CANNOT

LONDON
Finnish
Minister
to
Great
Britain
Gritfenburg
said
today
that,
unless
heavy
reinforcements
of
arms
and
ammunitions
were
sent
to
Finland,
the
defence
against
the
Russian
invasion
must
eventually
collapse,
resulting
in
possibly
the
greatest
massacre
and
persecution
in
history.
The
urgent
problem
of
Finland
was
the
lack
of
arms
and
ammunition
against
the
seeming
endicsj
Russian
supply.
"If
we
can
obtain
an
adequate
supply,
I
am
confident
Russia
will
never
conquer
our
country,"
Crtf-lenburg
said.
"Finland
will
fight
to
the
last
man
before
bowing
to
the
Soviet
republic."
A
reassuring
statement
from
British
government
quarters
was
that
steps
were
being
