TIME United States,
through its co-opera-
ton with Britain, Is
now making war against Fin
land, Hungary and Rumania.
The reason given by the
British governmen t for
launching military and naval
action against Finland, Ru-
mania and Hungary is that
these countries are aiding
Nazi Germany against Russia.
This explanation of Brit
aims extraordinary course
was given by government
spokesman publicly in tn e
House Of Commons.
1t constitutes an amazing
instance of putting the mill
tary cart before the political
horse.
1t is an astounding attempt
to justify an attack upon the
independence and self-de-
termination of nations and
upon the protection and per-
petuation of democracy for
which America fought the
first World War.
1t is a labori0us and unc0n-
vincing effort to justify the
alignment of American Re-
publicanism and British Inn
perialism with the aggression
and oppression of Bolshevist
tyranny.

The resolution on housing for
workmen contained a direct back
slap at the ALL in its reference to
pre-fabricated homes.
II urged that the huge building
program be launched Immediately
and specifically asked that the
government take pre-fabrication
into consideration.
The pre-fabrication method con-
sists of cutting all parts for a
house at the lumber mills and
other factories which supply the
structural parts. These are thus
QUICKLY assembled at the building

orally regarded as less costly than

The resolution also asked Go

sending the army men food, books,

a S A matter of plain and
~ indisputable fact, Fin
land Is not aiding Nazi
Germany against Russia, but
Nazi Germany is aiding the
republic of Finland to repel
the aggression Of Russian
tyranny and to recover Fin
nish territory which Russia
stole from Finland by force
Of arms and weight of num-
bers q year ago.
The aggressions of BOlshe-
visit Russia against de m o.
cratic Finland occurred
BEFORE Nazi Germany de-
clared war on Communist
Russia, and the war Of Fin
land to defend her territory
and her independence was not
in aid of Nazi G rmany
against Communist Russia
for the obvious reason that
there WAS no war of Ger
many against Russia a year
ago when the might of Russia
overwhelmed the little re-
public of Finland, robbed her
of her territories, and en-
deavorcd to destroy her
liberties.
