DER | on Finland.- The latter produced small results not | only in comparison with its cost to Russia in ma- terial and lives, but still more in comparison with its cost in prestige. The attack on Finland so complete- ly exposed Russia’s military weakness that it enor- mously reduced Stalin’s power to threaten diplomati- cally, while it correspondingly increased Hitler's power | to threaten Russia diplomatically and wring “colla- | boration” from her. Partly as a result of Russia's past policy Poland | and France are now out of the war. One by one Russia has seen the Balkan countries, which with a courageous policy she might have had as buffer states or as allles, come under German domination. Yugoslavia may soon become the last and greatest of these, Russia’s only potential allies in the Bal- kans in the event of a conflict with Germany are now Yugoslavia, Greece and Turkey. It may be said in defense of Stalin’s diplomacy that he has avoided a major war so far and that he has meanwhile expanded Russian territory. So far as expanse of territory is concerned, both Hun- gary and Bulgaria, instead of working for a Balkan alliance, got some pre-1914 territory from Rumania— and paid for it by vassalage. Russia’s expanded | boundaries now bring her directly against German | or German-occupied territory over an enormous fron- | tier. In the event of a Hitler victory, Russia would | have to fight without allies. It is no better position than this to which “the wily fox in the Kremlin” has {brought his country by his wiles.

This has been a stormy issue in Congress for years, the South and West claiming discrimination against them in favor of the so- called “official territory"—namely that part of the country lying north of the Potomac and east of the Mississippi. The South and West expected to have at least one member each on the board, which is empowered to recommend important rail rare changes.
