Mr. William L. Batt.

Dear Mr. Batt:
I refer to my visit to your office on tho 24tn of bAar

For example, it is one thing to demand that Finlanci i*ot:1:11t.;

I feel the above viewpoint illustrates the need of a smaLL but capub

all the inter-related problems involved in our handling QC our ar:baiz..i.

would work principally with Sweden as the effective medium of actapish-

standpoint.

It is my view that if we were working with Sweden along the lines
discussed with you a few weeks ago, we could in thls instance have
approached the Swedish Government and requested their assistance in
bringing about an ending of Finland's activities within say a matter
of three or four weeks. You undoubtedly appreciate that Sweden has
played - and must continue to play - a very active role in the doings
of the northern countries and has a lot at stake in regard to the
