BASEL. Switzerland Correspond
ence of the Associated Press) The
military strategists on the western
front have not forgotten the old
theory that the walls of Jericho fell
because trumpeters held their at
tention while the enemy attacked
from the rear.
But in this modern war, there are
whistles instead of trumpets, as both
sides resort to their ingenuity to
fool the other fellows.
Long after the French had aban-
doned the Waarndt Forest last Oc-
tober, French scouts armed with
officers whistles kept the Germans
guessing.
Flat Cars Roll Along.
Later the same month, observers
in Luxembourg noted long lines of
trucks, presumably full of troops,
moving away from the Moselle zone
just the night before the Germans
launched an attack that drove the
French out of their hard-won posi-
tions between the Moselle and the
Saar Rivers.

Finland Day. UnneutroI,
Richmond Mayor Says
Sy the Associated Press.

~ lHe ASSOCleteQ frsSSs
RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 16.-Mayor
]. Fuhner Bright of Richmond said
he had declined to proclaim Decem-
Der II Finland day" in Richmond
because such a proclamation would
be breach Of American neutrality.
The request for the proclamation
was made by Herbert Hoover, chair
man Of the Finnish Relief Fund,
Inc, who also asked that the Mayor
head the relief effort in Richmond.
Il can see no objection at all to
Mr.. Hoover's effort, but I do not
think city officials as city officials
should participate in celebration
called Finland day, the Mayor said.
The Mayor who is a colonel in
the Virginia National Guard sug-
gested to Mr.. Hoover the names of
a number of private citizens for
consideration as local chairman.

The Finland Yearbook, 1939-4C,
says the largest Finnish ore deposit
is the copper at outokumpu. which
is described as the largest in Europe
1t is estimated at 100000 tons of
4 per cent ore. and is owned by the
state. The same deposit yields sub
stantial quantities of sulphur and
iron.
The yearly output of the Quito
kumpu mines is about 100000 tons
OF ore, which is smelted at Imatra in
electrolytic furnaces which are
among the largest in the world. The
1matra smeltery produces about
10000 tons of blister copper year.

Germany and Russia
To Resume Economic
Talks in Moscow
Prospect Of Supplies
For Reich Remuin
Nebu|ous, However
By FRANK SMOTHERS,

Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent
BERLIN, Dec. 16-As Russo
German economic negotiations are
about to resume in Moscow, follow
ing almost seven weeks of the same
talks here, the prospect of large
scale Russian supplies for Germany
appears as nebulous as ever.
Some Russian supplies have come,
principally barley for fodder, it is
understood by economic observers
in Berlin-but nothing like the
1000 900 tons of fodder which were
announced, upwards of two months
ago, as the two-months program.
Not much else of real Importance.
1t is understood, has arrived.
Soviet Commissar Tevosyan, in
leaving Germany for Russia this
week, declared, according to one
newspaper, that now that recon-
structioA of the Polish railways was
nearing it's end, shipments from
Russia to Germany would be speed
ed up. However, his statement ap-
pears vague. Circles normally well
informed on economic questions
read it skeptically.
Germans Disappointed.
Wen-posted Germans privately
express disappointment with the
Russo-German trade negotiations
held here. They said that little
concrete progress appears to have
been made; that the Russians
wanted to import from Germany
heavy industrial equipment, ar
mored plates, and so forth, whereas
the Germans were not prepared to
supply these in quantity and wished
to export to Russia consumers
goods instead. including cutlery and
watches. So far as is known, no
Russian oils have arrived.
Obviously, it is pointed out by
economic experts, Russia's war with
Finland greatly limits the supplies
Russia could provide Germany, even
assuming that she has wished to
provide a lot. The Finnish war
cuts potential exports, not only be-
cause of RuSSia'S S own increased need
due to the war, but also because of
the dislocation caused by the war
in her transport.
If and when Russia completes her
Finnish campaign, the supply needs
of the Soviet for potential further
military action, even if Russia her
self does not initiate a new cam
paign of her own volition must con-
tinue to limit what could be spared
for Germany.
Germany's Supplies Hit.
The Finnish conflict, mean
time, not only reduces potential
Russian supplies to Germany. Fin
land, herself, formerly supplied Ger
many valuable products, notably
timber and copper The Russian
blockade against Finland noW-pre-
sumably-upsets shipments of these
products. Germany can get timber
elsewhere-but Finland is the only
big copper producer near at hand.
If Finland is conquered, will Rus
sia sell-or permit Finnish gov
eminent under Russian domination
to sell copper to Germany? observers
here ask. This is doubted. for Rus
sia. herself, it is understood, has a
considerable shortage of non-fer-
rous metals at present. Russia, pre-
sumably, would not need Finnish
timber, but would want copper,
students of the economic scene point
out.
Perhaps the Russo German trade
talks to be resumed in Moscow will
