APP BUREAU CHIEF
VISITS HELSINKl

| EuWlu Sl1duht, VI VS
Associated Press Bureau at
Stockholm has paid visit to
HeIsinki as one of group OF
U. S. newspapermen who saw
the Finnish capital first-hand
for the first time in many
months.
By EDWIN SHANKE
HELSINKI, Finland, March 10.
-lREFinland waited patiently to-
day for Russia's answer to what
was described here as Finnish
request for an opportunity to ne
gotiate armistice terms.
This was the fourth anniversary
of peace in the 1910 winter war.
Almost a week has passed since
the Finnish note was sent to Rus
STA. A reply is expected almost
momentarily, foreign office
spokesman said. The longer Russia
delays its response, the calmer the
Firms appear to grow because they
feel it is a good sign, this spoke
man said.
Externally, however, Helsinki
looks very warllke. and-depressing.
The casual observer could hardly
realize that Finland is passing
through a peace crisis.
The people are grim and deter
mined. There is no gaiety. Res
tau-ant life, which is one of the few
ways the Firms have to find relaxa-
ton and enjoyment, has been dam
pened further by a law forbidding
the serving of spirits after $3.50
pm.
One sees few happy smiles as
one passes down the bomb-batter-
ed streets.
1t is estimated that third of
the city's 3OO,O population-main-
ly women, children and the aged
have evacuated to the country
side There was no sterner warn
ing that this war is costing Finland
heavily than wagon load of new
wooden caskets moving slowly
down Mannerheim Avenue.
You see a sp-inkling of German
soldiers on the downtown streets.
Except for the street activity, one
could almost term Helsinki a ghost
city, similar to the. American
boom-day towns later deserted.
A high percentage of windows in
street after street have been board
ed shut. Many of the boards hide
ruined, burned out interiors. Be-
hind others, business goes on as
usual but the shelves are even
emptier than they were when !
was here a year ago.
