expediency in flashing out at a
subordinate enemy. II they can
neutralize Finland quickly, thus
eliminating the threat TO the
Reds northern flank, the Rus
slams naturally will be in better
position for a drive against the
enemy elsewhere.
Furthermore, if able to base
their planes in Finland, the Rus
slams would strengthen their
hand against German positions
in the Baltic states. Soviet war
ships and submarines would be
free TO work out of the Gulf of
Finland, which the Germans
have laced with elaborate anti
submarine nets.
Another obvious purpose OF
the drive is 10 cut Germany 5
supply lines TO far northern Fin
land, forcing the Nazis 10 use
the more dangerous route
around Norway, and making
more hazardous German iron
ore shipments through the Gulf
of Bothnia.

Justice Parent and Prosecutor

court and emphasized that they
Will not tolerate further condi-
tons of neglect. Although the
man had defied two previous
court bans to stay out Of the
livestock business, and admitted
his violation Of such orders, he
again repeated his promise to
quit the business. He willingly
signed a stipulation allowing the
sheriff 10 sell his livestock.
In January, Rivard paid a
$50 fine and costs 10 Justice
Parent, and two $50 fines and
costs before Justice Frank E.
Jeanette on three separate
charges of cruelty TO animals.
The cases at that time involved
the deaths of four horses from
neglect and exposure, and the
subsequent death Of two others
which had TO be shot by State
Police because of their dying
condition. When arrested in
January Rivard had $500 in his
possession.
Ten days ago, State Police

found one horse dead Rivard
was ordered TO bury the animal,
but no substantial basis for
criminal action was available
that day.
