The Finns, after a very gallant sistance, have yielded to the inevitable pressure of Russia’s numbers and superior military strength. The brave defenders of the Karelian peninsula see the fruits of their battle lost and with them, vital areas in Finland, which practically leave the re- public at the mercy of its huge antagonist. | Congressman Dies has returned to Washington from Florida thoroughly sun- burned, and pitches into the affairs of his invéstigating committee. He has lost many of his victims as Communists are getting scarce in this country as a result of the Finland affair. Still there are lots of “feds” that need to be scrutiny by these Congressional sleuths. Every democratic candidate for the presidency, with the exception of Vice Président Garner, has openly stated that | he is séeKing the nomination only if the President does not want it. What a pathe- | tic revelation of wéaknéss; commentary on manhdod; what a cowardly | admission of impotence!

Under almost ideal conditions, 200 youths from unfortunate families are housed, clothed, fed and trained under competent leaders. Ir return for their maintenance, a little cash for their own | personal use and fairly good federal checks to their families, the CCC enrollees at West Summerland Key are developing | Florida Keys under a program worked out | | by the Overseas Road and Toll’ Bridge | District and the National Park Service.

In the first twenty- seven weeks of the war, 178 neutral vessels have beer sunk. The British, according to neutral estimates, have lost only 184 k ships, Norway has’ been the chief victim of Germany’s campaign at sea but Sweden, | Denmark, Belgium and The Netherlands | have also felt the effects of Germany’s submarine campaign. The Germans _ in- sist that they have “reversed” the block- ade against Great Britain and the “figures indicate that they have inflicted a block- ade against the smaller nations.” If Great Britain is starved into sub- mission by the German warfare at sea, it seems probable that the neutral nations | north of Germany will also be starved in the process. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE “There is a difference between mak- ing war and killing neutrals,” asserts the Amsterdam Handelsblad jin protesting the j torpedoing of merchant ships of the Netherlands ‘by German submarines. Since the beginning of the war this small héutral country has suffered «the loss of a number of ships, together with the lives of 200 seamen. Steamers carry- | | ing food for Amsterdam have been sunk because they might visit an English port. at night.
