Moscow, Monday, April s.-Ger-

to gain control OF northern Russia
and cut the interior Of European
/ Russia of from the arctic and Bal
tic This is the view of the Finnish
Esituation OF Oscar Toxic, former
premier Of Finland, and a COM
missioner for the Finnish rebel gov
ernment. nj. Toxic has made the
following statement to the Asso-
ciated Press
tfGermany is rapidly investing Fin
land and plans TO take control there,
jJst as in the Ukraine, and then
move with the White guards upon
Russia's p5rthern ports, thus cut
ting Russia of from the Arctic and
the Baltic. Thirty German warships,
transports and supply ships, partici-
pated in the movement on Hango on
April and about 1900 troops,
some cavalry and motor troops were
landed.
"The Germans are moving toward
Helsingfors and the Red guards are
putting up a stubborn resistance
with inferior forces Abo and
BjorneberR are now under German
control and White guards under
German ofiicers and supported by
German troops are moving on Tam
merfors. The White guards also are
moving eastward at several points
further north in order to reach the
Kola railway in Russia and cut of
Russia,s northern outlet. The soviet
at Murmansk is endeavoring to raise
sufficient troops to protect the rail-
way, but danger is imminent as
great forces are required to police
the long line"
M. Tokoi added that the Germans
had reached a complete understand
ing with the White guard. Recent
White guard actions in northern
Finland. he said, had embittered the
Norwegians and alarmed the Swedes
who fear that the White guards viii
invade their territory.

PLEA MADE TO HALT
NATIONWIDE STRIKE
Secretary Wilson Issues Az.
peal in Mooney Case.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-An appeal TO
che workers OF the country not to en-
gage in a nationwide strike as a pro-
test in the case of Thomas ]. Mooney
was issued to-day by Secretary OF
Labor Wilson.
In a telegram to Otto A. Hartwlg,
president of the Oregon State Fedora
o OF Labor, the Secretary said that
II the evidence now available is sufi-
Client to convince a jury hat there
has been a conspiracy to convict
Mooney there is every probability that
he will obtaA a new trial and have
his guilt or Innocence determined by a
Jury in the light Of the facts that are
known to exist"
The Secretary added the only effect
OF a strike would be to bring into
disrepute and tend to destroy the jury
system of trial, which is the result of
a thousand years struggle on the part
OF the masses to protect themselves
against criminals on the one .hand and
pronteertng on the other"
Many labor unions over the coun-
try have voted to strike December 0
as a protest In the Mooney cas- Their
action was taken before Gov. Stephens
committed Moneys death sentence TO
life Imprisonment, but officials of the
American Federation Of Labor have
publicly nnounce that the Gov
ernor's action did not meet the de-
mands OF labor In the case.
III Mooney has been guilty Of this
crime," said Mr.. Wilson's telegram,
tabor is not interested in protecting
him.. II he is innocent all Of our
people are interested in his acquittal.
No strike of the workers OF the coun-
try can facilitate these processes. 1
sincerely hope no strike will take
place"

wheat Prospects Good

OF next years prospects the report
says:
This fall the Department. the Agri-
cultural Colleges and other agencies
carried on a campaign for a large
wheat acreage. 1t was suggested that
at least As, 200. 900 acres OF wheat
should be planted. The informal indi-
cations are that the farmers exceeded
this.
For the ensuing months the nation
Is likely to be called upon for large
quantities OF available food and feeds
to supply not only the peoples with
whom we cooperated in the war, but
also those OF the neutrals ard the Cen
trail Powers. This will involve a con-
tinuation OF conservation on the part
Of our people and probably OF the
maintenance of q satisfactory range
OF prices for food products during the
period"
Increased values for all farm prod
ucts are shown. ION the basis of prices
that have recently prevailed" says the
report. "the value OF all crops pro-
duced in 1918 and OF live stock on
farms on January /. including horses,
mules. cattle, sheep, swine and poultry.

Continuation OF the form OF control
exercised over stockyards and pack
ing houses under wal powers Is
strongly recommended.
