This Changing World
Ryti Seeks Anti-Axis Cabinet in Peace Move;
Firms Pin Final Hope for independence on U. S.

the State Department In Wash
ington is being sounded out by
Finland about the possibility OF
approaching Moscow with the
view of opening peace negotia-
tions. When Minister Schoen-
field was in Washington he Is
said to have discussed the en-
tire matter with President
Roosevelt and Secretary of State
Hull. Whether he had some en-
colraging words for the Finnish
government when he returned to
Helsinki is a diplomatic secret.
But, in spite of certain
amount of pressure from our
other Allies, the United States
has maintained diplomatic rela-
tons with Finland Conse-
quently, the American Govern
ment is in position to approach
Moscow with suggestions to ac-
cept peace overtures from Fin
land.
The Firms hope for more than
that. They believe that PreN-
dent Roosevelt understands their
position and the reason they
have thrown their lot with the
Nazis.
The very fact that this coun-
try maintained friendly relations
with the Firms is, In the eyes of
President Ryti, the best proof
that we have understood his
countrys position.
Russia's Position.
Russia maintains that she at
tackled Finland In 1899, not so
much because she wanted certain
portions Of the country, but be-
cause the military intelligence
had definite proof that certain
influential elements III Finland
probably Marshal Gustav Man.
nerheim1 1had made secret ar
rangements with the Nazis to
permit them to use certain ad-
vanced strategic positions in their
eventual attack against the
Soviet.
How correct this assumption
was Is impossible to determine
now. Moreover. from the prac-
tical point of view, 1t is inmate
rial. Two wars between Russia
and Finland have been fought
since then.
The important thing now is
whether, in the event the new
Helsinki government is willing to
abandon the Axis ship, Russia is
willing to make peace on the
basis that Finland can maintain
herself as an independent state
and whether the United States
can induce the Moscow govern
ment to grant liberal peace con-
ditions to the Firms.
There is no question that there
are some Predetermined Firms.
But their number Is insignificant.
Hence, the cry we are likely to
hear that this country is protect
ing another Fascist group Is re-
futed here by those who know the
real conditions in Finland.

The Political Mill
Breker and WiIIkie Building New Fences
For Hottest Presidential Cumpoion in Years

days that Gov. Bricker looks like
the best bet for the COP nomi-
nation next year. Even the Dem
ocrats have fallen into the habit
of saying the same thing. 1t
must be remembered, however.
that many Republican members
of Congress have been "off" Mr..
Willkie. They have resented the
fact that he supported the foreign
policy of President Roosevelt and
many of the measures advanced
by the President for national de-
Tense before this country was at
tackled by Japan. They have re-
sented his structures aimed at
the old isolationist stand of the
party, and his efforts to give the
party an atmosphere of interna-
tional participation-after the
war is won. They have not rel
ished Mr. WILKES failure to
lambaste the New Deal to the
extent they would like.
However, Mr.. Willkie turned
loose devastating attack on the
New Deal administration in his
recent Lincoln day address, in
which he charged that the ad-
ministration was incapable of
managing the finances of the
country, and that its only pana-
cea for all ills has been to spend
more money than the Govern
ment had. Some Of Mr.. WILKES
erestwhile critics are beginning to
say that il he will really fight
the New Deal-he will gain back
a lot of the ground he has lost
with many Republicans.
When and If the Willkie cam
paign gets under way next year,
1t is expected Mr.. Willkie will
enter the primary races for dele
gates in many States. If he
can demonstrate great personal
strength among the voters in this
way, his position will have been
greatly strengthened.
Must Accept Challenge.
He is expected to challenge
Gov. Bricker in this field of en-
deavor. And Gov. Bricker will
almost certainly have to accept
the challenge. Certainly this will
be true If the field of candidates
is restricted, as it now seems to be.
In the past-in 1910, for ex-
ample-the number of potential
presidential nominees was larger
than today. Gov. Dewey of New
York, Senator Taft of Ohio and
Senator Vandenberg of Michi-
gan have in recent months de-
clared themselves out of the
1914 race. So, unless many of
the States determine to send un-
pledged delegations, or find
"favorite- son. candidates to give
their pledges to, the fight will
be between the Bricker and Will
kie forces.
The present picture may change
as the months roll by. Circum-
stances and events may develop
other candidates among the Re-
publicans for the presidential
nomination. But as of today, 1t
seems to be Willkie or Bricker
as the COP choice.
There is always the possibility
in the background that II Gov.
Dewey continues to make good as
chief executive of New York, the
convention may take the matter
into its own hands and nominate
him willy-nilly. This would be
all the more likely should dead
lock in the convention arise. with
neither the Bricker or Willkie
forces able to muster q majority
of the delegate votes.

-Rebuffed by the House, Re

Committee today fight for
abatement of a full years levieS
in the new current collection
tax bill.
Minority Leader McNary of

income taxes on a current basis
would have full Republican sup
port in the committee. If it un-
expectedly fails there, he said
the Republicans would take the
issue to the floor, just as their
colleagues did unsuccessfully in
the House.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
AS the committee began pub
lie hearings on House-approv-
ed bill the Republicans looked
to Senator Clark (D-Mo) to
take the lead in offering the
Ruml principle. Clark told re-
porters he would seize the first
opportunity to try to substitute
his own bill. which would ex-
cuse the same full years tax for
everybody without reference to
windfall income, which the Mis-
souri, senator said ought to be
taxed n separate measure.
If this fails, Clark indicated
he would support the Carlson
Ruml plan rejected by four
vote margin in the House. This
plan would eliminate a years
tax for all taxpayers - the 1912
levies being dropped for all with
incomes up to $4,000 and either
the 1912 or 1913, whichever is
the lower, for those in higher
brackets.
This bill would inaugurate on
July 20 per cent withhold
ing levy on the taxable portion
of wages and salaries, as would
the House-approved pay as you
60 bill and the Clark measure.
EXCUSE 10 PER CENT
The House measure would ex-
cuse only the 10 per cent tax
represented in the first two
brackets of 1912 levies, thus
wiping out the full tax for single
persons with incomes up to ST.
500 and married persons up to
5000. The basic 10 per cent
then would be collected cur
rently as it was earned, but
those who owed taxes in the
higher brackets would pay
them the following year as
they do now.
Calling this worse than no
bill at ALL" Clark said he was
confident a majority of the
Finance Committee would sup
