Talk Peace
Moscow Meeting Planned by Swedish, American Initiators
COPENHAGEN, March 10— (U.P.)—The Finnish premier and three colleagues faced Russian negotiators tonight in Moscow and the ear of every > diplomat in Europe was
stretched to hear what was being said in the Red capital’s conference rooms.
On the fate of Finland depended so many of Europe’s problems that no quarter of the con- I tinent was not concerned with the peace debate which, it was learned today, has already been through several sessions since the Finnish ! representatives left for Moscow Wednesday.
