...those stubborn fanatics who still cling to the twisting tail of the party line, I do not believe that there need be any confusion "about the role of the communist in a liberal coalition."

Previous to August 1939 this policy happened to coincide largely with that of these individuals who are perforce vaguely termed liberals. The H. S.

Lowlands had been flooded, augmenting the chain of lakes across the isthmus and leaving only narrow strips of land between the lakes as passageway for invaders. This land, wooded and boulder-studded, was a natural anti-tank defense, to which the Finns had added long lines of jagged, diamond-shaped boulders, three deep, as their main lines of defense against tanks.

Every official must realize that he is there for the people and not the people there for him, and during the present difficult period bureaucratic narrow-mindedness, smallness of vision, presumptuousness and autocratic manners must cease...
