For Finland
At the request of Former Gov.
Ehringhaus, I have accepted the
chairmanship of Polk county in
connection with the campaign to
raise money for the Finnish Relief
Fund. Governor Ehringhaus is
state chairman for North Caro
lina in the carrying on of this
meritorious undertaking, while
Former President Herbert Hoover
is national chairman. I feel sure
that the good people of our coun
ty, who have watched with un
bounded admiration the heroic
struggle of the Finnish people to
protect their homeland from de
struction at the hands of a brutal
and conscienceless aggressor, will
give willingly and gladly, accord
ing to their means, in order to
take part in this great movement
which has as its object the sending
of food and clothing to the desti
tute people of this brave little
nation. For the past sixtv days
Finland has been the victim of
an unprovoked attack by the brutal
Russian colossus, and for sixty
days the Finns, fighting against
almost insuperable odds, have
hurled back each attemDted ad
vance of the invader. However,
the resources of this little country
are very limited, and without the
moral and material support of the
liberty loving people of the world,
the unequal battle cannot continue
for long. For reasons which affect
the whole future of human liberty,
America must not join in this
European war. But the American
people can give their help to the
dest'tute. It can lighten their
burdens as they travel the road
of despair.
