Procope Confident
Finland Will Receive
Needed Supplies
Expresses Appreciation
For British Promise
To Ease Blockade

Expressing gratitude for British as
surances that relief supplies for
Findland would be passed through
the British blockade, Hjalmar j.
Procope, Finnish Minister, pointed
out last night that this docs not
OF itself assure adequate food and
clothing for my people this winter" 4"
He did not mention specifically his
new appeal to the Red Cross for
foodstuffs, medical supplies and
clothing, but said he was confident
the needed supplies will be forth
coming from some sources
TT does not seem to me that the
immutable law of justice will permit
my people to starve and freeze this
winter" the Minister said in a state
ment issued through the Finnish
Legation.
Referring to a British statement
clarifying the blockade policy as it
affects Finland, made public COIN
cident with Mr.. Procope's appeal to
the Red Cross for additional assist
ance yesterday, he said:
Il am very grateful that the
British government in its state
ment to the press this morning has
officially and publicly recognized
Finland's independent status and
that assurances are given that Great
Britain will issue the necessary
navicerts for the passage of supplies
to Finland through the British
blockade.
There is no question of Fin
lands firm intention to continue
to maintain its neutrality. Finland
has never at any time enmeshed
itself in international political
intrigue. Finland last autumn made
agreements with Russia and Ger
many. The fact that unarmed
soldiers were allowed to pass through
does not imply that there are foreign
garrisons in Finland. Finland is not
occupied or under foreign rule.
I'VE firmly adhere to the belief
that a nation and people are
advanced through hard work and
frugality. Finland is determined to
maintain political independence for
its people. Our freedom and our
independence are our most price
less possessions.
TN expressing my gratitude for
the Qualification of the British posi-
ton, I wish to emphasize that it
does not of itself insure adequate
food and clothing for my people this
winter. We must first find the
money with which to buy the huge
quantities of grain, fats, dried fruits
and other foodstuffs and clothing
before we can ask for navicerts.
am, however, hopeful and confident
that these supplies will be forth
coming from some sources. 1t does
not seem to me that the immutable
law Of justice will permit my people
to starve and freeze this winter"

one was standing by his stalled au-
tomobile.
Need for stringent action to fight
the mounting toll of traffic deaths
is emphasized further by the fact
that two more persons died of acci-
dent injuries during the early hours
today.
OF the 80 persons killed in traffic
in Washington last year, So were
pedestrians. And of this number
25, or almost half, were crossing a
street in the middle of the block.
Each of the signs in this years
joint safety program is placed on
the sidewalk nearest the exact point
where the fatal accident occurred,
where it will remain for a month
in the hope that as many people as
possible will see it and exercise
greater caution when crossing street
or when at the wheel of a moving
vehicle.
Brown Hopeful of Results.
Hailing the step as an object
lesson in traffic safety, Maj. Ernest
w. Brown. superintendent Of police,
expressed the hope that the District
would have many deathless weeks
''or even months" as result of the
signs.
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer recalled that many cities have
used similar methods TO impress
upon their citizens "the danger of
reckless walking and driving. - -
Both Inspector Arthur E. Miller,
head of the Accident Prevention
Unit of the Police Department, and
Assistant Traffic Director M. o.
Eldridge agreed that while placing
of the signs may seem drastic, 1t
takes drastic methods to attack our
traffic fatality problem"

D. T.. Commissioners
Ask More Annapolis
And West Point Posts
Appointments Declared
To Discriminate in
Favor of Stutes

The District Commissioners yes
terday recommended to Congress an
increase in the allotment of mid
shipmen from this city to the Naval
Academy and in the number Of Ca
diets to West Point.
Letters were sent to the Speaker
of the House and chairman of the
Senate District Committee asking
for an increase in midshipmen from
5 to Is and in the cadets from 5 to g.
In identical letters signed by Act
ing President of the Board John
Russell Young, the Commissioners
declared the District was discrimi-
mated against.
There are eight States which
have population less than that of
the District of Columbia" declared
the Commissioners. LAS each of
these States has two Senators and
two Representatives in Congress"
the letter continued, each is allowed
from Is to 20 midshipmen at An
napolis and the same number Of
cadets at the Military Academy.
The District has population of
more than $4,000 and, "it is not
equitably represented" the Commits
sioners declared, at either of the
service schools when compared with
States with a smaller population or
with all of the States.
"On population basis" the letter
continued, "the District is entitled to
an increase in the number of ap-
pointmentS and even aSSum-
ing that 10000 people in the Dis
trict of Columbia hold voting resi-
dences in the States, the District
would still have over 100000 people
and would be entitled to the increase
in the number of appointments re-
quested.
The Commissioners pointed out
that the bills had been submitted to
the director of the budget, who ad-
vised there was no objection on the
part of the bureau.

Wilmington Observes

tcOnLInusd from FIrst Pagsl

charge, are bringing to its opera
tion the benefit Of many years of
experience in directing the enter
prise, and arranging its 80 that the
the greatest possible benefit to the
purchasing public may be secured.
AS usual, there is keen compe-
tition among Wilmington mer-
chants to determine which shall be
able to offer the highest grade of
seasonal merchandise of every line
at the lowest possible prices con-
sIstent with sound business prac-
tice, and each is straining every
effort to insure this dollar Day"
going into business history as the
best ever" in the long series
covering twenty-eight years.
Participating merchants and the
operation of Dollar Day" are gov
erned by strict regulations impos-
ed by the committee in charges one
of which provides that Dollar
Day" shall be held only on the day
designated, regardless of weather
conditions, and that it may neither
be advanced nor postponed. An
other rigid rule provides that DOL
lar Day" merchandise shall not be
available at other than regular
prices either before or after the
date set, and that there shall be no
advance reservations of dollar
Day merchandise.
The entire range of merchandise
will be included in the Dollar
Day" offerings, and drastic reduc-
tions will be made in all of them
for this one day. The committee
stresses that Dollar Day" specials
will not be confined to articles of
wear or adornment, but will in
clude all lines for personal or home
use. From pots and pans, from lin
ems to lingerie, from floor cover
ings to furniture, from brooches to
beds, ribbons to refrigerators,
shoes to hats will be found awaiting
the conservative shopper at un-
usually attractive prices in a hun
dred or more Wilmington stores.
Participating merchants may be
known by the use of display win
dow cards and price cards contain
ing the copyrighted emblem of the
Chamber of Commerce. For the
convenience of shoppers the Blu
reau of Police has again authorized
the display of a police courtesy
cards" on windshields of visiting
motorists during Dollar Day"
The committee is insistent that
no merchandise shall be offered
which is not strictly high-grade and
thoroughly seasonal. 1t stresses
the fact that the outstanding rea-
son why Wilmington Dollar Days"
are held and why they have been
so uniformly successful and popu-
lar with shoppers from all over
The Peninsula and surrounding ter
ritory is that the primal reason for
holding them is to demonstrate to
shoppers that Wilmington stores
slways are in a position continu-
,usly to meet the demands of the
most conservative shoppers in any
ind all lines of standard merchan-
lise, and to build up goodwill with
discriminating purchasers.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES

Christian Science Church Service
Report for Sunday, August 10, 1941.
Subject: SPIRIT.
Golden Text: Ephesians So
The fruit of the Spirit is in all
goodness and righteousness and
truth.
A Bible Citation from the Les
son-Sermon: II Cor. 3:4-6&17.-
And such trust have we through
Christ to Godward: S. Not that we
are sufficient of ourselves to think
anything as of ourselves; but our
sufficiency is of God; 6. Who
also hath made us able ministers of
the new testament; not of the let
ter, but of the spirit: for the letter
killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
n. Now the Lord is that Spirit:
and where the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is liberty.
Correlative from the Textbook,
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy: The admission to ones self
that man is Gods own likeness
sets man free to master the infinite
idea. This conviction shuts the
door on death. and opens it wide
towards immortality. The under
standing and recognition of Spirit
must finally come, and we may as
we'll improve our time in solving
the mysteries of being through an
apprehension Of divine Principle.

emergency, and should be met in
the quickest possible way. That
way is by the swift construction
of steam plants. not by the con-
struction of hydro plants which
will take four or five years to put
in operation, and whose efficiency
is dependent upon such imponder-
ables as weather, rainfall, ice, etc.
He emphasized the fact that the
private utility industry has under
way a two-billion dollar expansion
program, an dthat the road to quick
results lies in encouraging these
efforts.
Third, the st. Lawrence would
make still more critical the skilled
labor shortage, by diverting thous-
ands of workmen to the. long, slow
process of building canals and
dams.
"In one breath we are told that
we must sacrifice and save and
speed UP the production of vital
war supplies, and cut non-defense
spending to the bone," DR.. Haney
concluded. "In the next breath we
are told to go in for a huge water
power and seaway project that will
not be available for years and will
cost the government around a bill
lion dollars. It is up to the people
of this country to appraise this
scheme in the light of the nations
emergency, and let their Senators
and congressman hear from them"
In short, defeat Of the st. Law
renee project would be real aid,
to national defense-even as con-
struction OF the project would re-
tard vital defense activities.
