In Geneva... The League of Nations, meeting in emergency debate, expels the Soviet Union after naming the USSR an aggressor in violation of treaties with Finland, the League Covenant and the Pact of Paris. The League also calls on its members to give all possible help to the Finns and agrees to coordinate international aid programs for the Finns..

In Berlin... Hitler order his Armed Forces High Command (OKW) to prepare plans for the invasion of Norway, code named Weserubung (Exercise Weber).

In the Winter War... The Finns continue a series of attacks on the Soviet 8th Army. Soviet forces launch a new drive near Petsamo.

In China... Chinese Nationalist forces occupy the town of Ningxian after a bitter clash with Chinese Communist forces.

In Mexico... The German liner Columbus (33,000 t) leaves Vera Cruz in an attempt to run home. The American cruiser Tuscaloosa shadows the ship, while on neutrality patrol, and broadcast its location on open radio.
