Finland seeks fifty million loan to buy arms
Washington dispatch reports Finland sought a fifty million dollar loan from the United States to purchase war material for use against Soviet forces. Finnish officials reportedly spoke with congressional leaders after failing to secure Wall Street funds. Some legislators indicated Finland felt pressure to obtain strong support to counter Russia, while Reconstruction Finance Corporation had recently lent ten million for non war materials via the Finnish American Trading Corporation led by Finnish envoy Hjalmar Procope. The proposal faced questions and no definite stance due to complex issues and policy principles.
