794. My telegram No. 792, October 24, 2 p.m. In the course of my visit to Potemkin this afternoon I inquired of him as to the status of the Finnish-Soviet negotiations. He replied that he had not been present at the conferences last night and therefore was without current information but that it was his impression that the present Soviet proposals being “extremely moderate” Finland would be expected to accede thereto.
