Finland has ,inaugurated a new
land system. the object of which Is
TO create a large class of small land
holders. who would have no reason
to support revolutionary move-
ment in the future. The tenants
have been given the right to bury
the land they were renting. the
landlords have been compelled to
sell it to them. at the price which
prevailed in 1914. when values were
not inflated. The government Is Of
fering financial aid to the peasantry
through system OF loans which are
repaid in small sums annually. This
year n new law. sponsored by Minis
ter Kallio. perhaps the most popular
politician in Finland. has been adopt
cd by the Diet. Its aim Is further TO
break up the big estates, so as to
enable other peasants who belonged
to the class of cottagcrs to come into
possession OF land The new land
system is s:iil In process of realiza-
ton. The leading politicians in Fin
land frankly admit that they are de-
tcrmned not only to draw the peas
