1940 Chronology: 10 February

At a meeting of the Finnish Defense Council attended by Prime Minster Ryti, Foreign Minister Tanner and GEneral Mannerheim, three possible political approaches to the USSR are discussed:

1) to offer the Russians, as a peace concession, an island off Hanko, which they demanded when hostilities began
2) to continue the war with active support from Sweden (assuming that this is forthcoming)
3) as a last resource, to accept the offer of intervention by Great Britain and France.
