1. FINLAND: Possible secret protocols to Soviet pact--W
Minister Warren repo; t that the legal adviser to President
Paasliivi, in a conversation concerning the a tence of
secret protocols to the Soviet-Finnish mutual assistance
treaty, refused to say "categorically" whether such proto-
cols existed or whether the USSR had sought them.
(CIA Comment: Inclusion of secret protocols to the
Finnish-Soviet pact would be difficult because the Finnish
delegation which negotiated the pact was not Commma t-
dominated. Moreover, the Finnish Diet, which must ratify
the pact, is e-pected to inquire into the question of secret
Protocols.)
`' rr Warren has been informed
that 7,000 trained Conamunis are in transit to Fin-
an rom the USSR. the agents are infii--
Ltratingr from the Soviet base at Porl&aia and are being assn. ;ne
to local.. action co mittoes in preparation for a coup before the
lay elections'.,
(CIA Comment: Although the USSR probably plans a
gradual increase in its control over Finland following ratifica-
tion of the mutual assistance pact, the Soviet Union probably
does not consider g, fining such control of sufficient urgency
to warrant an operation of the magnitude described. It, is also
unlikely that 7,000 agents could be imported into Finland with-
out producing an immedW.e reaction from the predominantly
anti-Communist Ffm s.,)
2: ITALY: Possible Soviet moves to influence electionsy --TIS

agree to the return of Trieste to Italy; (b) announce the placing
of Soviet industrial contracts in Italy that would benefit Italian
work rs; and (c) renounce It ,fawn. reparations, A, f,
