who identified himself as Donald
Day, correspondent Of the Chicago
Tribune for 20 years in Northern
Europe" declared in a broadcast
from Berlin, recorded by FEC and
CBS monitors last night, that Amer
lea was on the wrong side of the
war.
Just why I am speaking from
Berlin can wait until another talk;
for tonight I want to tell you
something about Finland" he said.
Excerpts:
THE Firms are nation of sports
men and they are continuing the
war against Bolshevism in q sports
man like spirit. This Is their last
struggle for survival. The great
majority of the Americans like the
Firms. Finland is an obstacle to
Roosevelt's ambitions and to his
friend, Stain. She blocks Stalin's
way to the ocean. Finland has not
changed her policy or her form
| of government. She fought for her
life in the winter war 1889 400
She fights for her life today. There
is something radically wrong in this
World War lineup. Finland has not
changed. but the American Gov
ernment has changed.
80 all Of you who wanted to help
Finland In the winter wal should
realize that America is on the wrong
side. Stain stands for the destruc-
ton Of Lthuania, Poland, 'Latvia,
etc. Roosevelt's war aims are the
same, The Roosevelt policy is the
policy of J. Pierpont Morgan"
(In Chicago, a Tribune representa-
tive said the newspaper had a cor
respondent named Donald Day In

approximately 20 years and that he
was discharged when he rejected

land went into the war at Ger
many's side. The Tribune had no
