Bananas, No Bombs

A few days ago little girl lay
dying in a Copenhagen hospital
Now, thanks to swift international
action involving three countries,
an Allied transport plane and a
cargo of bananas, the little girl
may live. Danish specialists found
the child to be suffering from
rare intestinal disease which only
a diet of bananas could cure.
A frantic search revealed that
there was not a single banana in
Denmark, neither were there any
in Sweden. But, by some strange
quirk of fate, Norway, the land
of a thousand shortages, did hap
pen to have the bananas. Only a
few hours before, a whole shipload
of this precious fruit, purchased
by the Norwegian Government
during the war, had arrived in
Oslo from the Canary Islands.
Within a few hours a special
Red Cross transport permit had
been arranged and an Allied plane
rose from the Oslo airport and
headed south, loaded with ban
anas, not bombs. With the mercy
flight went the wishes of 3 mil
lion Norwegians, grateful for this
opportunity to repay small part
of their debt of gratitude to Den
mark and for a peaceful world
which values so highly the life of
single child.

u. ). Resumes
Finn Relations

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-The
State Department today amour
ced resumption of relations with
Finland, effective at midnight to-
morrow night.
The decision was taken because
the United States government con-
siders the present government
broadly representative of all
democratic elements in Finnish
political life
Relations with the tiny Scand
navian country, which has a long
history of friendship with the
United States, were broken off
June 80, 1914, after the failure of
all efforts of President Roosevelt
to bring about peace between Fin
land and Russia.
The explanation given at the
time was that there could no
longer be any justifiable reason
for the United States to continue
diplomatic friendship with a coun-
try at war with it's two great
allies, Russia and Britain.
An American legation is actu-
ally in operation in Helsinki and

tary, would be charge daffaires
