Do today's duty, fiht today's temptation, and do not weaken and distract yourself by looking forward to things you cannot see. and could not understand if you saw them. Charles Kingsley. And Now, Finland Xl- are learning a lot about the coraphy of Europe during these tragic days. Anxious and heartsick, we look for Finland on our war maps as the radio and press bring us news of another unprovoked attack by a great predatory power upon . a resisting little country. As part of the Scandinavian peninsula. Fin land's eastern boundary is Russia, .with Only the narrow waters of the Gulf of Finland on the south defending her southern boundaries where Russia covets her open ports and island fortifications. Dangerous proximity indeed, as the Russian bear reaches out to seize that. which Finland refuses to surrender and dares to defend. For centuries Finland was a part of Sweden, occupying the position of a buffer state between Russia and Sweden. Then, for more than a hun dred vears as a duchy of imperial Russia. Finland was one of those . minority racial groups . that emerged as an independent nation after 'the World War. Yesterday, on December 6, this young nation came of age. But this twenty-first birthday was celebrated with a different kind of fireworks and parading than in the oher years while growing up. : : A wave of indignation and horror even great er than that caused by the destruction of Poland has swept the civilized nation's, as protests and denunciations have gone forth from this and other governments. Perhaps most of us have had a limited knowl edge of this little land lying partly in the frozen north of Europe's Arctic circle, but one thing we all, know; that Finland, of all the nations engaged in the World War, is . the only one that has met her debt payments to the United States when, they fell due. In spite of her present plight, the State Department has received notice that the payment due December 15 will be met. President Roosevelt has expressed the sentiment of many in his declaration that he will request Congress to set aside this money for aid of. the Finnish people. On all sides there is public expression of the hope that more substantial aid in war necessities will be extended this gallant people in their sore need. The fact that this is not a declared war may exempt Finland from the provisions of the neu trality act, it has been pointed out. The -Finns are a people inured to hardship, of sturdy character and high intelligence. Their ac complishment in building their nation and demo cratic form of government, as well as way of life, over the short period of a decade, has been un paralleled in the history of any people. Finland's resources are limited, her wealth being chiefly in her forests and water power. The population have made up in thrift and business acumen what they have lacked of nature's gifts, and have built up a balanced economy upon these assets. The paper upon which these words, are printed is newsprint imported from Finland. When this supply is exhausted the newspapers of the United States will have to pay a higher m price for their newsprint. As the capital city of Helsinki with many build ings of surpassing beauty of architecture and mod ern in every way, is threatened with destruction, we remember that here, in the great new stadium, athletes and fans from all over the" world were to have gathered for the Olympic games in 1941. In stead, many of the flower of youth of Finland noted for their physical prowess-Mvill have per ished. Will the neighboring nations, menaced by this new terror, bring effective help in time to stop Stalin's outnumbering horde's? Or will the red revolution sweep on? . An American correspondent in Finland reported last week seeing a stone memorial on the Russian border to 200 Finnish peasants who repulsed a thnncann Russian trooos in 1555. This shrine is. today inspiring Finland's defenders who believe that their nation cannot die. r Number V) Just in Case I5C0AS PI The United States coast guard at Miami, Fla., takes no chances. When foreign submarines were re ported to have been sighted in Florida waters, coa,st gutrd officials painted a large American flag on the underside of the wing for identifica tion purposes.

" Clippings (From The Charlotte' Obr.erver) THE GOVERNOR'S RACE Lieutenant-Governor W. P. Hor ton i-. .formally running f.r the Governorship now. lie has made statement to this effect to the peoile. of the State, but the full liiiec and effect of the announce ment, is broken lccaue of the gen eral mule.i standing of his intentions m this regard. He, like ball", dozen or more of other potential candidates,, with held his official u nice at the re epiest some weeks .ago of Gover nor II iey. t" the entire covey of would-be- not to be in too much oi a hurry about getting out. Mr. Iloi'toii will.be a formidable candidate. At tin- -tage, this i all that can be safely and a--umlly remarked in the form 'of a predictifn. It .seems to have gotten out that Mr. J. M. Br.oughion, of Kaleivh, i- at this nioiuint in'lhe lead in popular, favor an.. I will likely be the man for the 'succc-sUil .candidate to de feat.. The ' field will po--ibly tunc as many a- six candidate-' from wlio-ui to choose, unless .several of'tlr..-e who have the notion at tin- time, pcr-uad.e theiuseke-, or will be persuaded by their friends late;', not to make the race. In addition to' those ih.,- have been virtually ' a--ured of running tor. this office., two others have more lately been projected into the possibilities ,y their friends. 'One of them is' Mr. Clarence Poe. of Kalejgh, wh.v will have the farm .vote in hi.- pocket -hould he deci le to enter. ' ' . Another i- 1 1. E. .Stacy, of Ltiiu.berton, one of the strongest men who have been mentioned a-po-sibilities. 'Che . -eh .-ol people would like for Mr. Stacy to. an nounce. All in all, therefore, the situation is thoroughly complicated because of the large number of possible entries. I'sually, when the race is to be between no more than three men. as ha- often happened, one could get a reasonably fair idea of. t In direction in which public ,-entiment is swinging even thus early. But not so. now. Truth is very few people seem interested at all in the Governor's race so far.
