RUSSIA PURSUES ANCIENT
AIMS
There is more trouble ahead for
Scandinavia if reports about Russia
are correct.
First, there is Moscow’s ban on
the defense agreement between
Norway, Sweden and Finland; then
there is the report that Russia will
take more of Finland than the
Finns expected and the latest is that
the Reds will demand free trade
ports in Sweden and Norway.
Russia, with one-sixth of the
world’s land and a fast-growing pop
ulation that approaches 200,000,000
-people, needs no additional territory
or population. It is plain that the
Soviet is taking advantage of the
disorganized condition of the world
to take what she thinks she might
require.
Russia, according to one obsei’ver,
wants a port on the Atlantic to
avert German domination via the
Baltic. She wants land in the south
east to reach the Mediterranean.
These are old dreams for the Rus-
fiians in the days of the Czars and
the Bolshevics follow the beaten
path of what they call imperial ag
gression.

BRITISH ARMY GROWING
An important, but sometimes ov
erlooked, factor in the European
situation is the steadily gi-owing ar
my of Great Britain.
When the w^ar began the British
army was not very large.. Age
groups up to 28 years will be com
pletely mobilized by this summer
and supplies are being delivered- in
jsnfficient quantity to keep up ^ith
the expanding army.
Mr. Leslie Burgin, •Minister of
Supply is spending nearly $8,000,-
t)00 a day for arms, equipment, sup
plies and necessai-y raw materials.
Ordnance factories are being trebled
Production of army vehicles has
been multiplied fifteen times and
100,000 armored vehicles will be in
service by the end of the year.
Along with this prodigious expan
sion of the army the British are
slowly increasing their air force,
building merchrait ships and naval
vessels. Not until the end of 1940, it
is believed, will maximum produc
tion be attained. By that time the
British army will be a factor of
great strength in the military situa
tion.
