T0 PREVENT DEATH Greater Part’of Finimd Will Die Unless This Gountry Assists, New York, Dec. 7.—Speedy death from hunger threatens the greater part of the population of Finland un- less they can’ obtain flour from the United States, asserts Dr. Kaarlo Ig- natius, commissioner of the Finnish government for negotiating the re- lease of foodstuffs by the United States government, in a statement to The Associated Press. The threat to Finland is not privation or even chronic starvation, he declares. Con- cerning Finland's needs and its causes, Dr. Ignatius said: “In regard to food supply, Finland is worse off than any of the Eu- ropean states whose sufferings have been brought before the American public. For months past, our people have been eating bread made out of flour mixed with pinebark and lich- ens; but even with this expedient we cannot hold out, as the flour reserve virtually is exhausted, and even our hardy population cannot eat unmixed bark. | “The sufferings endured in the sum- mer were terrible; and since I left Finland in September they have be- come much worse. Nothing can save us except the prompt release by the American government of the flour Wwhich we have already ordered and paid Yor in the United States. Finland Depends on Outside World.'l “Finland has never been self-sup/ porting as regards food. Her three and a half millions of people scat- tered over 373,000 square kilometres of territory, have depended largely upon foreign supplies of grain, in ex- change for which they exported for- estry products. Before the war, we imported annually about 400,000 tons .of breadstuffs; and of these about 50,- 000 tons came from the United States. The rest came from Russia. With war, the import from America ceased and as Russia’s own food troubles grew and her railroad service became disorganized, thie import from Russia ceased also. Then starvation began. “All I want is the release of enough flour to save us from death and hunger. Privation we have stood and are willing to stand. We ask for this concession and we base our demand upon justice as regards the past and XMAS PRESENTS FOR THE NMOTORIST of all description. Electric fes- toons for the tree.

These services have been of Finland loyally helped Russia as long as Russia was fighting, and she is willing to help in future if Russia resumes fighting. “During the war, Finland has been absolutely loyal. This in the face of great provocation by the now-extinct autocracy. In September 1914, in re- turn for Finnish expressions of loy- alty, Nicholas II issued a decree fur- ther suppressing the Finnish language and abolishing what little was left of our constitution. Yet we remained loyal. We mobilized our industries great value. | on a war basis with a thoroughness and efficiency which have been ac- knowledged repeatedly by the Petro- grad government. “All our cities, in particular Hol- singfore, Tammerfors,. and Abo at once became munition workshops. They supplied Russia with uniforms, boots, leather goods, shells, cartridges, and machine guns. In our ports we built destroyers and torpedo boats. The former Minister of War, General Polivanoff, informed a newspaper correspondent that Finland’s war in- dustries were flourishing and were a model to Russia.

Under normal condi- tions, we should have been paid for our munitions in Russian money and allowed to buy necessaries of life import Russian and foreign food- stuffs. In fact, we were flooded with Russian paper rubles; but were not either Russia or abroad. We got so far as to order breadstuffs in Russia; we for them in advance; and onal Government promised to allow their export to us: but owing to transport disorganizatin we got nothing. Thus we suffered directly from our help to Russia. If we had not concentrated on munitions mak- ing, we might have diverted our indus- trial labor into agricultural channels, and conditions would not have been quite so bad as they are. * “We supported Russia in other ways. As I10ng as we could, we sent her milk and butter. We supported a vast Russian naval and military garrison, which alone adds a big percentage to our population figure, and we support an innumerable army—estimated at 200,000—of civilian Russians; and thus relieve the food strain in Russia. “Justice demands that we ' should not be punished for our past sacri- fices. _Policy demands that we should be ensured against starvation in fu- ture. Our war industries are still mobilized; they are highly efficient; and if Russia continues the war, we can give her greater help than she can expect from her own inefficient and anarchical industries. But this will be possible only if we have the neces- sary food.
