By GARNETT d. HORNER.

Secretary of State Hull today
described Hitler's visit to Finland
as part of desperate attempt"
to induce Finland ito make fur

military campaigns" amid indi-
cations that the Firms are "balk-

1--WE are watching the situation

visit of Hitler results in any greater
degree of cooperation with Hitler
against the United Nations" Mr.
Hull added in response to questions
about this Governments reaction.
His remarks appeared to imply
that this Government might con-
slider declaring war against Finland,

satellite nations, Bulgaria, Hungary
and Rumania. if Finland should ac-
cede to German demands for fur
ther offensive action against Russia

The Secretary said, however, that
1T is evident that the visit (Hitler's)
is a deliberate ruse on the part of
the Germans to compromise Finland
further in the eyes of the anti-Axis
world" He indicated no change in
Americana Finnish relations may be
expected unless there is evidence of
the NaziS succeeding in their def
mite attempt to obtain greater aid
from Finland.
Mr.. Hull said that "a reported
statement yesterday of Finnish
spokesman in Helsinki may be in
terpreted to mean that Finland is
baking at the German pressure" "

Helsinki quoted government
spokesman as saying that Finland
would continue to steer strictly

Marshal Carl Gustav Mannerheim

assumed that the real reason for
his visit was to insist that Finnish
troops join in the German summer
offensive against Russia.
The trip also was construed as
indicating Germany's desperate need
for Finnish aid, since Hitler rarely
makes such personal trips. His Gus
