Firms See Russians
Timing Charges 10
Influence Election
By the Assoeiofsd Press

HELSINKI, Finland, Jan. s.
Finnish political circles. today
viewed Russia's grave charges of
peace treaty violations as timed
to bolster Finnish Communists In
the coming presidential election.
The Soviet New Years Day
charges that Finland is harboring
more than 800 Soviet war GRIM
inals was the most serious warn
ing this tiny Baltic country has
received from it's huge neighbor
since the end of the war.
Russia has accused Finland of
violating its 1914 peace treaty by
furnishing war criminals with
false documents and names. The
strongly-worded note from Mos
cow said Sc of the alleged war
criminals were known by the Fin
nish government.
Denial Of Charge Expected.
The Social Democrat govern
ment of Premier Karl Fagerholm
has turned the Soviet note over to
a special committee for study. It
+ is believed the government will
deny the charges.
Russia's transmission Of the
charges through diplomatic chan
nels rather than through it's press,
as is its customary procedure,
added Importance to the note. It
added to the conviction here that
the Russians deliberately issued
the accusation to coincide with
current preparations for the elec-
tions.
Finnish President JUNO K.
Paasikivi took ofIice March ii,
1916. and his term expires In
March this year. Electors are to
be chosen January 16 and II and
the election is scheduled Febru-
ary Is. Most sources believe that
78-year-old President Paasikivi
will be reelected.
In London it was felt that Mos
cow might be preparing to give
Finland full treatment" designed
for those Soviet neighbors who
do not subscribe to the Kremlin
line. British observers thought
Russia was indicating its dis
pleasure at anti-Communist po-
litical developments under the
present government.
Study Of Record Made.
Meanwhile. a study Of the rec
ords Of previous postwar govern
ments is being made by the Gov
eminent Committee. It was re-
called that military authorities
had supplied some Russian de-
serters with fake documents i'm
mediately after the 1914 Soviet
Finnish War and tried to help
them out Of the country. The
fate of these deserters is not gen.
orally known now. It is believed
this government will base its de-
nial of the Soviet charges on the
fact that it was not in power
when this occurred.
Further indication that the So
Wet note was part Of a pre-elec-
ton campaign was the report
that the Russian Minister to Fin
land, Grigory Savonenkov, is ex-
pected back from Moscow after q
long absence.

Royal Romance May Sway

LONDON. Jan. 8 (R.-Informed

hand Of the powerful Wafdist
Party and the extremist Moslem
Brotherhood, who oppose some OF

Lord Beaverbrook's pro-empire
Sunday Express had this to say:
"Farouk cannot afford to court
further unpopulartiy. A surge of
popular feeling against the King
could swing the elections and
touch of the revolution that has
been boiling for over a year."
Farouk and the Saadist majority
In the present Chamber already
share the responsibility for Egypt's
failure to crush the new Jewish
state of Israel In the 1948 Pales-
tine War. Egypt's unsuccessful
military campaign has been blow
