U.S.. Restricts Finn
Minister S Travel:
Break Seems Near

WASHINGTON, July l7-UP)-
The United States, in addition to
cancelling consular representation
with Finland, has restricted further
the movements of Finnish Minister
Hjalmar Procope and his staff, it
was learned today.
Procope has been advised that he
and members of his legation must
obtain permission from the state
department to travel in the United
States. 1t was indicated that such
permission would be increasingly
difficult for them to obtain.
That action emphasized the fer
NAL announcement last night by the
state department that all American
consular activities in Finland would
be suspended and the order to Fin
land to close its IA consulateS in
this country by Aug. |. After
months of cautious handling of re-
lations with Finland, the only ma
ton to pay its World War l debt
oll dliu III
the United States took its strong
est step thus far in expressing
sharp disapproval of Finland'S sub
servience to Axis pressure.
Some restrictions were imposed
upon Prccope and his staff last
Christmas when the Firms, under
German influence, curtailed the
movements of American diplomats
in Finland. The new restrictions
will be more severe, however, and
will leave no doubt that the Un-
tied States will deal firmly with
Finland from now on.
Great Britain has declared war
upon Finland. But the United
States, even though it declared war
upon Bulgaria, Rumania and Hung
airy. has refrained from breaking
with Finland.

strong enemy assaults on two sec

toward the Near East continued
most dangerous on the broad Rus

The battle on the Russian front

near Kamensk, where the Donets

to Stalingrad on the Volga.
