Real wars are In progress in two
localities. While public attention is
torrid in those directions there is a
fair chance for starting trouble else
where without interference from the
outside. Russia is again at her old
game Of Gripping Finland. A dozen
years ago a deadly blow was dealt to
the constitution Of Finland. This was
consistently followed up by a policy
of intimidation and persistent inter-
ference with the constitutional and
statutory government of the grand
duchy. Then were the reverses in the
Far East, and Finland was treated
more considerably. But only for a
time. Slowly but surely Russia is
crushing Finnish liberty to death. For
hundred years Finland has served
as a sort of pillow preventing col
lisions between Russia on the one
hand and Sweden and Norway on the
other: The ABSORPTION of Finland by
Russia would bring the latter in con-
tract with the Independent countries
Of the Scandinavian peninsula for q
distance of hundreds OF miles. This
eventuality gives to Russian agrees
sion in Finland a European aspect of
great movement. AS might be expect
ed. there is an uneasy feeling in Scan
dinavian countries over the fear that
Russia's aggression on Finland is only
step in Russian attempt at expansion
westward. England, too, is concerned.
She is fully awake to the loss of her
commerce that would follow: the COM
plete fall Of Finland. In part, there is
general feeling in Scandinavia that
England will run serious risks in the
Interest Of the Independence of Scan
dinavia. The trade Of these countries
Is worth good deal even to such q
great and powerful country as Eng
land, and the connection between the
royal house Of England and those of
Scandinavia counts for much in the
mind Of the average Scandinavian. At
any rate, it may be put down as q
tact that the policy Of Russia in Fin
land Is matter of grave concern to
the powers of northwestern Europe,
and history knows that great wars
have been caused by grievances less
serious than those of the Finland Of
our day. .: .-.......
Washington.-Norway and Sweden,
through their diplomatic representa-
tfves here, have requested the United
States to grant to them, under the
favored nations clause of their trea-
ties, the same privileges given to Can
ada by section 2 of the reciprocity
agreement, by which wood pulp and
print paper are admitted free of duty
into the United States. Those re-
quests place formally before the state
department the question Of whether
wood pulp and print paper can be adj
mitted free from other countries than
Canada under the favored nation
clauses in the existing treatries be-
tween the United States and those
countries. Officials Of the state de-
partment are in consultation on the
subject with officials of the customs
service Of the treasury department
and final decision will not be made
