A considerable number of members of parliament were not excited by the idea of crossing the old borders, but obviously Ryti convinced Tanner and the Social Democrats to remain in the cabinet despite their opposition to the conquest of East Karelia.
En betydelig del af parlamentsmedlemmerne var ikke begejstrede for ideen om at overskride den gamle grænse, men Ryti overbeviste tydeligvis Väinö Tanner og socialdemokraterne om at blive i regeringen trods deres modstand mod erobringen af Østkarelen.
