the Pacific, as aids to the defense
of the Panama Canal.

By GUNNAR KNUTSSON,

NEAR NAMSOS, Norway, April
29.-The terrible plight of war
refugees who have sought safety
in the snow-covered mountains OF
central Norway is becoming more
evident daily as cold. hunger and
disease take their toll.
Adequate food and clothing is
lacking for the refugees from the
Namsos, Namdalen and Stelnkjer
areas. Among children and older
persons illness is occurring with
practically no medical aid or medi-
cine available north of Trondheim
Tragic scenes are enacted nightly
in the region when refugees slip
down from the mountains into
valley communities to poke through
the ashes of their homes seeking
lost possessions.
Mountain Huts Crowded.
Mountain huts, especially in the
NamSos district, are so crowded
with refugees that they must take
turns sleeping indoors.
This is the district where bombing
planes have caused the greatest
civilian damage in proportion to the
population. During the first Ger
man bombing of Namsos, the reg
ions largest sawmill was set fire and
the entire populace turned out 10
help eXtinguish it.
They were partly successful until
wave after wave of bombers re-
turned, sending the Norwegians
running in panic. Some sought
refuge in cellars but most fed he'll
ter-Skelter into the mountains with
out pausing to take along proper
clothing to protect them against
cold of the high attitudes.
Peasants Share Possessions.
The towns life went to pieces. It
was reported no civilians were killed
by the bombs, but none of the debris
has been searched yet and inhab-
itants said it would be a marvel if no
dead are found.
Mountain peasants now are shar-
ing their meager possessions with
the refugees. Highly valued COWS.
pigs and even horses are being
slaughtered for food.
The peasants not only must care
for refugees but they must help
feed allied troops in the vicinity.
A canning factory outside Namsos
escaped damage but its large stocks
have been plundered. Not one can

Firms Regard War With Soviet
As Part of Historic Routine
Have Had to Whip Russians on Average
Of Once Every 20 Years, They Soy

Russian demands got to point
where they really imperiled Fin
lands independence, and this Is
why they have q kind of quiet con-
tempt for the Swedes, who shiver
with fear at the prospect Of hav-
ing the Russians right across the
gulf from them. and yet are afraid
to help the Firms because they
shiver with fear at the Germans,
who politely threaten and bully
them every night over the radio.
Unconscious Bravery.
The Firms are quite unconscious
Of the fact that they are an unus-
ually brave people. According to
their way of thinking, the past 800
years have proved beyond all argu-
ment that one Finnish soldier Is
equal to just exactly so Russians,
and if you hold onto this idea very
calmly and firmly you can see why
the Films believe that the present
fight is pretty equal one, which
can easily 60 one way or the other
because the Russian army outnum-
bers the Finnish army only by
so to l.
Certainly there is no overcon-
fidence. have never seen q people
work together with such fast, serious,
deeply instructive teamwork as see
here. And they don't need q con-
trolled press and radio to kick them
into war by. constantly screaming
at them that they are g brave peo-
pie, for this is an ordinary matter
Of simple prosaic fact, which 1t has
never occurred to any Finn to doubt.

HELSINKI, Finland (By Air
maiD Il am trying to see this little
warning capital. At first it looks
very like any American town, and
the nation itself might be the State
of Minnesota standing up to Stain.
Then the European overtones be-
gin to come out Of the shadows.
For Finland is old, like all of Europe.
There is, for instance, the Fin
nish girl in snow boots ski pants
and a white snow helmet, who
might be the Wisconsin or Min
nesota University campus queen,
only she helps pull people out Of
caved-in buildings during the air
raids, and she sees nothing at all
fantastic or even remarkable about
less than four million Films taking
on more than 180 million Russians.
It's just part of the routine busi-
ness of being Finn. It goes along
with the high cheekbones, the big
blue eyes, the blond coloring and
living up here in this crisp air with
the Arctic Circle through your mid
riff. At least once every 20 years
you have to whip the Russians
anyway that's been the average for
the past 800 years-and beyond that
the Firms are willing to forgive and
forget.
Regard Russians as "Slobs."
They regard the Russians as great
blundering slobs; uncouth cattle
born to be herded around by czars
or commissars, who every so often
stampede into Finland and trample
down the dahlias and step on the
tulips and have to be rounded up
and chased out again. The fact
that the Russians are now Com
munists does not endear them to
the Firms, but the important thing
to remember is that nothing much
was changed by this, because no
matter how thin the commissars
slice it, it is still the same old Rus
sian baloney to the Firms.
This is why, during the fat years
OF peace, the Firms never let down
as did the softer nations, but kept
their little army right up to scratch;
and this is why they had their pres
ent Mannerheim Line region heavily
fortified long before the French be-
gan pouring concrete along the
Rhine.
