When the independence Of Fin

premier. He trusted the promise Of
the new Russian government to re-
spect his country's independence
and hence was allied with the red
forces of Finland and Russia. The
sudden ascendancy Of the Bolshe-
viks launched the White" army
drive against him, and its success,
under the leadership of Baron
Mannerheim, Finland's field mar

That was in May. 1918.

to Archangel, and continued his

was dodging around the Baltic, try

some of his fellow exiles to a

moved down to Fitchburg.

GENEVA, Dec. 4.-The League ot

Finland, invoking the Leagues
seldom-used machinery for settling
international disputes, demanded
necessary measures to put an end
to this aggression. Russia is a

British-French allies and Germany

their role should be an inactive one,

to do with creating the popular SEN

any other individual. Also In the

California. another Republican, who
saw the problem from the military

the Soviet government had pre-
vented the adoption Of policies
which might have frustrated the
imperialistic ventures Of Japan"
The chief factor, however, in clos
ing the oflcial breach between Rus
sia and the United States was the
keen desire Of the administration,
rejecting a widespread desire among
both farmers and manufacturers. to
open up new trade opportunities in
Russia. We were particularly eager
at the time to get rid of an un-
manageable surplus of cotton. Pres

Next to Senator Borah, perhaps
the most effective advocate of recog-

headed Col Hugh L. Cooper of New
York, who had been the engineer
of the great Dnieper River hydro
electric project in Russia. AS the
head of the Russian American
