In Ireland... In Dublin, IRA activists steal the entire reserves of small arms ammunition of the Irish Army (some 1.1 million rounds) stored in Phoenix Park. The bulk of the ammunition is recovered during massive Army-police searches over the next 11 days.
In the Winter War... A Finnish counterattack on the Karelian Isthmus is sharply rebuffed. The Finns suffer about 1500 casualties and call off the attack at nightfall. A stalemate ensues.
From Washington... A Pan-American protest is issued to the governments of Britain, France and Germany about the fighting inside the "security zone" during the battle of the River Plate. The detention and destruction of German merchant ships by British warships is also noted.
