Hull Attack Brings
HeIsinki Insistence
She Is Free Of Axis
Greet Britoin Grutified
By Denunciution of Firms
As Puppets Of Hitler

United States denunciatiOn Of
Finland's course of action as max
ink her puppet of Hitler met graft
f1cation in Great Britain today and
renewed insistence in Helsinki that
the Finnish government remained a
free agent outside the Axis.
Secretary of State Hull declared
yesterday that every act of Finland
since delivery of a recent note con-
tending that her military operations
against Russia were purely defen-
sive, has confirmed our apprehen-
sions that it is fully cooperating
with the Hitler forces"
Hampering Z. S. Aid.
Mr. Hull reiterated previous warn
ings that offensive fighting by the
Films in Russia grievously hamper
American efforts to aid the Soviet
Union, and referred to Finnish mill
tary collaboration with German
forces as "a menace to all America S
aims for self-defense.
The Associated Press reported
from London today that Great
Britain, according to a British au-
thority was highly gratified by the
derunicatlon of Finland'S actions
There is not necessarily any reason
to believe, 1t was said, however, that
Britaln'S decision on a Moscow re-
quest for a declaration of war
against nations assisting Germany
against Russia will be hastened
Responsible Finnish quarters in
Helslnki were quoted as insisting
that Finland is not a party to the
general war. being engaged in war
against the Soviet only In an effort
to secure a basis for peace and
safety in the future. They said Fin
land remained a free agent outside
the AXIS.
Military Commitments Denied.
Mr.. Hull asserted that Finlands
signing of Hitler'S anti-comintern
pact with Hitler's puppet govern
ments over Europe is highly signifi-
cant and cannot be camouflaged or
explained away by propaganda at
tacks on nations engaged in de-
Tending themselves"
Helsinki dispatches said Finnish
spokesman explained that Finland
made no political or military COM
mitments in joining the anti-comin-
tern pact, but merely reaffrmed
her old enmity toward Communism.
Secretary HullS remarks yeSter-
day were in response 10 inquiries
about his attitude toward the re-
cent Finnish note rejecting this
country's warning TO withdraw
troops from Russia or lose American
friendship Mr. Hull said the note
threw no light on the all-important
question of how far Finland was
going in military cooperation with
Germany against American inter-
ests.

numbered just 23084I officers and
men, OF whom 215000 were enlisted

The arms expansion also has
SWelled materially the number Of
War Department civilian employees
and officers on duty in the National

from $40 TO 10433 in the year
