t 2 The Statesman, Solom. Orogoa, Tu dorr- IY 1943 'Finns Retain Control; Reds Strike Snag j , By J. M. Roberts, Jr." r ., AP roxcica Affairs Analyst 9 Finland lias demonstrated again Vone'of the truisms that hat der veloped from Russia's postwar ef forts to subvert every country she . can reach. As long laa free peoples keep control of their election ma chinery," the . communists, can't win. '. ' In spite of all their appeals to class prejudice and their efforts to play upon economic unrest, red ' bayonets, not ballots, remain the " only reliable communist weapon. . Free Election Held :-'4 Finland has Just held 'an elec "jtion which was free ia every way except that no Finn cap entirely -forget the wishes of his great Rus sian neighbor, wishes which have : twice" been imposed at the point . of the bayonet within ten years. But all the parties had their free say durinjg ithe. campaign, I with., posters and open meetings. -The result was a great victory for the middle-of-the-road for those ; who would maintain Finland's in dependence, but who were care ful not to drive the minority com munists into desperate action. . Whether Russia will long tolerate 'such independence on her borders .-is a question which remains to y be answered. But for the time be ' ing the communist front is reduced to a third-rate place, dependent . on the sufferance of the majority 'parties for anyplace at all in the ; government. I r i Agrarians Add f f The Centrist Agarians added six seats to the $0 they already held in the 200-member parlia ment. The social j; democrats, ex ponents of western socialism, added, five to their previous 50. The popular democratic union (communist "front) lost 11 and dropped to 38, despite the fact the :' other major parties actually showed a desire to leave them a good representation rather than risk- Soviet-sponsored re prisals. The figures 'may nol be final, but the trend is definite. All parties were agreed, as President Paasikivi put it, 'Fin- land can never pursue a policy - directed against the ; Soviet Un as ion." The center and right -of- center parties believe in a well balanced distribution of power. get all that is coming to them in the way of cabinet representation for their 19 percent of the vote. But they will not get the in terior ministry, which controls the . police. Question Sparks Crisis The Finnish 'cabinet crisis of a i few weeks aao stemmed di rectly from this determination that "the communists -'should not turn the police lirrto a political weapon as they have In so many other countries,: Communist Min ister Leino was I ousted then to prevent his using the police In the election. . Finland already is on the Rus sian hook economically, through ' heavy reparations shipments. She ; Is not only under the guns of the " Soviet's home army, but also of Russian forces on former Finnish soil which the little country was forced to cede after the war. If -Russia decides to reach, Fin land could not put up anywhere near the fight she pxade in the winter war" of 1939-40. But, as long as she can keep her election machinery free she Insures one thing that If she Is conquered It jwill be through the application of direct pressure, and not by the Insidious infiltra tion to which so many European states have succumbed.

Time Element Determines Fiscal Year By Rowland Evans, Jr. WASHINGTON, July .5 -(JP Why does the government have to confuse thing by operating it$ books, on a "fiscal year starting July 1 when most other people d it the obvious, way, on a Jan 1 t Dec. 31 schedule? ! When you say you made $5,000 in 1947 you mean between Jan. I, 1947, and Dec. 31, 1947. Bui when the budget official of a govern ment agency goes to congress and says MWe spent $2,000,000,000 in 1947," he means between July 1, 1946 and June 30, 1947. It's con fusing but there's a reason for it. The law demands that the sec retary of the treasury report fO congress each year on' the finan cial state of the entire govern ment. This report is called the annual combined statement of re ceipts and expenditures. And each government agency is required to give congress an annual report of its own financial way of life. These reports are due on the first day of every regular session. That's Jan. 3, as established by the 20th con stitutional amendment. If the gov ernment kept its books on a cal endar year basis it would have just three days to get them in shape for. congress. It takes about six months to prepare the reports. Books are closed on June 30, and financial experts go to work to got their stuff in shape for the following January 3. Unused Churches Worry Britain as Probe Launched LONDON, July HP)-The great number of churches standing dusty and unused all over England is "scandalous," says the Bishop of Norwich, Dr. P. M. Herbert. At this instigation the assembly of; the Chjirch of England com prising lafty as well as church of ficialshas established an investi gating committee to see what can be done with them.' "The church is coming into dis repute because this problem' is not being tackled, the bishop told the assembly. "At present there ia no power by which a consecrated building cari be sold or leased.
