Finland Surrenders Large Territory to Soviet Forces
The Spectator notes Finland capitulated after months of resisting Russian advances and losing a sizable land area plus a naval base. It argues Allied aid was unlikely and describes subsequent political uproar in France and England over intervention. A Palm Sunday weather outlook and Easter shopping trends are discussed along with progress in sub sub-stratosphere aviation and a Georgia political clash. The piece ends with a grim account of 100000 Finns fleeing after loss of land to the Soviets.
