...shippers are not in business for their health. Finland is fighting for its life; some observers think, for more lives than its own. Last week U. S. shippers were sending to Finland's mortal enemy, Soviet Russia, copper, wheat, oil, other materials. They indicated that shipments would continue so long as the State Department allows (see p. 69). Meanwhile, last week, the Congress of the U. S. tepidly gestured its sympathy for beleaguered Finland...
...Soviet Union's pioneerland, a vast (2,316,600 sq. mi.), cold, potentially rich region, bigger than the West that lay before the pioneering U. S. 100 years ago. Since 1932 the U. S. S.

There is a shortage of accessories. . . . The textile situation is acute...
...Copper. Not since October has the price of copper budged. At that time all leading producers put the price up to 12½?. Last week the price was split three ways on the downside. Buyers were sitting tight and production was running on. So the No. 1 U. S. copper customs smelter, American Smelting & Refining Co., began taking odd-lot orders at 12¼?, while its competitors were hopefully holding out for 12½?. Meanwhile, export copper and the price of a couple of marginal units slipped...
