Finland Not Isolated

Helsinki, Mar. 23.

"Finland will not allow herself to be isolated," the Swedish People's party organ "Svenska Pressen" said in an editorial today on the scheme for a Scandinavian defensive alliance.

"Finland is not a Baltic but a Nordic country and has defended the liberty of the Nordic countries" the newspaper pointed out.

Finnish quarters did not quite understand Berlin's stand by Moscow in opposition to the Scandinavian alliance. Any weakening of Finland's position, they asserted, would be prejudicial to Germany.—Havas.
