HELSINKI, Finland-Relations
between Russia and Finland have
been interesting to observe.
Like every small country on the
Russians border, Finland is sub
ject to pressure from its big neigh
Dor. But Russia has been surpris-
ingly lenient with the Firms, espe-
cially considering that they are a
defeated nation. The Firms have
more independence, perhaps. even
than the Czechs.
Finland is the only defeated en-
emy state that Russia did not oc-
cupy. The Firms, in general, dislike
Russia. They have neither Slavic
blood nor a language in common.
But they are very grateful that the
Russians have interferred no more
than they have since 1914. One
Finn told me:
Expected to Go to Siberia
Nearly all Of lis feared all Fin
land would be taken over in much
the way the Baltic states were in
1899 and 1910. In case something
might have happened to me I made
arrangements to shelter my family
in a small remote village. We were
all making jokes about how we
would wear out three or four pairs
of shoes before we reached our des-
tination in Siberia
Much the same expression was
voiced by a conservative business
man who openly admitted that he

precipitated Russia's actions IN
Southeastern and Central Europe.
This is regarded, however, as a fal-
lacy by those who have followed
carefully Russia's moves since the
end of the war.
Unconcerned About y. S.
Russian plans for subjugatfon OF
Europe were laid during and after
the Yalta Conference. according to
those who were closely associated
with him there. Those few who were
able and willing to read between the
lines realized then that Moscow In
tended to take as much as possible
of Europe under the pretext OF ma
tional defense needs.
Russian military leaders were
quite frank in their rare conversa-
tions with high-ranking Americans.
They said that, in order to avoid a
repetition of World War IFS devas-
tating aggression, they must have a
widely expanded outside strategic
periphery in which the potential
enemy would spend his first blows.
This is of first Importance these
days, they insisted, when new
weapons with much greater range
than in 1941 have been perfected.
The question of how far the Rus
slams would go-to the Eastern
Adriatic or to the English Channel
depended on how much deter
mined opposition Moscow found in
the remaining great powers. Since
it found nothing but vocal resis-
tance-and that generally in whis-
pers-the Politbureau decided to
put into effect the total plan, rather
than the partial one for which they
had obtained the tacit consent OF
the United States and Great
Britain.
Not Impressed by Words
The enunciation of the Truman
doctrine on March IL made no diff
ference. It was not backed by the
one thing that gives the Russians
pause-the strong arm.
Immediately after the announce
ment of Americas new foreign pol
icy, Russian directed propaganda
throughout Europe emphasized that
Americans talk a great deal but do
not act. And the fact that this
country confined itself merely to
protesting and demanding explana-
tions of Soviet actions in Hungary,
tends to confirm the view that the
Russian propaganda was correct.
The same contention was made
by Hitler in 1888 and 1899. France
and Britain acted reluctantly only
after the German troops crossed the
Polish borders on September 1, 1889
The Russians do not need to cross
any borders. They are everywhere
in Eastern Europe. The puppet
governments were created in the
shadow of the bayonets of the Red
armies of occupation. And as far
as Italy is concerned, the war left
her defenseless against the we'll
disciplined internal forces organized
by Togliatti soon after his arrival in
Italy from Moscow in 1943. These
troops-assisted, If necessary, by
Yugoslav "tourists"-are sufficiently
strong and competent to help estab-
lish democratic italian republic
as soon as Moscow gives the word.

SO in 1941, is officially 152 on ra-
tion cards now, ''but actually can be
bought only on the black market
at prices which in recent months
have ranged from 800 to 1000 a
kilo, depending on quality" (Cig-
arettes, which before the war were
$50 Finn marks per package Of
20, now cost 50)
Cost of Living Sky High
One Finn told me: "Most people
have enough money to buy their
rations. But these are so small they
have to buy more food on the black
market to survive. That takes
money"
One of the Helsinki dailies, was
quoting black market prices the
other day. Milk was 80 to so Finn
marks liter, coffee 1000 to 1900
per kilo, sugar 750 to 800 per kilo,
mems suits $4,000 to 10000, nylons
1000 to 5000. Most of these prices,
however, are lower than they were
six months ago, the paper said.
The cost of living index went up
% points in April and now stands
at SAG against 100 for the base year
1885. Food is 665 on this index.
But" said my Finnish housewife
friend, food prices are much worse
even than they appear on this in
dex. For this index does not in
clude black market prices. It is
based on rationed things alone"
Eggs are sold by the kilo in Fin
land (about II or 18 eggs usually to
the kilo) at prices ranging from 300
to $40 Finn marks. Cucumbers cost
about 200 Finn marks a kilo.
Little War Damage
am impressed by the number
of modern buildings there are IN
this city of 100000, the generally
we'll dressed appearance of the peo-
pie, the beauty of the girls, the
large number of university students
in their white yachting" caps, the
good looking displays in the shop
windows of everything from fiow-
ers to Singer sewing machines, the
outdoor cafes, the banks, churches
and filling stations.
Helsinki also has a good looking
port whose bl1e water Of these days

have been impressed by the fact
that this beautiful city, with its row
after row of modernistic apartment
houses and Office buildings, almost
entirely built new in the brief three
decades since Finland won its in
dependence in 1918, shows so little
war damage. I inquired around and
found the reason why. Eighty per
cent of the bombs fell into the sea!
I asked whether this was deliber-
ately done by the Russians or bad
craftsmanship or what. Leftist
Firms dismissed them with the ex-
planation, "You can see how much
water there is around Helsinki. It's
hard to do mass destruction over
place located on the water, like
Helsinki, unless a thousand bombers
come over in one night. the way
Berlin used to catch it. And it

parade is led by the Finnish flag.
I asked one prominent Finn ::
what are Russia's intentions
toward Finland?" He shrugged.
Nobody knows. 1t may be that the
Russians want to have here gov
ernment they like"
"a Communist government"
Eyes, but that won't do. The ma
jority of Films would never stand
for it,"
The Finnish Communists want to
socialize all business enterprises
whose share capital is $4,000, 900
Finn marks or more (there are 1876
: marks to the dollar). This would
hit most of the companies in Fin
land.
Want to Socialize Business
However, as one Finn told me,
Were practically socialized al
ready by taxes" For example, the
Helsingin Sanomat, leading inde-
pendent daily with circulation Of
16O, 900, made 100000 Finn marks
profit last year. But it was able to
pay only 100000 marks dividends to
it's shareholders. Almost all the
rest went in taxes.
| I asked the Films If this was a
discriminatory tax. They said, mo,
it's just that the state needs so
much money now to pay the repair
ations bill" One of them added,
deadpan, "and to finance the infia-
ton"
There are probably not more than
half dozen millionaires in Finland
in the American sense, and no great
salaries. Not more than 100 persons
in the country have salary of a
million marks-not even the presi-
dent of the Bank of Finland. This
is only 1882. And the tax on this
salary runs to so per cent. On the
cost of living index, taxes in April
of 1947 were ITO compared to 100
in 1885.
The average Finn has had no
choice but to reduce his standard OF
living. Officially the Finn mark is
valued at about one-fifth what it
was before the war. Actually" one
executive told me, "it's about one
TENTH"
Finn Mark Way Down
A prominent authority on finance
described the imitation this way:
Bank deposits are up, but the pur-
chasing power of them is down
After the last war We stabilized our
currency at one-eieventh of its pre-
war value. Now the Finn mark is
almost down to one-tenth of its
1889 value. If we can stabilize at
ne-eleVenth, this time, we will be
very lucky"
| I asked him whether the aver
age Finnish family earned enough
to pay for it's essential food, hous-
ing and clothes or whether it had
to go short or dig into savings.
He said: 'The working class here
had relatively small savings and
didn't have capital assets or goods
it could change to money values.
So any working family which doesn't
have enough money simply has to
lower its standard Of living"
Many Firms escape high rent,
but all, without exception, have to
pay through the nose for food.
A Finnish housewife told me that
