America 10 Observe
Finland Day Today
With Donations
Nation RoIIies to
Aid Of Innocent
War Victims

America observes Finland Day"
today by opening its heart and its
purse to succor sister republic.
Americans in all walks Of life,
mindful of the bitter struggles of
their own Nation when it planted
the flag of democracy in the world,
have rallied behind the National
Committee of the Finnish Relief
Fund, Inc, composed of civic, pro-
fessional, church, business and gov
ernmental leaders, and headed by
former President Hoover. to save
the innocent war victims of Finland
from starvation and freezing. The
Star will receive contributions to
the fund.
The swift and overwhelming re-
sponse of the people of America to
Finlands plight points once again
the parallel between the history of
our own country and that Of the
Scandinavian republic.
Nation Pays Its Debts.
Proud of it's democracy, clinging
to constitution built on the archi-
lecture of the American Constitu-
ton, Finland boasts another SINH
larity with the United States in its
debt record. In a world in which
default on national debt is the rule
rather than the exception. Finland
since its birth has met its obliga-
tions on time. Only last Friday,
despite the desperate need for for
eign exchange, Minister Hjalmar j.
Procope gave Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau Finlands check for
its regular debt installment.
In physical contour, Finland has
terrain approximating that of the
Central Northwest States in this
country; similarity that led many
Firms to settle in Michigan. Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota in the latter half
of the last century and the pre-war
years of this century. The climate
of Southern Finland compares favor
ably with that of these American
States.
Progressive Nation.
A nation of farms and woodlands,
Finland turns to the soil for a great
part of its wealth, as did young
America, and following in the foot
steps of young America has, in the
last 20 years, built up its industrial
plants in the cities of Helsinki,
Viipuri and Tampere.
More progressive than most ma
tions Of Europe, Finland grants COM
plete political suffrage to its women.
They work side by side with their
men in the arts and sciences in free
companionship without the bitter
competition that sets man against
woman in other European nations.
Finland pioneered in Europe in max
ing ieducation compulsory, and i'm
plemented its laws by building new
schools and training thousands of
teachers to instruct the youth of the
country.
Like the American people. the
Firms tried prohibition and found it
wanting. In this, however, the
Firms set the pace for the United
States. They enacted their dry law
in 1916 and abandoned the noble
experiment. in 1882. When the
fight for repeal of the 18th amend
ment gained adherents in this coun-
try in 1888. the Finnish repealer was
frequently cited by opponents of the
dry law.

After fuming privately for several
days, District officials yesterday
thumped their desks, denying that
credit for large possible savings
under the proposed relocation of
District fire stations should go to
Grif1enhagen g. Associates, authors
of sweeping plans for reorganization
of the municipal government.
Instead, these District officials in
sisted, the credit for the idea and
the orders for the special Fire De-
partment survey, belongs to Repre-
sentative Collins. Democrat, of Mis-
sissippi who last year was in charge
of the District budget in the House
Possibilities of capital saving of
nearly 100000 and an annual saw
ing of some sAl,5O0 were raised in
the recently published report of the
special Fire Survey Board. headed
by Capt. Patrick H. Tansey, as
sistant engineer commissioner. The
report proposed the abandonment of
eight stations, sale of an unused
site, suggested number of shifts of
f1re-flghting companies, and the fu-
ture construction of several new
stations, along with other sugges-
tionS.
Everett Given Credit.
District officials began to boil"
last Wednesday when Representa-
tive Kennedy. Democrat. Of Mary
! land, chairman of the special Dis
trict Reorganization Committee of
the House District Committee, is
sued statement to the press gen.
orally giving credit for the prospec-
tive Fire Department savings to F..
O. Everett of the Griffenhagen
staff.
Yesterday their emotion boiled
over, and more than one District
Official insisted That just isn't So"
and they thumbed Official records
to prove their argument. They
granted that Mr. Everett last spring
had suggested savings under reor-
.ganlzation Of the physical plant of
the Fire Department, but these Dis
trict officials cited Chapter and
verse" to prove that the reorganiza-
ton experts did not originate the
idea nor the orders for the survey
One official called Capitol Hill for
further proof of the point, in the
hearing of a reporter for The Star.
First Suggested by Collins.
A year ago last spring, one leading
District official asserted, Mr.. Collins
suggested the possibilities of savings
to District taxpayers from relocation
OF District fire stations, a good por-
ton of which had been built back in
the days when horse drawn ap-
paratus was the style.
Nothing much came of that sug-
gestion, because of the death of
Charles E. Schrom, then chief engi-
neer of the District Fire Depart
ment, officials recalled, but last
March 9, when the Collins group
took up fire estimates, the records
shows, Mr.. Collins brought the sub
1ect to the attention of Stephen T.
Porter, the new fire chief.
After discussion of fire protec-
ton services and problems, the
official record shows. Mr.. Collins said
to Chief Porter: I'VE have great
hopes for your future, and we be-
lieve, that you could consolidate
great many of these (stations) since
we have automotlve equipment, in
stead of horse-drawn equipment, so
