>In addition, the Soviet Government compelled Finland, inter alia, to construct a continuation, linking up with the Finnish railways, of a railway laid from the Murmansk railway to the Finnish frontier to provide the Soviet Union with a convenient access to Northern Finland and onward to the Atlantic. The peace terms also included the occupation of Hango, which was to serve the Soviet Union as a naval base, but where, immediately after the conclusion of peace, a strong garrison with tanks [and] other equipment was stationed.[Page 92]
From Hango air attacks are still being launched on the cities and civilian population of southern Finland. Hardly had the peace of Moscow been concluded, before the Soviet Union presented new unjustified demands, inter alia compelling Finland to permit transit traffic on her railways to Cape Hango at the rate of two pairs of Russian trains per day. The Finnish authorities had not the right to inspect these trains. The Soviet Union also interfered in an unscrupulous fashion with Finnish domestic affairs and attempted to organize street demonstrations. The Soviet Union established a Legation in Helsinki with a staff of 150 persons, a large proportion of whom were active in purely espionage work. The Soviet Union forbade the fortification of the Aaland Islands,67 and compelled Finland to submit to the opening in a city68 in these islands of a consular office with a staff of 40 persons. A corresponding consular office was founded for purposes of espionage also in Petsamo.
Also, poor little Finland was merely defending itself:
>The character of Finand’s struggle is not altered by the circumstances that, on the grounds of her natural views of her own security, Finland is striving to render innocuous and to occupy the enemy’s offensive positions also beyond the 1939 frontier. Precisely the same considerations would have made it urgently necessary for Finland, in the interests of the effectivity of her defense, to undertake such measures already in 1939–40 during the first phase of the war, if only her strength had then been equal to the task.
>The population of the areas beyond the 1939 frontier now occupied by Finnish troops, areas which have been under Bolshevist administration for 23 years, has been and is for by far the most part Finnish. Depending on historical circumstances part of the Finnish nation has been left to live outside of the frontiers of Finland, and the areas in question belong to the dwelling areas of just this part of the nation. In connection with the peace of Tartu in 1920, the Soviet Government promised to guarantee this Finnish population considerably wide rights of national self-determination, which promises she has meanwhile left unfulfilled.USA has declared Finland to be the aggressor in 1941:
>The Government of the United States has intimated that it must hold Finland responsible for not even having attempted to explore the possibilities of peace held out by the information given by Mr. Sumner Welles on August 18, 1941 to the Finnish Minister in Washington.USSR was willing to cede territory for peace with Finland, proving USSR's peaceful intentions in regards to Finland:
>According to the information in the possession of the Finnish Government, Mr. Welles stated in the conversation that took place between him and Mr. Procopé on the said date, that he had been asked to convey to the knowledge of the Finnish Government that ‘the Soviet Government would be disposed to make territorial concessions and negotiate a new peace treaty’. USA in no uncertain terms demanded from Finland to sue for peace in August 1941:
>In the view of the Finnish Government, Mr. Welles’ statement to Mr. Procopé on August 18, 1941 was not intended as an offer of peace by the Soviet Union or as an offer of mediation or even a recommendation[Page 96]
on the part of the United States, but merely as a piece of information on the basis of which Finland was to sue for peace. In the circumstances the Finnish Government, at that stage of the military operations, when even Viipuri had not yet been taken, continued to await the development of events.
Poor little Finland was denied the modern Ukrainhood by USA:
>It is almost inconceivable that the great American democracy can demand of a small nation which has again been attacked by its 50 times bigger neighbour and is fighting for its existence, that it should, while hostilities are in progress, withdraw to await a new attack within frontiers the defense of which, if the advantages gained are given up for the benefit of the enemy, may easily, in view of the resources on each side, become an overwhelming task.Funny how Finland doesn't mention giving Jews over to Germany, as well as economic concessions for the European Reich:
>The significance to Finland of the circumstance, now that she has been drawn into a resumed war of defense against the Soviet Union, that Germany is simultaneously at war with this enemy of Finland, is obvious. Le Stalin wasn't preparing for war and was believing Hitler meme:
>When the offensive preparations directed against Finland by the Soviet Union, to which that country again resorted after the peace of Moscow, carrying them out at ever accelerating speed, are taken into account, and also the fact that the enormous industries of the Soviet Union had been directed almost entirely to the production of war material, there can be no doubt but that a new war, if Finland had again had to stand alone, would have denoted the doom of Finland and of the entire north.
