Finland.
Along with this the govern
ment gave orders to the chief
of command of the Red Army
and Navy to be ready for any
surprise, and Immediately to
check all possible fresh sallies
on the part of the Finnish mill
tary clique.
Charges That Territory
Is Aim Termed Slander.
The historic foreign press asserts
that measures being taken by us
are aimed at seizure of Finnish
territory or it's annexation to the
U. S. S. r. This is malicious
SANDER.
The Soviet government has had
no such intentions. More than
that, if Finland herself pursued
a friendly policy towards the
Soviet Union, the Soviet gov
ernment, which always strove
for friendly relations with Fin
land. would be ready to meet
her half way in regard to terri
torial concessions on the part OF
the U. S. S. R.
Under this condition the Soviet
government would be ready to
consider favorably even sucn a
question as the question of re-
uniting the Karelian people in
habiting the main districts of the
present Soviet Karelia with the
kindred Finnish people in a sin
gle and independent Finnish
state.
For this, however, it is nee
essary that the government CT
Finland should maintain not a
hostile but a friendly attitude
towards the U. S. S. r.. which
would correspond to the vital
interests of both states.
Others assert that the meas
ures carried out by us are aimed
against Finland's independence
or at interference in her internal
and external affairs. This is an
equally malicious slander.
Irrespective of the regime ex-
listing in Finland, we consider
her an independent and sovereign
state in her external and internal
policies. We firmly hold that the
Finnish people should itself de-
eide its external and internal af-
fairs in the manner it deems
necessary itself.
Ready to Aid in Future
To Insure Independence.
In the proper time the peoples
Of the Soviet Union did what was
necessary for creation of an in
dependent Finland. The peoples
OF our country are ready also in
the future to render the Finnish
people assistance in insuring its
free and independent develop
ment.
The Soviet Union has equally
no intention to prejudice to any
extent the interests of other
states in Finland. The question
of relations between Finland and
the other states form a matter
OF exclusive concern of Finland
herself and the Soviet Union
does not consider itself entitled
to interfere in this matter.
The only purpose of our meas
ures is to ensure the security of
the Soviet Union and especially
Lenlngrad with its population of
3,5OO,O00. In the present inter-
national atmosphere heated by
war We cannot make a solution
OF this vital and urgent state
problem dependent on the i'll will
of the present Finnish rulers.
2 This problem will have to be
solved by the efforts of the So
Wet Union itself in friendly CO.
operation with the Finnish peo-
pie. We have no doubt that a
favorable solution of the prob
lem OF ensuring the security of
Leningrad will provide the foun-
dation of an indestructible friend
ship between the U. S. S. R. and

MOSCOW, Nop. 30.-The tert
OF Premier VyacheslaT Moloto6s
broadcast today announcing SEP
erance OF relations ,Dith Finland,
as published by the official ne1Ds
agency, Tass, tolloWs:
Men and women citizens of the
Soviet Union:
The hostile policy pursued by
the present government of Fin
land toward our country compels
us to take immediate measures
to insure the external security of
our state. You know that in the
course of the last two months the
Soviet government patiently con-
Quoted negotiations with the gov
eminent of Finland concerning
proposals which in the present
alarming international situation
it regalhed as the minimum es-
sential for insuring the security
of the country and especially for
the security of Leningrad.
In these negotiations the gov
ernment of Finland adopted an
attitude of irreconcilable hostility
toward our country.
Finland Acts to Please
Foreign Imperialists.
Instead of finding ground for
agreement in a friendly manner,
the present rulers of Finland, to
please foreign imperialists who
instigate hostility toward the So
Wet Union, took different
course
Despite all the concessions We
made, the negotiations were
ended without yielding any re-
suit. The consequences of this
are now known.
In recent days abominable
provocations were started by
Finnish militarists on the from
tier between the Soviet Union
and Finland, including even ar
tillery firing on our troops near
Leningrad, which caused grave
losses in Red Army units.
The attempts Of our govern
ment to forestall repetition OF
these provocations by means OF
practical proposals addressed to
the government of Finland. far
from finding any support, again
met with the hostile policy of the
ruling circles of Finland.
AS you know from yesterdays
note of the Soviet government,
they replied to our proposals by a
hostile refusal and brazen denial
of the facts, by derisive attitude
toward the victims we have lost,
by an undisguised striving to
keep Leningrad under immediate
threat of their troops also IN the
future.

Action Shows Hostility
Toward Soviet Union.

All this has definitely shown
that the present government of
Finland, which became entangled
in its anti-Soviet ties with impe-
rialiSts, does not wish to maintain
normal relations with the Soviet
Union. 1t continues in its hostile
attitude toward our country and
does not wish to pay regard to
provisions of the non-aggression
pact concluded between our coun-
tries. desiring to keep our glorious
Leningrad under military threat.
From such a government and
its thoughtless military clique, we
can now expect only fresh inso-
lent provocations.
The Soviet government was
therefore yesterday compelled to
declare that henceforth it con-
sidered itself free from the obli-
cations undertaken under the
non-aggression pact concluded
between the U. S. S. R. and
Finland, and violated in an ir-
responsible manner by the gov
ernment of Finland.
In view of fresh attacks by
Finnish military units on Soviet
troops at the Soviet-Finnish
frontier, the government has now
been compelled to adopt new de-
ciSionS.

BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY

Again we find a plant misnamed
because of association. This time
we have a lily called a grass. The
reason 1t is called bear grass is that
the bears are fond of the bulbs or,
to be more exact, the rhizomes.
This plant is really very beauti-
full, though few nature lovers may
have the opportunity to see it in its
native haunts, or to be on the spot
when the grass is in bloom.
In the high places of the Cascades
of Washington and Oregon, where
the snow remains until very late,
delaying the blossoming season of
many of the exquisite Alpine flow-
ers, you will not find the bear grass
in bloom until the middle of July
At that season, this lily is indeed
worth the climb to see. The stems
are several feet high, with snowy
blossoms crowning the tips of each
stem. The blossoms are like snowy.
inverted tunnels when seen from a
distance. Often you take them for
great fluffy snowballs, and wherever
you see them they are numerous.
The floWer-stalks are sturdy and
woody. They rise like sentinels
high above the generous cluster OF
narrow leaves.
The flowers are thrifty in that the
densely packed clusters do not all
open at the same time. The indi-
vidual star-shaped blossoms, almost
one-half inch in width, begin to ma
ture at the base of the cluster and
open successfully toward the tip of
the cluster. This method insures
the maturing of seeds, since there
will be days that are not so good for
insect guests if the weather is rainy,
and to open the portals of each
blossom at the same time would be
foolish thing for wise and cau-
tious flower to do.
These flower clusters are a daz-
zling white. bowling and curtsying
with every passing breeze. They

The leaves are tough. The Indian
women found they could weave
them into waterproof baskets, and,
because these women knew of many
uses to which they could put them,
the plant has also been named
squaW grass.
An entomologist would enjoy a
visit to this pine lily" as it Is also
called, because of its very slender

Construction Of Pier
In Yacht Basin No. +
Nearly Complete
Work on Timber Walks
Leading to Berths
Well Under Wuy

Construction of a concrete sur
faced pier, 100 by lat feet in size,
in Yacht Basin No. / in the WASH
ington Channel waterfront project
has virtually been completed, and
all pile driving in Basin No. has
been finished, it was announced
today.
Pile driving in the first basin has
been completed, except where held
up to permit other work to be COM
pleted first. This final phase of
the pile driving will be carried on
Pin coordination with other work,
1t was announced.
Construction of timber walks 8
feet in width leading to the yacht
berths now is we'll under way, and
this will be followed by the plac-
ing of catwalks dividing the indi-
vidual yacht berths and providing
access to them.
All sheet steel piling has been
driven along the shore lines Of both
basins, a total length of 845 feet,
and a small amount of earth fill
has been placed behind these bulk
heads. The major filling work,
however, will not begin until later,
it was announced. Pouring of con-
crete on the shore-line bulkheads is
in progress in Basin No. but has
not yet been started in No. 2.
Engineers in charge regard the
work in both basins as progress
ing satisfactorily in view of the
winter weather.
Pouring of concrete in the last
section of the big pier is about to
begin. Completion of this work will
clear the way for construction of
steel frame and brick sales and
service building about 100 by 80 feet
in size and 20 feet high on the pier.
A platform type of boat hoist or
elevator of 20-ton capacity also is
to be built at the pier.
The pile-driving crews now have
driven approximately 100000 linear
feet, or more than 20 miles, of
wooden piles ranging in length from
Is to 80 feet each. More than 2
miles of sheet steel piling, 81 inches
wide, has been driven.
Specifications and plans for COM
pletion of the two yacht basins,

ment" of work on the waterfront

project, have been virtually COM
pleted in preparation for advertis-
ing for bids, which may be opened
during February.
The first years work, now we'll
along, calls for completion of the
first halves of the two basins. This
work is being done under a sliding
scale contract ranging from $500, 0,427
and $334,4 awarded to the Dia-
mond Construction Co. A total of
$349, 900 was appropriated for the
f1rst years work, and the same
amount has been made available
for the second annual "installment,"
guaranteeing completion of the two
basins.
