STOCKHOLM, Sept. 6. - Docu.
ments published by the Swedish

The Swedish White Paper. pub
liShed yesterday, said that Swedish
Consul Raoul Nordling brought King
Gustaf a special message from
French Premier Edouard Daladier
on March 2, 1910, that such a force
would be sent to Finland across
Northern Norway as part of gen.
eral offensive against Russia sched

Study Of Jap A-Bomb Survivors
F FuiIs to Show Cancer Increase

as one phase of studies to learn what
might happen to workers in plants
using atomic energy If they should
accidentally become exposed to
radioactive elements.
DR.. Austin Brues, director of the
biology division of the Argonne
National Laboratory for Atomic Re-
search at Chicago, described animal
experiments in which cancers de-
veloped after exposure to radioactive
substances.
Cancerous g~owths appeared some
time after the animals were exposed
he said. Experimenters have not
yet been able to shorten the period
of delay before the appearance of
the tumors. Some chemicals have
the same kind of latent period before
producing tumors in animals, while
other chemicals act much faster.
This would indicate differences in
the sequence of events when cancer
is started by radiations, and when
it is started by chemical means,
DR.. Brues said. Attempts are being
made to learn just what happens
after exposure to radiationS.

ST. LOUIS. Sept. 6.-Since the
atom bombs fell on Hiroshima and
Nagasaki, there have been only four
cases of leukemia, a cancer of the
blood, among the survivors. DR..
Shields Warren, a member of the
Atomic Casualty Commission. Ma
tional Research Council, said today.
This is exactly the same rate,
about two cases per 100000 popula-
ton, which is normal in the United
States, he told the Fourth Interna-
tional Cancer Research Congress.
No tumors of ovaries among
women due to bomb radiations have
been detected, and there is not yet
any evidence of increased incidence
of usual types of cancer, he said.
1t probably will take 10 to 20
years before evidence of any in
creased cancers can be determined,
and about so years before there can
be any conclusive evidence that the
radiations might cause any effects
on inheritance. DR.. Warren added.
Survivors are being observed closely

Britain Will Push
German Trade Unity
BY the Assoeioied Press

LONDON, Sept. 6. Britain has
told Russia that despite Soviet pro-
tests she hopes to achieve" the
economic unity of Germany at the
four power foreign ministers meet
ing here in November.
The British government issued a
note yesterday rejecting Russia S
protest at recent United States
British-French talks on Germany.
These talks preceded the announce
ment of a British American decision
to step up the level of industry in
the British and United States zones
OF Germany to approximately the
1886 standard.
In a similar note the United
States asserted Tuesday that failure
of the Soviet government to carry
out the 1945 Potsdam agreement
with regard to German economic
unity had placed upon the United
States a heavy financial burden in
the occupation of Germany"
The Foreign Office reported the
British note said:
1t is recognized that Such prob
lens as the establishment of the
level of industry for Germany as a
whole can only be solved with the
agreement of the four powers occu-
pying Germany.
Agreement with regard to such
questions can only be reached after
the attainment of the economic
unity of Germany which it is hoped
to achieve at the next meeting of
the Council of Foreign Ministers
In the absence of economic unity
his majesty's government must take
effective action in the economic
field to administer their zone of
Germany"
In Berlin an official announce
ment said yesterday that during
August the United States and
Britain shipped more than $62, ,000,-
900 worth of foodstuffs into the
former Reich for the civilian popu-
lation, of which American taxpayers
paid for $60,000,0O0 worth. .
