j. S..Finnish
Break Is Seen
HeIsinki Attitude
Prompts Crisis

WASHINGTON. March % =
up = A break between the
United States and Finland APP
peared today all but inevitable.
The only thing believed cap
able Of preventing final diplo-
matte rupture would be some Of
fetal word that peace negotia-
tions between the Firms and
Russia have not collapsed COM
pletely. q
Hope that such word would be
forthcoming was very slight in
informed quarters here. None
theless there was some reluc.
lance to abandon all hope.
The Finnish government was
notified several days ago that
the United States was recon-
sidering its relations with Fin
land. A break was not openly
threatened at that time but it
was clearly implied since it is
b out the only diplomatic
measure left to Washington.
On excellent authority it can
be said that the American policy
toward Finland is based on the
following principles:
The United States has main
tanned relations with the Firms
despite the fact that they are
Allies of Germany and enemies
of Britain and Russia because
American leaders thought that
by so doing they would have
more chance of getting Finland
to quit the war.
When the point is reached
where President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hull decide this
chance no longer exists there
will be no further reason for
maintaining relations. One Of
fetal said today that this point
must now be considered almost
at hand
The Finnish governments re-
luctance to make peace, as it is
understood here, is based more
on fear of Russian future policy
than on any specific item in the
term offered by Moscow.
There is conviction here that
IL the Firms could receive some
unquestionable assurance that
the Russians would not seek any
domination over Finland in the
future, or attempt to interfere in
Finland's internal affairs, Hell
sinki would accept the Russian
terms Immediately. But this is
considered to be like asking for
a miracle since it is impossible
for the Russians to do more
than give the assurances they
have given, that the terms offer
ed represent their full demands.
In the circumstances the Firms
apparently are gambling on
Russian exhaustion in the war
with Germany to such an ex-
tent that she would not want to
fight Finland to a finish.

Muskegon Breothes Freely;
Maxi Shells Are Removed

parently had been inspected by
army ordnance officers, b t
children playing in it found the
shells beneath a false bottom.
The army, explaining that the
shells obtained enough shrap-
mel and explosives to wreck a
house, pleaded for a quick re-
turn of the three, promising mo
questions" would be asked. Their
request was answered, but it was
later learned that the set screw
from the timer device on one of
the shells had been removed by
the youngsters and the fuse UNI
screwed. Army men said slight
tap on one end would have ex-
ploded he decorating charge.
The five projectiles remaining
in the tank were picked up by
the army on order of Capt. Elge
Rhinehart, area commander for
the Army Service Forces. Not
until an army ordnance officer
from Chicago reported Monday
night that an x-ray examination
showed they were extremely
dangerous was the plea made
for the return of the other three.
"We didn't sleep a wink last
night" commented the house
wife at the home where the last
shell was recovered IT'S out in
the barn. You get it."
The army now is considering
a full investigation.

LANSING, March % Up
The State Social Welfare Com
mission will be asked Friday
to form new policies implements
ing a law covering the regula-
ton of child boarding homes
and day care centers, a portion
OF Governor Kelly's Juvenile
delinquency control program
passed by the recent special
legislative session.
In addition TO its previous
power TO license upwards of g.
600 permanent boarding homes
for children, the law imposes
on the commission authority to
license day-care establishments
and gives il broader regulatory
powers.
F. F. Fauri, state welfare di-
rector, pointed out the law gives
the commission permission to
request the assistance of county
juvenile agents with the con-
sent of the probate judges.
In the past" Fauri said, "the
commission has always called
on the county agents to make
these licensing inspections, but
ii is possible that in some coun-
ties-especially the larger ones.
where the county agents have
too many duties already - the
probate judges may have to deny
us their help
Fauri said he would recon-
mend to the commission that Ii
censed children's agencies plac-
ing children in boarding homes
be asked - inspect them and re-
port to the commission before a
license is issued. Probate judges
might be asked to order inspec-
tons Of boarding homes to which
they place child wards, Fauri
said, and either county agents
or the commissions limited staff
could in oect the so-called Gin
dependent" boarding homes.

BY CURT RIESS
Written for NEA Service


The Germans have decided
that they want neither armis-
tice nor peace, according 10 a
report which has been received
by this writer. AS far as they're
concerned, the war can go on
forever.
This decision was reached by
Adolf Hitler and his most trust
ed lieutenants in a series Of
conferences, in which a number
of high Army officers took part
Total mobilization, as proclaim
ed by DR.. GoebbelS on July 26,
was not as hitherto believed, an
attempt 10 use every ounce Of
strength still left in Germany
TO prolong the war and postpone
the unavoidable military defeat.
Total mobilization was devised
to mobilize every ounce of
strength left in Germany to car
ry on, the fight after military
defeat has made military resist
ance in the established sense i'm
possible.
The idea behind this new pol
icy is the conviction of Nazi
leaders that, no matter whether
the Allies decide on a hard"
peace or a soft peace, the
Nazis will be eliminated from
public life and probably exc
cuted. Therefore any peace will
be worse for them than no
peace at all.
HITLER ONLY POWER
On the other hand, the Nazis
believe that as long as Hitler
does not sign an armistice or a
peace he will remain the only
legal power in Germany, hav-
ing been legally appointed by
President Hindenburg who, in
turn, was elected according 70
the Weimar constitution. AS
long as Hitler remains the head
of the only rightful German
government, everyb ody ap-
pointed by him retains his posi-
ton within the government,
even If he has to go into hiding
or into exile. This again would
make it impossible for anybody
except the Nazis themselves TO
negotiate with the Allies.
The Nazis have established a
commission to carry through
measures which may be neces-
sary to avoid the conclusion of
an armistice or peace treaty by
any other German representa-
tive. This commission, whose
members are a few topnotch
Nazis and high-ranking officers,
may later on function as Ger
man government, either in hid
ing or in exile.
In the meantime DR.. Goebbels
has prepared a host of DEGREES
to clarity the situation for the
German public. 1t is strictly
forbidden for any German to CO.
operate in any way with the oc-
cupation authorities wherever
