HELSINKI (UPI)-An Ameri
can visitor looked across the
veranda where he was having
lunch with a Finnish friend on
a warm summer day toward
the forested area of Forkkala,
then a Soviet naval base.
"Just think," he remarked,
"here we sit having lunch while
just over there are the Itus'
sians."
"What do you expect us to
do," retorted his host, "go
without lunch because the Rus
sians are only a mile away?"
No Novelty
Russians aren't the novelty
they once were to much of the
non-Communist world but the
Finnish attitude toward them
still holds. Being neighbors of
the Russians is one of the fun
damental acts of life for a Finn.
If ever a policy of "Love Thy
Neighbor" made sense in this
world, it is here in Finland. This
is not to say that the Finns live
in a state of political servitude.
They don't.
- Like Each Other
The Finns do well enough by
the Rusisans, and the Russians
seem to have a genuine liking
for the Finns. The Soviet Union
last year supplied Finland with
14 per cent of her imports and
looK about 17 per cent of Fin
land's exports. Only Britain
buys more from the Finns than
the Russians do.
Member of EFTA
Finland has been allowed to
lease, for 50 years, the lost half
of the border crossing Saimaa
canal that drains the Saimaa
Lake area of southeast Finland.
Once it was an important wat

the sea. Now, Finnish industri
alists are not so sure. But as

Russia and China Join Battle
To Determine Kashmir's Role
By S. G. ROY
United Press International
NEW DELHI, India (UPI) -
India and Pakistan have been
quarreling over Kashmir for 15
years, but now the argument
has been taken up by Russia
and Communist China.
The political football some-
limes takes a strange bounce,
and this is one of those times.
Russia has lately been express
ing its support for India in the
smouldering dispute over Kash
mir and at the same time the
Chinese have been making
friends with Pakistan.
Russia twice last month said
it would continue to consider
Kashmir as an integral p a r t of
India. Russian Premier Nikita
Khrushchev gave this assurance
to Indian Ambassador T. N.
Kaul during a private dinner in
Moscow.
In New York, the leader of
the Soviet delegation to the
United Nations General Assem
bly, Andre Gromyko, repeated
it to his Indian counterpart, Mrs.
Vijayalakshmi Pandit.
Russia said it would veto any
resolution at the security coun
cil on Kashmir which is not fa
vored by India. The Soviet at
titude, however, holds a more
significant implication: Russia
does not recognize as legal the
recently concluded agreement
between Pakistan and China
which demarcated the bound
ary between old Kashmir slate
territory, now under the control
of Pakistan, popularly describ
ed as 'Azad Kashmir,' and Sin-
kiang
India comenns me uui u c ' ! china was not then in the pic

The Chinese reply is that thc;

BENEFIT
TO HELP FINANCE
thai the Russians would have
the same trading privileges in
Finland as would the EFTA
members.
"We have noted here in Fin
land," President Urho Kekko
nen recently told United Press
subject to renegotiation after
the status of Kashmir has been
finally settled.
But even during the hey-day
of "Hindi-Chini Bhai Bhai," Pe
king never publicly supported
India's case in Kashmir.
In 1955, Khrushchev declared
that Russia considered Kashmir
as an integral part of India. He
had in mind only Pakistan's
control of Azad Kashmir. He re
jected Pakistan claims on any
part of Kashmir, and this was
later reaffirmed by the Soviet
delegate at the security council.
The Chinese entry into the Ak
sai Chin area of Ladakh was
not known then. Now the R e d
Chinese occupy 14,000 square
miles of Ladakh.
Russia has not said so but In
dian observers take it for grant
ed that Russia recognizes the
official map of India as setting
out the limits of this country.
The map shows the whole of
Kashmir, including Azad Kash
mir and Aksai Chin, as Indian
territory. If that is the case,
then Russia believes Pakistan
illegally occupies a part of
Kashmir along with China. Rus
sia, therefore, considers China
to be an aggressor in Ladakh.
Thus there is a new element
in the three -power dispute in
volving Kashmir, and Indians
recall Khrushchev's declaration
at Srinagar in 1955 that "we are
so close to you that if you should
call we will hear you and come
to your help."
At that time, the Soviet Pre
mier was allaying India's appre
hensions, over Pakistan designs

Oregon Supreme
Court Decisions
SALEM (UPI) The Oregon
Supreme Court today, in a 4-3
decision, ruled the state could
not recover statutory penalties
from the Portland Traction
Company resulting from i t s
abandonment of passenger serv
ice. The high court upheld a rul
ing by Multnomah County Cir
cuit Judge Herbert M. Schwab.
Previously the Supreme Court
had held that orders of the pub
lic utility commissioner denying
the company the right t o
abandon passenger service were
unconstitutional.
The state claimed it was en
titled to recover penalties be
tween the date of abandonment
of service, and the date t h e
PIT order was declared invalid.
The majority opinion was
written by Justice George Ross
man. Justice Kenneth OTonnell's
dissent was joined by Justices
Gordon Sloan and A r n o
Denecke. They argued that the
PIT order, even if confiscatory,
was enforceable until properly
stayed.
The high court upheld a Ma
rion County Circuit Court ruling
by Judge George Jones clearing
title to an estate left to the
trustees of the Presbytery of
Willamette for the maintenance
and upkeep of the Pleasant
''rove Presbyterian Church.

International, "that the better
our relations with the U.S.S.R.,
the better our relations remain
with all other countries."
Relations Are Cordial
President Kekkonen has made
it his business to see that rela-
ments, but he will refuse to
make any further concessions
because of the pressure exert
ed on him by interested powers.
It was once believed that Neh
ru was not opposed to conced
ing portions of the Aksai Chin
area to China in lieu of the
latter's recognition of the inter
national boundary marked by
the McMahon line in that area.
That may be the ultimate sit
uation one day, but it is quite
possible, too, that Nehru is hope
ful he will recover the lost terri
tories in Ladakh if the Sino-So-viet
conflict again becomes a hot
war and results in the over
throw of present recalcitrant
leaders of the Communist party
of China.
In any case he does not lose
anything if, with the backing of
the Soviet Union on Kashmir, he
awaits the outcome of the con
troversy between Russia and j
China.
Many Indians wish that Tibet:
once again would become inde-
pendent. Only then will the ter
ritorial integrity of India against
the designs of a strong China
be ensured.
They hope that internal pres
sures and external events will
enable the people of China to 1
shake off their present regime.
I hat would be the time for the
Tibetans to assert their rights.
Many Indians think that the So
vie support on Kashmir points
to that direction.
Whether Nehru also shares
this opinion, it is difficult to
say. But his inclination to mark
time before reaching a settle
ment with China on the border
question indicates that he h a s
not accepted the continuity of
the present Chinese leadership
or government.
At (he same time, in the opin
ion of observers, Soviet sup
port of India will act as a dc
terrant to Pakistan from join
ing with China in an adventure
against India.
Also affirmed was a decision
Evergreen Timber Company,
Inc., clear title to land, and
declaring a tax foreclosure void.
The company had ques
tioned the validity of the sale
of property on foreclosure for
delinquent taxes by Clackamas
County.
In another action, the high
court reversed in part and af
firmed in part a decision i n
Yamhill County Circuit Court in
action against Otto Hcider of
Sheridan for malicious prosecu
tion and two charges of con
version. A Jo6.000 judgment for
Paul W. Gowin was reversed
and remanded for a new trial,
but judgments obtained by Go
win of $2,000 and $7,000 respec
tively, on the conversion
charges, were upheld.

Finland today has a fairly
healthy economy, paper and
pulp sales have been weak for
the past year, with increased
North American supplies on the
market. The cost-of-living index
has gone up about six per cent
in the past year. Free-spending
Finns, still riding on the crest
of the 1958-59 recovery, are im
porting more than they sell.
Last year imports exceeded ex
ports by about 130 mililon
dollars.
Change Noted
The past six years have seen
a remarkable change in Fin
land's appearance. Where once
stores stocked pressure cookers
from Israel, washing machines
from Norway, and other prod
ucts of bilateral trading, shops
now stock the same broad multi-nations
lines as do stores else
where in Europe. Finland has
eliminated quota systems on
practically all imports except
autos, and importers may buy
where they wish.

Housing is going up on every
vacant lot. For Helsinki is still
growing, and there is no let up
in the pressure for more and
better homes. The crying need

Finland is creeping out of the
shell that it developed for self
protection after World War II.
President Kekkonen has visited
a dozen countries during his
seven years of office, most of
these during the last three
years During the past year he
has visited the Soviet Union,
France, Yugoslavia and Hun
gary. Finland is a member in very
good standing in the United Na
tions, although she seldom
votes on highly controversial
issues. She works well with the
other members of the Nordic
council, which is still her main
doorway on Western Europe.
She has affiliated with EFTA
and will have to make her
peace with the common market
when the time comes.
Relatively Unknown Country
Finland is still relatively un
known in the outside world.
"Brave Little Finland" is a
name that means something to
an older generation, and in the
United States, Finland is still
known mainly as the debt-paying
country of the Sauna.

But geography has placed
Finland outside the main
stream of things, and no one
comes to Finland unless he or
she wants to come to Finland,
or is on the way to the Soviet
Union. This year's tourist tra
vel, for all that it is growing in
a big way, will probably not add
up to more than 600,000 visitors,
most of these from neighboring
Sweden.
For Finland appeals only to
a certain type of tourist, the
vfs:'or who wants to get out on
the water in a sailboat, go fish
ing in a river or lake, or drive
through mile after mile of forest-covered
country. This is an
outdoor country, and despite
the carefully guarded traditions
of a few restaurants, Finland is
not a country of good food and
wine.
