Finland Hints

Finland last week hinted that it was ready to call it quits against Russia, cease being an unofficial Axis ally. Feelers in the Stockholm Dagens Nyheter and the Finnish press were followed by an official Finnish radio broadcast of newspaper editorials. The gist:

> In return for a post-war guarantee from the U.S., Finland might stop fighting.

> Finland wants to know more about U.S. aims for the protection of small democracies--by inference, protection from Russian designs.

> Finland wishes to point out that for six months the Finnish-Russian front has been practically idle; the Finns have merely "consolidated their defenses and assumed a stationary guard."
