OVERTURE BY SWEDEN
 COMES OUT
Nation Will Permit Large Allied Force 10 Cross
 Soil for Finland

LONDON, March 9-A reliable informant said Sweden has advised the British Government tba5 if Allied intervention is taken in re- gard to Finland and fl an expcdi- tionary force is sent, the force must be a large one or else Sweden will make every effort for short war and forestall transport of Allied troops across it's frontiers.
 On the other hand, the same in formant said, a considerable force, for instance full army corps of around "80000 men," would be grate- fully welcomed by the Swedish na- tion, especially if accompanied by ships and planes
 Presumably this is the way Swe- den is taking as initiative in the present negotiations between Russia and Finland. Previously Sweden an- nounced the Nation would permit no foreign troops whatsoever to cross it's soil It is also stated that Great Britain has been informed that force of 10000 or 10000 men would be but drop in the bucket"

SOUTH POLAR GALE PREVENTS BYRD IN
 ESTABLISHING BASE
Bdrkentine Bear Runs Into High Wind-Is Aided
 by North Star

WASHINGTON, March 9.-A six ty mile gale that at times ap- breaches 100 miles an hour sweep ing from the South Pole ice packs has prevented the Byrd expedition from establishing an Eastern base in the Antarctic, Admiral Byrd re- ported today to the Navy Depart ment by short wave radio.
 The barkentine Bear is reported to have found a suitable anchorage several days ago, but had been forc- ed to leave it when the wind veloc- ity increased, whipping the polar waters into menacing waves. The wind was so strong that the barken- tine. barely moved against it even with her engines at full speed ahead.
 With the help of cable attached to the supply ship North Star, the Beay succeeded in reaching the lee side of an island when the storm subsided slightly. It was found this morning that the storm had piled up huge ice bergs at the point where the Bear had been, making the establishr ent of a base at the point completely impractical.
 Byrd said that the party's sea- plane today is being used to take aerial photographs of the Marguer- ite Bay coast line in the hope of finding, a winter base.

 lions Involved
(By Associated Press)

The drive for peace between Rus sia and Finland today threw Europe into a tangle of diplomacy mtri- cately snarled with issues of peace or continued war in the north.
 This tangle also involved ramifi- cations of the Allied German war.
 In a confused many sided pie ture many developments stood out.
 Sweden has asserted she acted as go-between, and go-between only, to establish contact between Russia and Finland on the unrevealed Russian terms for peace.
 The stage has now shifted from Moscow or possibly Riga for final negotiations.
 No Armistice
 Russia is reported to have de- manded that her terms be met with out a preliminary armistice, claim ing her war machine is now clicking against Finland.
 Great Britain and France gave in- creasing indications they are con- sidering greater aid to Finland should peace moves fail.
 Would Aid Finland
 The controlled French newspa- pers predict that an expeditionary force, if Finland asks for it, could land only on the Russian held Arc tic Coast of Finland or move across neutral Scandinavia soil

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Sen- ator Joseph F.

 Leading off the fifth day of debate on the bill, Guffey said he always believed in the two party system, but the pending leg islation will restrict political ac- tivity and make possible "biparti- san control by money interests.
 The bill he said, will eliminate the two-bits and $2 party contri- buttons and will not prevent influ- ential persons not connected with the Government from making large gifts
