Finland Air Raids Diminish as Congress Debates Aid
Report from Washington notes reduced severity of Russian air attacks on Finnish cities after five days of raids. Congress faces doubt on further Finland aid due to fears of U S involvement in European wars. President Roosevelt seeks to use the Export-Import Bank revolving fund to finance nonwar exports, while opposing precedent for war-related credits. Senate recess limits action as Banking Committee plans a closed meeting with Federal Loan Administrator Jesse H. Janes to address Finnish loan questions. Foreign relations group also schedules its routine meeting.

Weather Helps Front Lines Dim Cold War Woes
In a report from the European fronts the bitter cold weather aided and hindered fighting across the Finnish Russian border and the Western Front. Temperatures plummeted to 51 degrees below zero in parts of Finland hampering major operations while easing some Russian land assaults as Finnish forces held positions near Lieksa. Red air raids paused after five days of pressure, including a strike on Hanke. In Washington Congress leaders questioned aid policy to Finland but President Roosevelt asserted non military aid would not draw the United States into the conflict. British press cited a German rail sabotage plot and a 600000 strong counter espionage effort. Britain debated Hore Belisha’s dismissal and a new cabinet post to coordinate economic war efforts. Belgium and the Netherlands faced mobilization scare easing but defense measures would continue.
