Finnish Bill Sets Finland on Road to Independence
The Finnish diet passed a second reading on a bill that would establish Finland’s independence a day after warning Russia. The move triggered a crisis as leaders split over relations with Russia, with Helsinki reporting the law would entrust Finland with most prerogatives of government while Russia’s authority would shrink to diplomacy and military matters. A senate named Idle Wives was planned, and reactions from Finland’s leaders and workers’ delegates grew heated.
