the United States to negotiate a supplemental trade llsreement with Canada, to cover silver and black fox furs exported to the United Staten.

Hull said the negotiations would be restricted to a consideration of a limitation on the total imports of the furs and s reduction of the United Btata import duty. The duty was fixed in the 1988 trade agreement at B’! 1-2 per cent ad

valorem. It was understood that the su - lementsl agreement was soug t because of the likelihood that the war would cause an influx into the

Government Resigns In Face Cf Red Invasion

Soviets unleEélT Mighty War Machine On Finland

-'— Meet Resistance.

(By Lynn Heizerling, Associated Press Staff Writer)

HELSINGFORS, Dec. 1-—(Friday)—(AP)-'l‘he Finnisli Government, its capital bombed and aflame, with the Soviet Russian army swarming across its frontier, re- signed early today despite an unanimous vote of confid- ence given it in Parliament.

The Cabinet. which for weeks had negotiated vainly with Moscow on Russia's territorial demands on the little republic, stepped aside after a Russian broadcast threat- ened annihilation of Helsinizfors unless an agreement was reached by 3 a. m. today (9 p. m. AST Thursday.)

Although no announcement was made regarding s." new Government, it was believed a new cabinet would be formed before tonight.

Mentioned as probable new Premier was Vaino Tan- ner, Finance Minister in the old cabinet. who took part in the unsuccessful conferences in Moscow.

(The resignation was seen in some circles as a move for an armistice. Reports were received in Copenhagen that Tanner probably would attempt to restore diplomatic relations with Moscow and would seek cessation of hos- tllities.)

Word of the Government's resignation, which came less

than 24 hours after the firs” - 0F Red troops crossed the bor- der. was forwarded to Mos- B n u N G

cow by_ a representative of the United States Legation. It was expected the Ameri- can Embassy would com- munlcate it to the Kremlin.
