Allies Use Finland
To Cut Supplies 10
Reich, Nazis Charge
Resistance Is Incited
To Upset North Europe,
Periodical Asserts
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Dec. 28.-The mouth
piece Of the German foreign office
charged today that Great Britain
and France had deliberately melted
Finland to resist Soviet Russia to
upset Northern Europe and thus
interfere with the regular flow Of
supplies to Germany.
The semiofncial commentary
Deutsche Diplomatisch-Pol Politische
Korrespondenz said that from the
moment it became certain that Rus
sia was not willing to pull chestnuts
out Of the fire for the western
powers the efforts Of these powers
centered on bringing about compli-
cations in the North.
"On one hand it seemed desir-
able to engage Russia there with
her military and material re-
sources; on the other, it was con-
sidered worth trying, through the
resulting confusion, to interfere
with the possibilities of supplying
Germany from this area, which
cannot be blockaded."
The allies have no idealistic in
terest in Finland, Korrespondenz
declared, but merely are using her
for their own purposes.
The mouthpiece argued that the
custer of Russia from the League
of Nations and the League deci-
cioy, fo roordipoto old for Ein.
land was part of the allied plan but
that neither Britain nor France in
tended to offer active help.
The allies planned merely to give
moral support and furnish supplies,
the commentary added, but the war
materials forthcoming were out

people with a comfortable belief in
our invincibility," which has been
reflected in legislation that some
times has resulted IN neglect of the
war machine.
Gen. Marshall said this country's
national organization for war should
include: First, a small Regular Army,
as the keystone of land defense prob
lens; second, territorial force of
National Guardsmen to supplement
the standing Army; third, demo-
cratic system for developing trained
officers and a practical plan for
prompt requirements; fourth, a re-
serve of non-commercial munitions,
and, fifth, an adequate reserve of
raw materials, essential for war,
which are not available in this coun-
try.
In Possession of Destinies.
A. Whitney Griswold of Yale Uni
versity, in a commentary on Amer
ica's naval policy, told the joint ses-
sion:
"No Nation today is in such full
possession of its own destinies as
the United States. Beyond the
oceans that still protect it its only
conceivable enemies are now en-
quilted in war;"
Prof. Griswold said that the
problem of determining the size
and type Of navy adequate to pro-
tect this country's present position
is a responsibility not only of the
naval scientists, but of American
statesmahship. The tremendous
cost and risk that it entails render
it part and parcel of the national

Urged by Mas

~ the Associated Press.
Congress will be asked to penalize
violaturs of this country's neutral
ity by denying them war materials
and port privileges.
Representative Mas, Republican,
Of Minnesota announced yesterday
that he would introduce the legisla-
ton next month. asserting that the
"gravest danger to our peace is the
violation of our neutrality"
Mr.. Mas, senior minority men,
ber OF the House Naval Affairs Com
mittee, said his bill would prohibit
the sale of airplanes and all other
implements of war to neutrality vio-
lators and deny port privileges to
their warships or armed merchant
men.

ut was the violation of our neu-
trality that led to bur entry into the
first World War;" Mr.. Mas said in
a statement. IF we are to be kept
from being dragged into the second
world war, it is absolutely essential
that we enforce our neutrality and
keep acts of war from the shores of
the Western Hemisphere.
Mr.. Mas declaration followed the
Joint protest by the United States
and other American republics to
Great Britain and Germany against
their violation of the 300-mile neu-
trality zone around the Americas,
particularly by the naval battle off
Uruguay. The question of penalties
was left for a future communica-
ton.
Chairman Bloom, Democrat, of
New York, of the House Foreign At
fairs Committee, said yesterday that
he favored penalties against neu-
trality violators as strict as neces-
sary-short of force-to make bel
ligerents observe the regulations.

The committees ranking minority
member, Representative Fish, Re-
publican, of New York, took the
view, however, that the 300-mile
neutrality zone was marely IAN
imaginary line backed by some imag-
mary power that is totally mean
ingless under international law"
In addition to embargoing air
craft and ammunition sales and de-
nying port privileges to the violators,
Mr. Aooc cold hiS hill would rooI1ire
automatic imposition of penalties
for illegal seizure of American ships,
their unreasonable detention in for
eign ports, removal of United States
mail from any ship, seizure Of i'm
ports to the United Sttaes or for any
other violations of recognized inter-

What the average person doesn't
comprehend is that what is going
to count in air war is not the num-
ber Of planes with which a country
takes the field, but what its replace
ment facilities are. Losses of ma
chimes, experts know, will be tre-
mendous and constant. Marshal
Goering, German air chief, recently
told foreign visitor of this observ-
er's acquaintance that the Nazis
figure the average life of bombing
ship will not be more than five and
one-half days. That is why Goering
is working day and night to equip
Germany betimes with an aircraft
industry of prodigious proportions.
He claims that the Reich today has
1900 factories concentrating on a
single model plane. These plants
are geared not so much for turning
out fighting ships now, because the
army has an enormous air fleet in
being and is ready for any emer-
gencies it would face in the i'm
mediate future. Goering's plane
factories are being developed and
multiplied primarily for replacement
needs in mid-war, also to cope with
obsolescence. The Nazis are, of
course, paying equal attention to
personnel requirements-skilled la
Dor for the aircraft industry and
trained pilots for combat flying.
Mortality in manpower will, of
course, keep pace with plane losses.
