If pennissiou can be obtained from the State Department for Trotsky to enter the United States. rt committee hearing will be held before Jan. 3. probably on the Mexican border. Dies’ Secretary. Robert Stripiing. said the hearing would be aimed at authenticating documents ob- tained by committee investigators who have vmrferred with the exiled Russian and Rivera. One docu- ment purportedly discloses Soviet instructions to its agents in Mexico ‘aimed at giving all belligerent. na- tions access to Mexico's Oil Re- sources. The purpose cf this policy. Stripling suggested. would be to insure the ultimate destruction of western nations through warfare. after which the Stalin Govern- ment. could extend its power.

Government To Limit iiousing Loans OTTAWA. Dcc. 6-(CP)-—Irl a move to tighten the strings on UK [public treasury and conserve rc- [sources for war purposes, Finance Minister Ralsmn announced tonight that beginning next Jan. 1 loans under the Dominion Housing Act would be limitcd to a. maximum of $4,000, and that no loans would be, made after that date on apartment and duplex houses. Restriction on this form of assis- tance to home builders, after four years of operation, is necessary as one of the steps essential to further Canadas war effort, it was stated. As a further restriction, part three of the act. which authorizes the government to assist builders under the act to meet their municipal tax- es in the first three years of owner- ship, will become non-operative on construction started after May 31. 1940. for which applications were made pror to Jan. 1, 1940. A statement from the Finance Department said the minister "be- lieved that the steps taken would "be regarded as advisable and ricccs- sary" as a wartime measure. "The heavy demands of the war are making it essential to divert our expenditures more and more from peace-time projects in order to con- centrate on war activities," the statement said. "This action regarding housing is to be regarded as part of a general program to release the greatest a- mount of capital possible in order to throw our maximum weight ln- to helping to win the war. which must be our dominant objective." since the beginning of the war, it was announced. 5. Authoritative sources disclos- ed that Brltis-h firms had arrang- ed to gupply a. score of fighting planes and “a considerable quan- tity" of other war materials to Finland, for whom the British Gov- ernment has expressed sympathy. The invasion by Russia was con- demned yesterday by Foreign Sec- retary Viscount Halifax as “an inexcusable act of aggression." A Reuters News Agency report also said that 50 Italian planes hard been delivered to Finland by a . Five U-Boats Sink Mr. Churchill told the House that the five German submarines believed sunk were the obiect of attacks "either from our fiotilias or from the Royal Air Force and particularly the coastal commands." He added the results “are in- dependent of any achieved by the French navy," If Germany is able to turn out 400 submarines next yeah-as Ger- mans have said she eouid—and also produces captains and crows bv the chain belt system. Mr. Chirrchfl declared “it seems like- ly that our rate of destruction might undergo similar expansion." German submarine warfare, he admitted, was characterized by en- terprise and daring, and the "graves" of several U-boats are in the approaches to Britbh harbors as a. result of the efforts of Ger- man commanders to emulate the U-boat commander who penetrated the defences of Scapa Flow and sank the cruiser Royal Oak. More than 1.000 British merchant ships have been marked for de- fence hc said. and added that there would be 2,000 soon. Mines Not Mysterious German magnetic mines account- ed for more than half of Britain's 58a loses within the last. month, he told the house. but he observed that the mines were neither new nor mysterious. The magnetic urine, he said. may be “Hitler's much-vaunted secret weapon. It is certainly a character- istic weapon and one that no doubt will ever be associated with h name." He placed the British navy's losses during the first three months of the war at 50, s. Neutrals can avoid difficulties un- der- Britslnfls new total bloc e a- gainst Germany, Mr. Churchill said if they "avoid carrying tainted goods in their ships.” Churchill said that in the tbs of the war “very few" British ships have been at- tiwked in convoy and "less than one in 750 have been sunk." "The losses of British merchant ships in October were half of what they were in September. and in November they were only two-thirds of what they were in October," he said. “Quite the couirrary has been the case of the neutrals. They lost half as much 880.11 in the second month as they did in the first and double in the third month what thev did in the second." The first lord of the admiralty re- marked that German attacks on neutral ships constituted "a strange kind of war".

Situated in the heart of the Pct.- awawa military reserve. which ir- onically was bought originally from German settlers in 1904, this camp slie has been chosen primarily to enable prisoners to work on fores- try jobs in COI1€Gt10n with the Pet- awawa forestry station which over- laps the military reserve. About l0 acres on the shores of Centre Lake have been cleared, ‘butments built and a high barbed wire fence erected around the clear- ing. The area is under the jurisdic- tion oi the Petawswa military camp officials and it is expected that units of the R/enfrew-Lanark Scot- tish Hegiment 0f the Black Wnich wil handle the guard duties. Prisoners will be brought from Fort. Henry, near Kingston, Ont, and the Quebec and Halifax Cita- dels by train to the nearest railway station to the camp. Then they will be taken by motor truck along the winding bush roads into one of the most isolated sections of Ontario. The camp is in the heart of good timber land, prisoners will be put to work cutting wood for their own use and working on various projects . connected Iwith the forestry station. Considerable road work is neces- sary in the district and the enemy aliens probably will be assigned to jobs there. ‘They will be under the control of the militia, however, at all times. Winters are severe, snowfall fl heavy and the temperature plum- mets in this part of the country ‘but cldtime lumber-men say the prisoners should find no serious discomfort from the weather in their lumber-canrp hutments. The camp is located in a spot where escape mould be practically impossible without 1on3 treks through the bush that is mnhlazed in many parts. . fl? ‘i.
