London, Dec d (AP) = Great
Britain and France today clamped on
Germany total blockade, one of the
most powerful weapons at their COM
mand. From today on, the Allied
blockade will be working two ways,
striving to strangle Germany's export
trade and continuing to intercept her
imports as it has since the start of
the war.
The beginning Of the attempt to
isolate Germany completely from her
overseas markets shared attention

Force bOmbers near the German
naval base at Helgoland, hailed here
rs the most successful air offensive
Of the war SO far
The air ministry said the British
Tiers had scored "direct hits" in an
attack on Nazi Warships, and an I'M
official announcement said one of the
ships bombed near the North Sea
stronghold was a cruiser.
The air ministry also announced
one bomb from a Royal Air Force
plane destroyed a German submarine
n the North Sea yesterday. Other re-
ports listed four more German sub
marines as sunk in recent days.
(In Berlin d. N. B., official Ger
man news agency, said an attempted
British air raid on Helgoland was
driven off with only fishing boat
sunk, and few bombs dropped.)

Troops Lose Heavily
In Attacks I'm Snow.

Helsinki, Dec. 4-(AP)-Finland
sought peaceful way TODAY to settle
her differences with Soviet Russia
without sacrificing her independence
or vital interests.
But while an answer from Moscow
was awaited Finnish forces reported
inflicting heavy casualties on the in
vaders, and the civilians left in this
capital steeled themselves for air
raids they feared would be the most
destructive of the war SO far.
A heavy snoWstorm which started
last night continued this morning,
protecting Helsinki and environs
from repetition of Russian air raids.
Up to early afternoon, no air alarms
had been sounded and none was ex-
pected until the weather changed.
The city, however, was almost
empty. Such was the fear Of new
bomb attacks that only soldiers and
civilians entrusted with vital tasks
remained. The Finnish command said
the Russians had lost heavily when
their troops crashed through thin ice
along Finland's lake-studded from
tier or had been moved down by
sharp-shOoters and machine gunners
guarding the frozen lakes.
The Finnish radio disclosed the
peace effort last night announcing
the Helsinki government had asked
the Swedish Legation in Moscow to
consult the Kremlin on the possibility
Of a settlement. Prime Minister Riso
Ryti declared in a broadcast to the
United States today that Finland is

Finland Fortifies
Aaland Islands In
The Finnish Gulf

Helsinki, Dec. 4.-(AP)-
Finland is fOrtifying the strate-
gic Aaland islands, guarding to
the entrance to tie Gulf of Fin
land, it was announced tonight.
A message to this effect has
been sent to Joseph Aven0l,
secretary general of the League
of Nations, it was stated.
These islands had been the
subject of a diplomatic tussle
between Finland and Russia.
Finland and Sweden had ap-
pealed jointly to the League of
Nations for approval of their
plan to forLiiy the islands, but
Russia objected vigorously on
the ground that such step
would bottle up the Russian
fleet in the Gulf of Finland.
The upshOt of this issue,
which was debated last June,
was that the League Council
did nothing.

Many Urging Withdrawal
Of Russian Recognition
Republicans Recall

Disapproval of Roose-

Blamed artly For
Soviet Attack on Fin
land.

Washington, Dec. 4.-(AP)-
The government was reliably
reported today to be proceeding
with caution and looking well
into the future in studying the
possibility of severing dipl0-
matte relations with Russia.
Some senators of both major
parties have advocated this
course as a protest against the
Soviet invasion of Finland.
For example, it was said, this
country might be in better posi-
ton to participate in peace con-
ference if relations are maintained.
If relations are served, some per-
sons contend, the United States
might make an enemy which would
not be DESTROYS of having this coun-
try sit in at a peace conference
which might be of vital importance
to the United States.
Then, too, the State Department
regards as valuable its present
channels Of information, reports
and intelligence.
The question of withdrawing
recognition was kept to the fore
by Republican contentious that the
Roosevelt administrations recogni-
ton of the communist government
was partly to blame for the invasion
of Finland.
