Strange Anomalies In Finland
Jan.
23
HELSINGFORS, (Reuter).-Among the foreign volunteers to arrive in Finland to fight against Soviet Russia is an Italian air pilot, who passed through Germany on his way to Helsingfors.
He told enquiring Nazis he was on his way to some winter sports.
The attack on Finland was a great mistake for the Bolshevists, he caid. All Italy feels great admiration for Finland, and the longer the war goes on, the more, Italy's admiration
grows.
An Indication of the high ideals of the volunteers is provided by a Swedish detachment, which in- cludes anti-Communists and anti- Nazis who fought on opposing aides during the Spanish war.

Wang Ching-Wei's Secret Pact
CHUNGKING, Jan. 23° (Central).—Generalis- simo Chiang Kai-shek late tonight issued a lengthy message to the peoples of all friendly Powers con- cerning Wang Ching-wei's secret agreement with Japan, exposed by Tao Hsi-shong and Kao Tsung- wu in Hongkong on Jan. 22.
Generalissimo Chiang says, that while the agreement, covering "fundamental points for the readjustment of Sino-Japanese relations," by an expelled traitor naturally holds no validity,
yet it is of striking significance, as it confirms
by Japan's own mouth the fact that whatever her professions or protestations, her traditional more changed policy of conquest could be no than a leopard could change its spots.
He then proceeds to say:
