ish and French were prepared to send still greater aid to Finland if the war continues. 5. Finnish sources at Helsinki in-

dicated unofficially that reported|: ‘Soviet terms for ending the war

Svinhufvud would go to Rome to see|:

Premier Benito Mussolini were not confirmed. It was reported; also without confirmation, that Finnish Forein Minister V. A. Tanner arrived with Svinhufvud and that they would see German: Foreign Minister Joachim Von Ribbentrop tonight.

Neutral Mediation Unlikely 6. Messages coming through the Helsinki censorship said reports had been circulated that Russian and Finnish representatives might meet at Tallin, Estonia, but that lacked official confirmation. *

Reports that Mannerheim “was seriously ill were denied today: One of the reported Soviet demands on Finland was the removal of Mannerheim and Gen.

French Send War Materials Ini Paris it was disclosed that

{France has sent a large supply of “| wir materials to Finland; including 115 ajrplanes, 496 field guns, 5000 {automatic rifles, 400 mines, 200,000 ‘thand grenades, 795,000 artillery shells |and 20,000,000 cartridges.

. Including British contributions,

the following material, an -authori-| fi ‘tative source said, already has been

sent to Finland or is en route. A total of 405 airplanes, including 67 bombers, 916 cannon, 2,300,000 es, 124 ma150 anti-tank rifles, 1050 ‘sea mines, 450,000 hand grenades, 10,000 anti-tank, mines, 60,000,000 rifle cartridges.

Talk With Goering, Hinted

Paris reported that Axel Wenner-|

Gren, multi-millionaire Swedish in-

dustrialist, was playing an impor-|

tant role in the Russo-Finnish mediation negotiations after having conferred with Field Marshal Hermann Goering, German Nazi No. 2 at Berlin. Wenner-Gren sailed from New York to Italy in the liner Rex along with Mr. Welles. Rome to Berlin he told a United Press correspondent who accompanied Mr. Welles that he regarded Marshal Goering as the best hope for bringing Germany into mediation negotiations,:

It was ‘believed that. Wenner-

Gren had had several conferences with Italian leaders. While Wenner-Gren was in Washington he arranged with Hjalmar J. Procope, Finnish Min-

ister, for shipments of ammunition| It ‘was understood |

for the Finns. that Wenner-Gren .was one of a

group of Swedish industrialists who! - | had given millions of dollars to Fin-

land. Red Demands Harsh

Finns commented bitterly that reported Russian peace terms were harsher than those the rejection of which last fall brought ‘on the war. . Reports that Russia. had demanded Hanko, on the southwest

“{coast; the Karelian Isthmus and

the Lake Ladoga region were. received in Helsinki from abroad and were “declared to be- inacceptable. The cession of Hanko, particularly, was said to be impossible in a negotiated -peace. It is more than 200 miles from the Russian frontier. To turn -it over to Russia, it was held, would be to make a puppet state ‘of “Finland. It ‘was realized that the Russians now had the initiative in the war and that Viipuri must fall. But: it

was said that the Finns were hold-|

ing ‘the Russians on all fronts except the Viipuri one and that the Viipuri offensive was taking a ter-

“. |rible toll of Russian lives.

.Cession of the entire Karelian Isthmus, it was said, would leave

| Finland at Russia's mercy, without | } | natural frontier defenses.

. A high Finnish officer, ‘trained in Germany and seasoned in the Finnish war of * independente against Russia, said. “If we do not get the men we

{need from abroad we may end by putting guns to the: heads of our

wives and children. We may have to decide between that and bolshe-

Everyone must say. Some of the comments of versons polled in their homes by The Times are:

MRS. EUGENE KEENEY, housewife, 1217% Evison St.: “I'll answer any questions they ask me. They want the information for valuable statistical reports. I see no reason for objecting.” PAUL D. DOWNEY, unemployed, 2444 N. Talbott St.: “I don’t object to the questions. Somebody has ta know the answers sometime. It might as well be now.” MRS. J. H. GUIRE, housewife, 3074 N. Dalaware St.: “I guess I'd have to tell them what I know. What I don’t know. I couldn’t tell them.” ARTHUR J. PHALEN, unemployed, 1215 E. Kelly St.: “I object to alliof them. What do they want to know that.information for? It isn’t anybody’s business. I may refuse to answer.” MISS ELIZABETH ROACHE, stenographer, 2035 N.

EARL WHITE, masonry repair: contractor, 1009 Cottage Ave.: “At our home we'll treat the census taker just like the assessor, answering as we can.” MRS. FRED SACHS, “housewife, 1524 S. Alabama St.: “Ill answer them all. They’ll find out anyway. I wonder, though, what they want the information for.”

R. T. HOLTON, oil business, 3347 N. New Jersey St.: “I think it’s a good idea. The ‘answers will ‘give statistical information that will be most useful.”

An East Side filling station operator who wouldn’t let his name be used because “it might hurt my business,” said: “That's none of their business. This is a free country. As long as you abide by the law your private life should be your own. It’s getting to be just like Germany. . The Government wants to know everything.”

this session on Wagner Act amendments proposed by his Committee, - ‘He addressed. a letter to Chairman Mary T.
