A sud d den Scandinavian
drive to end the war in Fin
land threatened grave COM
pl!cations today in Europe's struggle
for military supremacy.
Dispatches from the northern
neutral capitals-especially Stock
holm-indicated that a Whirlwind
campaign was in progress to achieve
an armistice OF a settlement at
time when the battered and weak
ened Finnish armies were fighting
desperately to hold off the Rus
sian forces hammering a circle of
bayonets around Viipuri
1t was understood Sweden had
submitted proposed peace plan
to both Finland and Russia. de-
signed to open discussion between
the two countries. The basis for
a settlement was believed to be
the granting OF most of the orig
inal Russian demands, including an
neXatlon of the Karelian isthmus
to the Soviet Union and granting
OF naval bases both on the south
coast of Finland and on the Arc
tic coast.
But behind these proposals were
definite fears of the Scandinavian
countries that the war would spread
to their territory.

Is For Albania

Albania IS the size of Vermont but twice as hilly and twice as populous.
 Most Albanians are farmers and herdsmen. Most are Mos lems because Turkey ruled them for centuries.
 They are one of Europe's old est races. They live primitive liV es follow old customs including the blood fued.
 Albania became independent in 1920. Its king was mountain chieftain Fog who married part American girl.
 Fog cooperated with the Ital- ians, took thsir money, let them start to develop the country.
 Last year Italy tired of this game, moved in on Albania, sent Fog packing.

! Is For Yugoslavia.

It was in Serbia that the World war started. Before 1t end ed Serbia took an awful beating even though she made a magni- fcent fight. Peace transformed her into mod m Yugoslavia with l4,000,000 people and lands as eX tensiVe as Oregon's. But Yugo- slavia wants no part in this war
 Her people are largely Slavic and so she has ties with Russia Also she once had ties with Ru- mania, Czecho Slovakia and France. Now she is prstty well surrounded by lands under Ger many and Italian control.
 Yugosiavia occupies some of the highest hills in the Balkans. Back in her hills lie rich mines and forests. Her hardy peasants are dour fighters. But they would rather b left alone.
The Nome nugget., 1940-12-13
\ Is For Turkey

Turkey used to be the bad man of Europe. She ruled all the Bal kans and threatened proud Wien na. Then she became the sick man of Europe. Province after province revolted.
 By World war time she had become a part of the Kaiser's Der lin-to-Bagdad plans for Eastern expansion and she threw in her lot with Germany. Her stout pea santry fought bravely as usual, but Turkey lost.
 Out of that war came Ataturk, who made modern Turkey. He was the first of the modern die tatrS. He modsrnized the coun- try, made its army and its works respected. He transferred the cap ital from ancient Instanbul on the DardanelleS to inland An kara. Kennel is dead now but the friendship he established with Britain, the army he developed and the capital he protected from the storms that rage around the Dardanelles are decisive factors in ths present situation.
The Nome nugget., 1940-12-13
IT Is For Hungary

The typical Hungarian is a farmer. He tills fields and raises strei as a peasant on a large es- tate in the flat Hungarian plain. He leaves business to those in the cities who like it. He takes pride that his forefatherS fought the terrible Turk to a standstill.
 Under Austria, the Hungarlans prov d so turbulent that they were set up as a separate king dom tied to Austria only through allegiance to the Hapsburgs. This tie was snapped in the World War. But the peace that made Hungary independent clipp d off her borders leaving her without natural defenses. Hungary be came a nation without a king and with a single passion-to be- come great and strong once more. To have a chance at this she has had to go along with strong Germany.
 Recently Hungary got back ter ritory from Rumania as well as from Czechoslovakia making her about the size of Oklahoma. She wants more.
The Nome nugget., 1940-12-13
D Is For Bulgaria

Bulgaria is at the crossroads just above the Dardanelles - the water lane from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, That might be a place of power-if one were strong.
 A thousand years ago Bulgaria was strong. It even terrorized mighty Constantinople. Then il became a Turkish province. For centuries it's people were very poor. They are still poor, still mostly peasants. Only 50 years aio they revolted and set up the modern nation. Russia helped them and the Bulgars have kindred feeling for Russians.
 Despite this feeling Bulgaris sided with Germany in the World war and lost territory Now she has regained some of il from Rumania. That makes her larger than Kentucky, gives hs1 twice as many people.
 Today Bulgaria is still at the crossroads. But she is not strong and she wonders if the cross roads will become a battle ground.
The Nome nugget., 1940-12-13
N Is For Rumania

The Rumanians speak a lang uage akin to Latin. Their land is rich in oil and in surplus grain.
 Rumania got a lot out of the World war, She became the larg est Balkan nation-as big as Ar izona She had more people than New York and Ohio together and great wealth in oil and wheat.
 But she relied too heavily on French and British support. When that collapsed Russia took a piece of her land then Hun gary and Bulgaria.
 Now Germany has moved troops nto Rumania because Ger many doesn't want someone else
