voice was mechanical.
Before answering John Smith
gave a bright peso to a young In
dian boy. To timer child he gave
several jingling coins, Of smaller

she could not remember how many

make sense.
But John Smith was now an

FINNISH PEACE
STILL SOUGHT

STOCKHOLM, March 20 -@ -
DISPATCHES from Helsinki and re-
ports circulating in Stockholm in
dicated tonight that new moves
were under way to get Finland
out of the war.
The tight Finnish censorship
passed a message from Helsinki to
the Associated Press bureau in
Stockholm saying: Zone has feel
ing something is going on, es-
pecially abroad"
Although Premier Edwin Linko-
mics government informed Mos
COW two weeks ago that it could
not accept the proposed 6-point
armistice terms, peace advocates
in Finland remain active and there
have been more behind the scenes
moves in Stockholm.
A Finnish foreign office spokes-
man said in Helsinki that he knew
of no new peace development. 1t
was noted, however, that the Mos
COW radio had ceased threats
against the Films and Helsinki OBJ
servers said that broadcasts from
Britain and the United States still
dealt with positive comments on
the Finnish-Russian negotiations.

other than the mere problem OF
getting to the other side was hold

the Rumanian border three days
earlier.
Indications were the Russians
might be holding off to give the
Rumanians a final chance to in

carefully avoided infringement on
