Finland Extends
Armistice Hope

miStice" Finland would like certain
assurances from Britain and the
United States regarding her fu-
ture frontiers.
Russian reaction to the Finnish
reply to an American note urging
Finland to cease hostilitieS did not
bar the way to success in present
Finnish American negotiations, it
was said
Britain has not yet declared war
on Finland despite Russian pres
sure. This, it was said. indicates
that Britain is willing, at least to
await the outcome of Finnish-Amer-
lean talks before acting.
Well informed Finnish quarters
said there could be no question at
present of real peace with Russia
but, it was said there was pos
Sibility of a more or less "taCit"
cessation of hostilitieS pending a
general peace conference and final
settlement of frontiers.
A we'll informed source said there
is reason to assume that negotia-
tions of far-reaching significance
among all concerned" now are be-
ing conducted at HelSinki.
The view was expressed that Fin
lands comrades in arms Ger
manyD would have no objection to
a solution under which Finland and
Russia would have a "tacit Armis-
tiCe."

PITTSBURG. Cal. Nov. 81 CUT
Three thousand employees of the
Columbia Steel company'S PittSburg
plant struck at 1901 am. today,
demanding wage increases equal to
a scale paid in San Francisco Bay
plants.
The Columbia plants holds S.
100000 worth of key defense con-
tracts. The general walkout was
voted by the membership of Local
l44O, Steel Workers Organizing
Committee (CIO). Daniel c. Hib-
bard, business agent, said the vote
was overwhelmingly" in favor of a
strike.
Hibbard issued a statement in
behalf of the union saying the strike
was called after management re-
fusal to continue negotiations.
Work will be resumed Immediate
ly when the company agrees to con-
tinue negotiations. he said. He said
the union wished to aid the national
defense, but that the workers could
not continue to accept substandard
wages.
The company insists its wages are
equal to or better than those paic
elsewhere in the area for similar
tasks, but Hibbard said they were
below those paid in the San Fran
cisco Bay area. Wake scale figures
were presently unavailable, he said
Columbia, subsidiary of United
States Steel, protested the action
as a breach of the unions contract
which provides for no work stop
pages and a negotiation of all wage
problems.

PETAIN GOES TO HITLER
Marshal Henri Philippe Petain,
chief of state at Vichy. and his vice
premier. Admiral Francois Darlan,
arranged to go to occupied France
next week to meet Adolf Hitler ana
ReichmarShal Hermann Goering,
dispatches reported.
This plan, following custer OF
anti-Nazi Gen. Maxine Weygand
as proconsul for Africa, convinced
the British that Hitler was attempt
ing to conclude a quick agreement
with Vichy for dispatch of German
armed forces to Tunisla before the
British offensive can reach Tripoli
and thus menace the road to Dakar,
vital naval base on the Atlantic
coast.
British sources also reported the
Germans had recently asked that
French Warships be placed at the
disposal of the Axis and that French
troops patrol the English channel
area under German command in
order tC release German troops foi

British Offensive
Nearing Torbuk

The German preparations en-
phaSized the first admission at
Berlin that the British offensive into
Libya was a strong attack.
TANKS STAND UP
American tanks appeared to be
standing up we'll in their first big
test against the Germans, but with
British forces about ten miles from
Tobruk The main action was yet tO
be reported against two German
divisions and one Italian division
which the offensive is attempting
to trap.
The big battle, according to Brit
ish sources, may come west of To-
bruk. probably depending upon the
ability of the beSieged British forces
in that Libyan coastal city to break
out and join hands with their COM
rades sweeping westward across the
desert.
The British offensive was believed
by observers in Ankara to be directed
toward an ultimate goal on the At

and open the way for close-range
bombing or an invasion of italy but
would bring showdown with the
French in Algeria and Morocco.
Such campaign presumably
would end at Dakar, the French sea-
port guarding the south Atlantic
sea lanes, and observers expressed
belief that the determination with
which Hitler forced the custer OF
Gen. Maxine Weygand, French pro-
consul for Africa, was a sign OF
German concern over the North
African situation. 1t was also re-
garded as an indication that the
Nazis we're going to insist on help
ing" the French defend their North
Africa territory.
