Abstract

The Shape of Things
February 6, 1943 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses international relations. The Finnish government, it is reported, has proposed d a Finnish-Swedish alliance. The Helsinki's intention cannot be mistaken. As the Soviet Union advance continues, hope of Finnish victory disappears. Finland, therefore, must make defensive treaties-against whom? Some commentators have pointed out the danger from Germany; yet Sweden surely could not be of much assistance against the Reich. Other commentators, remembering that in 1940, Moscow strongly objected to Finland's attempt to form a Baltic alliance, have suggested that the proposed pact would be one way of winning some anti- Axis support should the Soviets prove vindictive. Peace is in the Finnish air.
