Russo-Finnish Rad
Deals Another Blow
To Allied Prestige
Hits at French and British
Attempts to Inspire
Confidence of Neutrals
By PERTINAX.
PARIS, March 14 (N.A.NA.).—
The Russo-Finnish peace treaty has
put an end to the critical and pain
ful deliberation of the Finnish cab
inet ministers which opened March
1, when* the French representative
in Helsinki made it known to them
that a Fra neo-British expeditionary
force would be sent to Finland’s
rescue, notwithstanding all the ob
jections Sweden and Norway might
raise, as soon as their official request
for assistance had been wired to
Paris and London.
On March 1, Indications were
given to Foreign Minister Tanner
by the French representative about
the effective strength of that ex
peditionary force, and these were in
keeping with the figures that Pre
mier Daladier gave the French
Chamber of Deputies Tuesday.
Last week a more energetic French
minister, Vaux St. Cyr, was sent to
Helsinki and it became known in
both the western capitals that the
step taken March 1 had spread
alarm in Stockholm, Berlin and
Moscow, which began to make
frantic efforts to deter Premier
Risto Ryti and his collegues from
appealing to the western powers.
Premiers Daladier and Chamberlain
then decided to enlarge the original
offer. The Helsinki cabinet was
acquainted at once with that de
velopment. Hence the expression
used by the British Premier, that
France and England would inter
vene with all the resources at their
disposal, if Finland so requested.
Uncertain of Purposes.
Why did the Finnish ministers
prefer to come to terms with Soviet
Russia in the face of doubts- that
they surely entertained about the
permanence of Russia's pledges?
The answer is not only that they
had to put up with Swedish exhorta
tion and German threats, but that
in addition Stalin and his advisers
were shrewd enough to lessen their
conditions of peace. The Finns did
not feel certain that the western
! powers would not be inclined to
pay greater heed to cutting off from
Germany the iron ore deposits in
Northern Sweden, and warding off
the German-Russian inland ad
vance toward the Norwegian coast
line, than to throwing on the Russo
Finnish front as many troops and
as much war materiel as possible.
The Finnish ministers would have
had to submit to the general purpose
and strategy of the Franco-British
alliance and they did not relish the
prospect that their own considera
tions might be made to depend upon
the superior requirements of the war
to be waged on Germany. They
were not prepared to think in terms
of collective security. The future
will prove whether their calculations
were right or wrong.
Firm Stand Called For.
On the German side, there is a
tendency to speculate wildly upon
the psychological repercussions of
Finland's surrender in France, Eng
land and the United States. Indi
cations are not lacking that, unless
Sumner Welles takes a Arm stand
when he again meets Mussolini, an
attempt will be made to entangle
ihe Washington Government in a
peace offensive. Therefore, it is of
capital interest to ascertain accur
ately the kind of damage Inflicted
by the Russo-Finnish treaty upon
the Western powers and the cause
for which they stand.
The independence of another small
nation goes under. It would be use
less to deny that, on that account,
a blow is being struck at confidence
in the Franco-British endeavor to
inspire the neutral powers whenever
they remind them that the fate of
national and civic freedom is bound
up throughout Europe with their
own fate.
nut it must be emphasized, on the
other hand, that the material loss
entailed by Finland's subjection to
Soviet Russia does not amount to
much. From 1808 until 1918, Fin
land was only Russia's vassal and it
cannot be overlooked that geograph
ical and historical influences hardly
allowed the existence of a different
state of affairs. When Marshal
Bernadotte (a marshal of France
who became King of Sweden as
Charles XIV in 1818) was chosen
crown prince of Sweden, he strongly
refused to act on the idea Jhat Fin
land lost a few years before by
Sweden, could be won back, and he
shaped his foreign policy accord
ingly.
Possibility of Material Loss.
Material loss would truly begin for
France and Britain once they drew
from the Russian-Finnish treaty the
consequences that henceforward
they would no longer be in a position
to interfere wih Germany’s iron ore
supply in Northern Sweden and
would have to protect the land as
well as sea approaches to the Nor
wegian coast.
A fortnight ago the British cabinet
resolved to postpone action regard
ing control of Norway’s territorial
waters, to be wielded as a conse
quence of the Altmark incident, be
cause it was afraid that this would
clash with the scheme of assistance
to Finland and make it still more
difficult to be enforced. Let us hope
that the whole problem will be re
considered in the light of today’s
circumstances.
Missing Persons Record Set

year, Lt. Horace Llneburg of the
police public relations squad re

Test of "Most Deadly Bomb'
Planned by Congress Leaders
Test of a bomb described as the
most deadly ever known was plan*
ned today by congressional leaders,
after the Senate Military Affairs
Committee yesterday dramatically
ordered burned the stenographic
notes recording a description of the
lethal weapon by itwinventor, Lester
P. Barlow of Baltimore.
The committee, which heard the
Inventor in executive session, de
cided to destroy his testimony to
forestall the possibility that his
formula might fall into the hands
of a foreign power.
The committee then invited Mr.
Barlow to appear at a session of the
Senate and House Military and
Naval Affairs Committees Monday.
The Secretaries of War and Navy
were Invited to attend the meeting.
It is expected that lix. Barlow will
be asked to make a secret test of
the bomb before Army and Navy
offlcials.
Mr. Barlow indicated to the com
mittee yesterday that he believed a
bomb of similar type was the “secret
weapon” with which Hitler threat
ened the allies at the outset of the
war.
The inventor described it as a
composition of liquid oxygen and
carbon. So terrible is its destruction
power, the committee was told, that
it destroys everything within a wide
radius without ever striking the
ground.
The trouble thus far, Mr. Barlow
said, has been to make the bomb
safe to carry in planes, but he de
clared he had solved that problem,
although he had been unable to in
terest Army and Navy officials in it.
An oxygen-carbon bomb first was
used by the Germans in the bom
bardment of Barcelona during the
Spanish civil war, Mr. Barlow said.
One such bomb, which exploded over
an apartment house, killed hun
dreds and leveled the building with
out ever striking It directly. He ex
pressed doubt, however, that the
Germans had been able to make
these bombs safe to transport.
The bomb was described as an
“aerial mine." Mr. Barlow said the
detonation could be controlled.
Will Speak in French
Jacques de Thier, first secretary
of the Belgian Embassy, will speak
in French before the Sooicte Jean
Labat of Georgetown University at
t o’clock tonight in the Copley
Lounge. He will discuss the diffi
culties of Belgian's position as a
neutral.
