GETTING SUPPLIES THROUGH

There still remains the difficulty of getting any supplies at all to Finland. The Russian blockade of Finland may be fairly effective, but even the mildest cooperation from Norway and Sweden would aid in putting American supplies in the hands of Finnish civilians.
 Now why all this sentimental att tachment? Two dozen years ago most Americans prob a ably knew vaguely that Films lived some place up toward the North Pole, along with Santa Claus and the Eskimos. Even the World War brought them only a few notches closer to our vision. Then came Paayo Nurmi and the debts. Nurmi ran circles around our American athletes for a couple of years. We learned about Finland from him.
 Then all the other nations de- faulted on the debts, but not Fin land. Two times a year she sent from her meagre resources a sum running to about S25O,000. Even when war was in her lap she made $234, ,693 available for the December 15 payment Of this. s74,000 was principle. the rest interest And the President will recommend to Con- gress that this sum, too, should be given back to Finland, for civilian purposes.
 The whole Finnish debt to the United States was about 5000 900. Her credit is good for another $10,- 100000 at least.

COUNCIL DRAWS up TERMS FOR
 LEASING DOCK
NorihIand Offered Wharf af $500 Per Month
 Up fo Voters

Terms on which the City of Ju- neau will consider leasing the City Dock to the Northland Transpor- tation Company were formulated by the Council this week, Mayor Harry I. Lucas reported.
 The Council offers the dock at a rental of $3,600 per year, on a five-year lease, with the City to maintain the dock from the deck ing down and provide fire insur- ance. Other repairs and expenses would be borne by the company. Filing and capping would be main tained by the Cty. The Northland line would have complete charge of the operation of the wharf.
 Latest offer of the Northland Company is to lease the dock for S2O0 per month, with the City to bear the expense of all mainten- ance, to provide fire insurance and to paint the dock at least every other year.
 Any plan for purchase or lease of the dock would have to be ap- proved by voters at City election.

By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Dec. B. TT Llttle Finland is at war and under the neutrality act we should hide our head under our wing and not see too much that might start our puls- es beating. But what are we do- ing?
 We are helping the Films fight the Russians as surely as we are alive. Our actions are masked only by the gossamer thread of prose- dure. As soon as they were attack ed by the Russians the Films rec ognized" the existence of war, al- though without such ritualistic for mality as that of the British and French in declaring war on Ger many for invading Poland.
 Already our ships are barred from going to Finland because of the com bat zones at the mouth of the North Sea in connection with the other part of the European war, which we formally recognize. But if the neu- trality act is not invoked, credit can go. And it is going.

war it becomes the exalted task, even outside of wedlock, for Ger man women and girls of our good blood to become, not frivolously, but imbued with the deepest moral concern, to be mothers of children begotten by soldiers moving to the front without knowing whether they will return or die for the Fatherland
 Hess, writing to an unwed mother whose fiance died in Poland, said, During the war, which so often means death for the best men, every new life is of extraordinary importance to the Nation, hence if young soldiers fall on behalf of the Fatherland and who for some reason could not marry and who leave children behind the State will take care of this Ma tional treasure"

Jesse Jones as chairman of the Federal loan agencies. has announc- ed that the Export-Import Bank will make $10,000,000 available to Finland. The President has apr proved it, of course, as no such phe- nomenal action would be taken un- less he were willing.
 It is specifically stated that the money will be used to help rid the United States of agricultural sur pluses and to make other civilian" supplies available to Finland But to Finland dollars worth of food for civilians is worth almost as much as a dollars worth of bullets Every dollar we send to feed Finnish civ- ilians will release a Finnish dollar to buy munitions, Even more im- portant, the act in itself is as stim- ulating as pot of coffee to chilled soldier in a snowdrift.
