Background of Finnish Rift Amid U.S. Diplomacy Shocks Helsinki
Peter Edson analyzes the Finnish push to sow discord with the United States over Soviet Russia and Western Allied strategy. Washington’s expulsion of Minister Procope and aides reflects a broader anti-Nazi, pro-Soviet tension, with Finnish propaganda urging Germany to cede ground while Allies advance, aiming to split the Allies from the Soviet. The piece notes heavy Finnish anti-Russia sentiment and the long, cautious U.S. effort to remove Finland from the war, along with unrelated wartime data on Naval Air Transport Service, aviation fatalities, future aircraft production, North Carolina tungsten mining, and other industrial notes.
