MANNERHEIM MAY
DIRECT FINNISH GOVT.

Helsinki.-The important news
paper Uusi Suomi suggested Sun
day that Field Marshal Baron
Carl Mannerheim assume "direc-
ton of the national fate in gen.
eral," as well as continuing as
chief of the nations defense for
ceS.
This was the first public pro-
posal that the field marshal take
an active part in governing the
republic, but there has been
emergency measure during the
much private talk of this for the
reconstruction period, now that
the Finnish Russian war is ended.
Nothing in our misfortune
could be more desired than that
the commanding position of the
field marshal would continue, not
only in respect to national de-
tense forces but also in direction
of the national fate in general"
the paper said.
1--WE do not need dictator but
we do need commander-in-chief
who, by the power of his personal
qualities, is capable of thrusting
aside all political differences and
preserving the nations readiness
to sacrifice and it's fighting spirit,
which in our heavy struggle has
come forth and which alone can
guarantee realization and success
of the gigantic program which
lies before U.S."
