as with military and diplomatic
veapons while the European war
fare cost Britain new naval and
• merchant shipping losses.
The embattled Finns reporting
daa. they had checked Russia’s
campaign on all fronts, took their
; case to the League of Nations,
invoking the League ai'bitration
machinery, asking that Moscow
')l- c ndemned as an aggressor.
Heartening to Finland is a
ton million dol.ars United Slates
credit for the purchase of food
and other non-military supplies.
Finland’s appeal came up for
j consideration after preliminaries
in which the de egate from
; friendly Norway, Karl Hambro,
was e.octed pro dent of the Lea

ly warned the League that it

aggressor but none of them have

Japanese invasion abstained from j
participation in the League ses- j

Russia said her troops had pen;
e.raied 35 miles into Arctic Fin,
land and made advances on all i

protest was lodged against the
British b ockade, aimed a; cut
