Daily War Survey (By The Canadian P1188) The longer the Russo-Finnish war continues the closer it becomes to merging with the larger conflict be- tween Great Britain and France 0n one hand and Germany 0B ‘he other. The fact that the fundamental moral issue raised by Russia's inva- sion oi Finland is the same as that raised by Ge 's invasion oi Poland outweighs the fact that neither the Allies nor Germany have any direct material interest in the status of Finland. so far as they are concerned. leav- ing aside possible long-range imp- periaiistic ambitions on the part oi Germany it matters little whether Finland remains independent or be- comes another membei- oi the Union oi Soviet socialist Republics. The most militant expressions o! Allied symlpathy for Finland come from France. Yesterday the French radical socialist party to which Premier Daladier belongs and which is one o1’ the principle political groups supporting the Daladier government, went on record with an outspoken declaration. It called upon the French gov- ernment to do all necessary to per- mit Finland to continue the fight and win. and said: "The deiinit de- feat of the Soviet aggression against Finland will hurt our enemies in their military power as well as in prsetlge." It is no secret that the Germans are annoyed and a bit. perturbed by the trend oi’ the Russo-Finnish fight or that many Germans enter- tain lively sympathies for Finland. Certainly the continuance of the war with the employment of ever larger Rusian air and land forces will interfere with German plans to obtain supplies from Russia with which to support themselves in a 101cc war under conditions oi block- a e_ ._i___________ UNUSUAL BEDFELLOWS DONDON-(OE-A Quaker board- lna school "somewhere in England" is sharing quarters with a Roman Catholic School.
