Dams upon lower Souris River Saskatchewan havoc feared unless finns get planes by Leland Stowe Helsin fors Jan. 15. Special can bombing of cities in Finland is becoming extremely systematic and effective. This is due to the fact that Moscow s air pirates know that the finns possess no Pur suit squadrons for effective Protection and defence so the red bombers can Fly with impunity. The finns have wiped out three army divisions and have shown their capacity to fight the russians to a standstill but it is still not enough. When the Clear Days of March come every Parade of the red bombers will be entire and terrible chaos. Day and night the finns ask themselves shall we have any planes to fight the answer must be known before april. For unless the finns have planes with which to resist the rus Sian air fleets when Spring comes then the fight for finnish democracy will soon be Over. In sober realism such a possibility must be faced and is being faced by this country s leaders. What is tantalizing to them is the fact that Finland has scores of splendid pilots but has no planes for them to Fly. Even More so is the fact that a great part of the red raiders could be driven off if even 100 Pursuit planes or fighters were available to Finland. Experts in Sist that 100 or 200 Pursuit planes would quickly take a tremendous toll from the red bombers Here and would strike terror into the entire soviet air Force. By that Small margin the Fate of All Scandinavia before the menacing tide of bolshevism would probably be the finns get air planes and if they do not come too late.

An agreement Between do minion and the Ontario govern ments As to the share which Power will Bear of the total Canadian costs is nearly agreement will costs perhaps below the figure in the 1932 agreement be tween these two. Negotiations with Quebec regarding the All Canadian sections of the Seaway in that pro begin probably this negotiations with Vince Are to week. The Tler Washington Are Well in hand. There Are however a few major difficulties in the Way of Success. Apparently All parties to the treaty insist upon having at least As Good a Deal As in 1932 and if possible a better one. Ontario is obtaining a distinctly belter one. But the Dominion it is Learned has no intention of asking Parlia ment to approve a treaty which will Call for higher expenditures than the treaty of 1932. Quebec desires just As favourable a Power Ideal with Ottawa As Ontario is seeking. The state of new York insists that Power costs be lowered to this state at least As much As they May be lowered to Ontario and the Washington government is insisting like Ottawa that the final treaty is it is to stand a Chance of Suc Cess Musi not Call for higher expenditures than the treaty of 1932.
