FINNISH RECONSTRUCTION

The task of national reconstruction that faced the Finnish people on the conclusion of peace witt Russia in many respects more difficult and dis heartening than the defense against the invader One eighth of the population had lost everything it owned The nation had been deprived of one tenth of it's arable land and industrial plant The total cost of the placed at $600000000, an extremely large sum for country by no means rich and with population of less than million: a comparable burden for the United States would reach 40 to 50 billion dollars
 Such reports have out of the country indicate that the nation is tacking the less inspr ing problems of peace with the same courage with which it resisted the enemy The program an- by the reconstructed peacetime Government includes the resettlement of the exiles from Karea on farms to be created out of private estates and Government and church lands. The develop ment of the countrys agricultural mineral and in- dustral resources is to be intensified with with out the help of foreign loans. The scarcity of goods of all sorts has raised difficult problems, es peciay in keeping prices from rising unduly, but with these problems the Government has been en- to cope by cooperative efforts where pos sble and by Government action where necessary.
 Finally, the costs of the struggle with Russia and the ensuing peace to be liquidated quickly as possible by means of capital levy. The under lying principle is the joint sharing by the whole nation of the losses of it's members to be accom- plished by on-recurring contribution from those whose property has been largely preserved" This levy is not expected to exceed 10 percent of the total value of private property. By thus wiping out a large part of the Governments reconstruction debt it is hoped to spare later generations from back breaking taxation

cHcroscobe The stars incline
 but do not compel"
THURSDAY, MAY 23

Adverse planetary aspects are ac- tive today. It is not an suspicious date for keen judgment. Deception is easily successful during this sway. Strife is intensified under this con- figuration. The stars encourage a sense of freedom and optimism.
 Heart and Home: Routine mat ters should engage attention today which is fortunate for initiative in practical plans for the future The day is lucky for women writers or secretaries, both of whom will be in great demand through the summer. Girls should combine training for household tasks with thorough pre- paration for wage-earning voca- tionS.
 Business Affairs: American brains now will prove far-seeing in the world of trade and commerce. Man ufacturing will continue to be speeded toward record-breaking production. General good feeling will prevail among merchants and builders. The stars presage return to conservative methods that will assure stability in many lines of business. Government interference with established industry will be lesSened.
 National Issues: Radical leaders in Government relief projects will be superseded in the autumn Ex- poSureS of waste in the use of money intended to aid the unem- ployed will cause widespread re- form as taxpayers increase their protests. Scientific administration of organizations for social service will be demanded in the future Public office is to be again re- garded as a public trust.
 International Affairs. Bulgaria is under threatening portents. Death or retirement of an important of ficial is presaged. New pacts will be signed. According to aspects of Uranus the scope of Russia in the European war will extend and again warning is given that Soviet agents will continue to function secretly in Federal agencies or or ganizations of the United States.
 Persons whose birthdate 1t is have the augury of year of good fortune. There will be opportuni- ties to travel. Women will be lucky in many ways, especially in romanceS.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be happy in nature and exceedingly talented. They may be impetuous and temperamental.

America and the War
Cleveland Plain Dealer


 With the Nazi blitzkrieg started against the west through the Low Countries raising several knoty problems for the United States, most Americans will concur in President Roosevelts denunciation of Ger man aggression.
 Said the President, with attack following another, forced to come ito the reluctant conclusion that continuance of these processes of arms presents definite challenge to the continual tion of the type of civilization to which all of us in the three Americas have been accustomed"
 The United States chief problem will arise the other side of the world The Netherlands Indies rich in oil tin rubber and many other resources have long been magnet to the expanding Japanese empire From them the United States obtains than 90 percent of both its ndustrially vital tin and rubber.
 On April 15 Japanese Foreign Minister Arta issued warning to the Occidental powers not to attempt to place a protectorate these islands should Hitler invade the Netherlands. The impli- cation was that Japan would do Two days later Secretary Hull made it clear to Tokyo that such step would be considered unfriendly act.
 There is feeling that the Japanese may act and that Tokyo had understanding with Berlin before Arita broadcast his views
 Thus the blitzkrieg may home to America by way of the Far East. It is warning to this country, first that neutrality in the traditional sense is impossible under modern conditions and second that country is isolated geographically that it neglect it's defense forces with safety

BADLY DAMAGED
Norway Freighter Ready
to Leave for England
With War Supplies

New York, Aug. 9.-(UP)-Agen-
cies of the federal government, the
city and the "exiled" Norwegian
government opened Investigations
today into a mysterious fire and
two explosions aboard a Norwegian
freighter leaving New York har-
Dor for England with war cargo.
Still smouldering after tons of
water had been poured into her
blazing holds during the night, the
3,671-ton freighter Lista was
aground in the shallow water of the
outer harbor between Fort Wads-
worth and Sandy Hook. She was
guarded closely by coast guard YES
sells and New York fire boats.
Her mixed crew of Norwegians,
Filipinos and South American
sailors had been taken off and
questioned separately by agents OF
the Federal Bureau of Investigation
and members of the sabotage squad
of the New York police department.
It was said in shipping circles
that the authorities suspected
sabotage because the ship repeatedly
carried munitions. However, In
man Payne, head of the Cosmopon-
tan Line, American representative
of the ships owners, refused COM
ment on the sabotage reports and
insisted the freighter carried a
general cargo" of machine and mo-

Selby, Miss, and was not immed-
lately available for comment. In
Memphis, Roy Mitchell, assistant
operations manager Of the air lines
said it was possible that Miss Crit
fifth had been found partly in the
ladies lounge and partly in the
baggage compartment" because the
two doors adjoined.
There was no explanation Of how
the baggage compartment door
could be unlocked after she had
swallowed the key to keep it from
being unlocked or what caused her
to believe that 1t would be better
for her to swallow the key than run
the slightest risk of 1t falling into
unauthorized hands.
What 1t Contained
Mitchell said the compartment
contained only passengers baggage
and "local" mail destined for Mem
phis-unregistered mail whose con-
tents would be known only to the
mailers. The other mail was in q
compartment forward, inaccessible
to anyone while the plane was In
flight. In New York, G. r. Smith
president of the lines, said that SC
far as he knew there was nothing
particularly valuable in the mail OF
the passengers baggage.

STEW ARDESS OF
PLANE MYSTERY.
Rosemary Griffith Says
She Was SIugged By
Man Aboard Plane

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. o-CUP)-
What happened to the beautiful
young stewardess Of the luxurious
sleeper plane high over the Tennes-
see mountains became more Of a
mystery today as postal authorities
ordered the planes mail impounded
for inspection.
The order-plus a new disclosure
gave the mystery a sinister cast.
The man the girl said slugged her
from behind in search Of the key
to the baggage compartment, act
ually got into the compartment
though she swallowed the key to
prevent him from getting it. The
compartment contained part Of
the ships mail cargo.
Postal Inspector Thomas Cotton
rode with the planes passengers on
to Los Angeles and soon after he
arrived there, he ordered all mail
that had been aboard the plane
held up pending the completion Of
his investigation. He Intercepted
all the passengers, took their names
and addresses, and permitted them
to go their way. Some passengers,
who left the plane here, had not
been questioned, however.
Officials of American Airlines
Inc, operators of the plane, had as
serted that Stewardess Rosemary
Griffith, "a, had been found un-
conscious in the women's lounge.
They permitted no outsiders to talk
to her in local hospital, but quoted
her as saying that a man had en-
tered, demanded the key to the bag
gage compartment, then slugged her
before she could see him. On the
floor, before she lost consciousness,
she swallowed the key to be sure
that he wouldn't get it.
Contradicts Company
Last night United Press reporters
learned from postal inspector and
from John Oman, End, of Nashville,
that Miss Griffith was found not
in the women's lounge but in the
baggage compartment. Oman said
his son, Lieut.. John Oman, 3rd, had
been a passenger on the plane, had
seen the girl in the baggage COM
partment. Oman, 3rd, had gone to
