RUSSIAN PAPERS
DECLARE LEAGUE
T00LJ ALLIES
No Official Moscow Com
ment on Action Radio
Attacks Swedish Party.
By Witt Hancock
Moscow, Dec. 15. (Pi The
Soviet press reported Russia's
expulsion from the League of
Nations in dispatches from Gen
eva today which described the,
league as the "tool of the British-French
bloc."
The dispatches, which broke
the Soviet union's silence on the
expulsion yesterday, were not
given special prominence. Until
they were published, only an al
most inaudible broadcast from
London had been heard here of
the league's action.
Speeches Assailed
The Geneva reports assailed
the speeches of the Portuguese,
French and British delegates
and also that of "the notorious
'representative' of the unknown
'Polish' government."
Both the British and French
speeches, they said, "exceeded
all known standards of cynicism
and hypocricy. . . they copious
ly shed crocodile tears about the
alleged violation of the rights of
Finland with the obvious pur
pose of prolonging the war in
Finland. . . it shows the shame
ful aimliitinn tVta l.ainia '
xui v .lid league
There was no comment here
on the Geneva decision.
Swedes Assailed
The Moscow radio, which
launched an attack on members
of the Swedish social democratic
party, made no mention of the
League of Nations at Geneva
(The euster notice was sent
to the Kremlin by league of
ficials in a telegrata last night.)
"Slaves and hirelings of capi-
talism and imperialistic interests
have dared to abuse the glorious
Red army, which with such un
selfishness has lent its help to
the democratic Finnish repub
lic," said the radio attack on
the Swedish party and its or
gan "Social Democrat."
"These so-called socialists
have sunk so deep their news
paper has reached the level of
the worst Paris boulevard pap
ers. But the whole world and
even the Swedish people will
realize the unselfish work of the
soviet union and her army,
the broadcast added.
(About 40,000 men have been
called up for duty in the Swed
ish army as a defense measure,
bringing the men under arms
to about 150,000 compared to
a normal force of 20,000. Lieut,
Gen. Olof Gerhard Phoernell
has been named commander of
all military forces, a post filled
only in anticipation of an emer
gency.)
Reply Expected
A vigorous "reply" to the
League of Nations action was
expected by observers here in
the next few days, accompanied
by a bitter press attack.
Since Russia had abandoned
the league policy of collective
security, some foreign quarters
believed the expulsion would
have little practical effect.
However, these sources point
ed out that it marks a further
cleavage between the "British-
French bloc" and the Soviet un
ion, possibly driving the Rus
sians into closer cooperation
with Germany.
An the Finnish front, the Red
army headquarters reported a
75-mile advance in the Ukhta
district in the Finnish Arctic
area.

While favorites held advances
of fractions to 2 points or so,
numerous issues were unable to
shake off small minus signs and
a wide assortment closed at
Thursday's final levels.
Brisk rallies in wheat and
cotton futures inspired a little
buying in the stock department.
Transfers approximated 700,
000 shares.
Tilting forward were Douglas
Aircraft, United Aircraft, Glenn
Martin, Eastern Airlines, Pan
American Airways, Bethlehem
Steel, Chrysler, Westinghouse,
American Smelting and General
Electric.
Aeronautical stocks revived
as hopes of more foreign orders
were seen and it was learned
the navy, in the deficiency bill
to be presented to the next con
gress, would ask for 518 planes
to cost some $28,596,000.
