Wednesday, March 13, 1940 From Moline Dispatch FINN PARLIAMENT WEIGHS RUSSIAN PEACE TERMS FIGHTING ENDED: PEOPLE SHOCKED OVER PRICE PAID. FOREIGN MINISTER TAKES RAP AT DEMOCRAT'S FAILURE TO SEND ASSISTANCE. TWO MINISTERS QUIT JOBS REDS GAIN MORE GROUND THAN THEY HAD SOUGHT BEFORE INVATION STARTED. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Helsinki, March 331 -(R)- Weary Finland lacking weapons and skeptical of foreign offers of help, ended her bitter 31/2 months struggle against Soviet Russia today by yielding more soinl and economic and military independence than demanded before the war. At 11 A.M. the dogged courageous Finish army stopped fighting and a gloomy peace settled over the battlefields. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Everyone herer feels very keenly that terrible thing tha has been done to Finland. Probably England & France could not do much as the moment they went thru Norway & Sweden, Germany would go over there with troops to try to stop them reaching Finland. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dinner at the Henry Lord's The Stones & Ramsey there too.
