Red Invasion Alarms

Helsinki, Finland Finnish states
men have appealed to the world for
cooperating in stemming the tide
of oriental hordes seeking to over
run Western Europe in Russia's de-
termination to destroy, first, the
Scandinavian democracies, and I'LL
timately make the Bolsheviks mas
ters of Germany, France and pos
sibly Britain. Sweden, Norway and
Denmark are next in the Soviet's
program of aggression If Finland
should be destroyed. This would
leave Belgium and the Netherlands
as their remaining detectives, with
or without Hitler's help. If the
Soviet follows its procedure in Po-
land, Germany would be only a jun
Tor partner, or even frozen out en-
tirely, in dividing the spoils Of a
reign Of Communism planned on a
scale of conquest never before pro-
jected since the European invasion
Of the savage Huns.

top of tall stump in which was a
little hollow where he had stored
away some seeds. It was a stump
in which he would not have cared
to have Buster Bear find him. He
was so busy with those seeds that he
forgot to keep his usual sharp
watch. So he was more than star
tied when he heard a growing whine
and peeped out to see Buster Bear

that something was wrong. OF

Now you might think that White
foot would have been glad when he
saw Buster Bear in trouble, You
know Buster has tried many, many
times to catch Whitefoot. But
Whitefoot didn't feel that way at all.

was clear that Buster was very un-
