Films Hurry Bills
Giving Government
Clear Hand in War
Diets Action Indicates
Few, if Any, Concessions
Granted to Russia
BY the Associated Press.

HELSINKI, Oct. 31.-On the eve
of the departure of Finnish delega-
ticn to Moscow with Finland's final
answer" to Soviet demands today,
the Diet hurried bills to passage
which will give the Government a
clear hand IN case of war.
The Diets action appeared to bear
out predictions in diplomatic circles
that Finland's answer to Russia
granted few, if any, concessions.
A foreign Office spokesman said
Finland was proceeding on the basis
that an agreement could be reached
but the general feeling in political
quarters was that stalemate would
result from the current trip to
Moscow.
Finland's reply to the Soviets will
be submitted to President Kyosti
Kallio for final approval just before
the delegation departs.
Control of Work, Property.
One OF the Diets bills would give
the government broader powers to
execute work DEGREES and handle
private property for military pur-
poses.
Gifts to new defense fund
reached the equivalent of $1,000, ,0O0
The government announced it would
offer about 100000 pounds of coffee
for sale outside rationing restric-
tions at increased prices. This meas
ure is expected to raise 100000 in
Finnish markkaa.
The Negotiating Committee head
ed by DR.. Juho Kusti Paasikivi is
expected to reach Moscow Thursday
morning.
Defense Work Goes On.
The ministry of interior, in asking
border residents not to return to
homes they left when the crisis de-
veloped three weeks ago, said the
situation which caused their orig
inal removal had not changed.
The task of digging air raid shell
ter trenches and other defense prep
arations went ahead steadily.

in shipping circles today to escape
detection on blockade -dodging voy-
age along the rugged coast of Nor
way, en- route to German haven.
Thousands of islands and numer-
Gus fjords offered places for expert
enced navigators to hide temporarily
from British warships, especially if
the City of Flint travelled mostly by
night. Moreover, fog and low visi-
bility were on the side of her captors.
Germans as we'll as neutral OBJ
servers manifested interest in word
that the freighter had stopped for
three hours yesterday at Tromso,
Norway. on her odyssey through
northern waters since seizure Octo-
ber 9 by the German pocket battle
ship Deutschland.

Ten days ago, she called there to
land 38 seamen from two sunken
British merchantmen who had been
placed aboard by the Deutschland.
She also took on fresh water before
continuing on to the Soviet Russian
Arctic port of Murmansk.
Berlin officials professed to know
nothing for sure of movements of
the City of Flint since her departure
from Murmansk, announced Satur-
day night by Russian officials. They
added that they would say nothing,
