"UN WISE, UNPATRIOTIC, and
fraught with PERIL TO OUR FREE
INSTITUTIONS"


THE Republicans nominated Gen.
i Hayes, governor of Ohio. The
Democrats nominated Gov. Tilden Of
New York. The carpet-baggers still
controlled Florida, Louisiana and
South Carolina. There were bloody
race riots and federal troops were
called out.
election returns gave Tilden
1S4 votes for sure and Hayes was
lost unless he could win Florida,
Louisiana and South Carolina, and
even then, he would have only 185
against Tilden's 1S4.
The country rang with charges Of
corruption, bribery, intimidation,
perjury and forgery.
In South Carolina, both Repub-
lican and Democratic electors de-
clared their candidates elected.
In Florida, the Republicans
claimed the state by only 40 votes;
the Democrats claimed it by only 90.
Electors of both parties voted for
their candidates.
Two governors were inaugurated.
In Louisiana, the Democrats
claimed a majority of 5000. The
Republicans rejected most of the
polls as ILLEGAL.
The electors of both parties voted
for their candidates.
CONGRESS met on Dec. in a
- state of tension like that pre-
ceding the Civil War.
Many Democrats vowed to put
Tilden in the White House by force
of arms if necessary.
The Republicans were ready to
meet violence with violence.
twas decided to submit the mat
ter to an electoral commission in
Guiding five justices Of the Supreme
Court.
After unbearable suspense the
commission by ONE vote declared
that Hayes was elected by ONE vote
ONE day before Inauguration day.
If Gov. Tilden had not nobly used
all his influence, the infatuated
Democrats would have started
revolution.

Congress obeyed and passed the
bill. The Supreme Court promptly
annulled it as unconstitutional.
The President organized the
gigantic NRA and the court killed
it in an afternoon.
AS for voting the Constitution is
exceedingly explicit in putting the
whole matter into the HANDS OF
THE STATES. 1t does say that in
the matter of electing senators and
congressman, Congress itself may
make slight changes. But as to elect
ing the president and vice president
it is very rigid.
The states elect the electors them
selves as they please and the electors
elect the president.
Anything else is absolutely illegal.
Soldiers and everybody else must
vote for presidential electors selected
by their states.
THERE is NO SUCH THING
AS A NATIONAL BALLOT. THE
IDEA VIOLATES THE A &C OF
OUR CONSTITUTION.
If the soldiers votes were all
handled as the President wants them
to be and as the first Green-Lucas
bill proposed, the whole election
might very well be voided.

The Tragedy Of Finland

THE Russian terms Of surrender and
peace proposed to Finland, as they
have been authoritatively disclosed, leave
no doubt of Russian intentions concerning
Finland
They are not terms Of military sur
render, but of national submission and
disintegration.
They do not offer peace to Finland as
anation, even as a defeated and conquered
nation, but as a SLAVE STATE incor-
porated within the Soviet Union.
They do not even offer an armistce-a ces-
sation of military operations against the Firms
after they have ceased to resist become inca
pable of resistance-untiI ALL THE CITIES OF
FINLAND HAVE BEEN OCCUPIED AND
GARRISONED BY THE RED ARMY
The further condition of a cessation of military
operations is that government be established
in Finland subject TO Russian approval puppet
government, Of course, constituting a SOVIET
REGIME.
Russia is clearly intent upon bringing the
national existence the independence and SOY
ereignty and the very identity of Finland to an end
Russia is brazenly Indifferent to what the rest
of the civilized world and the democratic nations
of the world-including the United States and
Great Bntain-may think of this procedure
PUSSIA is completely caIous to what the demo
cratic hberty-loving people of Finland think

Russia is going to occupy Finland and absorb
Finland, and convert Finland into Soviet Russian
possession under permanent Communist govern
ment.
Finland alone is not concerned about this de
hberately intended and rapidly Undertaking.
situation.
All Of Europe is decplv and gra4cly concerned.
For Russia is not going to stop with occupa-
ton and absorption Of Finland-vith rejection

cratic nations involved in the present war.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-02-21

Russia is going to occupy the larger part of
Europe as a whoe-with Illustration of all the
magnificent efforts of the democratic nations in
this war.
Russia is intent and bent not just on the trans
fer of democratic Finland to communism, but on
the transfer of all of Europe to communism.
Russia's program in Finland shows her ability
to dominate sovereign nation, against the inter-
ests and ideals of other sovereign nations.
1t shows her confidence in her ability to
dominate all of Europe.
The Russian attitude is, of course, a ruthless
and arrogant and autocratic attitude.
All of the nations conquered and occupied by
system; and that will affect all of Europe not
merely the countries adjacent to Russia.
CPAIN will be Communist, France will be Com
- munist-every nation in continental Europe
with the possible exception of Holland and Bel
gum, is likely to be Communist.
And while off-shore Britain may succeed in
negotiating a non Communist alliance with Hol-
land and Belgium, as she is presently attempting
to do, what they do against the rest of Europe!
This is the pattern of impending and ma
terialzng events in Europe.
Finland seems destined to be the first, but by
no means the last, of the sovereign European ma
tions to lese its identity and its very being in this
Russian-conceved pattern
What a travesty it is that American and Brit
ish statesmen, confronted by the reality and GER
tainty of such pattern, still talk of the postwar
world in terms of the Atlantic Charter, of the
,Moscow declarations and of the Cairo and Teheran
conferences!
The only realists among the United Nations
apparently are the Russians.
The greatest opportmists among the United
Nations are the Russians
Certainly all the final and permanent aggres.
sons and occupations and aggrandizements of this
war are shaping up as Russian.
