First Expulsion in History Produced by Finnish Drive
The League of Nations expelled Soviet Russia for its invasion of Finland by a unanimous council vote with four abstentions. The action follows the assembly's condemnation of Russia as aggressor and invites non league members such as the United States to assist Finland. The council adjourned after the vote as Finnish forces withdraw under pressure. Russian troops shelled Salmijarvi as Finns retreated, leaving a rear guard to blow dynamite at nickel mines.
