Historical

The Finnish Government denied the shelling of Mainila (reported yesterday), claiming that the firing had come from the Soviet side of the border.

In Germany Aryans were given a 12-month deadline by which they had to divorce their Jewish spouses.  In Lublin, a labour camp holding about 45,000 Jews deported from other countries, an epidemic of typhus broke out.

It was decided that no Nobel Peace Prize would be awarded in 1939.
