Moscow Says New Finnish Government Of ‘Left Wing’ Politicians Is Formed

MOSCOW, Dec. 1 (U. PJ. Formation of a new Finnish Government comprised of “rebel” Finnish soldiers and left wing politicians at Terioki on the SovietFinnish border, north of Leningrad, was announced officially tonight. The new Government will be known as the “democratic Finnish republic,” dispatches to Tass, official Soviet news agency, from Leningrad said. The Tass announcement was broadcast over the official Moscow Radio. (The Communist Party of Finland was founded in 1920 but it was declared illegal in 1930. At the last two elections there have been no Communist candidates in Finland.) The Terioki Government, Tass said, is headed by Otto Kuersinen as Premier and Foreign Minister,

Other Leaders Listed

Prior to the official announcement that a Communist “Finnish Government” has been established on the border just west of Lake Ladoga, creation of a Finnish Socialist state was envisaged earlier in a widely-publicized manifesto of Finnish Communist Party which, the Soviet press said, has been broadcast in Finland. Other members of the Terioki government : Mark Rosenberg, Minister of Finance; Dr. Axel, Minister of De-

fense; Iure Lehen, Minister of In-|

terior; Arma Irkin, Minister of Agriculture; Dr. Leftenen, Minister of Education, and Dr. Parcinen, Minister of Karelian affairs. The Communist manifesto said that the Red Army was marching into Finland “not as an enemy but as a friend.”

Program Announced The Soviet radio announced what purported to be the program of the Finnish Peoples Government. “The will of the people has ended Tanner's (V. A. Tanner, new Finnish Foreign Minister) policy,” the radio announcement said. “The new. Government will end the struggle against the war provocateurs and reactionary plutocrats who turned the country into a | white guard hei: and tried to sow enmity among the people against the Soviet Union, the great friends of the Finnish people who wish to live in peace with the Soviet people.” The earlier Communist manifesto had outlined a similar program in the name of the Finnish Communist Party. “The Government's internal policies are declared to be:

“2. To control all banks and small enterprises. “3. To fully liquidate unemployment. “4, To establish a seven-hour working day and to increase wages. “5. To distribute large estates to poor peasants. “6. To forgive taxes owed by the peasants. “7. To establish a democratic government. “8. To increase subsidies to schools, workers, the sciences and arts and the progressive spirit. “The peoples’ government of the | democratic republic of Finland has been built on a broad popular front basis, but it is a temporary government,” the Moscow radio said. “The final composition will be ratified by a popularly elected Parliament.” The Moscow radio said that the announcement of the government's program had been signed by Kuusinen and all members of his Cabinet. The government at Terioki, the Moscow radio said, calls upon the “people of Finland to rally under the banner of the free and independent Finnish republic” and to “march forward to victory.” United States Ambassador Laurence Steinhardt arrived today by train from Riga, Latvia, after a] business trip in Scandanavia. Up to 2:45 p. m. (5:45 a. m. Indianapolis Time) there had been no new announcement of hostilities on the Finnish border since last midnight. The Soviet public poured out to

land and sea, did the Russian public know that any fighting had taken place. Then they were told by radio that the Finns invaded Russia. three times, begining at 2 a. m. yesterday, had been driven back to their own lines, and that the Red Army finally had gone into action at 8 a. m. to put an end to the Finnish “menace.”
