demeanor charge
By CONSTANTINE BROWN.

ny SoINS AlN 1INE DnO"Ns
Little Finland is determined to 60
down fighting rather than sell out
to Russia.
The mobilization of 250.0O0 Finn
ish soldiers is not a bluff. The
Firms know how to handle the Rus
slams. During all the years the lit
tie country was under the heavy
boot of the Cars representatives
the Russian government was never
able to denationalize the Firms.
When the Bolshevist revolution dis
membered Russia, the Films pro-
claimed their independence with
out delay and when the Communist
troops tried to bring Finland back
under the Russian yoke they met
a stubborn resistance from the fee
BILE and poorly organized Finnish
Army.
The Firms are loving peo-
pie. but just because they love peace
they have organized one of the best
little armies in Eastern Europe. 1t
cannot be match for the Russians
once the bear decides to crush the
little republic in a deadly embrace,
but there is no doubt that the ar
mics and the peoples of Finland will
give far better account of them
selves in fight against Russia than
most of the nations in Eastern Eu-
rope.
The army has modern equipment
and sufficient munitions. It has an
advantageous strategic position on
account of the lakes and the
marshes which separate Finland
from the U. S. S. r. It has a small
but efficient aviation and the nation
has a tremendous love for freedom
and national independence.
The government of Finland is
prepared to meet most Of Russia S
demands for economic co-opera-
tion"-regardless of how onerous
they may be. But it is equally de-
termined to fight to the last man
and woman rather than permit Rus
sian garrisons in Finland and naval
bases for the Russian fleet
The Helsinski government is also
convinced that an attack on Finland
would rouse the American people
more than the German aggression on
Poland. There are no Russian mi
norities in Finland. At the time when
the Baltic republics were mere Rus
sian provinces ruled by a governor
appointed by st. Petersburg, Finland
was given degree of autonomy by
ths Imperial Russian government.
even in those days the Czarist re-
gime recognized Finland as a ma
tional entity.
Rightly or wrongly, the govern
ment of Finland believes that it can
get more than a mere moral support
from the United States if the Stain
regime decides to take by force what
they cannot get by negotiations.

tions to the warning nations in
Europe. He said he believed that
when the people on the West Coast
realize fully the effects of the bill
their feeling against 1t will be
aroused.
AS the debate continued, Senator
Davis, Republican of Pennsylvania,
offered an amendment that would
set up neutrality commission with
which the President would have to
consult before he issued the procla-
nations necessary to invoke the neu-
trality law. The commission would
consist of IS members, 8 represent

Tobey Plan Defeat Seen.
Both sides in the neutrality fight
forecast defeat of the Tobey pro-
posal to defer action on arms en-
barge repeal until a "cash-and-
carry" system of wartime trade is
adopted.
Opponents OF the adnainistra-
tons neutrality bill declared, how
ever, that the vote would not repre-
sent an accurate test of strength on
the repeal issue.
Senator Tobey, Republican, Of
New Hompshire, argued that since
there was little opposition to the
basic idea of banning American
ships and citizens from the Euro
pean war zone, those restrictions in
the pending measure should be
written into law Immediately.
I'VE cannot afford to keep Amer
lea in jeopardy" he told radio au-

abolish machine politics in Boston, for here in Boston, and very for tunately so, we have no machine politics.
 Many outstanding civic leaders do not present themselves for election. They do not do so because of the present system of electing the city council. They are prevented from doing so because they cannot afford the time.
 "There is no reason to believe that these men and women would change their attitude under proportional representation in the City Council.
 True representative government is based upon the principle ofe lect- ing men and women to public of- flee who are close to the people.
 If P. R. were in effect in Boston, it is not only possible but probable that several wards would be en- tirely deprived of representation This does not make for a true rep resentative government.
 Minority groups of larger num- bers might gain; the minority groups composed of small numbers would suffer.
 "One of the most troublesome fac- tors in government today arises out of the demands of organized poli- tical minorities who control great blocs of votes by virtue of their thorough organization, or from poli- tical opportunists who present a glowing Utopia as their platforms.

Proportional representation feat ured so prominently of late in Wa terbury by advocates of the City Manager Plan of government was held "undemocratic" and in effec- tive by Samuel H. Cohen, former state representative of Dorchester, Mass, in an address at the Town Meeting in Boston Tuesday evening. As far as MT. Cohen is concerned the P.

LOAN FIRMS PAY. HUGE FEES FOR.
 LOBBYING WORK.
Major Buckley, Prominent G. 0. P. Given $l5,OOO
 to Keep Interest Up
Special to The Democratl

State Capitol, Hartford, Conn, April 13. The w a t e r bury extraordinary grand jury's condemnation of paid lobbying at the State Capitol came to the fore again here yesterday after noon during hearings before the banks committee on bills reducing the rates of interest on small loans. Small loan com pany representatives were questioned sharply about money paid for lobbying purposes.
 The grand jury's allegation that Major John Buckley, former liquor commissioner, received $15,0oO for lobbying on behalf of small loan companies during the 1895 and 1887 sessions of the legislature was men, toned several times during yester- days hearing.
 One of the bills taken up at the hearing was introduced by Repre- sentative Hugo Guastaferri of Wa terbury, who spoke in favor of a re- duction on interest charges for small loans.
 Walter Wallace, appearing for the Equitable Industrial Loan Society, and Barclay Robinson, of the Con- necticut Association of Personal Fi- nance Companies, argued that a reduction in interest rates would drive the small loan firms out of business.
 Representative E. o. Smith, Mansfield Republican and house chairman of the banks committee, then inquired about the big fees paid" for lobbying and legal serv- ices. Robinson said that these payments appeared in financial statements submitted to the state banking department. Such pay ments, he admitted, were made to Major Buckley and to David E. Fitz- Gerald, of New Haven, former Deni- ocratic national committeeman.
 AS Representative Smith contin- ued to press his questions about lob bying, Robinson became nettled and at one point declared: I don't be- lieve this is quite fair"

 'The election of city councillors by P. R. would immediately remove the intimate relationship of office holder and constituent, Men would be elected entirely strange to par ticular district, and men and wo- men in need would be hesitant in approaching them.

 Tt is beyond controversy that P R. would entail far greater cost than the present system of elec- tion.
 "A neighborly, helpful City Coun- cilor is demanded by the exigencies of the times.
 "The chief argument in favor of P. R., the elimination of gang poli- tics, does not hold true in Bos- ton.
