Strategical Withdrawal COPENHAGEN, Feb. 27 (UP).-- Reports from Helsingfors to-day state that the Russian capture of Koivisto netted "only ruing without any military importance because the Finns dynamited all the fortifications and dragged off all their guns,"

The Finns lost no men during the

described retirement, which is "strategic", the report says.

New Danger To Finns STOCKHOLM, Feb. 27 (Reuter)- There is danger that the Finns may soon have another front to defond Bs a result the Karelion Isthmus battle.

When they reach the tip of Koivisto Peninsula, the Russians will be only five miles from the main Finnish south coast near Sackkijaerv!, which has been evacuated by the civilian population.

Soviet planes have successfully bombed enemy troops and military objectives.

Now Dofonce Lines ROME, Feb. 28 (Router)-Accord- Ing to reports reaching Rome from Finland, Monday was quiet on the Karellon Isthmus,

Local attacks by the Soviets seemed designed to divert attention from the extensive arrangements being made at the rear for another big offensive.

Al-

The Helsingfors correspondent of "II Messaggero" reports that though the Finns had to retrent nt Kolvisto, they did so in perfect order and without loss of material. They suffered fewer casualties than did the Russians.

The now defence lines are holding well against terrific pressure, he anys, and the Finnish armaments, especial- ly artillery, are good and fairly copf-

BRITISH NAVY MAY

BLOCKADE VLADIVOSTOK

FROM PAGE ONE

British Government is on the verge of attempting to establish Contraband Control In two secans,

H.K. As Contraband Control Baso

I was recently suggested in Lon- don that Hongkong would become a British Contraband Control base if Britain decided to establish regular control in the Pacific.

Informed quarters have suggested that Britain will establish auch Con- trol in the Pacific the minute she feels it is Jualifiable and Hongkong la re- garded as the most likely location.

Britain is thought to have been carefully watching the movements of Germany VİR cargoes en route to

the trans-Siberian Vladivostok and railway.

Although Britain has no regular contraband control base anywhere in the the Pacific, it is recalled that Soviet steamer Selenga, which was elt roule from Manila to Vladivostok,

Ilongkong

after was brought into.

Intercepted near having been Formosa.

Governor's Suggestion

A recent "United Press" despatch from Mania stated that the Hongkong Governor had recently telegraphed

ex-

the British Foreign Office, advising the establishment of branches of the Ministry of Economie Warfare in Hongkong, Shanghai and Singapore,

the of controlling for the purpose

of war commodilics to Russia, port

also Hongkong naval circles aro stated to have urged that strong re- presentations be made to London for the establishment of a Contraband Control station in the British Colony, because of the increasing number of ships being chartered by Hongkong firms for trading with Vindivostok.

Exports From Hongkong The "United Press", despatch claim- ed that Hongkong business firms re- cently chartered two former Nor- wegian vessels for the Vladivostok run and one of these ships recently returned to the British Colony In ballast after taking 60,000 chests of ten to Russia.

"Foreign trade advisers to the under- Chinese Government were stood to be urging Chungking to closely scrutinise existing agreements with Russia, since the latter was up- parently taking advantage of the bar- ter agreement in order to fuldt Soviet obligations under the Russo-German trade pact," the message stated.

Shipping circles in Manila state that two steamers recently left the Philippines capital with cargoes copper ore, en route to Vladivostok.

on

Summoned for importing unmani- fest cargo into the Colony February 16, consisting of $61,000 in Chinese National Currency, Lo Kun, of 179 Queen's Road Central, appear- ed before Mr. Sheldon at Central Magistracy this morning and was fined $200. The $01,000 was return- ed to defendant.

Sentor Revenue Offeer Grimmitt said Lo arrived in the Colony on the Kau Tung from Macao carrying the sultease When questioned regarding the contents, Lo sold it had not been manifested, and was then talten to the Import and Export Office.

The Hon. Mr. M. K. Lo, for de- fendant, referred to a previous judg- ment by another Magistrate for a sillar offence, and said he felt that it was very difficult for a man to feel that he was infringing the laws of Hongkong by bringing a suitcase with him in his cabin.

The only other point was the mat- ter of penalty.

Defendants in previous Test cases were fined a dollar cach,
