(By Henry C. Cassidy, Associated Press Staff Writer) PARIS, Feb. 6—(AP)—A campaign for widespread Allied military aid for Finland gained momentum in the French Parliament today as shipment through France of 50 carloads of Italian-made airplanes for the Finnish army was disclosed. . Premier Daladiel-‘s own Radical-Socialist party called upon the Government to give Finland all the help needed to “fight and win” her war against Russia.

WOULD HURT ENEMIES

Finland will hurt our enemies in their military power as I “(Ylell as in prestige,” a Radical-Socialist resolution declar- e .

This coincided with similar demands in the French press. _

“If aid is going to be given to Finland in the spirit of saving her,” the newspaper L’0rdre said, “it will be ne- cessary t0 act with very great speed.”

HALTED BY NAZIS

i The planes shipped through France were the same ones which previously had been halted by Nazi authorities I while en route through Germany. They were sent back to Italy and rc-routed through France.

Evidence of intensified Finnish zlid came on the heels of a meeting yesterday of the supreme war council, which governs the war effort 0f the Allies. ‘
