We are now within sight Of that
crucial moment of the war when
the statesmen must control events
Or lose their power to control them.
This moment will not last forever;
indeed it will already have ended
when the bugles give the order 10
cease firing. What happens after
that will be determined by. the
direction which Messrs. Churchill.
Stain and Roosevelt are able to
give now to the civil forces in the
defeated, the liberated, the neutral
and the victorious countries.
For now their influence is at its
maximum because they preside
over a military power which is
supreme and not yet expended.
Once the firing ceases, the influ-
ence of this military power will
rapidly decline, and their present
opportunity will never return.
For this reason a statesmanlike
settlement with Finland is import
ant, and with France and with Po-
land imperative.
A true settlement with Finland
can be had only by the adoption
in Helsinki and in Moscow of the
good-neighbor principle. Specifical-
ly, this would mean that an in
dependent democratic Finland has.
ed its security not upon the Ger
man CONNECTION, not upon being a
buffer between Russia and
the west, not upon the balance OF
power, but upon an alliance with
the Soviet Union; and that the
Soviet Union based it's security in
the northern region and towards
Scandinavia upon firm and
friendly respect for Finnish indie
pendence. No other settlement will
work. No other takes account OF
the realities and of the vital in
terests at stake.
The core of the difficulty in
reaching this settlement is that the
Finnish democracy has been over
awed by pro-Nazi and Fascist dig
archs who put Finland into the
second Russian war and have pre-.
vented her from Withdrawing. They
have exploited the historic Finnish
fear of Russia, the general fear O.
Bolshevism, and the good will O.
the western nations. Americans
who are quite right in thinking
that the Finnish nation is mos,
likable and respectable democracy
have had hidden from them the
fact that Finland has been in thu
hands of highly reactionary AND
dangerous men who, by censorship

Agreement Concludes
Controversy in Case
Mrs. Karin Offutt and Executors
of Estate of Late ID. E. Offutt
Come To Agreeable Terms

An agreement made between the
executors and trustees of the estate
of the late D. f. Offutt, and Karin
S. Offutt, his widow, also mother and
guardian of D. E. Offutt, III, has con-
Guided all legal proceedings now
pending in the courts of Maryland,
and makes definite settlement of all
controversies, it was learned this
morning from a copy of the pro-
ceedings filed in the Garrett County
/ Circuit Court.
Controversy the past year following
the death of d. f. Offutt on August
20, 1913. has been over a pre-nuptia
agreement, over possession of fur
niture and other household belongings
in the Offutt home, over attempted
eviction proceedings, and other mat
| tiers.
The agreement was signed by W.
R. Offutt and Neil c. Fraley, as exc
cutors, also as trustees; and by Karin
0ffutt, as widow. and also as mother
and guardian of D. f. Offutt III.
Contents Of the agreement of par
ticular interest include the following;
according to the records in the Court
House:
Agreed that a paragraph in the
ante-nuptial agreement, made Deem
Der 27. 1928. be altered and modified
to the effect that Karin Offutt would
receive $4,000 per year ($416.67 per
month"; or if she remarrics the
amount would be reduced to $500
per year, in full of any and all claims
on the estate. The previous wording
was to the effect that if she rcmar-
ried she would be paid a lump sum of
$4,000 and annual payments would
cease.
Following Mr. Offutt's death, Mrs
Offutt had elected to take her legal
share of the estate in lieu of the
ante-nuptial agreement and had asked
that the agreement be null and void.
