland, due to the depletion of our stocks to help Finland." This was believed to be one of the basic factors determining the Government's policy in regard to the Russo-Finnish war.
It was reliably learned that Sweden gave almost double the amount of aid supplied by any other country to Finland.—United Press.
