Finns Deliberating
Over Soviet Offer of
’Friendship Pact'
Helsinki Fears Domination
Of Neutrality; Will Make
Counter-Proposals
Bv NEGLEY FARSON.
COPENHAGEN. Oct. 18 (N.A.N.A.).
—Finnish statesmen are holding
grave deliberations over the terms
of Moscow's demands on the North
ern country, according to a well
informed observer in Helsinki with
whom this corresponded.* talked over
the telephone yesterda.
The trouble seems to be not so
much over the probable Russian de
mands for the occupation of some
Finnish islands as over Moscow's
presumably proposed “friendship
pact,” which, the Finns fear, means
domination of their neutrality. Juho
Paasikivi, Finnish representative in
the Russo-Finnish negotiations, is
expected to go back to Moscow with
the counter-proposals in a few days.
The Finns are maintaining such
an impeccable and inscrutable si
lence about the Moscow talks that
there is even a cruious tacit agree- j
ment throughout Finland not to dis
cuss the subject.
The Finns merely say that, if the I
Text Moscow talks are short, then
there will be a breakdown and they
w-ill be ready to defend their coun
try. If the conversations are long,
thtere will be hope of a peaceful
solution. Finland's principal cities
have been evacuated by civilians,
every one has orders for action in
an emergency, and. in fact, the
situation is only slightly different
from a declaration of general mo
uinua null.
No Scandinavian Front.
The meeting of the Kings of Nor
way, Sweden and Denmark and
Finnish President Kallio in Stock- I
holm today should in no wise be in
terpreted as a gesture of a Scandi
navian offensive or defensive front. '
It is intended to express the Nordic
countries' solidarity and their deter
mination to preserve their neutral
ity. j
Denmark last May signed a non- |
aggression pact with Germany, while
Norway and Sweden refused to do

circles in Sweden seemed to be toy
ing with the idea of a '‘Nordic de
fense alliance." Thorvald Stauning.
Social Democrat, who had been
Premier of Denmark for nine years,
went to the city of Lund, in Sweden.'
and made an emphatic speech stat
ing Denmark's refusal to join any
such combination. Stauning s state
ment of Danish neutrality is his
toric and unswervable. The events
to date in this war have only in
creased Denmark's determination to
remain neutral at any price.
This, of course, does not imply
that these countries would not fight
If they were attacked. The Finns
would fight to the last man before
eurrendering to Russian domination
and so, with more chances of suc
cess. would the Swedes. But it is
not believed that the Russians in
tend to push things that far. With
winter fast approaching, no sane
observer believes that Moscow
would attempt a Scandinavian ad
venture across the swamps, lakes
and forests of Finland and the
heavily-forested northern sections
of Sweden.
Sub Attacks Let Up.
The German U-boats seem to
have let up in their attacks on
Scandinavian shipping. There is a
report here that three Danish
freighters were diverted to Ham
burg. that their cargoes were sold
there and that the findings of the
prize court will be made known in
November.
Observ jrs here believe the ruthless
activity of German submarines
against Scandinavian shipping in
the last week of September and early
days of October was an effort to
drive the Nordic nations into some
form of "peace front" which might
be useful to German hopes in the !
same direction. Now that it has j
failed, a new German attitude ]

will not move a finger to influence

They said it was up to these states

best they can, just as Germany has
made her terms with Russia.
German sources vigorously deny
that Germans have a moral or other
responsibility for the fate of the
Nordic or Baltic states. Germany's
relations with these states, they
point out, have always been cor
rect, normal and decent, but the
Nordic states themselves always in
sisted this relationship must not go

WESTERN FRONT.—Bitter fighting continued today on the western front's north flank, where
French claimed the German push already had cost the Nazis 5,000 casualties. Fighting was
heaviest in the vicinity of the Borg Forest <1) and in a small area southeast of Saarbruecken <2>.
In a triangle formed by the Rhine, the Lauter and Wissembourg (3> Swiss observers said the Ger
mans were massing for a big offensive against the Lauterbourg area, the “hinge” of the Maginot
Line. Rear areas on both sides were reported seething with preparedness. Cross-hatched areas
were principal places of activity. —A. P. Wirephoto.
By DEWITT MACKENZIE.
Associated Press Staff Writer
The German advance along a
20-rmle front in the Saar region,
and the spectacular if not very de
structive Nazi bombing raids on the
great British naval base at Scapa
Flow, would seem to emphasize that
Herr Hitler has come to the end of
the passive resistance which he has
been offering the allies in large
measure while he has been dicker
ing for peace.
However, there were aspects of
yesterday's operations which gives
one to wonder. They were legiti
mate measures of offensive, but both
on land and on sea they lacked the
mighty punch which we have been
led by Berlin to expect.
Then, too. they weren't lacking
those marks of nobless oblige which
have persisted during Herr Hitler's
“peace offensive." It is hard to
escape the impression that the Ger
man attacks were calculated to be
both useful and impressive, with
out arousing an unquenchable anger
on the allied side.
Peace Efforts May Be Clue.
A Paris dispatch says this morn
ing that the Nazi Fuehrer is far
from finished with his peace efforts.
That may be the answer to our
puzzle.
The German attack in the Saar
was carried out on such large scale !
as to permit it to be designated as
an “offensive." However, while there
appears to have been a heavy artil
lery duel, the attack didn't involve !
hard infantry fighting. It was not •
a great battle.
Indeed, according to the accounts
of both sides, the operation con
sisted mainly of the Germafi re
occupation of territory which the
French had seized early in the war,
but recently abandoned.
The French explanation is that
they originally took this area in
order to "relieve the Polish armies
indirectly," by trying to draw Ger- i
man troops from the Polish front j
to meet the French assault. How- \
ever, in preparation for the German >
offensive, which was foreseen, the j
French two weeks ago decided to
fall back to other positions, the Poles j
having passed beyond the need of
aid.
It's No-Man's Land Again.
The German communique in very
quiet terms acknowledges that the
"French troops evacuated the great
est part of the German territory
they had hitherto occupied in front
of our fortifications, and retreated |
to and across the border." There .
was no effort on the Nazi part to !
make a great victory out of the
movement, or to crow over their
success, despite the undoubted value
of the advance from the propaganda
standpoint.
What has happened thus far in
the Saar fighting is that the position
has been restored in large degree to
what it was when the war started.
The positions which the French were
occupying on German soil were in
the inhospitable no-man's land be
tween the German West Wall and
the French Maginot Line. No-man s
land is itself again.
Beyond this, the movement may I
signify preparations on the part of j
the Germans for a major offensive |
in this region. If the Nazis arei
contemplating a big drive they will,
have to get it started soon, for the
winter weather is closing in and
will render military operations ex
tremely difficult. The present atti
tude of the allied forces appears
to be defensive—leaving it up to the
Germans.
No Waves of Bambers.
The German air raiads over the
Scapa Flow naval base, in the Ork
ney Islands just north of Scotland,
were carried out by just a few planes
and not by the huge waves of bomb
ers with which the Nazi military
authorities have been threatening
the allies. It wolud appear that
apart from some damage to the
- ■ ■ — I
ancient naval training ship Iron
Duke the raids had little material
effect.
What the moral effect may have
been doesn't appear, but the appear
ance of raiders more than once
over naval bases certainly is some
thing to cause the British author
ities at least to check up on their
defenses.
One still wonders, however, why
the raids didn't represent a much
more vigorous effort on the part
of the Germans. It would almost
seem that the Nazis were pulling
rabbits out, of the hat to astound
the world, without intending to do
much more than that. Had they
employed the much advertised waves
of planes in great numbers the
story might have been a very dif
ferent one.
Fighting
(Continued From First Page.)
pillboxes and minefields. Before re
treating. it was said, they laid out
mines of their own to impede Ger
man operations.
Behind their new line of defense
the French have drawn up heavy
tanks in large numbers. French
military men believe these monsters,
designed for use in counterattacks
and liaison work, are the most
powerful weapons of their kind in
the world.
They carry crews of at least four
men each, and their armament in
cludes machine guns and smaller
caliber cannons. Heavily armored
and equipped with radio, the tanks
have a maximum speed of about 25
miles per hour.
Defense Campaign Seen.
Observers expected that the
French, having withdrawn to appar
ently strong positions, would content
themselves with waging a defensive
campaign, attempting to inflict as
many losses as possible upon the
Germans while keeping the war off
French soil.
Winter weather was expected
within a few weeks to thwart any
German offensive ambitions on the
western front, while the naval block
ade W'as relied upon to undermine
German morale during the months
of enforced inactivity ahead.
The French meanwhile closely
watched Soviet Russian negotiations
with Finland and Turkey to deter
mine how much of a role Adolf
Hitler is playing behind the scenes.
Xhe French felt the Fuehrer was far
from finished with his “peace offen
sive.”
On the home front, Minister of
Agriculture Henri Queuille ordered
all butcher shops in Prance closed
on Mondays and banned sale of
beefsteaks on Tuesdays. The rea
son for the action, he said, was an
over-supply of veal, pork and mut
ton.
The United States Lines an
nounced, effective Thursday, an in
crease of 33.33 per cent in all pass
enger fares from Europe to N?w
! York. The same increase previously
had been ordered on all eastbound
i fares.
German Drive Expected
Near Middle of Border
BASEL. Switzerland. Oct. 18 (.T).
— Rear areas on both sides of the
western front seethed with activity
today in the wake of German
thiusts which Swiss observers be
lieved were intended to divert at
tention from preparations for a
bigger push.
These observers said the offen
! sive, when it comes, probably will
i be directed against the Wissem
bourg-Lauterbourg - Rhine triangle
1 near the middle of the German
French frontier.
For the third successive day and
night, it was reported, the Ger
mans continued to concentrate
troops and offensive material at
Karlsruhe and other points in the
strategic Lauterbourg sector.
The concentration movement was
said to have been in no way af
fected by assaults which the Ger
mans have been making on the
northeastern end of the front, near
the Moselle River and east of the
Saar. i
The French, dispatches indicated,
i have been matching the German
concentration with their own rein
forcements.
I The Germans were reported to
have assembled large numbers of
tanks in the first line of the Sieg
fried fortifications near the Lauter
River. These would be of no use
■ — I
for offensive purposes, however, the
Swiss said, until infantry and en
gineers succeeded in crossing the
Lauter and spanning the rain-swol
len stream with pontoon bridges.
In this connection the French
noted that pontoons from Austrian
factories which recently passed
through Baden were reported to
have been sent farther north.

Russia's Demands
Frowned Upon by
Turkish Minister
Proposals Incompatible
With French-British
Pledges, Says Saydam
By the Associated Press.
ISTANBUL, Oct. 18.—The pos
sibility of a Soviet Russian pact with
Turkey dimmed today in the wake
of Prime Minister Reflk Saydam s
assertion that Russian demands had
proved contrary to Turkish policy in
the Dardanelles.
Reporting to a parliamentary
group of the Republican Peoples
Party, Saydam declared at Ankara
last night that three weeks of dis
cussion in Moscow had proved
fruitless.
The prime minister said that
Russian proposals were contrary to
Turkish security, failed to com
pensate her for obligations she was
asked to assume and were in
compatible with Turkey’s previous
commitments to Great Britain and
France.
He added, however, that despite
the breakdown of negotiations, rela
tions between Turkey and Russia
remained friendly. Tending to con
firm this statement were dispatches
from Moscow telling of the hearty
sendofT given Turkish Foreign Minis
ter Sukru Saracoglu as he departed
for home.
Meanwhile it was reported that
formal signing of a Turkish pact
with Britain might be expected this
week—possibly Thursday or Friday.
The agreement would find Turkey
and Britain to fight together in
event of war in the Mediterranean.
There is a similar agreement with
France, whereby Turkey obtained
tho 1H nnn_criiiarA-mi1f» orpa r\f tho
Hatay Republic, formerly a part of
France's Syrian mandate. This pact
was signed June 23. The prelimi
nary exchange of British-Turkish i
pledges was made on May 12.
A Turkish military mission has
been in London awaiting the out
come of the Moscow talks.
Saydam's announcement did not
disclose the nature of the Russian
demands to which he referred. It
was widely reported here, however,
that the Soviet sought an agreement
to bar all foreign warships save her
own from passage through the
Dardanelles—entrance to the Black
Sea.
It also was reported on good au
thority that Foreign Minister Sara
coglu had rejected three other Rus
sian proposals—recognition of the
partition of Poland, formation of a
neutral block in the Balkans under
German-Russian influence and Rus
sian and Bulgarian expansion at the
expense of Rumania.
At the time the talks in Moscow
were initiated. Turkish officials said
they saw no inconsistency in their
commitments to France and Britain
and a pact with Russia, with whom
Turkey has maintained consistently
close relations.
Russia Plans to Resume
Talks With Finland
MOSCOW. Oct. 18 (/Pi—Soviet
Russia turned today from her at
(east temporarily snagged negotia
tions with Turkey to preparations
for a resumption of talks with Fin
land within the next few days.
After three weeks here Turkish
Foreign Minister Suk.ru Saracoglu
left for home shortly after midnight
today. Bands blared and Soviet of
ficials expressed formal best wishes
for Turkey, but they still were with
out a Turkish-Russian pact.
Tass, the official news agency,
commented that Saracoglu s visit
had “provided the occasion for a
comprehensive exchange of views”
and said the exchange took place in
a "cordial atmosphere."
The Tass announcement added
that the confereees had decided it
was desirable "to maintain contact
also in the future for joint discus
sion of questions of interest to the
Soviet Union and the Turkish re
public.”
French and British quarters,
which had remained in close contact
with the Turks during the long par
ley here, appeared satisfied at the
turn of events. It was reported that
the British and French desired no
rupture between the Russians and
Turks. The allies were said to fear
that an open break might drive Rus
sia into closer co-operation with
Germany.
A more optimistic attitude toward
the Finnish-Russian relations was
apparent in foreign circles. There
was growing hope for peaceful set
sia and Finland, once a Russian
grand duchy.
With the Russian-Turkish talks
halted and negotiations with Firt
land in a state of suspense the
Kremlin opened conversations with
a German delegation on the repatri
ation of German minorities in the
Baltic states and former Polish ter
ritory.
'Satisfaction' Over Stand
Voiced by British
By the Associated Press.
LONDON. Oct. 18 —British “satis
faction" with the statement of Tur
key’s Prime Minister on that coun
try's discussions with Soviet Russia
was described today by a diplomatic
correspondent of Reuters, British
news agency.
He wrote: “It is clear from the
statement that the Soviet govern
ment endeavored to persuade Tur
key's Foreign Minister Saracoglu
that Turkey as guardian of the
straits (Dardanelles! should close
them to all powers, although by the
treaty of Montreux she had agreed
to allow a passage of naval ton
nage equal to the strength of the
Russian fleet in the Black Sea.
‘‘It is not known what compensa
tion was offered to Turkey to vio
late her signature to the treaty, but
the Turkish government has set a
striking example in her determina
tion to uphold what is one of the
chief war aims of the allies, name
ly the respect of undertakings free
ly entered into.”
Pennsylvania Blamed
For River Pact Delay
By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 18 —Pennsyl
vania was held up today as the
principal stumbling block in the way
of an interstate agreement for puri
fication of the Ohio River.
Delegates to a nine-state con
ference on the Ohio River Valley
water sanitation compact declared
that if this State would co-oper
ate the way would be cleared toward
mitigation of "the serious menace to
public health caused by discharge of
millions of gallons of sewage and
industrial wastes daily into the
Ohio and its tributaries.”
Indiana, New York. Illinois. West
Virginia and Ohio have ratified the
pact with Kentucky. Virginia and
Tennessee Legislatures expected to
act at their next sessions. A rati
fication bill passed the Pennsylvania
House at its last session, but died
in a Senate committee.
The conference adopted a resolu
tion empowering the Pennsylvania
Commission on Interstate Commerce
to name a committee for devising
ways and means of obtaining the
State's co-operation in the move.

i
German Trade Mission
Fails to Gain Increase
After Month of Work
*>
By the Associated Press.
BUDAPEST, Oct. 18.—The little
nations of Southeastern Europe are
maintaining their independent spirit
by refusing to favor any belligerent
country economically, a survey indi
cated today.
A striking instance of this inde
pendence was seen in failure of a
German trade mission to obtain any
great increase in vitally needed war
materials from this section, which *
she considers one of her natural
trade areas.
Experts from Berlin spent more
than a month in the capitals of
Hungary, Rumania. Bulgaria and
Yugoslavia. They sought oil for the
Nazi war machines and food for Nazi
soldiers, and it was no secret that
they also hoped to close this area as
much as possible to Great Britain
and France by purchasing the bulk
of all the supplies the little nations
could export.
Pearetime Ratio Kent.
The net result of the mission's
strenuous negotiations is that Ger
many is to get no more goods, re
gardless of her needs, than she did
in peacetime. This is the way things
turned out in the little nations:
YUGOSLAVIA.—A new agreement
leaves the old trade volume un
changed but provides that Germany
must greatly increase her shipments
to settle large clearing house deficits
or run the risk of losing Yugoslav
contracts. Statistics just issued show
that Yugoslav exports to Germany
dropped from $23,000,000 in the first
eight months of 1938 to $15,000,000
in a similar period this year.
BULGARIA.—The prices Germany
must pay for all goods are raised by
a new agreement which provides
payments largely in oil and the rest
in gold.
Oil Export Unchanged.
RUMANIA.—The export of oil—
greatest need of Germany's mechan
ized army—is left unchanged by the
new trade pact, but regardless of the
agreement, statistics from the oil
producing areas of Rumania indi
cate a decline in shipments to Ger
many because of difficulties of pay
ing for transportation.
HUNGARY—Because of her new
common frontier with Germany,
Hungary was counted on to ship the
Reich vast quantities of fats, which
are scarce in many parts of Ger
many. But when the German ex
perts came to Budapest, the ques
tion of payments was raised, for
Germany already owes Hungary
$16,000,000. The German mission
found the Hungarian attitude to be
that trade increases were no good
if the profit was a paper one.
Turkey—Several weeks ago. when
a German trade agreement expired,
Turkey served notice she would not
negotiate a new one.
