WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-If You
want to know whether the New
Deal really wants to fight for low
prices in the rearmament drive,
watch the fate of a little resolution
Just introduced by Senator Burton
K. Wheeler.
Wheeler has moved for a senate
investigation of patent or price-fix-
ing agreements between U, S. and
German industrialists which might
hamper defense production.
Whether he gets the investigation
is strictly up to the administration
His resolutions fate depends on the
Senate Audit and Control Com
mittee which is headed by one Of
the chief administration Strategists,
Senator James Byrnes Of South
Carolina. Obviously, if New Deal
thumbs are turned down the reso-
luton will be smothered in COM
mittee.

 Dietrich added to yesterdays tes- timony concerning McKesson and Robbins, Ltd, a Canadian branch which he said was organized solely for the purpose of issuing stock. The government contends the Canadian branch and various other organiza- tions affiliated with Coster's con1- pai1y were dummies through which more than $l00,OO0,00O in fictitious purchases and $80,000,000 in bogus sales were recorded.
 Accounts Certified
 The witness said that McGloon passed on and certified the accounts of the Canadian concern.
 There was always window dress ing" Dietrich said. My brother told me in 1928 that we must keep up the reports of McKesson earning power; that the bankers were how ling for earnings and that profits had to be manufactured"
 He said Coster also told him that short term notes were bothering the company and that they would have to manufacture profits or "the bond holders would take control of the company and we'd all be fred"

 No Quick Decision
 Most of the other questions bear ing on this governments foreign policy cannot be decided immediate ly nor solely by this government. One of these was whether cessa- tion of Finnish Soviet hostilities would further the possibility of an early truce in the European war.
 Undersecttary of State Sumner Welles, now in London may have some clue for President Roosevelt on this matter when he returns about the end of the month.
 There was no comment from either the Finnish legation or Soviet embassy here. Soviet Ambassador Constantin Oumansky was out Of town.
 Finnish Minister Hjalmar Pro- cope had mo comment" Only last week he denounced the Russian de- marlds as unreasonable" Then he described the demand for the Kare- Han Isthmus as comparable to a de- mand by some foreign country upon the United States for San Fran cisco's Golden Gate, part of New England and the islands oil the Massachusetts coast.
 Leads Denunciation
 In Congress, Sennate Democratic Leader Alben W. Barkley led the denunciation of the peace terms as a "holdup," while Sen. George w. Norris, Ind, Neb., said:
 "1t is another victory for tyranny end dictatorship and another defeat for the cause of democratic govern meY1t."
 Chairman Sol Bloom, D., N. r., of the house foreign affairs committee gloomily forecast that "the day of reckoning for the world is yet to come. hope that this same way of settling dieffrences between nations will bring reason and logic to the other belligerents."

 The newspapers drew different conclusions as to the advantages and disadvantages to the Allies of this peace which came only 8 few hours after Premier Edouard Dala- dder of France had announced that since Feb. 26, the French has had 5000 troops n1assed at two ports awaiting transport to Finland u1l- der the protection of the British navy.

FORGOTTEN MAN

Moscow, March 13.-(UP)-The forgotten man of the Finnish Rus sian war has retired from the scene as strongely as he appeared.
 Otto KuuSinen had his brief mo- ment in history during the few weeks after Dec. l, when Moscow announced that he was head of the peoples government of Finland" No other government was to be rec ognized by Russia.
 Kuusinen's antecedents were srr- rounded in mystery despite his sud- den prominence. He was known in Finland as an "exiled Communist and in Moscow as true son oi Finland" He had fled Finland, be- came an active Soviet Communist and was an official in the Comin- tern.
 His government was established at the border town of Terijoki, ther in Russian hands. He conducted negotiations" with the Russian gov. ernment and gave the Soviets what. ever they asked.
 He signed treaties turning over tt Russia the entire Karelian ISthmus islands in the Gulf of Finland.
 He was not heard of again.

 Before Accident
 Judge Cornell finds that immedi- ately before the occurrance of the accident, involved in the complaint, Joseph Tokarcykz, was operating an oil truck owned by the defendant, Geary. The judge in his memor- andum sets forth that there was ice in the center of the roadway at the point of the accident, which is on @ curve and that the driver took a short turn and lost control of his truck due to smooth rear tires on the truck. The tires were so warn, the jurist finds, that the fabric on them showed through the rubber.
 Judge Cornell also points out the medical testimony presented in the case raises 8 question as to perma- nency of the plaintiffs injuries.
 The damages listed and awarded in the finding are for 60 per cent of the lost of function of the left leg below the knee. The sum Of $l,088 is allowed for medical ex- penses, J$346.54 is allowed for hospi- tai expenses, $l.O00 for incapacity prior to the trial, $225 for future medical expense, 5000 for future earning capacity, $l 200 for pain and suffering and $500 for future pain and suffering in bad weather.

No Choice Left E inland But To Accept Peace

We asked for help from Sweden. Its neutrality policy did not permit 1t, which rendered the position still more difflcult."
 Both the cabinet and parliament had met during the morning. The cabinet approved Tanners speech and parliament considered the ratifi- cation of the treaty.
 It was expected that the ratifica- tion would come today.
 Explanation Terms of Treaty
 Explaining the terms of the treaty Tanner said that the new frontier roughly followed the line fixed by the peace of Uusikaupunki during the reign of Peter the Great, when that czar defeated Sweden and took Viipuri.
 The "fishermen's peninsula" in the Petsamo region had been ceded, he said. He used the word "ceded" also of Hango, which under the treaty is to be leased to Russia for, 30 years.
 He went on to say that territory in mid Finland had been ceded, that the isthmus and Viipuri had been ceded, that 1t had been agreed to stop fighting today and that Finnish troops were to be withdrawn behind the new frontier.
 But, he emphasized, there was nothing to do:
 Finland Stood Alone
 Finland stood alone against a huge opponent. We could not win this war alone. The inevitable end would have been the destruction oi our country.
 We found the best course to be to take the terms offered rather than continue the war. The peace treaty has been signed and hostilities have ceased. The peace treaty does mol include any political changes. The Soviet will not mix in Finland's in-

northern flank exposed. The news paper Hamburger Frendenblatt in an editorial written yesterday in expectation of the peace announce ment, summarized the German view:
 Western Powers Hard Hit
 "After six and half months the western powers are left merely with the sad recognition that to turn the war into victory they must achieve the impossible; that is to say, de- cisively attack the westwall or make effective the blockade which is still nowhere water-tight."
 Although Germany never official ly interviewed, 1t was known that the war in Finland caused much anxiety here. It was feared that Russia's ability to fulfill her eco- homie undertakings to Germany might be seriously impaired and that If war spread in Scandinavia, Germany might lose her vital iron ore imports from Sweden. It was believed that German agents were far more active behind the scenes in the interests of Russo Finnish peace, than was officially ascknowl- edged.
 The peace announcement was called, therefore, "a diplomatic and military setback of the first magni- tude for the Allies"
 Italy, Germany Sign Rome, March 13.-(UP)-Ital, and Germany signed an agreement today under which German coa imported to Italy in the future vii be transported exclusively by rail.
