The Finnish Russo peace of late

OF discussion in Washington since
the pact was announced. The harsh

OF England and France to give ma

The Dayton forum. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1913-1949, 1940-03-22

The end of hostlities between
Russia and Finland does not mean
that American aid is no longer need
ed. In fact, the Finnish people will
now need Americas help as much
as during the days Of the war. Her
material resources, including much
needed food supplies, are gone as q
result Of the recent conflict. Many
of her cities and villages have been
destroyed, and thousans Of her peo-
pie are homeless. Her factories,
utilities and public buildings have
been greatly damaged. The Man.
nerheim Line no longer protects her
and new military equipment and de-
fenses are necessary for future safe
ty. So Ex-President Hoover con-
tinues his work in obtaining civilian
aid for Finland The twenty million
dollar loan from the United States
Export Import Bank, as authorized
by Congress, will now be used for
rehabilitation purposes. The Ameri-
can people should not lose interest
in Finland's plight simply because
the guns have ceased firing.
Close students Of intefnntiona.
affairs claim that England and
France bungled badly when they
failed to come to the aid of Finland
quickly after the Russion invasion
began. Finland and the Scandina-
Wan countries have now been fore
ed into closer relationship with
Germany than eve. before. Other
neutral nations are beginning to
study the advisability Of having as
friendly relations as possible with
Germany, for it was Germany, after
all, that won the most as a result
of the Finnish-Russo peace pact. She
no longer has the threat Of war dis.

mistake made BY the. Allies, it is
claimed, was when permission was
given for Germany to begin re-
arming. Next came the failure to
prevent Germany from occupying
the Rhineland. IN quick succession
came Germany's invasion OF Austria
and Czechoal alavakia, TO be followed
by the tragic capituiation at Manish.
and the destruction OF both Czecho-
slovakia and Poland. England II be-
ing accused of vacillation, of failure
to foresee and forestall the building
of Germany's war machine, and Of
having been too slow in strengthen
ing the British military establish
ment to meet the German threat
England may have found it impos-
sible, at the time, to live up to her
treaties and obligations with and to
the smaller democratic powers.
However, all Of that does not save
England from serious criticism and
even more serious loss OF prestige
and influence.
As result Of all these recent
happenings the impression is fast
growing that if peace does not come
in the present European war quickly,
and the full fury Of hard fought,
far flung and lengthy struggle
/ breaks, England and France are in
far more danger of ultimate defeat
than they were in the World War.
In the struggle of 1914 to 1918
England and France had Belgium,
the Netherlands, Russia, ITALY, and
finally the United States, on their
side. Today they can depend upon
help from none Of these. The Ides
Of March bring only trouble for

His neat blue suit, with eight base
balls in the pockets, has come to
be highly respected uniform which
seems to be geared in closely with
our way of life" to use a some
what tattered phrase.
This is Mr.. Klem's 36th year as a
major league baseball umpire. To
a considerable extent the career
has made the man, perhaps even
more than if he were a justice of
the Supreme Court. He calls them
louder and points with greater i'm
petus than other umpires, throw
ing his stocky body behind every
gesture and word. with his lower
lip trust out like a trumpeter's
All this has fashioned and en-
bodied him in an austere pattern
of authority which nobody would
dare challenge.
He grew up in Rochester, N. Y,
where his father ran a cooperage,
both parents being of German de-
scent. He played local and semi
pro baseball, ran his own amateur
team and later got a job as time
keeper for a bridge company at
Berwick Pa. He got box Of cigars
for umpiring a ball game, and was
praised by the townsmen for do
ing a good job. He decided to make
it a business. He went to Phila-
delphia. saw his friend Silk OLaugh-
lin, then the ranking major league
umpire, and was steered into his
life work at Waterbury, Conn.
After experience with Connecticut
leagues and the New York State
League. he was taken over by the Ma
tional League in 1908.
His salary has ranged from $4,000
at the start to its present $4,000.
He is married and has a nice little
bungalow down in Miami. Most
umpireS take winter jobs. but he
has always considered umpiring a
year-round occupation. All the
players like him, but he holds aloof
from all intimate relationships.
Talking to him once. we felt sure
that if he said Albany was in North
Carolina We wouldn't think of dis
putting him.

heavily on accomplishments in de-

proaches. Unless the administra-
ton can present categorical proof
that the preparedness problem is
under way, hammer and tongs. and
achieving progressively concrete, Wis
ible results, the G. o. P. undoubtedly
will have effective arguments with
which to influence voters, especially
the pivotal Independents. Mr.. Will
kie, because of his industrial back
ground, evokes the loudest response
at his meetings with the claim that
he is equipped to do better de-

no evidence that the G. o. P. STAN

ceptions. The hoodlum hostility in
to which he has run here and there
is not taken seriously in either camp.
Willkie stock in general is unques-
tionably lower than Immediately
after his nomination. Talk of close
election, then common, has almost
ceased. Whether this is due to the
Republican nominees approval of
major New Deal policies, foreign
and domestic, or to his failure to

better job than Mr.. Roosevelt, is
