1163. Informant referred to in my 1162, today63 says that about month ago Molotov hinted to Swedish representatives that U. S. S. R. might be inclined to discuss cessation of hostilities with Finland and inquired whether Sweden would act as intermediary. Informant says these efforts were fruitless at that time owing to Finnish obstinacy. I have no confirmation of this report from any other source.
