FINLAND: Finland gives an official answer to the US offers to mediate peace between Finland and the Soviet Union. Finland states that her war is defensive in nature, and the Finnish military efforts doesn't threaten the US interests. Finland can't fulfill the US demand to retreat behind the pre-1939 border, because such an act would undermine Finnish security. After giving this official answer, the Finnish FM Witting pays an unofficial visit to the US ambassador Schoenfeld. Witting states that Finland won't cut the Murmansk railway or advance to Archangel. All Finnish military operations from now on will be modest in nature. (Mikko Härmeinen)
