HELP FOR FINLAND

Prospects Of aid for Finland from q third power
dmmed last week a. Sweden, Norway, England ana
France expressed sympathy" for the invaded nation
but took no other steps.
Finnish sympathizers and other observers here
voiced surprise that the other Scandinavian countries
seem unwilling TO aid Finland. As they pointed out
it Is probable that Russia will threaten the independ
ence Of Sweden and Norway she eonquers the
Films The peoples Of those countries recognize this
at present
First Of these Is the fact that the Scandinavian
nations in danger Of invasion by others than the
Russians. BY the underground" system reports
already leaking out Of Berlin that Hitler and
high Nazis considering quick snatch of SwedeI.
TO prevent the SoViets from advancing beyond Fin
land Even Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland
combined would stand little chance against such a
double invasion. And because Of her geographical
location Denmark already lives in constant dread Of
a Nazi attack
Then, too, Finlands neghbors are in no shape
for real struggle. Their populations are too small
TO supply manpOwer for fight with any nation 80
large Russia. Further, their economies have
and France, and Germany. Embargoes and sub
marine warfare have played havoc with their export
and shipping trades.
England and France already have their hands
full Also, they know that, sooner later, they will
have to defend vital interests IN Rumana or on some
other eastern front.
Thus, for the time at least it appears that Finland
must rely on her own resources. II she can hold out
until seething intngues involving the parts that
Italy and other neutrak are TO play, she may benefit
by the developments. Indeed, it 10 not entirely i'm
possible that Germany herself win turn on the
Soviets.

TIME TO CLEAN HOUSE

Even the President has taken notice of the wide
spread sentiment In this country to break off dipo-
matte relations with Russia. Coming as It did on
the heels Of the notorious Communist azi treaty the
Soviet invasion Of Finland aenated the last measure
Of sympathy and respect that most Americans had
for j. Stain and company.
President Roosevelt, while leaving his Admins
tration q Ioophole TO consider the matter, advised
against q break at this time He suggested that
such action by the United States might have
lettering effect some mysterious peace plans that
are supposed to be under way.
Certainly Mr.. Roosevelt 10 in a better position
than any other American to understand just what is
going on In Europe. He also should best be able
TO Judge what result diplomatic break would have.
However, to the average layman there seems little
purpose in delaying the break.
Our chief object in granting recognition to the
Soviet Union threefold: to establish a means of
settling diplomatic political and legal questions in
voing the two nations; to encourage trade, and to
provide an official system OF discussion and infor
nation, such as we enjoyed with other countries.
In 1886 the United States protested that Russia
had broken her promise not to spread propaganda in
this country The Soviets vigorously denied the
charge-and continued their subversive efforts here.
About the only trade Of importance between the two
countries has been the steady flow of agitators and
propaganda into America. During the recent "City
Of Flint" affair, diplomatic representatives were
deliberately misinformed and otherwise hindered in
their attempts TO obtain information and protect
interests.
About the only purpose served by the maintenance
0f cordial relations with the Soviet has been the
protection Of the vast Communistic propaganda sys-
TEN here. That's pretty stiff price to pay for
assisting in vague and uncertain hope for peace.

WN sERvcD

WASHINGTON. - Subcommfttees
Of the house committee on appropri-
atoms have started consideration Of
the various bills through which
money Is supplied each year for run
ming the federal government.
Among the first measures was that
appropriating money for the So
called independent Offices. These
are the agencies that operate at
Loose ends, 80 to speak, run their
own shows. make rules and regula-
tons which have the full force Of
regular laws and otherwise conduct
themselves as they see at. 2
The head men of each ok these
units Of government-and there are
- listed In the one appropriation
bin-are named by the President Of
the United States. They are not
elected by the people. The nearest
approach TO direct responsibility to
the citizens 10 that appointment Of
the head men must be confirmed
by the senate. Senate considers
ton, however. 10 limited only to ths
top executives. Scores Of policy
making officials beneath the first
rank are picked without taxpayers
having any sort OF say-so.
It Is well to recall Just here that
each Of these agencies was legally
created by congress. That 70. laws
were passed which established the
several boards, bureaus, commits
sions. administrations or whatever
other names they have. Many of
Us believe there are too many of
them, that the federal government
L. messing around In too many diff
ferent fields. Yet, the fact remains
that these agencies do exist and
consideration Of them and their pow
ers seems timely since the appro-
priations TO run them are being ex-
amined now.
The laws by which these agencies
were created are. In general, SUI
6ciently specific TO define their
jurisdiction. The thing that causes
trouble for the country. however, 10
one little paragraph that was In
cluded In each bill by which the
particular agency was given Life.
That paragraph reads. In effect:
authority Ii hereby given for the
PRONUNCIATION Of such rules and reg
ulations ~ the agency deems neces-
sary for administration Of this act
Makes Many Little Dictaf0rs
Instead Of One Big One Z.
That Is the rub. That one section
Of law gives to these arms Of the
federal government power that even
the most highly trained lawyer can
not fully calculate. On the surface
It seems safe enough. since the laws
terms are definite. but what the pro-
vision actually does Is to hand over
to groups of unelected officials the
right to say what congress meant
In the language written into law.
And. most important Of all, when
congress began to delegate such
authority years and years ago, 1t
began 10 build UP within the federal
government a form Of dictatorship.
The condition differs from the die
tatorship of Hitler and Stain only
In the tact that there are dozens Of
little dlctators instead Of one big
dictator. In the one appropriations
bill which I mentioned. there may
be even q thousand little dictators
If one considers all Of the head
men, the bureau chiefs, the divi-
sion ofiicials, the hard boiled law
yers who think their job is to per-
secute rather than enforce laws.

Lawyers Objects of Barbed
Darts From the President

lawyers generally have been SUBJ
jected TO barbed darts from Presi-
dent Roosevelt On one pretext or
another, Dir. Roosevelt has put tacks
in the seats Of lawyers pants ever
since he entered the White House.
Fundamentally. that criticism al
ways has been based In the Presi-
dents belief that lawyers were not
working in the public interest. Here,
then, it seems to me, L. q nns OPP
portunity. Inasmuch a. the asso-
ciation's governing body meets early
In 1910 and inasmuch az 1910 In q
year Of national elections, why.
ask, does not the bar association get
busy? Why not demand Of the can
didates for the house Of representa-
lives and the senate q pledge that
they act on some legislation that
win partially restore q representa-
tive form Of government a. distin-
guished from the thousand little die
tators now running our federal ma
chinery2
And in connection with what may
be done In seeking q solution for the
problem. want to suggest a rather
simple method. Let congress create
q joint committee Of representatives
and senators who would be empow.
cred to pass upon all Of these rules
and regulations that are issued In
the countless offices Of government.
Not only the 40 independent teach
ers' pets, but all arms Of the fed
eral government having the right to
set up enforcement powers.
It long has been regarded 40 q
prerogative Of congress to inquire
into the operations Of the executive
branch Of the government. Con-
gress has been Jealous Of that pre-
rogative, as It should be. II it would
create such q committee as I have
suggested, therefore, 1t would be q
means Of preventing the evils Of q
million rules about which congress
now has nothing to say and 1t would
restore to congress. as the elected
representatives Of the people, the
authority which 1t has foolishly given
away. And II there needs to be
face-saving on badly drawn laws,
congress would be able to do that
without having TO admit that It ID,
or has been. wrong.
EUen Lawyers Stumped at
Meaning of Many Documents
An exposition of all Of the phases
Of such a problem as government
rules and regulations Is extremely
difficult. Comparatively few law
yers In Washington can understand
all of the intricate language and
purposes Of the piles of printed
documents that emerge every day
from federal agencies, and these
lawyers. or many of them, have
devoted lives to constant study Of
such stuff. Imagine for yourself,
therefore, what fix you, unframed
In law. would be In II you attempted
to fight your own battles with an
arrogant. self-appointed interpreter
Of federal policy.
One Of the many reasons why I
am stressing the necessity for COR
rection Of this condition at once Is
that our government has expanded
so rapidly in the last six years.
Where there were rules and regula-
tons affecting only business a few
years ago, there are now great vol
umes Of rules and regulations az
fecting you and me. as individuals.

State Department
Well Represented,

Mrs. Henry F. Grady, attractive
wife of the newest Assistant Secre-
tary of State, accompanied her hus-
band and she resembled picture
in Vogue as she entered the White
House, wearing a long ermine coat
over her imported French gown.
Her dress was of white tulle made
on old-fashioned lines, with gold
accoutrements. Mrs. Grady COM
pleted her ensemble of white with
a corsage of delicate gardenias.
Two others of the Little Cabinet
contingent who greeted the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt were the
Assistant Secretary of State and
Mrs. George S. Messersmith. Mrs.
Messersmith wore a rich brocaded
gown of gold lame, made with the
wide skirt which is so popular
among Washington's fashionables
this season.
The Assistant Secretary of State
and Mrs. Adolf A. Berle, jr., two
very popular members of the Of
ficial set, were surrounded by
1rlendS all evening, and everyone
admired Mrs. Berle's picture dress
of dubonnet taffeta, made with a
full skirt and tiny sleeves, and
cut very low. Her shoes, bag and
gloves were of peach color, as was
the small tiara in her hair, and she
wore an emerald pendant to. COM
plete the charming costume.
In gray gown of pleated chif-
fon was Mrs. James Clement Dunn,
