MOSCOW, April %. -(P)- The
Russian people, convinced more
than ever before of Finland's close
cooperation with their bitter en-
envy, Hitler, looked to the United
States today for some move
against the Films who rejected
armistice terms proffered by the
U. S. S. R.
Continued maintenance of rela-
ticns with the United States gives
great moral support to the Firms,
the Russians reason and it is felt
here that a change in these rela-
tons might bring the Films to
change their stand quickly.
Russian sentiment toward the
Firms was crystalized last night by
a statement of Andrei J. Vishinsky,
Soviet vice-commissar of foreign
affairs, who announced armistice
negotiations had been brought to a
close by Finnish rejection of Rus
sian terms and said Britain and the
United States had approved Rus
s;a's action. He sharply criticized
the attitude of the Finnish govern
ment which he said "prefers to
leave It's country in vassal subjec-
ton to Hitherto Germany"
1t is too early to tell what the
next Soviet moves against Finland
may be.
The Russians may hurl a terrible
air offensive against Finland's CT
ties; they may initiate large
scale land campaign or they may
begin operations from the freed
waters of the Gulf of Finland -
they may combine all three of
these operations.
There is a possibility that the
Russians may wait to see what
effect Finland's rejection of the
Soviet terms may have on the
United States and Britain.
The feeling prevails among Rus
slams that the terms were magma
nimous. The Russian people be-
lieve most of the world feels the
same way about the terms. includ-

ternment of enemy armies in Fin
land; restoration of the Finnish

DENVER.-War has wrought q
new industrial kingdom in the
American west rivaling that of the
eastern states, and possibly fore
shadoWing revolution in postwar
marketing patterns.
The west always has had the
natural resources - iron, copper,
oil, coal and a dozen other re-
sources upon which factories feed.
Just as important, it now has the
worlds two greatest hydro cleo
trio plants, Boulder Dam and
Grand Coulee. and dozen small
er ones.
The Pacific Coast states alone
California, Oregon, Washington
and Arizona, produce: two fifths
of all U. S. lumber; two-fifths of
all U S. gold; one-third of U. S.
copper; one-sixth of U. S. petrol
cum; one-sixth of U. S. natural
gas; one-seventh Of U. S. silver
and two-fifths of the U. S. fish
catch.
But the west has lacked capital
and vast, working populations.
Therefore it had to buy manufac-
tured goods from the industrialized
east.
Industrial Revolution
War was a magnet which drew
billions of dollars and thousands Of
people to the west.
In thre years the war brought

Earl Warren of California.
Growth OF the northwest has
been spectacular. A new alumni
mum industry has arisen, besides
giant shipbuilding, aircraft, mag

In the Portland area industrial
employment jumped from 20, 600 in
1910 to approximately 100000 in
1913, not counting another 10000
that has been added, since then,
in one plant. Seattle gained 1926
per cent in industrial employment.
A giant new $19O,OO0,000 steel
