Commissioner H. E. Wright: "Al-
mighty God, from Whom all
thoughts of truth and of peace
proceed, send us as they messeng-
ers to hearts without a home. to
crowds without guide. Send US
to children whom none have bless
ed, to the famished whom none
have fed, to the sick whom none
have visited, to the bereaved whom
none have comforted. Kindle Thy
flame on the affairs of our hearts,
that others may be warmed there
by; cause Thy light to shine in our
souls, that others may see the
way; keep our sympathies and our
insight ready, our will keen; our
hands quick to help our brothers
in their need. Shed the bright
rays Of Thy light, o Father, upon
the family of our departed friend
and companion so that every mem
Der may feel strong by confidence
Of Thy guidance. Let Thy shelter
ing arm protect us so that we live
useful lives and when evening
comes and our work on earth is
done, we may pass triumphantly
into Thy fellowship; through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen" Bless
ed Assurance, Jesus Is Mine" En-
maus Trumpeteers; Memoriam,
Chairman Calvin ]. Radman; Men
in the Rough" Rollin B. Clark:
"Men in the rough-on trails all
new-broken,
Those are the men we remember
with tears;
Few are the words such comrades
have spoken;
Deeds are their tributes that last
through the years.
Men in the rOuth-sons of the
prairie and mountain,
Children of Nature, warmhearted,
clear-eyed;
Friendship with them is a never
sealed fountain:
strangers are they at the affairs of
pride.
Men i'm the rough-curt of speech
to their fellows.
Ready in everything, save to de-
ceive:
Theirs are the friendships that
time only mellows
And death cannot sever the bonds
that they weave.

Wheat Subsidy
Will Continue

WASHINGTON The agricul-
ture department announced today
that the northwest wheat export
subsidy will be expanded to include
shipments from the Pacific coast
to Europe.
The general subsidy program to
Europe was suspended Jan. l. Sub
sides were continued on shipments
from west coast ports to the Phil
ippine islands, Hong Kong and
China.
Officials said the expansion TO
include shipments from the west
coast to Europe was made to as
sist In meeting a special north
western problem OF moving an sc-
emulation of 10000, 900 bushels.
The program will continue to be

After 81 months Of bitter re-
sistance. with perhaps $4,000 70
80 900 dead. the Finnish leaders
felt they were forced 10 accept
terms which compromised Fin
lands territorial integrity and
against which the Firms had
fought.
As balance. Finland
retains her political independence
and escapes military snhjugation
and imposition Of communlstic
regime. But acceptance Of eession
Of the Karelian isthmus and Sow
let foothold on the mainland ~
Hangoe leaves Finland's strategic
position greatly weakened.
Feared Future
Finnish acceptance OF what the
Finnish people regard As harsh
terms was not forced by any de-
cisive military defeat. but largely
by growing despair al the tardi-
ness of effective foreign assistance
and belief that with the best win
in the world from n practical stand
point. II would be impossible for
the Allies 10 transport and main
tain an expeditionary force 10 be
effective In the long run.
The military power OF the Fin
nish army still is largely intact.
but Finnish leaders foresaw the
inevitahility that gradually 1t would
be worn down as the Finnish army
was decimated. The result would
have been eventual Russian oecn-
patton of Finland and installation
of eommunistic regime.
Trasport Problem
Finnish leaders foresaw that
even II Norway and Sweden agreed,
and the French and British fully
supplemented their promises. II
would be highly doubtful whether
they could transport sufficiently
large expeditionary force $500
miles within a matter Of months
and keep them supplied over n
single-traok railway which changes
gauge at Haparanda, on the Fin
nish- Swedish border. thus forcing
the trans-shipment of every ounce
of material.

Inc phrase originated Win Ter
man experts who returned from
Moscow with smiles on their faces
because of the optimistic estimates
they had been given as to Russia's
ability to supply the Reich war
machine with grain. iron ore, man.
eanese and, ultimately. with oil.
Now the experts are wondering
whether the Russian souf' will
permit those supplies to be export
ed as promptly as Germany may
need them. Observers hear COM
plants that time just doesn't
mean the same thing to the Rus
sian soul that it does to US. We
are wondering whether the Rus
SLAMS are not so much like other
fasteners that they will be unable
to keep up the momentum"
Delay Is Dreaded
Estimates vary on how soon
Russian deliveries in large quanti-
ties can begin to flow, but some
German experts have stated 1t
would take two years before Ger
man-Russian trade could reach vol
ume enough to sustain German
economy materially.
Until then, it has been stated,
Germany will be forced to live on
her reserves and on imports which
AS in the case of such vital war
materials as Rumanian oil and
Yugoslavian copper = are insuffi-
cient or, as in the case of Turkish
chromium, have ceased altogether.
II the German-Russian pact does
not live up to German expectations,
1t will not be the fault of the Ger
mans. They realize its Importance,
and are trying everything possible
to remove the kinks.
Public Is Prepared
It's Importance was perhaps best
expressed by Adolf Hitler himself
In his statement that Germany
must export or die" which means
the exports must send needed goods
flowing in the other direction.
The German in the street has
been told these things and under
stands them. He is ready to suffer
. bng haul, or to fight for knock
out when the order is given.
The general public is convinced

Thousands Called
March additionally IL Hitler's
lucky month";" and that thought
unquestionably Is bulking large in
the average man's-and perhaps
Hitler's speculation on the chances
of a sudden military or political
triumph.
While propaganda has not neces-
sarily given the public a false
sense of security. 1t seems to have
convinced them of the Reich's mill
tary superiority.
Tens of thousands of women
have been drafted into the num-
tions industry. They have been
called from shops, kitchens. schools,
offices. hotels. factories and even
night club bars to help produce
shells. powder and airplane parts.
Hitler Confident
OF the menfolk, more than -

Hitler Is described by those close
to him as calmly sure of victory.
content with the progress of the
war so far and anything but nerv-
Gus about the prospects.
For the last five or six weeks
there has been talk in some quar-
tiers of victorious peace before
autumn and of a great victory pa
rade along Uniter Den Linden in
midsummer.
An unforeseen enemy cropped up
in the form of what is said to be
the hardest winter in 1875 years.
1t played havoc with the railway
system, already heavily oyerbur-
dened.
Now Point at France
The winter was a sore trial for
the average citizen, a winter OF
scarce and often frozen vegetables
and chilly or entirely unheated
offices and homes.
Any thought the average Ger
man had earlier that France was
a tepid ally of England now has
been dispelled. England is the CHIEF
enemy upon whom scorn and vitup.
Grafton are heaped every hour Of
the day, but the official press now
cries:
Germany again has become the
hereditary enemy of France. We
know that this decadent and cor
rupt France and her INSCRIPTIONS

so thoroughly that for all time they
will lose inclination. as well as abil.
