308. Commenting on rapid absorption of the Baltic States by the Soviet Union now proceeding, the Minister for Foreign Affairs told me this morning that the relation of Finland to the Soviet Union had always been very different from that of those States and gave me to understand that the Finnish Government does not anticipate analogous developments here.
