Idle money in the Nations banks
took a sl7O,Ooo,000 leap to a new
record of S6,53O,OOO,O0O in the week
ended June 5.
The Federal Reserve Board said
the large increase was due pri-
marily to Treasury spending and
gold purchases, which more than
offset a S33,OOO,OOO increase in
money in circulation.
The boards statement said:
During the week ended June S
member bank reserve balances in
creased $172 100000. Additions to
member bank reserves arose from
increases of Sll9,O0O,OOO in gold
stock and $l9,OOO,OOO in Reserve
Bank credit and decreases of $70,-
100000 in Treasury deposits with
Federal Reserve banks and $2,000,-
600 in non-member deposits and
other Federal Reserve accounts, off :
set in part by increases of S33, 900 900
in money in circulation and S5,000,-

Finnish campaign may well mean
economic chaos for Russia.
NAV Have to Accent Nazis,


Relying on the demonstrated Rus
sian weakness, Germany can mist
on other agreements as apnexes to
the Soviet German pact. Russia has
been unresponsive to accepting the
direction of German technicians and
experts in industrial organization to
increase production. But Stain may
find himself in such distress that
he will have to admit them now.
Thus Germany would tap Russian
resources. She needs food and raw
materials, but most of all she must
have oil. Either she must have more
oil than she can produce synthetic
ally from coal, or otherwise get at
present, or her mechaniZation fam
ishes in prolonged army offensive.
Rumanian oil production will help,
but 1t is not enough. Nor will the
normal Russian surplus for export,
only 100000 barrels, In addition,
be enough. The demands Of the
Finnish campaign promise to leave
Russia with none to export and a
domestic shortage. Can German
oSS1AAASAoA4o oVCP uH 1tucclhkl Oll pro-
duction to give Russia more while
Germany gets her requisite share?
Gen. Maxine Weygand, Foch's
right-hand man in the World War,
now at Ankara consulting with the
Turkish staff, must also be reading
the news from Finland very atten-
lively. Russia is in no position to
make the much-talked Of offensive
against Iran, Iraq and Turkey. The
reports from sound sources tell us
that Gen. Weygand's command
the British and French troops in the
Middle East-has been steadily aug
mented during the Finnish
war in support of the Turks.
Rumania in a Wise.
How the Finnish example has
more and more stiffened the spirits
of all the Balkan countries becomes
increasingly evident. The forth
coming meeting of the premiers of
Rumania, Greece and Yugoslavia Is
significant of desire for unity if 1t
can be accomplished.
1t is Rumania which is in a wise.

Finnish Successes
Changing Strategy
In War on Germany
Allies and Reich Believed
To Be Learning Lessons
From Northern Fighting

BY COL. FREDERICK PALMER
While the echoes of Finnish gun
blasts are being heard in London
Paris, Rome, through the Balkans
across the Black Sea into Turkey
and around the world, they are
surely having the most pronounced
effect in the high commands of the
allied and German armies.
Continued Finnish success prom
ises to change the land strategy of
the war, rearranging troop distri-
buttons for the offensive or defensive
1t may be decisive in the choice of
the objective of that swift offensive
which Gen. Walther Won Brauchitsch
recently announced by breaking
military silence in emphatic and
lengthy public terms.
The allied and German Army
stats check off the Finnish COM
muniques with their own secret re-
ports about the Russian Army. The
German staff must be especially we'll
served. If, as between friends, the
German staff has not officers ac-
credited as observers with the Rus
sian Army, it is not without profess
Sional information. There must be
German agents with the Russian
Army who speak Russian we'll and
are in Russian uniforms.
Stain Out as War Factor.
Did Russian discontinue in the
campaign against Finland come as
q surprise to the Germans? Had
they not already the measure of the
Russian Army and the power of
Finnish resistance even before they
signed the Soviet-German pact?
They could reason:
Let Joseph Stain attack Fin
land. That will hold him for a
while"
At least we hear no more of Stain
over Europe as a factor in the stra-
tegic set-up of the war. AS mill
tary asset to Germany the Firms
have made the Russian giant look
like clumsy clown.
But there is another side to the
Russian exhibition which Germany
may have in mind. We get hint
of it in the report from Berlin
that the Russians have agreed" to
allow the Germans the use of the
branch railroad" running from the
Rumanian border in Russian Po-
land into Germany.
Germany is granted the right to
protect this railway. How many
soldiers will she consider necessary
to guard it securely? A division
and then another division possibly
there on the Rumanian border.
Stain has good reason to press
his drives on Finland by land and
air while the lakes are frozen over
and before the spring thaw mires
his troops. He may have to send
q million men into Finland, If he
can supply that many, and fight on
into summer before his conquest is
complete. The army which he
thought he would have free for
other adventures in the spring will
not be available. The drain of the
