The Reds in Finland

BY paralyzing shipping and threatening
to stage a general strike, the Communists
in Finland have resorted to force and in
timidation in an effort to make sure that
the Ministry of the Interior-which con-
trolls the police-will not pass from their
hands.
The trouble has been precipitated by
President Juho Paasikivis action In firing
Yrjoe Leino as head of the ministry. Mr..
Leino, generally regarded as the country S
top Communist, had refused to resign from
office after having suffered vote OF no
confidence in Parliament. In effect, his
refusal amounted to defiance of the Fin
nish constitution, which makes resignation
mandatory whenever cabinet member
receives such vote
But though his dismissal thus was re-
quired by law and though an extreme left
winger has been named to replace him
temporarily, the Communists small MI
nority in Ffnland-apparently are deter
mined to have their own way, constitution
or no constitution. Accordingly. through
whatever unions they control, they can be
counted upon to raise as much trouble as
pUSSlOlc " lO1CC AACclSACAIt dooAhAFA CAoAASA
to reverse himself on Mr.. Leino or other
wise guarantee that they will continue to
control the interior ministry.
All this follows pattern that has long
since been made drearily familiar by the
Communist minority in every land behind
the iron curtain. AS far as Finland Is
concerned, it suggests that the Reds there
may be seeking to build up crisis to
hasten the day when conditions will be
ripe for them to try coup along the lines
of the recent one In Czechoslovakia. At
any rate, their instantaneous and threat
ening reaction to the Leino dismissal
speaks pretty much for itself. Quite obvi-
ously they do not want to lose their grip
on the police power, and that in itself
indicates that they have designs on what
little is left of Finnish freedom and inde-
pendence.
1t may be, of course. that the Paasikivi
government will be able to avert a crisis
and that the Communists will calm down
on the basis Of some compromise arrange
ment The long-range outlook for Fin
land however, is not hopeful. Unless and
until the Kremin suddenly gives concrete
evidence of abandoning its policy of direct
and indirect aggression, the Finnish people
will have abundant reason to suspect the
Reds among them of plotting to seize
power and hand over the country to
Moscow-if not now. then eventually.
1t is because of facts like this because
a country like Finland cannot be sure OF
its independence from one day to the next,
that the effort to build a decent and en-
during world society has been poisoned
and paralyzed. The situation cannot be
improved by mere propagandistic peace
bids from the Kremlin. The only thing
that will improve it is a new Soviet policy
q policy honestly dedicated to practicing
the principles OF the United Nations.

Alusku Is important

However futile 1t may be to hope Tor
passage at this session of Congress of
Alaskan statehood legislation, President
Truman was fully justified in calling for
congressional consideration Of the terri
torys special problems. For Alaska Is
important-more important than at any
time since outgrowing It's early nickname,
Stewards Folly.
Shelving last week of the proposal to
make Hawaii 4 State apparently sounds
the death knell for the parallel Alaska bill
until more propitious time from the con-
gressional standpoint. From other stand
points, however, there could scarcely be
a time more propitious for bringing Alaska
in the Union and for helping her to grow
strong. The Presidents message outlined
some of the ways, aside from granting
statehood, in which Congress could aid in
this development.
Although Mr.. Truman's reference to
the key military role assigned to Alaska
in the American defense program was
most discreet. our military planners have
made no secret of the fact that Alaska
has become a vital strategic outpost. 1t
Is a northern base which Is destined to
have major significance in any future war,
If, As the experts assert, the next war is
to be fought in the Arctic skies. Bases
already are under development In the
territory. but details of the program are
withheld for military reasons.
Ii Is evident that military as we'll as
economic activities in Alaska have been
hampered by the grossly inadequate trans
portation facilities That the President
should have devoted so much attention in
his message to deficiencies of the railroad,
highway and shipping systems is not sur
prising Alaska, with about one-fifth the
area of the whole United States. has less
rail or highway mileage than many of our
smaller States, Mr.. Truman pointed out.
The main freight link with the United
States is by sea and the link is not always
dependable. The war-born Alaskan high
way provides a tenuous land link. Air
service is expanding since the war, but
new airport facilities are needed.
Legislation to improve these transporta-
ton services is pending in Congress. The
Presidents message contains cogent argu
ments for prompt enactment Of these
measures and for additional steps to en-
courage construction of housing, to settle
natives land claims and to promote coloni-
zation of undeveloped land. Even If
session, Congress should take the time to
see that our Northwest bulwark Is freed
from present restraints on further progress

RITA HAYW0RTH AT. CAPITOL THEATRE,
 ! SHOWS TONIGHT.

One of the most intriguing mys- teries of the current cinema season, the exact nature of Rita Hayworths role in Down to Earth" Columbias S big new Technicolor musical, is now a delightful open book to the fans who have seen her at the Capitol Theatre, final showings to be given two times tonight You will see her in an enchanting, wonder-filled mus ical spectacle, dancing, singing and displaying glamor
 The films cast makes most of the happy blending of music and com- edy. Larry Parks shares top honors with Miss Hayworth, and the young ster who shot to fame in ''The Jol- son Story" gives every indication that he means to stay at the top. As Rita's dancing partner, Marc Platt is a brilliant study in rhythm. And there are other players who stand out-the distinguished British actor, Roland Culver; in comedy roles, and making the most of them, James Gleason and Edward Everett Horton; for extra glamor, lovely Adele Jer- gems; for big-time villainies George Macready.

The 1errlIorIaI Department of Health is issuing an education ser vice on dental health as pertaining to children. Printed here is one of the latest bulletins.
 A careful motorist will always make certain his car is in tip-top shape for it's road trips. He will have it thoroughly checked for defects and have corrections or repairs made to meet the needs of rigorous travel.
 A responsible parent should be even more considerate of the well fare. of a child facing the most diff cult journey down life's highway. To succeed in life, one needs stamina, a sound mind in a sound body good health--and sympathetic un- 0erstanding.
 Proper care of the mouth is an important factcr in every health program. Tn disease, the mouth can play an outstanding part since it is vitally connected with other parts of the body. The commonest known human disease of both children and adults is decay of the teeth and in- lection of the gums.
 We penalize our children and our- selves when we neglect the teeth, for the presence of disasd croockd teeth may affect every part of the body seriously, even critically impairing the health. The mouth and teeth give form to the face and have an important part in general facial ef- feet, by which one is appraised and even identified. Good breeding, proper rearing and exemplary char acter are reflected by dental condi- tions We are attractive or not as we smile or laugh.
 Start teaching the child the care of his mouth and teeth at the age of 3. Use intelligent care in selecting his diet; give him what he should have, not what he thinks he should have. Take the child to the dentist when he is 215 years old for an oral
