ANGLO-RUSSIAN RELATIONS ARE BECOMING WORSE
(SPECIAL TO "SUNDAY HERALD ")
London, To-day. DESPITE REPORTS current here yesterday that Sir William Seeds, British Ambassador to Russia, will be returning to Moscow next month, diplo- matic circles here seriously doubt whether this will be possible.
Russian relations with Britain and France are con- stantly deteriorating and development of the Finnish conflict is only increasing the gap be tween Moscow and the Allies.
OPPOSED TO FINN LOAN
Senator
Washington, To-day. Pat Harrison yesterday came out in flat opposition to the pro- posal for a Government loan to Fin- land and an increase in the capital of the Import and Export Bank.
He said such action would be un- neutral and would create a precedent
other belligerents. for loans to Reuter.
WINGSANG AFFAIR
Shanghai, To-day. Written representations were hand- British ed over personally by the naval authorities to the Japanese this morning concerning the detention and search of the steamer Wingsang. Reuter.
POWELL'S
The Allies are determined to help the Scandinavians against aggression, and development of the Soviet opera- tlons might call for intensified help to Finland.
It is reliably asserted that the question of sending French, Bri- tish and Polish volunteers to Fin- land has already been discussed although foreign prese rumours
of the despatching of an expedi tionary corps to Petsamo are in. accurate.
SUPREME COUNCIL DISCUSSIONS
Well Informed circles believe that the next Supreme Allied Council will discuss most important questions in connection with the Finnish problem.
In these circumstances Sir William Seeds' return to Moscow will be de- cided only if evidence exists that it cannot be interpreted as a change of Allied pro-Finnish policies.——Havas.

Cape Town, To-day. General Smuts, Prime Minister, in the House of Senate declared that the entry of the Union of South Africa in the war was in line with the policy which he and other members of the Previous Government frequently enunciat- ed before September namely that the Union should stand by Britian if she were attacked. He convinced that Hitler would after gaining Poland endeavour to ob- tain South West Africa.

South Africa had no chance of if defending South West Africa Britain stood aside and the British Fleet did not protect the Union's coast.
General Smuts was speaking on the motion ""That the upper house confirms the war policy."---Reuter.
London, To-day. Captain John Mackenzie, of the has been Gloucester Regiment, awarded the M.C. for conspicuous daring and resource while leading a patrol in front of the German lines. He led two patrols In one night, scattering one and bringing back German dead from the other, with no casualties among the Bri- tish--Rauter.
Helsinki, To-day. Fierce fighting is raging at Rasti, Central Finland, where the Finns have been entrenched since the end of December, This promises to be one of the most important battles yet fought in this sector.-- Reuter.
Paris, To-day. Hitler's speech is regarded in official and other well-informed circles as adding practically no- thing new.
It is thought the speech indicates that the German military authorl- ties are not yet prepared to for- sake the path of caution and are for anxious to have more time diplomatic preparation.
It is pointed out that nothing was said of Russia as a war ally. On the other hand the reference to Italy is noted, and it is thought the that Hitler, on the eve of
had Balkan Entente conference, obvious reasons to remind Italy of her old friend.--Reuter.
Three cases of smallpox, two of diphtheria, two of chickenpox, and two of dysentery were noti- fied as having occurred in the Colony during the 24 hours end- ing yesterday. There were ́ also 12 cases of tuberculosis.
London, To-day.
""The Times," in an editorial on Hitler's speech, says the tirade of. boasts, threats and hatred is only interesting as an example of the which systematic mendacity on ~the German-morale is apparently built up and as displaying fear of the Allled aims.
The "Daily Telegraph" says the screams last night were shrill and The the abuse parodied itself. more often Hitler makes guch speeches the swifter the twilight of Hitleriam will darken. Each shriek betrays a dread of British power and a consciousness of in- feriority in the contest he has pró- voked.-Reuter.
