BY F. A. MACKENZIE Br Radio to Tar Star and Chicago Daily News. REVAL, Esthonia, May 30.—The visit of the President of Finland to Reval, following the recent visit of Esthonia’s state head, Jackson, to Riga, marks another step the unifi- cation of the Russian northern border states against feared Soviet aggres- thonia and Latvia already have ched a mutual military understand- ing which almost certainly will be fol- lowed next year by a commercial treaty removing the customs barrier betwe~n the two countries. Finland is more unwilling to come to a formal | understanding on defense, although the Finnish people would immediately rush to Esthonia’s aid as in 1919 necessary. See Real Danger. The recent proposal of Sweden's So- cialist government to reduce its mili- tary forces from six to four divisions is ‘hastening border state alliances. Latvia and Esthonia consider them- selves in reai danger. Reval made of the Finnish Presi- dent’s visit a two-day holiday for pub- lic rejoicing and the exchange of vows of close friendship. The main feature of the celebration was a great military parade upen Petersplatz, where the Esthonlan army assembled. Eight numerically weak battalions of regu lars were present, with five battalions of white guards besides squadrons of lancers awd three whippet tank Three monopianes and three biplanes flew overhead. The troops looked well trained and efficient, but only about a third of the regulars wore steel hel- mets. There was no evidence of chemi- cal warfare equipment, either offensive or_defensive. The white guards represent one of the most encouraging features of the Esthonian defense scheme. Since the Communists attempted their December putsch, volunteer white guards have been formed in every village and town. They are armed, officered and drilled by the regular army. Boys of 16 and men of 60 marched in the cele- bration parade, including every class, from teachers to laborers. Proud of Army. The Esthonians are tremendously proud of their army. One high offi- cial informed the writer it could hold up 500.000 Russians. Another declared | each Esthonian was capable of repel- ling 10 Russians. They apparently make the mistake of confounding the capacity of the present highly equip- ped Russian army with the ill equip- Ded red guards they defeated in 1919. Esthonian statesmen, recognizing that the border states, however valiant, could not hope long to stand alone if actual war came, are en. deavoring to secure still wider for. eign alliances. lHence the rumors in | the Russian press that Esthonia in tends to lease the islunds Dugo and Oesel to Great Britain as a naval base, | The writer found a keen desire among { one section of the Esthonfan public that Great Britain should occupy these fslunds, but no evidence what- ever that Gr to do so.
