| Tape Acting On
Threat to Finns
"President’s Personal
Note Believed More

By RAYMOND CLAPPER
Scripps-Howard Writer.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.- As
More Texas Colleges Anyone
Vice President Garner is supposed
to have said during the recent
“unity” conference at the White
House, in international matters
the country must trust to a large
extent in the wisdom and discre-
tion of the President.
A case in point is the President's
handling of the critical situation
between Russia and Finland. He
could scarcely have escaped taking
some action. Scandinavian coun-
tries joined Finland, in asking Mr.
Roosevelt to put in a word with
Moscow. That was a request he
could ill refuse, particularly since
Finland alone still makes her war
debt payments on the line twice a
year. Mr. Roosevelt decided to
act. But what form should his ac.
tion take?

Diplomacy is a business in which,
every little movement has a mean-

trick language and a line of eti-

Mr. Roosevelt could have had Sec-
retary of State Hull send a note to
the Soviet foreign minister. A note
in diplomacy is an official docu-
ment, which may be mild or rough,
but always is coldly formal.

the flourish, “accept, excellency,

U sparing care we’re spending to make
this 1940 Buick the best car we’ve ever built.
Take the springs—not simply the great soft-
action spirals that cushion the car, but even
the valve springs.
After they’re shaped and tempered and
finished there’s likely to be here and there
a tiny scratch on the surface of the steel.
Such a scratch conceivably might start a
fracture. So we shot-blast our springs —
to heal such tiny scratches, “peening” the
surface in miniature like hammered silver.
All through this massive, pow-
erful, beautiful car you’ll find
special precaution like that.
For example, we used to balance
by weight all sets of parts in our
tornadic Dynaflash straight-eight
engine, to cancel out even a hint
of "rough." /
We do that still, but now we
do more. On special machines we electri-
cally balance this great engine to micro-
poised perfection after assembly, paring
metal if need be to smooth its velocity to
velvet.
Seat angles, pedal positions, shock absorb-
er travel-arc, brake areas, control ten-
sions — every detail comes under special
study.
W hen the experimental models had done
their stuff on the General Motors proving
