Moscow, Oct. 3. (AP) —A strong hint that Russia is preparing to make demands for military and naval bases upon Finland as well as the smaller Baltic states was given today in the government newspaper Izvestia, which gave the first intima tion of Russia’s decision to march in to Poland last month. The newspaper, tracing relations of the Soviets with Finland, Estonia and Latvia since 1920, said: “Ag gressive European countries that conceal themselves under the mask of ‘peace loving’ have tried to con vert these countries into their vas sals, and into a zone of operations for completion of their aggressive plans in the basin of the Baltic Sea.” Izvestia, in another articel, said an agreement between Sweden and Finland, upon fortification of the Finnish-owned Aaland islands in the Baltic this year, was concluded “without any legal grounds, and was not planned for the pacification of the Baltic basin and the security of sea borders of adjacent countries.” Many observers believe Russia was preparing to demand from Fin land a share in control of the islands. This latest campaign for more con cessions in the Baltic area opened while the atvian and Turkish for eign ministers were here, and Lithu ania’s foreign minister was expected later in the day. lzvestia’s article failed to mention Lithuania, but that country was expected to receive de mands along with atvia and similar to those made upon Estonia. German Warnings Are Transmitted To All U. S. Ships Washington, Oct. 3. (AP) A German warning that Ameri can ships, “in their own in terests”, should avoid “suspic ious behavior” in the British and French waters was relayed around the world today by the Maritime Commission and na val authorities. The German message was received by the State Depart ment last night shortly after Secretary Hull had cautioned United States citizens to avoid travel on ships of belligerents. It advised against such acts as change of course, use of radio on sighting a German warship, zigzagging, screened lights, failing to obey a de mand and accepting convoy by British or French naval forces. to right).

Allies Are Unbeatable, Herbert Hoover Thinks New ork, Oct. 3. —(AP)—-Herbert Hoover expressed belief, in an inter view with Roy W. Howard, pub lished today, that the defeat of Great Britain and France is impose idle. “If one surveys the whole front — sea, land, air and economic resour ces—l am convinced the Allies can defend their empires,” the former President said. “The end may be vic tory for them. At worst, it might be a stalemate.

Rome, Oct. 3.—(AP)—Well informed Italian quarters said today that it was unlikely that Foreion Minister Count Cia no’s conversations with Adolf Hitler would lead to any im mediate peace move on Italy’s part. They said the Italian gov ernment would not lend itself to a futile gesture which premises no success under present conditions. They asserted that it was difficult to conceive of any German peace proposals which would be acceptable to France and Britain. In Italian quarters, the next move was expected to come from Hitler who, it was thought, would outline his peace proposals through his Reichstag speech this week.
