Lapland alone were estimated at
S265,OOO
Most urgent of the longer-range
rehabilitation measures has been
restoration of communications.
The industrial rena oilitation sec
ton of the UNRRA program pro-
vided Finland with a fleet of 1Ol
trucks which helped in solving
initial transport problems and
made possible dispatch of supplies
to the devastated regions.
The UNRRA trucks are report
ed to be in constant use. Most of
them are being operated "a hours
a day with two or three shifts of
drivers. Yet to re-establish Lap
lands communication system on
a Seally satisfactory basis some
500 to 800 additional trucks are
needed. according to reports from
UNRRA field agents.
The major problems which still
remain and are now confronting
Finnish authorities are:
l. Reconstruction of private
and public buildings This task,
estimated to require an expendi-
ture of about $500, 600, 900 is i'm
peded by lack of cement. steel
bars, window glass and roofing
material
2. Restoration of communica-
| tons and transport. Finland must
itself shoulder the burden of re-
pairing the railways and roads of
Lapland and manufacture the
necessary large number of river
boats. According to preliminary
calculations large expenditures
are involved which the Govern
ment may not be able to meet
without external help.
8. In clothing and food the
most urgent relief needs have
been met, but. while it cannot be
said that the population is suf-
fering from starvation. there is
still considerable undernourish-
ment among the people The ma
jor portion of Finland's need for
cereals is at present being supplied
by the Soviet Union.
4. Agricultural rehabilitation
is mainly dependent on the import
OF cattle-fodder Lack OF fertili-
zers and shortage of fishing nets
have been partly relieved by
UNRRA.

Fight Against InfIotion
Stressed by Premier
Erlonder

STOCKHOLM, March 3-(By
wireless)-"The fight against in
flation and continued strides in the
realm of social welfare are the
two main duties of the Swedish
Government" said Prime Minister
Tage Erlander in a newspaper in
terview during his first official
visit to Copenhagen since he as
sumed the premiership.
The large credits that Sweden
has granted during and especially
after the war are an expression
of our desire to participate in the
International reconstruction work
according to our financial ability.
But they have also been necessary
as a foundation for the develop
ment of trade in markets that
otherwise might have proven diff
ficult if not impossible to reach.
Consequently our budget situa-
ton contains many elements of
risk.
Low Export Level Cause
for Worry
Our most serious economic
worry. however, is the low export
level which, considering the fall
in our monetary value, has not
yet reached the pre-war stage.
Currency holdings have flowed out
of the country, and since the be-
ginning of last year our reserves
have fallen from 2.6 billions to
about Is billions of kronor. 1t
is only necessary to reduce this
sum a little bit more, and Swed-
ems freedom of movement in in
ternational trade will become Sc
verely limited"
Mr.. Erlander said in closing
that Sweden's economic difficult
ties should not, however, be eX-
aggerated. The risk of an infla-
tionary trend can probably be met
and mastered. Discussions are
now in progress between the lead
ers of the various political par
ties in order to try to stabilize
the value of the krona.

Finland Overcoming Her Food
Shortage By New Trade Ties

Compared to the large sums ex-
pended on countries in central and
southeastern Europe. the help of
the United Nations Relief and Re-
Mobilization Administration to
Finland has been on a small scale
despite the severe damage which
the retreating German armies in
flicted upon Finland's northern
provinces in the rail of 1914.
Relief supplies allocated to Fin
land totaled S2.5o0.0OO. of which
more than half was earmarked for
clothing, textiles, and footwear.
according to a report issued by
the UNRRA European Regional
Office.
In practice. as pointed out in
that report, Finland is depending
on its trade agreements with the
United States and the U. S. S. R.
rather than on UNNRA for over
coming its food shortages. and
much of the credit for alienation
of Finnish domestic conditions has
to go to the Swedish Government
and number of foreign relief
agencies.
Most prominent among the lat
ter ones have been the American
Red Cross which has furnished
Finland with S25o0,0O0 worth of
supplies: the Swedish Relief Com
mittee for Finnish Children which
has received and cared for nearly
10000 children evacuated from
northern Finland; the Lutheran
Church of the United States which
has contributed $1,000 900 for re-
lief work, and the Society of
Friends Committee and the Swiss
Red Cross.
In their withdrawal from Fin
nish territory in September. 1914,
the German Army carried out a
campaign of ruthless destruction.
Everywhere in Lapland public
buildings, churches, schools, and
private dwelling houses were sys
tematicslly destroyed. Devastation
extended even to lonely lockwood
houses which We're either pillaged
or burned Cattle and reindeer
were butchered. roads and rail
roads blown up, and boats, the
only means Of communication
along Lspland's extensive water
ways. stolen.
Faced with these terror acts,
the Finnish authorities had no
choice but 10 sVacuate the entire
area.
Altogether 10000 persons had
70 Dc removed from the emhattled
areas. Sweden took 5000 Of the
evacueeS and the remainder were
provided for in central and south

labor legislation for some weeks there
are good grounds for believing the
same situation will prevail and the
same arguments apply as in the case
of the budget cuts. The personnel of
the Senate Labor Committee and the
attitude of the Senate leaders makes
it fairly certain that the bill that body
eventually passes will be too mild for
the House, the Republican members
Of which are convinced their constitu-
ents will be keenly disappointed if
they do not get a really restrictive
law Hence, the forecast is that the
House will amend the Senate bill by
inserting more and sharper teeth in it
and will fight more determinedly to
keep them in.

House vs.. Senate

House vs.. Senate
Washington, Feb. 81.
One thing made clear this week in
Washington is that on both labor
legislation and governmental re-
trenchment, the Republicans in the
House are going to be considerably
tougher than the Republicans in the
Senate. Also, more united and dis
ciplined-not to say clearheaded.
The most convincing evidence of
this was in the vote by which the
House adopted the resolution reduc-
ing the Truman budget by $4,000, 000,-
900. The Republicans not only voted
solidly for the resolution but were
joined by twelve Democrats, the total
being 239 to 175. In contrast, on the
Senate side the Senate Republican
leadership, as exemplified by Sena-
tors Taft and Nandenburg, supported
the milder cut of $4,500,0 100000, which
with Democratic aid, they put thru.
What happens now? Why, the whole
business goes into conference where
compromise between the House de-
mand for a $6,000000,O0O cut and the
Senate insistence on $4,500,0 100000
will be effected-and that compromise
will be accepted by both branches.
Now, the more acute observers of the
congressional scene are pretty well
united in the conviction that this COM
promise will be closer to the Houses
six billion than the Senate's four and
a half. For this belief they have what
seems to be two very sound reasons.
First, there Is the fact that the
unanimity OF the Republicans in the
House logically should make the
House conferees very much more de-
termined in the conference committee
than the Republican senators, more
of whom would like to have been for
the siX-billion cut but were either con-
WINGED that this could not be made
without seriously Gripping the nation
al defense or were frightened off by
the shrill cries and violent assault of
the opposition. 1t is notable that this
assault did not scare the House Re-
publieans in the least. On the con-
trary, it appeared to have the opposite
effect.
Mostly this was due to the rather
transparent fact that the noise and
the charges largely come from the
left-wing elements Of the country, in
Guiding former New Deal radio COM
mentators, journalists, press agents
and labor politicians. In addition, of
course, there are the army-navy Of
ficials and others sincerely convinced
that the siX-billion cut will make it
impossible adequately to fulfill our
foreign commitments and whose tes-
timony cannot lightly be disregarded.
The second reason for feeling that to
some extent House views will prevail
over the Senate in conference COM
mittee, is the feeling that the House
Republicans, all of whom come up for
reelection in 1913 and who generally
are in closer personal touch with their
constituents than the senators, more
correctly interpret the popular senti-
ment behind the returns in the No
vember election which gave Republi-
cans control and possibility in this
Congress. Firmly believing this to be
true, the House Republicans naturally
will put up harder fight for a cut
above five billion.
Though the test will not come on
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1947-03-06


In brief, the House Republicans on
practically every issue will solidly
support their leaders. On the Senate
side this is not the case, There are at
least four left-wing Republican SEN
ators who do not follow the leaders.
This means that while there is an
actual Republican majority in the Sen
ate it is SO slim that, with any de-
lection at all, Democratic votes are
needed to make it function. Consider
ing these things it is easy to under
stand why clean-cut and effective
action is more to be looked for from
the House than from the other branch
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1947-03-06

In their attitude toward labor, as in
their attitude toward the budget, the
House Republicans will be sustained,
first, by their fixed belief that they
reflect the overwhelming sentiment Of
the people; second, by knowledge that
the opposition largely comes from
elements and individuals who have not
supported any Republican candidate
in fifteen years and who certainly
will not support the Republican can
didates in 1913 no matter what Re-
publicans do in this Congress-. There
is one other thing to be noted-in the
House there are extremely few lib
eral" Republicans, almost no insur-
gents-so few that they are unable
by combining with the Democrats
ever to block the will Of the majority

pronounced KRAW-flsh, prevails
in American usage. Crayfish, the
older spelling, is actually corrup-
ton of The Middle English crevise.

the old high German crebiz, "a

feminine pronoun. A member OF
our club insists that she can b.
used as noun. Could that be right?
Mrs. l.. c. w.
Answer-Yes; Merriam Webster's
and others list she" also as a noun.
Shakespeare wrote: THE fair, the
chaste and INEXPENSIVE she" Also:
Lady. you are the cruel'st she
