Belief General That
Question of Peace or

at Final Point; An
nouncement Expected
At ANY Time

Stockholm, March ll.~-(AP)---
The Finnish delegation was report
I'd to have left Moscow this morn
ing with peace conditions to be sub
United to the Finnish government.
A Swedish telegraph agency dis
patch from Helsinki said 1.-The for
eign affairs committee Of the Fin
nlon parliament has repeatedly re-
cognZed the Russian peace condi-
lions but no official confirmation IS
available"
The report was withdrawn almost
immediately, apparently at the re-
quest Of the Finnish legation, which
said it could be denied.
Issuance and withdrawal Of the
dispatch created a stir of excite
ment despite the Stockholm even
ing newspapers compliance with the
request.
The belief was emphasized in in
formed quarters that the Wnoie
question of peace or continued war
now has reached point of final
decision and that an announcement
can be expected at any time.
The possibility that Germany and
Italy might guarantee q Russian
Finnish peace was reported mean
while in the Scandinavian press.
Finlands negotiators were gener-
ally assumed to have asked guarani
tees and it was expected that the
Finnish public, fearful of a Elm
nish Munich, would insist on as
surances against renewed Soviet at
tacks if the present hostilities are
ended.
These are the terms informed
sources believed Russia had SUBJ
mitted:

nish side but placing large part
of the Mannerheim line in Russian
territory.
2.-Retention by Russia of islands

Petsamo area remaining to Finland.

Raleigh. June 2O.-At the depart

. Legion next week, there will be more
really serious deliberations than us
ually mark the annual gathering of
{ Tar Heel veterans.
Not that the boys aren't going 10
have their fun. too, but with the wal
situation, as it is, there is the GER
tainty that mature thought and de
liberation will be given to national
I defense. the attitude Of America to-
ward the present conflict in Europe,
espionage activities in the Union and
in NORTH Carolina, universal mill
tary training and many other ques-
tons now foremost in the minds of
America.
As Il result of this seriousness, the
resolutions committee of the Legion
will shoulder responsibilities not
often devolving upon it,
To head this group Department
Commander June Rose has named
Claude S. Ramsey, former AsheviIle
newspaper man now the chief aide
de-camp of Colonel Edgar H. Balm,
chairman of the Brewers and North

Serving with him will be Robert

Naturally details Of the Legion's
stand on important matters cannot
be predicted accurately in advance
OF the convention; but there is rea-
son To believe that the High Point
convention, on at least the resolu-
Tons committee, will favor state
ment of policy substantially like this:
CD An expression Of sympathy for
the British Empire and its fighting
forces in its struggle against the
totalitarian nations, Germany and
Italy.
(2) Endorsement of President

Colored Teacher Paw

A Federal court decision the other
day holding that differentials in pay
for white and Negro school teach
rrS is discriminatory toward the
col"r"d teachers, and therefore is
unconstitutional, can create a serious
and possibly an embarrassing situa-
ton for some states, including North
Carolina. The courts ruling was
not particularly surprising, and was
something that was halfway antici-
pated once a test was made.
| State school authorities have csti-
mated that it would cost North Caro-
| lima approximately $l,300,000 to
cQualizc the pay Of the colorcd teach
rrS. Where il would get that amount
of money is 4 riddle not easy of i'm
mediate solution. The white teach
rrS have for years been demanding
Increased pay, and, despite the hard
| battles they have fought, have only
I partially succeeded. If equalization
is undertaken now. il may put the
! increase still further into the future
We arc not familiar with teacher
salaries in other states, and there is
= lot we do not know about the Sys-
lem even in our own state. But it
has appeared that school authoritiC.
and the legislature have been MAX
mo 4 serious and honest effort to d.
wnu, they could for culorcd teach

limitation on their financial re-
sources.

Of The Gitlcrcntial. The margin has
N times been wide. 50 much so that
il would be difficult to achieve the
ultimate gral at one time. y gradual
movement might be the best way to
tackle the problem now, since the
ruling of the court has added force
to the contention of the colorcd
workers.
In North Carolina, cooler heads
ON both sides of the issue have sat
down together to discuss the prob
lem. And we believe the Negro con-
fierce, nave been impressed with the
desire OF the State authorities To- play
