took
a
final
serious
turn

when

the
Russian
hteh
command
ordering
the
army
and
the
navy
to
hold
itself
in
readiness
for
instant
orders
to
action.
Announcement
of
the
breaking
off
of
diplomatic
relations
was
made
in
a
radio
address
by
Foreign
Commissar
V.
M.
Molotoff.
Shortlv
previous
the
Finnish
ambassador
to
.Moscow
had
been
notified
and
handed
his
passports.
Meantime
huge
movements
of
troops
and
Russian
air
force
planes
were
being
made
to
the
Finnish
frontier
and
several
Russian
warships
departed
from
their
bases,
presumably
for
Finnish
waters.
The
warships
had
been
exercising
in
the
vicinity
of
Finnish
islands
which
Russia
desires
for
air
and
naval
bases.
In
his
radio
address.
Foreign
Commissar
Molotoff
declared
that
Russia
had
no
desire
to
violate
Finland's
independence
or
her
territorial
integrity.
To
say
otherwise
was
"vile
calumny"
on
Soviet
intentions.
The
hostile
policy
of
the
present
Finnish
government
had,
however,
made
it
imperative,
Molotoff
declared,
for
Russia
to
take
steps
to
keep
her
security
inviolate
and
to
protect
her
own
national
safety,
particularly
with
respect
to
the
port
of
Leningrad.
Finland
had
taken
an
irreconciliable
attitude,
said
Molotoff,
who
suggested
Finland
was
acting
in
the
interests
of
foreign
imperialists
and
war
mongers.
Russia
could
no
longer
tolerate
the
present
situation.
"Russia
only
wishes
to
liberate
Finland
from
its
own
regime,"
.Molotoff
asserted.
Dictator
Joseph
Stalin,
in
an
article
published
during
the
day
in
the
newspaper
Pravda,
placed
the
blame
for
the
European
war
squarely
on
the
shoulders
of
Great
Britain
and
France.
