The people of Ely and Minnesota
have great sympathy for Finland in its
present predicament. Finland, no more
than some other countries, has any
desire to fall into the benevolent
clutches of the Nazi set-up, but as
with many others, it is in no position
to do otherwise. Finland may be COM
PEELED to join Germany in fighting
Russia. 1t is in no position to dc
what it should be able to do-goVern
itself for its own best interests.

Installing New Linoleum

A rough, uneven base often causes
linoleum to wear unevenly. Before
installing new inoleum it is a wise
precaution to inspect the floor. If it
is uneven, it should be smoothed
down as much as possible and then
covered with quarterboard, which
can be had in large size boards.

leaders who are always ambitious

The heat on the Department of Ag-
riculture over its announcement OF
prices at which it would buy dairy
and pork products on April must have
been even more terrific that I had
thought, because have just received
an answer to the letter of protest and
inquiry which I addressed to Secre-
tary Claude Wickard in April.
You will recall that the decision was
to buy pork at SO per hundredweight,
butter at 81 cents a pound and eggs
at % cents dozen at Chicago, and
that farm and dairy organizations i'm
mediately protested vigorously because
these prices were below parity levels
and they feared very much they would
tend to become maximum prices.
Paul H. Appleby, undersecretary of
agriculture, writes me as follows:
"For some years the Department has
set goal of parity prices for farm
products. The price-supporting pro-
gram for the four farm commodities
named is not a departure from that
policy but is guarantee to farmers
against lower prices, since the prices
announced. to use Mr.. Leon Hender-
sons words, are guaranteed minimumS,
and no maximum prices. were agreed
upon"
I believe it is important to have the
Department and the Administration on
record that its goal is still parity prices
and that the prices announced April
are minimums and not maximums.
1t now appears that the government
will soon embark on a much more eX-
tensive price control program than it
| has had hitherto. So far the pro-
gram has relied on voluntary compli-
ance, but it was announced recently
that legislation to put teeth in price
control measures will be sought.
The Administration in such an event
will move to placing ceiling on prices,
beginning with strategic raw materials
and gradually covering the entire
price field. When that happens, it
seems to me that the ceiling should go
on industrial prices first, and farm
prices should then be permitted grad
ually to increase to parity levels and
there should be no attempt to peg
them until parity is reached.
In fact, under such a program, it
appears that for the first time the
government has an opportunity to
raise farm prices to parity without all
kinds of legislation and administra-
tive red tape and in manner which
will not be costly either to govern
ment or the public. And once we get
farm prices back to parity, perhaps we

Nazi Frontal Attacks
In SmoIensk Sector
Eased, London Says
Renewal of Fighting in
Leninerod Area And in
Ukroine Reported
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. 5.-Fierce Russian
resistance has forced the German
Army to abandon temporarily frontal
attacks in the vital Smolensk sector
of the eastern front, authoritative
quarters said today.
Slackening of activity on the road
to Moscow, however. it was said, has
been accompanied by renewal OF
fighting in the Leningrad sector and
on the plains of the Ukraine. where
the Germans are trying to envelop
Kiev.
Informed sources said the Nazis
had launched the campaign against
Russia with total of 20 armored
divisions, but not all of these were
concentrated on the eastern front.
The best estimate. these sources
said. is that IS reorganiZed panzer
| divisions were thrown against the
Russians. and that seven or eight
still are fighting.
Manchukuo Reinforcements.
The same quarters said the Jap
anese had reinforced substantially
their Manchukuo garrison estimated
at 250000 men.
The prevailing opinion Of military
observers in London is that the main
German drive may develop in the di-
rection of Odessa.
The difficulties Of operations in the
Karelian Isthmus, northeast of Len
| ingrad. and against the large Rus
| sian garrison around Leningrad do
not help the chances of quick sue
ceSSes "embellished with the names
of captured towns" which one mill
tary observer declared the Germans
needed badly to bolster civilian
morale.
! The German advance which IS
seeking to sweep around to the
north and south of Kiev is making
very limited gains because of the
swampy country, informed quarters
said.
junction of Forces.
The German objective, these
sources said, appears to be juno
ton of forces moving through Koro-
stem and Bel Oserkov beyond Kiev
The united forces would then be
expected to move in southeasterly
direction on Cherkasi and Dne-
propetrovsk.
The latter would be an extremely
important objective. 1t is the site
of a great dam built in 1927 by
American engineers as well as the
site of steel and iron industries
employing 10000 workers. and the
vast Zaporozhny aluminium works.
There are manganese. inter, coal
and iron deposits nearby.
The difficulties of the terrain
facing the Germans in the Karelian
Isthmus also work to the disadvan-
tage of the Russians. military COM
mentators said, and reports that
the Red Army was preparing a
drive into Finland were rejected as
highly problematical."
