U. S. Studying Possibility Of Break With Russia
Fascists Demonstrate In Rome Against Russia
Two Peace
Moves Are Now
Under Way
_
UNDATED, Dec. 4 f/P.) — Two
peace moves are afoot to end the
hostilities in snowy northern bat
tlofields where the Funnish-Rus
sian fighting has drawn the
world’s attention and the stale
mated war on the Western Front.
i
The League of Nations mach
inery was set in motion for an
arbitration demand and the Fin
nish and Swedish legation in Mos
cow was asked by Finiand to con
suit the Kremlin on the possib
ility ,of a peace “without violat
ing the independence and vital
interests of Finland.’’
Russia reported tlr* capture of
five is a nets in the Gulf of Fin
land and continued her land ad
vance.5 on the Kerelian Isthmus
north of Leningrad. Three thou
sand Soviet soldiers, are said by
frontier dispatches to have land
ed at Petsano Fjord, Finland’s
Arctic outlet. Helsinki felt siafe
momentarily from air raids be
cause of heavy snowstorms. Al
most all the civilians left the
city for safer inland localities.
Heavier Russian casualties
were reported by the Finnish
high command who said land
mines, machine gunners and >a
thick coating of dee on Finland’s!
many frontier lakes caused the
growing toll.
Finland invoked the League of
Nation’s seldom-used machinery
for settling international disputes
when she appealed for the arbit
ration of the Russian dispute.
The council is called to meet on
D( cember ninth. Some Geneva
observers said the sudden League
activity looked as though the
League members were anxious
to force Russia either to sub-1
mit to arbitration or withdraw
rrim the League.
Repercussions of the Finnish-!
S ;. et conflict sounded in Rome
where a crowd demonstrated in
front of the Finnish legation,
cheering Finland and booing Rus
sia.
The freedom of the seas now
has become the freedom of seize.

Severing Relations
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 (£>) —
! The government is reliably re
ported as proceeding with cau
tion and looking well into the
future, studying the possibility of
severing diplomatic relations
with Russia.
Some Senators of both major
parties advocated this course as
a protest against the invasion of
Finland but the state department
is known to be taking the posi-;
tion that the United States may
'ose many advantages should this
step be taken. The country might
be in a better position to partici
pate in a peace conference if re
al ions are maintained. Then, too,
the state department regards as
valuable its present channels of
information and reports of in
| telligence.
