Find Few Adherents

The case of Finland vs. Soviet Russia looks pretty simple. Any honest jury would be back with verdict in five min utes - finding of guilty against Russia. You could throw the book at Joe Stalin, and there wouldn't be much in the way of crime that he has missed. Murder, arson, espionage, robbery armed, fraud Of all kinds, sabotage - they're all written against Russias record. No matter how you try, it's pretty hard to find any miti- gating circumstances in the Russian lr1- vaSion.
 Yet, Communist-inf influenced attempts to justify the attempted ravishment of a thriving, democratic nation are still ob- vious in the United States. Portrayal of Finland as bloody, feudalistic state has been used by Stalin's American friends to sway sympathy away from Finland. We can't stop that sort of thing here, and we don't want to. In the United States, the press is free. People may write and say what they like. By the weight of their own absurdity, arguments such as these collapse.
 Business charts and statistics aren't always the best evidence. But if they sometimes fail to tell the whole story, they usually point, at least, to the truth. Anybody who has been doubting whether Finland has really been going places dur ing the 20 years of its independence might take glance at few figures, based on the statistical report of the League of Nations. In 1929, Finland and the United Etates are compared equally at the index of 100. Depression hit both countries at about the same time. In industrial activ-

Once again Jan PadereWski, world famed pianist, has entered the political field. In the twilight of life when this aged man should be quietly thinking about the past and living with pleasant memories, he is once more representing his country, what there is of it now, and he has been chosen as president of the Polish parliament-in-exileW which operates in Paris. PaderewSki says he will never touch the piano until Poland has emerged again from it's present chaotic state to freedom. Unfortunately comparatively little has been known of the true condi- tion of affairs within what were the Polish borders, but since the Vatican in Rome has spoken with authority of conditions from actual bona fide reports coming, some of them, from Catholic priests who have escaped to other countries, we can realize more fully some of the unthink- able conditions. The New York Times says of this editorially: Tt seems clear by now that Germany is trying to eX- terminate whole people. One can find clue to her intentions, not only in the bitter agony of the Poles, but in the fever ish German efforts to rebuild the railways and roads that might bring supplies from Russia. . The horrors of which the Vatican speaks will mean that Polish hatred of Germany will take long years to cool. At least it is fortunate that for the rest of Europe that the Polish parlia- ment-in-exile has chosen such a broad visioned man as MT. PadereWski as it's president"

ity. the United States slipped down to an index of a little better than 50, in 1882, and then began the tortuous road back to economic stability. Not until last year did we get close to the 100 mark again.
 Finland hit its depression low in 1881 with an index of 80. From then the climb was steep In 1883, Finland passed the 100 mark. In 1889 this tiny nation of the north had gone beyond 160 and was still climbing. In factory employment, the story is almost the same. Finland fell to low of 75, in 1881; the United States to little above 60, in 1882. Fin land crossed the 100 mark in 1885 and has continued to climb; the United States touched the 100 mark in 1887 and promptly slipped back again.
 From what would Joe Stalin like to save Finland? From her prosperity? From hef contented independence? Soviet apologistS, who take their tips from the Kremlin, are going to find it hard sled ding if they intend to convince 13O,000,- 900 intelligent Americans that Stalin's campaign is one of benevolence - an effort to liberate the poor Films, op- pressed by their own prosperity and de- cent living conditions. All you have to do is to look at few statistics to decide whether the Films need Joe Stalin to show them how to get along.

New Houses

Enthusiastic over a 36 per cent ln- crease in the number of building unltS erected in 1889 as compared with 1858, representatives of the building industry are confidently predicting that home building in 1940 will exceed that ot l929 America needs new homes - millions .oI them. It is encouraging to note that the nation is getting them, even Ii some nous ing experts have said they can't be oullt fast enough to take care of the neeoS Nearly 475,000 homes (eXcludlng those on farms) were built in 1939 at an aggre- gate cost of $1 00,000,0O0. In 1858, the total was about 350000 homes at cost of $1, ,300,000,00.
 It is forecast that new building unltS in 194O will total 600, ,000, or nearly 1OO,OOO more than in 1929. While the predlc- tion is encouraging, 1t may also be oe- ceptive, unless one understands that the year 1929 was by no means peak year in building. A bit of folklore is sprlnglng up around the year 1929. Looking back ward, we are likely to regard this year as the golden moment in American history As matter of fact, it was peak year m very few respects. It was rather the year in which the expiring bubble of finance suffered it's final and explosive pin prlcK
 As far as the building industry IS con- cerned, the best year in the past two oe- cades was 1925, when 937,OOO new uroan dwelling units were put up After tnat' the industry began to slump. up to l9zo, the decline was more or less gradual; but in 1929 the number of units dropped from about 75O OOO in 1928 to a little more than 500 900. This was a greater decline than that recorded in 1930 Building of non- rural family dwellings in 1929 was at its lowest since 1921 In 1883, it nearly ex- pired altogether with less than 5O,OOO new units in the entire country. Even if 6OO,OOO new homes are built in l94O, there will still not be enough construction going on to solve the housing problem.
 The builders concede that, without the benign influence of the Federal Housing Administration, much of the present con- struction wouldn't be underway. The FILA has made it possible for financial institu- tions to extend their credit and has made the ome-ownership field accessible to thousands of persons who would otherWlse have been eliminated
 But even the FILA hasn't solved the problem entirely. Assistant Attorney General Thurman Arnold attacked 1t from another approach. Arnold suspected the presence of termites within the industry, both among unions and contractors. He has begun ruthless assault upon the corrupt element that is threatening the industry and has already returned indictments in a score of cities.
 Recently the National Association of Housing Officials and the American Public Welfare Association formed
 joint committee to tackle the matter Of housing for the lowest of income groups. Perhaps, as more and more bodies ot people, both official and private, become interested in the housing dilemma, there will be a movement toward final solution. Until this question is solved, there cannot be much serenity for the nation.

Men Reject This Job

Some night in April, when you're sit ting before your fireplace and just about to complain about your socks not being alarmed or something, conjure up in your mind the vision of Mrs. Eva L. Canfleld Mrs. Garfield will be taking the census in one of the most inaccessible regions in the country. She's little woman, weighs only 125 pounds, and she is 67 years old. The superintendent of the north Idaho census territory has promised Mrs. Can it five years ago. He was glad to get her. No man wanted the chore.
 The area consists of 1000 square miles of the toughest land in the country. In 1885, Mrs Garfield counted noses by travelling on horseback and on skis. It took six weeks to reach 36 families. So, when you sit down some night with a good book, think about Mrs. Garfield. You'll probably forget you were going to complain about your socks.

LANDLORD ENvIES CITY'S EASE IN COLLECTING
 DELINQUENT TAXES

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 The City of Waterbury has found a way to compel delinquent tax-pay- CTS to meet their obligations. Con-
 gratulations to the city. But how about a tax-burdened property own- CT attempting to collect delinquent rents2 What chance has he or she compelling tenant to meet his just obligations and help 8 landlord to pay his taxes to the city, the water rent, the insurance agent and oc- casionally the painter, carpenter or plumber.
 Perhaps you will say the law will take care of you. Have you ever
 tried to collect through lawyer? Try it some day and learn how diff ficult it is. Try and collect six months rent from someone, who knows that he should pay a just bill and you will be surprised with the number of hard-luck stories he will invent. He is working on the WPA. He Is supporting his family. etc. But he never tells the whole truth and
 admits that other members of his family are working, that he, Is pro- viding room and board for paying relatives. He is content to invent a1ibis and at times openly challenges a landlord to ''try and collect.
 The City of Waterbury is deter mmed that anyone on its payroll is going to pay his taxes promptly.
 And l agree that the city is jasti- fled. The City Is going to insist upon automobile owners paying taxes on their ears, which is also justifiable. but what win or what can the City do for honest tax payers. vho want

BIRTHDAY GIFT

OAAe e4 AADSA4 NAE
 The President is going to re- verse the usual order this year and send Congress a gift on his birth day, January 30.
 It will consist of a special mes sage urging a $10,000,000 appro- priation for the construction of 25 hospitals, in various parts of the country to be designated by the Public Health Service and the American Medical society. He went out of his way to choose his birth day to submit this plan, and he will describe 1t as the first step in an ultimate nationwide health- insurance program.
 The President. also will ern- phasize in his message that while the Federal Government should take the initiative in building the hospitals, the localities must main- tain. them.
 Surgeon General Thomas Par ran tried to persuade him to recommend certain amount of federal aid for upkeep. Parran pro- posed one dollar per day pc patient. But Roosevelt rejected this.
 Nope, that's out" he told the Interdepartmental Health Pro- gram Committee headed by Miss Josephine Roche. "It's all right for the government to build them but the localities must operate them. We want to tie the locali- ties directly up to these h0spi- tals 50 that they will have a personal interest in them.
 NOTE Significantly at the con- clusion of the conference the President directed Miss Roche to continue work on formulating 8 national health insurance pro- gram, even though there is no chance of passing anything of this nature at the present ses- sion of Congress.

OLD MYTH

Sara King Carleton in the New York Times Midas, finger tipped with frost, Turns to stone the brook we crossed, And the springing well is flint And the flat path holds no print Of those deef hoofS that we found Summer long in messy ground. Icy circles glitter where
 Trickles from the swamp stream were, Bright as silver, waters stand Tn the marshy pasture land, And the haystackS, mounded white, Show who passed them in the night. But the gale blows far and high Clouds like kites across the sky, And the tall trees, bare and thinned, Toss their branches in the wind, Out beyond the icy clutchc Of that winter Midas-touch.
