The possibility of aiding small
business with government loans has
long been an active though quiet,
political issue. Back in Hoover's
day tie RFC began provi ing eer-
tain kinds of large business with
help when needed principally
those in which the publc's finan
cial interest was widespread. A We
ry large part of these loans have
been repaid, and lie probability is
that all but a microscopic percen-
tage of loans still outstanding will
eventually be met.
Making safe loans to small bus
mess without sufficient credit TO
obtain bank loans is on the ragged
edge of failure, due to poor man
agement, competitive conditions or
some other bad cause, and to lend
to it would simply amount futile
ly pouring good money after bad.
Inasmuch as the loans in each case
would necessarily be confined to
relatively small amounts, bhe cos
of overhead and superyision might
be outrageously high. And, once
the principle of government loans
DO small business was established,
it is highly probable that a verita-
BILE flood of applications, reasona-
BILE and unreasonable, honest and
dishonest, would flow in.
Five years ago Congress ausho-
rized the RFC to make loans to
little business under certain CIR
cumstances, and last year this bo-
dy's lending powers were further
broadened. But | title happened.
Bulk of the business men applying
for money reported that in their
view. the RIGS standards were
too high, and that any concern
which could qualify could get mon
ey from banks with less red tape.
Upshot of all this is a new act,
the Mead Bill, which proposes taat
the government shoot the works
in providing money for little bus
mess.
The Mead Bill is more or lese
similar to the FILA plan. It would
authorize the RFC to insure banks
against loss to the extent of SO
per cent of any business loan. Max
imun individual lean would be
$1,000, 900. Maximum time of pay
ment would be 10 years. Maximum
annual interest would be A per
cent. l payment fer the insur-
ance, TIE RFC would receive a por-
ton of the interest, ranging from
one fourth of one per cent to a
maximum of l percent, as condi-
tons warrant. The RFC is Civ

Aim "tO Win War"
The Premier's measure was intro
duced after he had said Frances war
aim simply was Ito win the war, "
and had given lengthy review OF
almost three months of the conflict.
M. Daladier recalled that among
the legislators before him were men
who during the course of their
! lives have seen their country raw
aged or menaced by Germany"
He was cheered when he added:
I'VE are resolved that we will
not see that again"
The time has not yet come to
speak publicly of the goals and con-
ditions of peace" the Premier told
the cheering deputies at the open
ing of the special session of Parlla-
ment
That peace can only be defined
along general lines. 1t already has
been, publicly and solemnly, by
France and Great Britain, closely
united by the tone of a single will.
I'VE want the peace and security
But what is necessary first is to win
the war. That is the sole aim
toward which we must bend all our
energies"
The Premier, who faced the legis-
lators to obtain renewal of his de-
cree powers which expired today
told them Frances forces were strong
enough to break the enemy's attacks
M. Daladier's declaration was in
terrupted by the entrance of Com
munist Deputy Florimond Bonte
who had been sought since his party
was dissolved.
Edouard Herriot, president of the
Chamber of Deputies, stopped the
session and ordered Bonte to leave
The deputy was escorted from the
chamber and placed under arrest.
A warrant had been out for Bonte
since october S.
M. Daladier interrupted his pre-
pared speech to declare ''the French
Parliament cannot stand the pres
ence of traitors!'
Bonte was one of group of the
diSbanded Communists who urged
peace talks with Germany. Most OF
them have been jailed.
Lauds Roosevelt.
M. Daladier earlier had referred
to President Roosevelt's noble ef-
forts to spare Europe from the ter.
rible test of new war"
United States Ambassador Will
liam c. Bullitt, who was in the diplo.
matte gallery, was given an ovation
by the Deputies during the Premier
pronouncement.
1T was with emotion that We
watched develop in the United
States the current of opinion which
led to the lifting of the embargo or
arms" M. Daladier said.
That decision has justified al
our confidence .. That the Ameri.
can people will abide by the rights
and duties of neutrality"

tees recently invented by totali-

Molotoff's speech was delivered at
midnight a pm, E. S. to from the
Moscow radio station, which set the
stage with a program of stirring
martial music and Red army march

In his broadcast Molotoff said that

Finnish artillery with firing across
the border last Sunday, killing or

Negotiations Broken November 13.
The Russian-Finnish controversy
began October 7, when Finland ac-
cepted MoscoW's invitation to con-
fer on Soviet demands for territorial
and military concessions. The nego-
tiations were broken off November
13 when the Finnish delegation was
recalled to Helsinki.
Discussing these negotiations,
Molotoff said Russia had patiently"
endeavored to reach agreement with
Finland on proposals which in the
present alarming international situa-
ton it regarded as the minimum
essential for insuring the security
of the country"
I'm these negotiations. the govern
ment of Finland adopted an atti-
tude of irreconciliable hostility to
our country" Molotof said He
added:
I'VE can no longer tolerate the
present situation for which the Fin
nish government bears full RESPONSE

decided it no longer can maintain
normal relations with Finland"

Finland offered to withdraw her
defense forces from her border with
Russia near Leningrad, as the
Soviet had demanded, and to sub

Although border patrols had been
ordered to move back at various
points to avoid clashes with Red
troops, Finland's previous refusal
to withdraw them IL to 16 miles
at Russia's insistence, led first to
the Soviet's denunciation of the
1882 Finnish-Soviet non-aggression
treaty and then to the break in
relations.
Foreign Minister Erkko made the
offer as a gesture toward peaceable

Is Delivered 10
Soviet Russia
No Comment in Moscow;
Little Hope Held for
Success of Move
(Molotof and Erkko terts,
Page A-16.)

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, Nov. 30.-The United
States delivered today to the Soviet
Russian government an offer of Its
services to mediate differences be-
tween Russia and Finland.
The offer was delivered amid dis
quieting foreign radio reports that
Soviet warplanes already hac
bombed the outskirts of Helsinki.
Vice Commissar for Foreign AZ
fairs Vladimir Potemkin accepted
the offer without comment, and the
feeling here was that the move
would prove futile.
In the absence of United States
Ambassador Laurence A. Stein
hardt, the United States mediation
offer was conveyed to Potemkin by
Walter Thurston, Embassy counsel
lor, acting on instructions from
Washington.
Mr.. Steinhardt was expected tc
arrive here by plane today from
Stockholm, where he has been un-
dergoing dental treatment.
Embassy officials said they hao
experienced difficulty in efforts tc
make an appointment with Premier

the Soviet.
In connection with the United
States mediation offer, the Second
Secretary of the American Embassy

nish Legation.
Finnish officials, preparing to re-
turn to Helsinki after Russia s sever
ing diplomatic relations with their
country last night, said they prob
ably would not be able to leave Mos
cow before tomorrow.
1t was learned that the Firms had
inquired of Potemkin concerning
the preparations for their departure
and were advised that there was nc
need for excessive haste.
Its a withdraWal-not a fight,
Potemkin was quoted as saying.
MolOtOff Gave Assurances.
The foreign radio reports that q
Russian invasion of Finland already
was under way came only few
hours after Molotoff had assured the
world in a radio address that Rus.
sia had no intention of infringing
Finnish independence
In a midnight broadcast, Molotof]
asserted:
The Soviet government has nc
intention to take any territories
from Finland and We are ready tC
meet it more than half way about
territorial questions. ."
Others state that we are against
Finnish independence. We consider
and will continue to consider Fin
land an independent state"
While denouncing the Finnish
government as "insolent" and the
tool of "imperiahstic powers, Molo-
toff asserted that Soviet military
preparations were intended solely
as safeguard
Our only aim" he said. "is to
guarantee the security of the Soviet
Union and, in particular. Leningrad
