An appeal on behalf of The Finland Fund by the Rt. Hon. the Earl of Plymouth
On January 7 the first appeal was made for the Finland Fund (and magnificently answered) at a time when that unhappy country was embroiled in its war with Russia. That war is now over, but appalling hardship still afflicts Finland, and the plight of the 400,000 homeless Finns is one that must arouse the conscience of the world.
In the words of an old Finnish' proverb, ' Offer help to the man with the load while he is still on the hill, not after '.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged, and should be addressed to the Finland Fund, [address removed]
