MOURNING FINLAND {Continued from page one) From Helsinki, Foreign Min ister Tanner declared that peace was made without consent of the army command, but not un v til the government had been ad vised as to the “position on the front.” Tanner said Finland’s defense foundered because of the unwillingness of Sweden and Norway to send troops, or to permit troops to cross their * soil. “All that can be said against us,” said Tanner sadly, “is that as a nation we are too small.” From the war front there was news of Field Marshal Baron Gustaf Mannerheim’s final or der to his troops, in which he declared that 200,000 Russians , and 16,000 Finns had died in the war. “Our fate is hard,” declared the Field Marshal, “now that we have to give up to an alien race, a race with a life phil osophy and moral values dif ferent from ours—this ground which for centuries we have cultivated with labor and. sweat. “We have paid our debts to -'the Hast penny to the West. We are proudly conscious of the historic duties which we will continue to fulfill; defense of that western civilization which has \been our heritage for cen '*$$Eries.>> There was bitter fighting un til the very minute the armis tice ended the war. In London, David Lloyd GeoTge, the World war Prime Minister declared in Parlia ment: “In my heart I am glad of the news, but it is the old trou pe—too late. Too late for Czechoslovakia. Too late for Poland. Certainly too late for Finland. It is always too late, ox too little, or both. That is the road to disaster.” In Berlin, official sources | Learned with satisfaction over the settleihent of the Russian Finnish war. They declared the terms were “in just proportion to the Sacrifices made, in just [proportion to the needs and necessities which certain states In large living spaces have a ’right to claim. “The Finns,” declared a Ger man official, “proved more sen sible than the Poles.” .Advertise in The Outlook “PENCIL KING” IS FOUR SCORE AND ONE TODAY MR.

Spain, assistant reve nue commissioner of North Car olina, gave Kiwanians, attend ing their weekly luncheon meet ing in the Southern Pines Coun try Club yesterday noon, an ear ful of facts concerning taxes, the bugaboo of numerous North Carolinians. Presenting himself as a talk er, not a speaker or orator, Mr. Spain took time out on several occasions to shower words of commendation on the staff of workers employed in the Reve nue department responsible for making this division of the State’s activities one of the best in the country, and who, as “brothers of the flesh,” were carrying out the tax laws to the best of their ability. Using figures as a word pic ture, he pointed out that during the fiscal year 1937-1938 the combined income of the General and Highway funds amounted to $69,586,015, with an operat ing expenditure of $1,755,910, or 2.52 percentage. During the 1938-1939 period there was a comparable income of $67,788. 655 and an operating expendi ture of $1,435,330, a 2.12 per centage. During both periods education was responsible for the largest outlay of funds, with 70 percent being used for this purpose dur ing the last fiscal year. Debt service was next with 11.1 per cent, State aid 5.6 percent, and administrative 5.4 percent. Char itable and correctional institu tions received 4.8 percent, judi cial 1.3 percent, pensions 1.2 percent and legal .6 percent. He also informed the Kiwan ians that a total of 726 persons are employed in the operation of the Revenue department, which is divided into five divi sions, revenue, motor vehicle, highway service, highway patrol and gas and oil inspections. Mail handled on the peak day amounted to 19,746 pieces, with an income of $7,565,140. Mr. Spain closed his interest ing talk by inviting his listen ers, collectively or individually, to visit the offices of the Reve nue department in Raleigh, for an inspection of the entire op eration of what he referred to as “your department of reve nue.” Walter. Lee Horton, chief of the addressograph division of the department, accompanied Mr. Spain on his visit, and after being “sold” as an entertainer by Mr. Spain in his introduc tion, Mr. Horton proceeded to “sell” himself.
