Hitler, messing about in the Bal
kans? I should hardly think he
would care to see one Of the pair
cross the Danube.
But the Italian Duce has so far
not made up his mind that it would
suit him just yet to quarrel with the
German dictator. It might suit him
once more to drive in the same car
riage as Hitler to a conference as he
did at Munich. On the other hand
it might not. He will wait and see
He will take no unnecessary risks,
but he will miss no good opportuni-
ties. He is fundamentally neither
pro-German nor anti-Russian. He
will steer his course entirely as
navigator who means to bring the
laden barges Of Italy into the har-
Dor which seems at the time to
promise the most profitable market
for his goods. But the profits must
be large to tempt him to face great
dangers.
Stain Never Forgets.
What will be the effect of the
Finnish outrage on the relations be-
tween Germany and Russia? If the
so Italian airplanes few over Ger
many to help the Films, they must
have done so with German consent.
Hardly what you would expect from
an ally.
Stain is not the kind Of man who
forgets. He has the reputation OF
never forgetting or forgiving a real
ofense. This unfriendly act will
not assist the course of negotiations
for interchange of essential COM
modities.
Finland is not a country easily
overrun. Neither is it a country
which is easily defended. There are
few towns and populated areas.
These, unfortunately for the Firms,
are not difficult of access. Once
they fall into the hands of con-
queror, there is no rallying point for
effective resistance.
A guerilla warfare conducted in
the depth of Antarctic wastes amidst
the snow; the lakes and the forces
OF the Finnish hinterland may not
be an alluring prospect for the Red
Army; but it is a cruel prospect
for the brave defenders of Finnish
independence.
The only question is whether the

fact, all the Bolshevik advances in
this war have been designed to
strengthen the strategic position of
Russia against Germany.
The armed camps in Estonia and

ference to the military or naval posi-
ton Of the western democracies.
They cannot enter the Baltic. 1t is

poses. Assured access to and through
it is vital to Russia.
Hence all these maneuvers by the
Soviet government to secure forti-

west to make Bolshevism safe

SO Germany must dislike the

policy.
Italy Seizes Opportunity.
What will be the repercussions of
the attack on Finland? 1t has af-

ing practical proof of her hostility to
Russian Bolshevism The Italian
press has been working this up for
years. 1t was the excuse for Musso-
ini's Intervention in Spain.
No one believed that his flaming
attacks on Bolshevism during his
Spanish Intervention were inspired
altogether by theological motives. He
had been one of the first statesmen
in Europe to establish trading and
diplomatic relations with Red Rus
sia. But democratic Spain did not
fit in with his ambition of converting
the Mediterranean into an Italian
lake.
He is equally bent on keeping Rus
sia out Of the Balkans. The con-
quest of Albania converted Italy into
a Balkan power and established her
in q position where she can DOM
mate the war-breeding peninsula.

6. 0. P. Opposes Idea
OF 5idetracking
Controversial Issues
Martin Says Congress
Must Solve Many
Domestic Problems
P, the Associated Press.

President Roosevelt's reported de-
sire to sidetrack controversial issues
as far as possible in the coming ses-
sion of Congress got cool reception
yesterday from Republican leaders.
While such a program has been
advocated by members of Congress
anxious to get an early start on
their election-year. political fence
mending, House Minority Leader
Martin turned thumbs down on it..
There are very many important
domestic problems to be solved" he
said, land I sincerely hope Congress
will not run away from them even
if it is an election year.
THE first duty of Congress is to
promote the welfare of the country,
and everything else should be SUBJ
ordinated to that-even politics"
Well-informed sources had said
Mr.. Roosevelt was advising his leg
islative leaders that he wants Con-
gress to dispose of its routine affairs
and go home not later than next
May.
Benefits to Country Seen.
The Chief Executive was said to
believe that while the question of
renewing the reciprocal trade agree
ment law, which expires next June,
would have to be acted on, other
administration programs should be
left up to the people in the 1910
election and that such policy
would be beneficial not only to his
own party but to the country as a
whole.
Specifically, one informant said,
Mr.. Roosevelt felt that minor per-
fections in the Neutrality Act were
the only things needing congress
sional attention in the foreign pol
icy field; that New Deal programs
such as the Social Security Act and
the Wage Hour Act should be left
untouched unless the need for spe-
cific changes Is shown.
The Chief Executive also was rep
resented as regarding the question
of how to raise new revenue as one
for the people and Congress to de-
eide. He recently suggested that the
country should think about whether
impending increases in national de-
fense expenditures should be met by
special taxes or by further govern
mental borrowing.
Major Issues Listed.
While Representative Martin did
not discuss specific problems with
which he thought Congress ought
to deal Immediately, other Republi-
can legislators declared economic
questions raised by continued unem-
ployment and the approach of the
public debt to the legal limit Of $45,-
000000,000 were of paramount i'm
portance. Changes in the wage
hour law and the Wagner Labor Re-
lations Act also were high on their
list.
Some Republicans made it plain
they regarded such questions as
virtually ready-made campaign
issues which should be debated on
the national sounding board Of
Congress session.

LONDON.-The rape of Finland
has aroused a deeper note of genuine
indignation than the invasion of
Poland. The sympathy with Poland
was not universal.
Democratic sympathy was alieni-
ated by the high-handed and tricky
way the Polish military junta had
snatched the Lithuanian city of Viii
ma from their weaker neighbor; and
then came the more recent and
more shameful episode of their con-
duct when Czecho-Slovakia was be-
ing butchered by the Germans. Not
only did the Poles give her no help;
they insisted upon obtaining for
their own larder one Of the juiciest
bits from the carcass. 80
All this chilled enthusiasm for the
Smigly-Rydz government. There is
no such aspersion resting on the
honor Of Finnish nationality. They
fought galantly for their own free.
dom and independence. but never
coveted their neighbors' lands or
liberties. That is why the sympathy
for Finland in her tribulation is by
no means confined to Britain and
France. It extends to Italy.
The fire curtain is down and we
can neither see nor hear what is
happening inside Germany. But the
very silences of the German broad
casts are significant. The Germans
cannot like the situation.
Received Aid From Germans.
During the Great War, Finland
was pro-German because she was
anti-Russian. and German victory
constituted her sole hope of liberia
ton. The Germans sent troops to
aid the Firms, and it was with Ger
man aid that they inflicted q series
of signal defeats on the Red Army.
In their hearts the Germans know
that Stalin's invasion of Finland is
eventually an anti German move.
In the Great War the irruption
OF German forces into Finland
brought them within striking dis
tance Of the Russian capital. The
islands OF Finland completely block
AIDED Russia in that direction. From
the eastern frontier they were en-
abled to cut the lane to Russia's
