Elias Erkko, declared in a speech here this evening, "The support given Finland by other neutrals signifies that Finland cannot conclude an accord making possible use of her territory in a manner that she would not use it herself," he added, "She could not attach herself to any bloc of Powers which are unfriendly to any other State, Appreciation of this fact was proved at the Stockholm (Kings) Conference and by the support already given by President Roosevelt of the United States,"
Finland, the Foreign Minister continued, had seen difficult times in the pást and her present determination and courage showed that the country was more united than ever before, He explained the lack of official information on Finpish-Soviet parleys by the delicacy of the parleys themselves and said that it would be most dangerous should premature information be issued, "I cannot as yet give any details, but I can give the assurance that no decision will be taken," he pledged, "until the people and Parlament will have had an opportunity to consider the situation. and express their opinion, Rumours have been widely spread! about the demands on Finland. If most of them were true, they would tonstitute an act of aggression against us,"—Havas,
