REPORTS OF JOINT GERMAN-FINNISH MANOEUVRES IN FINLAND ARE OFFICIALLY DENIED IN HELSINKI, STATES A SWISS AGENCY TELEGRAM FROM THE FINNISH CAPITAL RECEIVED IN BERNE LAST NIGHT.

In London there is no confirmation in authori- tative quarters of the reports of a landing in Fin-| land by 12,000 German troops with tanks and other equipment, says Reuter's diplomatic correspondent.

Heuler's diplomatic correspon- dent says nothing is known in! London of a report that German |

at transports have landed troops Turku (Abo.).

He adds the Germans have an agreement with the Finnish Government allowing the tran sit of troops through Finland to Petsamo and thence to Northern Norway.

This agreement, which was re- garded in London as unfortunate, was the subject of strong repre- sentations to the Finnish Govern- ment by Britain.

The agreement also allowed the transit of troops on leave in Ger- many through Finland on their! return to their units in northern

Norway.
