|Pehr f. Svinhufvud,
president Of Finland
From 81 10 81, Dies
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, March IA Helsinki
dispatch broadcast last night by
DNB, German news agency, re-
ported the death yesterday of Pehr
Evind Svinhufvud, President of Fin
land from 1881 to 1887. He was 81
years old.
Third President Of the Finnish
republic, Pehr Evind Svinhufvud
fought for his country's freedom for
so years, enduring the hardships OF
arrest and exile to Siberia before
attaining the goal that made him
a national hero. On December 6,
1917, as president of the Finnish
Senate, the chief executive officer
of the land, he issued the declara-
ton of Finnish independence.
Russia had held Finland since
1908. During the World War Rus
sian officials had difficulty in per-
suading the Firms to shoulder rifles
In the Cars cause. Svinhufvud,
then a judge, was seized as leader of
the passive resistance and was ban
ished to Tomsk, Siberia, with his
wife. When Czar Nicholas II fell
and revolution swept Russia SWIM
hufvud returned to Finland and re-
ceived the greatest ovation in the
history of the country.
Headed Provisional Government.
Almost automatically he became
head of Finlands provisional gov
ernment. The exact course of the
country was not clear until Lenin
and Trotzky overthrew the Keren-
sky government in Russia. Then
Finland proclaimed its independ-
ence. Civil war followed between
the Reds" and the Whites" ir
Finland. but German intervention
swung victory to the Whites in April
1918.
After restoration of normal condi-
tions -Svinhufvud retired to private
life, but in July. 1880, with the in.
ternal political affairs of the coun.
try upset, he was summoned to be.
come Premier.
AS Premier and then President
Svinhufvud suppressed disorder,
by the Lapua, or Fascists, and gave
to Finland period of peace anc
order after years of strife. In l93I
he lost the presidency to Kyost
Kallio, who became the nations first
farmer President.
Again as Premier it was up to him
to preside at the meeting of Parlia-
ment which on February 16, 1881,
elected President for the six-year
term. Two electoral ballots were
inconclusive. The tellers delivered
the result of the third. Without
a quiver Svinhufvud announced:
"Svinhufvud is elected President" :"
Cheers rang out. He raped for
quiet and said calmly, Order
please"
Ancestors of Old Nobility.
Svinhufvud, who headed the anti
Communist coalition government in
Finland, was a big. bald, bristling
man. whose ancestors were hardy
landed gentry of the old nobility
He was born on December Is, 1861
on his paternal agricultural estate
at Saaksmaki, in what was then
the autonomous grand duchy of Fin
land. He was graduated from the
University of Helsingfors in 1881
studied law and became an asso-
ciate justice of FinlandS Court oi
Appeals in 1901. Ultimately he rose
to be procurator of the Finnish
Senate, the highest judicial office
open to a Finn under the Russian
regime.
Along with his judicial and Other
duties he held seat in the Fin.
nish Parliament from 1894 on, frs
by virtue of his nobility and latel
as an elected member to the one
chamber diet, which he helped t.
organize in 1906,

for suspending rationing, provided
that such surpluses could be moved
to seaboard and overseas.
"A careful review of the present
position has satisfied the govern
ment that for the time being the
excess supply of meat coming to
market, over and above the amount
needed to meet domestic require
ments at the present rate of con-
sumption, is in excess of our physical
capacity to move it into export
channels, and that the sensible and
proper course to take is temporarily
to suspend meat rationing"
This period of extra supplies both
here and in Canada may last only
a few weeks. Livestock marketings,
particularly of beef cattle, are ex-
pected to decline in the spring and
summer Such decline would make
it necessary to raise ration values
here and to resume rationing in
Canada.
If livestock follow their normal
pattern-and there is no reason to
assume that they will not-supplies
will increase again next fall and
winter.
Seed Supplies Falling.
But 1914 may well be the peak
production year in both Canada and
the United States. Both countries
have been able to expand produc-
ton greatly since the war started
because both had large reserves of
livestock feed. The reserves in this
country have been depleted and the
Canadian supplies are going down
sharply
Because of a relative shortage of
feed this government has asked
farmers to produce fewer meat ami
mails this year.
Such reduction would be re-
f1ected in smaller supply of meat
next year. Yet, whether the war is
over next year or not, overseas mill
tary and relief requirements are eX-
pected to be larger than this year
Hence, civilians on this side of the
Atlantic would get less.
Some food authorities believe it
may take two or three years after
the war ends to reach a supply sit
uation which would permit lifting
of meat rationing in this country

Never take it for granted that any drug product

A famous research bureau in New York
