decide the countrys fate by secret vote The
Soviet government seems to have paid not the
last attention to these terms"
Concerning Fnlands share In this conflict the
London Morning Post recently published corrc-
spondence from Hesingfors including the following:
The rising is an embarrassment, and nothing
else, to Finland, and nobody understanding the
situation here could possibly suppose that the gov
ernment had nstigated or welcomed it. II Fin
land wanted with Soviet Russia, rising in
Eastern Karelia would, of course, be the obvious
pretext. But the governments policy is peace and
the maintenance of the best relations possible with
Soviet Russia. NJ. Vennolas government, in pur-
suit of its IDEAL has borne patiently ceascess sights
and annoyances. Nor would the general feeling in
the country justify the government in reversing
its policy on the Karelsns' account. Although the
people of Eastern Karelia-a vast inhospitabe area
with only ~ inhabitants to the square kilometer-
the predominantly Finnish in race, those who arc
eager to incorporate them with Finland national
grounds are small minority. There is no doubt
that volunteers have secretly made their way to
Eastern Karelia, and it is likely that material,
though probably only small quantity, has been
sent across the frontier but those concerned in
these proceedings a small fraction of the Fin
nish people, and they are in way encouraged
by the government"
The Posts article concludes with the state
ment that many people Of Finland feel that Fin
land owes debt of honor to look after the in
terests of the East Karelians through diplomatic
means. The article says Finland is trying to fulfill
this obligation "by doing her utmost to induce
Soviet Russia to give the East Karelans their
rights and proper treatment and, at the same time,
to interest the other nations. individually and as
crystallized in the league of nations council in
their misfortunes'
In the light OF Trotsky's recent declaration
that, in 1922, the boundaries of Russia more
likely to be expanded than contracted, it is clear
that separation for the Eastern Karelians is out OF
the question The most they hope for is a
provincial Soviet. When Russia Redder than
it is and more shut off from the rest of the world
than it is. this friction with Finland might have
led to war; Now, it is most unlikely that it will.

Public Competent Art Judge.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
The discussion of s"Art juries at
varience NTH public views" upon
the suggestion of T. w. Gilmer
that the art-loving public should be
represented on such juries in max
ing prize awards. has been continued
IN a recent issue of the Washington
Star. in which the Star quotes "one
eminent local art authority" to the
effect that one layman on a jury or
Ave might please the public but
could influence the verdict but

as soon as a man begins to learn
something of art he begins TO Judge

This would seem to indicate that
a little learning in art as in other
fields is a dangerous thing. The
main point is that the juries should
judge the pictures-not art in the
abstract. must less the TECHNICAL
ties of art. The painters might do

who may be to them unknown and
unknowable-
The object of art is surely to
please the publicly presenting
works of beauty, interest and in
spiration-but over all to give
pleasure. and the public is most
competent to know and say IL it is
pleased or not. There seems to be
ground for going further than Mr..
Gilmer's suggestion and holding
that the jury of awards should be
composed of art critics, represent

painter instead of one layman on a

Brief for Dirt Farmers.

To the Editor. The wsshinEtou Herald:
I don't see many farmers letters
in the Open Court; possibly it is not
open" to such.
We plain dirt diGGers fail to fnc
our names among those summoned
to the farmer rarlcy at Wash
InEton.
Representatives OF many inter
ests" allied to farming seem 10 be
eagerly" accepting invitations.
1t is curious how many presidents
Of associations. railroads ard other
exploiters OF agriculture and pro-
duction flock to these conferences
TO aid agriculture"
Can it be that the approaching
election. or the growing power OF
the much dreaded Farm Bloc" or
the national. a nj the various State
farm bureaus and hundreds of
other farmer organizations have
any Significance in this sudden
furry Of farmer philanthropy?
Real farmers have lost much OF
their old-time fervor over partisan
politics, having just passed through
l terrible period of hard times and
seCing an indefinite continuation
they are taking account OF stock.
The well-posted farmer finds that.
during the past year. crop values
have fallen $500. 100000. despite
the increased acreage sown; that his
average loss was s565 per farm; ne
Fnows that thousands of farmers
went broke. while other thousands
lost many times this average. and
iegions of them have crops on hand
that cost to raise far more than
they ever will be worth.
The very Fellows VINO prodded the

feed Europe" were the first to yeii

farmer was Debated first-he is still
Debated.
The only reason the banks and
other money sharks don't foreclose
their mortgages on our millions OF
fans and farm equipment Is that
they cannot use or sell them. In
telligeut farmers know that as soon
as there is a demand for farms the
banks will foreclose on most Of the
mortgaged farms In the United
States.

Defends Government Hotels.
To the Editor. Tie wa.hinr,on He,ld;

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
AS a guest OF the government ho-
tells I was greatly interested in a
letter entitled Asks Dorpiitory
Abandonment" which appeared in a
recent issue of The Herald. fully
agreed with the writer when he
said that the government did a very
wise thing in the construction and
operation OF these hotels. He said
that they served splendid pur-
pose during the war; hut ! think
that I am voicing the sentiment of
hundreds of government workers
when say that they are still serv-
ing a splendid purpose and that
they should not be torn down. /
they are not operated at "an actual
loss" to the government.
Being in sympathy with the hun
dreds of the best citizens" who
have rooms to rent, would offer
them a few suggestions. II they
will reduce their rents and give
their roomers all the privileges that
are enjoyed by the ladies at the
government hotels, they, will hnd
less difficulty in renting their
rooms. They should provide sum
cient heat to make their houses
comfortable, and they should not
try to regulate the number OF baths
that their roomers should take. 1t
is also bad policy to have a rising
and retiring schedule for every
body in a house. and roomers do
not feel kindly toward an economi-
cal Iandlady who turns off the cleo
trio current when they are dress
ing on a dark winter morning.
1t may he true that there are
hundreds of vacant rooms in this
city. but most Of them. are desir-
able only in the estimation of those
who offer them for rent. We do not
need any sympathy on account of
living in government quarters that
are none too good" They are good
enough for us at present. We
greatly enjoy the tub and shower
baths, the comfortable rooms,
equipped with lavatory. and the
many parlors where we may en-
tertaip our friends seven nights in
a week and nobody cares-so long
as we conduct ourselves with pro-
priety.

are among the chief advantages.

clothes most any time-up to mid

anybody.
know these hotels have great
advantages over the average room

ence. / came to this city in the
autumn of 1917, and immediately |
was disheartened while looking for
a comfortable room. 1t was only
after ] had looked in forty-dve
places that I found anything. that

the houses were dark and dirty and
many parlors were used dhly for

landlady that her rooms were to be
rented only to men-preferably or
fcers. Women and girls were too
bothersome. Now these same land
ladies would like to rent rooms to
us. Should we accommodate them?
Here's hoping that the govern
ment hotels may live long and
prosper" and may the time be not
far distant when similar accommo-
dations will be provided for our
brothers and our friends brothers

Fighting In Karelia,

n LITTLE over year ago, opponents OF the

useless because number of minor wars were in
progress or threatened. Now, that wars have prac-
ticaly vanished, these people should be procIaimng
the efficacy of the league. They aren't doing it
OF course, but let that pass. 1t is sufficient cruelty
to them that they are deprived of the wars out of

pointed fashion, they survey the world today and
find only Greece and Nationalist Turkey facing
each other under arms, but apparently not fight

Occasionally dispatches come from Moscow or
IRON Hclsngfors giving scraps of news or inycn-
tion concerning the conflict between these East
Ksrclian rebels who wish to break awav from
Soviet Russia and the Soviet forces Some time
ago, told OF successes by the rebels; later
came the report that the Bolshevik army had
opened heavy cannonadc. Then, we had A re-
port of notable Soviet victory The universal
opinion seems to have been that the Karelians
wer' making hopeless struggle that whatever
initial victories they might gain would certainly
be unimportant in staving off the inevitable triumph
of the Red forces. More interest has been taken
IN the question Of whether not Finland has
been concerned in the Karelian uprising and the
possibility of hostilitics between Soviet Russia and
Finland.
Some time ago. the Manchester Guardian, in
giving some facts in regard to the Karean trouble
stated
For several weeks there has been a rising
against the Soviet government in East KareIia the
little buffer province between Russia and Southeast
Finland, which confirmed as Russian territory
in the treaty of Dorpat but which has sympathetic
memories of its allegiance to Finland in a remote
past 1t was in fact, annexed from Finland bv
Peter the Great The revolt has little strength in
face of Russia, but it has enough to carry on
guerrilla warfare and engage political and military
attention from the Moscow government As already
briefly reported the Russian government holds the
Finnish government responsible for instigatinp the
rising and supporting it; and Finland while denv
ing all completely, has received an appeal from the
East Karelians and sent to the league of nations
council request for intervention"
Foreign Minister Tchitcherin of Russia claims
the East karelians armed and organized in
Finland and led by Finnish officers. He claims the
uprising could not have been thus carried out with
out the knowledge of the Finnish authorities The

marked:
"If America wants a feet. sure
