The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1934-02-23

Carl III. Salminen where the writer first
saw the light of day, has of late
received unusual attention from the
people of the United States. I should
like to guide my readers through the
beautiful land of thousand lakes
I should say ten of thousands and tell
what 1 know of Suomi though I am
restricted in space.
The chief industries of Suomi are:
Agriculture, dairying, forestry, lumber
ing and the manufacture of paper. The
exports are: products of wood, both
finished and unfinished; pulpwood and
paper; butter, cheese and other dairy
products. England, Germany, France
and the United States are the principal
buyers. When speaking of the forests
of Suomi it is well to remember that
the value of the forests there is the
greatest in all Europe, excepting Russia.
Tmee-fourths of the country is covered
by scientifically cared for forests and
increases the wealth of the country ten
per cent annually. Our own forest ex-
perts declare that the timber lands of
Suomi are the best cared for in the
world.
Regardless of the worldwide de-
preston the economical condition of
Suomi is in excellent shape. The un-
employment question is not as serious
as it is in many countries of Europe.
Labor difficulties are seldom heard of
and plans for relief work were laid out
before the times became critical. During
past years the exports have been con-
siderably greater than the imports. AT
the end of September trade conditions
showed more than billion marks
credit, though the fiscal year was not
yet ended. The Finnish mark is well
on its way to sterilization. During the
past year the confidence of the United
States in Suomi has increased greatly,
as this little country has been prompt in
paying her war debt to Uncle Sam
The culture of Suomi is abreast with
the Scandinavian countries, Sweden,
Norway and Denmark. Illiteracy is the
least of any nation on earth, only nine
tenths of one per cent. Public school
education is compulsory and institutions
for higher education are found not only
in the cities but also in the country.
The Finnish farmer has both a prac-
teal and scientific training.
In Finnish muSic-Suffice it to men
ton only one name, Prof. Jean Sibelius.
And in Finnish architecture we shall
only mention one name, that of Prof
Eliel Saarinen, who gave so much to
the United States and even now is
living here. He has gained fame all
over the world. The same is true of the
other arts; painting; sculpture, the
opera and the play, and literature have
awakened interest by their originality.
Kalevala, the national epic, has been
and still is the source of inspiration for
different artists. The various Finnish
arts have received much attention at
various exhibitions; the latest was in
Italy where Suomi was given second
place.
The cooperative movement has
spread over the country and is used in
many different phases of life. The i'm
portant public utilities are owned by
the government, the railroads, telephone

Suomi, better known as Finland, is
the northern-most republic in the world,
lying, like an infant, in the arms of the
Gulf of Bothnia and the Gulf of Fin
land. The population is nearly four
millions, its area is 144,255 square miles
and about one-eighth of this is lakes
and rivers. The greater part of the
country is covered with forests. The

Casey said at one point, that If the

that Is du Pont-controlled venture.
1T was always very embarrassing

Clark checked Casey's explanation
OF the Chinese powder sales at another
point by saying:
Your explanation doesn't touch

Munitions Workers Praised.
Winding up his inquiry into activ-
tiles under the Chinese embargo, Clark
said:
THE United States, in comparison
with other nations. has a right to be
proud at the way its munitions manu-
facturerS conducted themselves"
Clark asked If the deaths from Chi

"got busy" at Washington when
rumors were received that an embargo
was to be proclaimed was presented
later.
F.. J. Monaghan, export manager for
the Remington Co., repudiated the i'm
plications of letter he had written
that I'VE reached some mighty high
officials on the embargo matter.
He also said he had exaggerated"
and certainly was over stepping
when he used the word kill with
reference to embargo legislation. The
witness explained that he meant his
company would appear in congress
sional hearings and present its views
to the departments.
I'VE have often found" he said,
that members of Congress are glad
to have any observations we make"
Monaghan's frequent dispute with
Pope over words used in his letter led
Senator Clark to remark:
IF we left out of this letter all of
letter wouldn't have meant much"
Senator Monaghan explained, re
member this was just sales letter"
Testimony had been received that
the Remington company sold 20,000,-
900 cartridges to Bolivia during 1888
and in l934-before shipments we're
embargoed by President Roosevelt on
May %.
Only 100000 cartridges were sold to
Paraguay during the same period and
he understood these were for nom
military purposes
H. F. Beebe, officer OF Winchester
Arms, said his company had sold
about $4,000 cartridges to Bolivia
during the same period and none to
Paraguay.
1t was brought out that Paraguay
bought most of her supplies abroad.
Tells of Examining Files.
Opening the hearing today. Senator
Clark asked Stephen RaushenbuSh,
chief Investigator for the committee,
if he had seen all State Department
files.
q,
even the confidential ones" Raushen-
bush replied.
Did you find there anything pre-
liminary TO the meeting held at the
Commerce Department at which arms
makers conferred with delegates to
the Geneva meeting?'
Nothing whatever" Raushenbush
replied.
Frank B. Kellogg became Secretary
of State on March 4. 1925.
Raushenbush added that he found
mimeographed report on the con-
ference which he said was prepared
by the arms makers.
Hoover, at Palo Alto yesterday, said
the files should contain the full Gov
eminent report and details of the con-
ference. Raushenbush said he did not
find such report.
The only alternative I can see. "
he said outside the committee room,
is that the State Department didn't
show us everything"

Brutal Treatment Charged By Ill

Yugoslav resentment over their coun-
trymen's alleged completely in the as
sassination of King Alexander

homeland today.
Exhausted, bedraggled and detected,
they told narrowing stories OF hard

came tales of severe treatment by
Yugoslav soldiery. Many related they

given no time to gather their baggage

posits from the banks.
Native Tongue Forgotten.
Most of them carried their few pos
sessions in bandanas at the end of
sticks. Scores of the refugees said
they had lived in Yugoslavia 80 and
40 years and had all but forgotten
their native tongue.
So far 1,400 deportees have been

arrived this morning for conference
with Premier Goemboes.
Several hundred of the refugees
already have reached Budapest and
excitement here is intense. Angry
threats have been uttered against
YugoSlavia.
In addition to the 20 government
representatives at Szeged. another
commission is to be sent there tonight.
Police have been modified to pre-
vent demonstrations and incidents
likely to embroil this country further
with Yugoslavia The police are keep
ing an especially vigilant eye on the
university students, who it was feared
would attempt violent manifestations
against Yugoslavia.
Government Urges Calm.
The government represented itself
as laboring diligently to prevent serious
incidents at the Yugoslav-Hungarian
border.
Refugees told listeners that the
Yugoslav Army was in an ugly mood
They said Hungarian residents in
Yug0SlaVia had been pulled out of
bed in the middle of the night and
made to walk half-dressed to a rail-
road station, where a train was wait
ing to take them to the border. In enc
case, it was alleged that soldiers had
eXtinguiShed all the lamps in the
streets so the public could not see
the half-naked Hungarians being
marched to the station.
Among the refugees arriving was a
72-year- -old Hungarian mother, whose
son is serving in the Yugoslav Army
Another woman said she was forced
to leave her 83-year-old mother while
the latter was receiving the last sacra-
ment for the dying. One aged man
was seen carrying his crippled wife
on his back.
The refugees included numbers of
Croatians and Bavarians, whose fam
lilies have lived in Yugoslavia for the
last 200 years. There were a number
of children suffering from influenza.
Groups of weeping women and chill
dren were sitting distractedly on their
bundles and baggage at various rail-
road stations
An American tourist who en-
countered the refugees at Subotica,
Yugoslavia, said one little girl had
tag tied to her coat with her fathers
address in Hungary written on it.

HOOVER PINS ARMS.
BLAME ON SENATE
Ex-President Says Geneva
Convention Failed Because
of InaCtion Here.
By the Associated Press.


PALO ALTO, Calf, December g.
Responsibility for the failure of the
1925 Geneva convention for the control
of international arms shipments yes
terday was placed on the United States
Senate by former President Herbert
Hoover
A conference of sporting arms manu-
facturers was called by Hoover in 1925
when he was Secretary of Commerce,
preliminary to an international con-
vention on arms in general in Europe.
The result of the latter convention was
an international treaty to control arms
traffic. 1t was signed by the United
States, but not ratified by the Senate
During eight years, from 1925 to
1888, its ratification was held up by the
Senate and probably is yet" Mr.. Hoover
said
Commenting further on the report
to the Senate Munitions Investigating
Committee of a successful concerted
effort by gun makers throughout the
world to modify the Geneva convention
purposes. Mr.. Hoover said:
THE full report and details of the
conference OF sporting arms manu-
facturers which was called by myself
as Secretary of Commerce in 1925, are
no doubt in the State Department.
THE conference was called at the
request of the Secretary of State and
for the purpose of giving a hearing
to the manufacturers views as to the
methods of discriminating between
sporting arms on one hand and war
arms on the other"
AS late as January 10, 1888. again
urged its ratification and called the
attention of the Senate to the fact
that it had now been ratified by a
large number of other nations, and
that its failure of adoption in the world
was largely because of the failure of
the United States" Mr.. Hoover said.
