should help fail TO come from
abroad, the Finnish nation is threaten
ed with dissolution and the people
with a dreadful lingering death by
starvation" said P. J. Valkeapaa,
special representative of the Finland
government, who was in Washington
yesterday for conferences with Food
Administration and shipping officials
OF the government.
Mr.. Valkeapaa has come to the
United States in the hope of obtaining
srain and other foodstuffs which he
says must be furnished or Finland
will perish.
Il feel greatly encouraged" he said,
and / am sure that the American
people will come to the rescue OF my
nation. OF course l know that your
resources are being sorely tsxed-but
where else can We go?''
Crime Follows Poverty.
As always happens, crime follows
in the path Of poverty. and the
Finnish people have seen acts COM
mitted which have not been Witness
ed since the times of the disturbances
over DO years ago. There is an in
crease in violations of the law of
every kind: thefts, open roDberies and
murders infallibly indicate that the
bands of society are giving away.
Now the Finnish ship of state has
weighed anchor and set forth on her
own course, but she will sink If help
is not forthcoming. The Finnish
people beg to be allowed to buy neces-
stiles of life at any price whatever
II it does not succeed in doing so,
this people, in its entirety. can be
written on the list of the wars
sacrifices"
Russian soldiers are confiscating
provisions and supplying weapons to
the lowest elements" continued Mr..
Valpeapaa, which of course makes
conditions much worse.
BIames Russia.
During the early stages Of the
war" he continued. the import of
grain and fodder from Russia was
sufficient. The country was urged by
Russia to develop an immense in
dustry in munitions of war. Even the
paper industry showed a powerful
advance.
The Finnish senate. which was
then composed almost entirely OF
Russians, arranged the food question
sOietS " 'hS 0ies's VI EeuOsIdo-
Nothing was done to increase native
production OF provisions, but by fix
ing the prices of farm products the
export OF such goods was effectively
encouraged"
Mr.. Valkeapaa has secured permis-
sion to transport 5000 tons of oats to
Finland, and this he considers quite
a substantial bit of help. He is now
engaged in trying TO secure the neceS-
sary transportation to get the grain
across.

PUBLICITY AND CRITICISM.

Congress shall make no law =
abridging the freedom of speech or of
the press" so reads clause in our
Constitution.
This Is wise provision. The citi-
zens of democracy should at all
times know OF ana be able to criticise
the management of their affairs. In
vestigation and criticism in the pres.
ent war have been of great benefit
In Fastening our preparation by point
ing out errors that have been made.
There is no doubt whatever that the
great safeguards in the conduct of the
war are almost unlimited publicity and
the right of criticism.
We are told that constructive crit
icism Is always welcome, but who is
to decide what Is constructive7 Why
not criticism without the adjective?
Most citizens believe that Universal
Military Training as corrective OF
our unpreparedness would have been
constructive. and yet 1t was not adopt
ed. Who can tell, II 1t had been ac-
cepted when first proposed, what the
result would have been on this war!
If we had had more publicity upon
the production of aeroplanes, shipping
and ordnance, the suggestions of think
ing men would unquestionably have
stimulated the rapidly with which
these articles were being produced.
and the delays that have occurred
might have been avoided.
There are things the Government
cannot make public. and these the peo-
pie do not ask to know. But In the
main full information concerning the
progress of preparation can safely be
given to the people. 1t is the peoples
war; It Is war supported by the peo-
pie, financially and physically, and
suggestions by them should be sought
and considered.

THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

Good Americans will indorse out
right the program of the National Sc
curity League to prevent the election
or reelection Of any members of Con
greSS this year who are not known to
be vigorous proponents of the war or
who can be lured to support any spe-
cious efforts at an inconcluSive peace.
The country needed such nonpoliti-
cal organization as the league to lead
the fight against the milk fed office
holders and office seekers who, in
many parts of the country are cater
ing to the hopes of the people that
the war may be ended. even though 1t
is not ended right. The league can
come to Colorado, for instance. and
build fires under two or three polti-
clans who probably will seek re-elec-
lions here and. without its motives be-
ing questioned, can expose the rank
pacifism which has featured their po-
litical careers.
Just how the war will terminate
vii eaepeAa RaHsl1z Hpopp fthss Hsnpad5tesa a
will do depends in great measure
upon Congress. If there is a strong
sentiment for premature peace in its
membership the task of putting
through our war program until our in
situations are absolutely safe will be
complicated. We are pledged now to
go through with the war by force.
| without stint or limit" and we must
support that pledge by electing men
to Congress who will "stay put" on
the issue until victory is Won
For that matter Americans should
be careful about electing anybody to
any office now who Is not clear-cut on
the war. Men of no particular force
In private life have much weight add
ed to their opinions when they are
clothed with the authority of office.
We cannot afford to have any such
backing the pacifists in the dark days
of the war that are to come. We must
make this poor season for yellow
dog" office seekers of whatever grade
or party or politics.-Colorado Springs
