A little more than two years ago Finland
was the worlds hero nation. It's funda-
mental character one may be confident,
has not changed and in the end it will
be lined up with its fellow democracies.
Through the week the RAF, aided by
American air forces based in Britain,
continued raids of attrition over Ger

The heaviest attack was on the Baltic
port of Flensburg Thursday night. The
planes crossed the North
Flensburd Sea in a raging storm but

tumn moonlight as they
neared their objective.
Germans made few efforts to return
these raids. Their effects on the civilian

Peace Coming to South America
Republics Gradually Finding Common Ground for
Settlement of Old Disputes
BY the Req. Ed,cin Ryan, d. D.
Professor OF South History. Catholic University

Overshadowed by the spectacular news
from the battlefronts in this global war,
but nonetheless having an important
bearing on the future of the Western
Hemisphere, the cause of peace among
the South American republics has rap
idly gained the ascendency in recent
months.
That inter- American peace is neces-
sary for world peace was brought home
to the minds Of students of international
affairs with increased clearness last
January when Peru and Ecuador set
tied their long -drawn-out boundary dis
pute. If that settlement had not been
achieved the Rio conference would have
been, if not total failure, at least only
a very limited success, and that would
have meant distinct setback to the
forces of freedom.
Ecuador and Peru were not, however,
the only South American countries with
problems to settle, and ever since the
Rio conference there has been a steady
effort to follow up the Ecuador Peru
portance of those efforts is obvious, but
since they have necessarily been con-
Quoted quietly they seem not to have
attracted as much attention as they
deserve.
A few are singled out here as samples
OF that determination of the South
American nations to dwell at peace with
one another which is one of the few
bright spots in the present international
picture.
Soon after the Rio conference Ven-
ezuela and Colombia settled their
boundary question and then proceeded
to set up a permanent commission for
considering all questions that may
arise between them in the future and to
decide them peaceably. That Is an i'm
portant step not only to the nations
Immediately concerned but to the United
Nations generally.
Frontier Problem Eased.
When the union among Venezuela. Co.
loniDla and Ecuador was dissolved in
1880 there were two matters that re-
fNA'cN odJoOACdtlOli Lie S1ldTB Ol JQe
puolc debt that each nation was to as
sumo and the frontiers. The former
was settled in relatively brief time
but the line between Venezuela and Co.
lombia was not accurately determined
and that problem, like all frontier prob
lems contained the seeds of trouble At
TO time, fortunately, was there grave
danger, but since the question was fund
amental it had to be settled and from
time to time attempts were made to
reach friendly agreement.
The Rio conference, though it cam
not be credited with having caused the
settlement, certainly facilitated and ex-
pedlted it. That all danger of conflict
between those two Caribbean powers is
nov removed is point of particular
Importance for the defense of the Pan
anna Canal, not to speak of its bearing on
f1fth-column activities and other matters.
A move which also is significant is the
invitation extended by Argentina to the
Venezuelan Minister OF Foreign Affairs to
