HELSINKI,.- Aug. 2. - Ten
months after the end of its war
with Russia Finland's 100000
people face crises on all sides.
Finland's fuel and food situa-
ton never has been worse. To
stave off hunger this winter and
keep factories and railroads OPP
Grating government officials say
the country needs at least 1926, 900
tons of grain, 5000 tons of fat,
10000 tons of sugar and above all
100000 tons of coal. The daily
food ration, about half normal.
ranges from 200 to LOO calories
depending upon the kind of work
a person does.
1t is estimated that it will take
the country Is years to rebuild
what the retreating Germans de-
stroyed, in northern Finland, to
settle Firms evacuated from areas
coded to Russia, and to eliminate
the great housing shortage in the
cities.
Lack of raw materials and
capital hampers the program.
Weighing heavily on Finland is
the S300,000,000 in PREPARATIONS
which must be paid to the Rus
slams in goods during the pext six
years. Nd i,,&ts - 81. g.
To meet the bill Finland has
been obliged to revolutionize her
industry and begin to produce for
export such things as machinery
and ships, which formerly she i'm
ported.
Before the war Finland paid
for its extensive imports mainly
through the vast export of paper
pulp and wood products. This ca
pacity now is extremely limited
and in 1945 and 1916 officials es-
innate the country will only be
able to export yearly $4,000, 900
worth of such goods.
>
Government experts believe
foreign credits of at least
$50,000,000 will be necessary to
pull Finland through, provided
she is able to obtain the necessary
imports. Finland is setting it's
hopes on her past record as "a
land which pays its debts" and is
looking especially to the western
Allies and Sweden for economic
assistance.
Abroad Finland has debts six
times as great as before the war
$12O, $1,000 worth. She also has
domestic debt which has sky
rocketed from 4,00O,OOO,0OO Finn
marks in 1888 to 68,OOO,OOO,O 900 to-
day.

After coal is loaded into cars
several samples are taken from

Foley Urges Caution
In Planning Repairs
Under FHA Loans

Owners planning Improvements or
repairs under FHA-insured i'm

warned this week by Commissioner
Raymond A. Foley Of the Federal
Housing Administration they should
take sound business precautions"
as they proceed.
He pointed out that FHA apprais-
ais and inspections, which are Of
fered in case q home Is purchased
under FHA-insured loans, do not
extend to repair or Improvement
work"
In transactions Of this type"
Mr. Foley added, property owners
should select carefully the dealer,
contractor or builders who will sup
ply the material and do the work.
To obtain the best values available,
more than one bid should be OBJ
tained, and these from reputable
firms capable Of performing salts
factory work.
"The materials to be used, the ex-
act work to be done, the cost Of the
completed Job and other pertinent
details Of the project should be
clearly covered by written agree
ment. The borrowers completion
certificate should, in no event, be
signed prior to the actual and salts
factory completion of the job.
while the Title I program is
based on the good faith of all par
ticipating parties, occasionally there
are dealers that tend to abuse the
privileges accorded them under the
program" Mr.. Foley continued.
Thus it becomes the responsibility
of the director to determine the cor
rective action that should be taken"
FILA Title I loans are made by
about 4,500 qualified private lend
ing institutions throughout the
country. They are repayable in
monthly installments over a period
which NAV run as long as 36 months.
