Hull Says Finland
Broadening Armed
Help for Germany
L. S. Attitude Depends
On Extent of Military
Activity Aiding Axis

WASHINGTON, Nov. II.
(UP) - Secretary of State
Cordell Hull said today that
TIE basic issue involved in
the United States attitude
toward Finland IS whether that
cCuntr% is going to continue mill
taIy operations to the extent that
Germany desires and become an
AXIS partner in the general war.
Hull said that dispatches from
Berlin on Joint German-FinniSn
operations made it clear that Fin
land is moving into new military
action beyond her frontiers. He re-
called that he had told Finnish
Ministe% Hjalmar j. Procope that
the real issue involved is whether
the Firms were going to furnish
Germany extremely valuable aid Il.
her efforts to blockade shipments OF
American and British supplies to
Russia through MurmanSk and Arch
angel.
Hull made his staten1nt in COM
mtnt Oh the Finnish note which
rejected the idea chat Finland
should cease hostilities at once. HUI.
emphasized that pe did not have
the text of the note and was COM
menting on the basis of press re-
ports.
1t is not a question of wordS,he
said, but of issues.
The issue, he said, was made clear
in press reports from Berlin last
night in which a German military
spokesman was quoted as saying
that German-F Finnish advances east
of Leningrad and activity in the
region of Lake Ladoga and Karella
are cutting off the Arctic from the
Russian forces.
