LITTLE ENTENTE LEADERS HOLD IMPORTANT MEETING

By lliiliert Uexkuell HAPARANDA, SWEDEN, ON THE FTNNISH FRONTIF1R. F>b. 2 (UP) Finland's appeal*for foreign airplanes became urgent today after a bombing raid by 43 fast two-mo-tored Russian planes on Rovamemi, general headquarters for the Finnish northeastern and northern armies. The planes dropped 200 bombs, of all types, on the city yesterday after having dropped 120 bombs Wednesday. . . ^ Thf» people of Rovanieirtl expressed belief that Russia intended to de- | ntroy the city by systematic raids j and when I left there last ni^ht to file | this story, because Rovaniemi communications were disrupted, they urging that only the immediate receipt of planes from nations friendly to Finland could stop the raids. Two Russian planes were shot down during yesterday's raid. In three formations of nine each and two of eight each, the planes went over Rovaniemi between 10:30 a'ni 11 a. m. yesterday. They flew at about 10,000 feet. Telephonic and telegraphic communications failed as soon as the bombs started crashing Into the city. Hours later, with communications

BELGRADE. Jugoslavia, Feb. 2. (UP)—Foreign ministers of Jugoslavia, Rumania, Greece and Turkey, each fearful for his country’s safety in the complex and explosive European situation, gathered here today for what may be the last meeting of the Little Entente. The conference opened in an atmosphere of tension. Not only were the problems of the conferring nations different, but each delegate knew that the great powers, Germany and Italy above all but the allies also, were watching every move he made. Because of its implications, the conference was perhaps the most im- j portant since the war started, involv- j ing not only nearly 60.000,000 people | of the Entente nations direct, but I the 15.000.000 of Hungary and Bulgaria indirectly—to say nothing of those of the belligerents.

It was predicted freely that the conference would result in a split || marking the real end of the Little j Entente, though most probably a | split would be concealed under a j meaningless diplomatic formula.

of Turkey had astonished other dele- | gates, and particularly Foreign Min- \ ister Aleksander Cincar-Markovitcli' of Jugoslavia, by saying before he

left Istanbul:

“Our country is not neutral but is I

(merely) out of the war.”

This plain statement of Turkey’s alliance with the allies just before a conference whose keynote was the strictest sort of neutrality, caused

not pnly consternation but

ment here.

If anything had been needed _ to cement the pessimism of delegates generally it was that. But what between internal dissensions, the competition between Germany and the allied nations for raw materials. Italy’s ambition to be the protector of the Balkans and its dread of the spread of Bolshevism, it had been predicted already that the conference [

would fail.

Twenty bombs, mostly heavy ones, dropped in the immediate vicinity of a hospital without hitting it direct. In the two days’ raids •wo nurses at this hospital were killed and eight wounded, some seriously. Buildings elsewhere without military value, including two churches, have been wrecked or damaged. I was unable to get an authentic estimate of yesterday's casualities. But walking the streets after the laid, it was difficult to find a building with windows intact. Most of the windows which remained in the principal hotel after Wednesday’s raid went out yesterday. Authorities at Rovaniemi have asked newspaper men not to report the specific buildings hit, in order not to inform the Russians. During yesterday’s raid one man 50 yards away from me had his legs cut off by a splinter from a 200pound bomb which also wounded two other persons nearby. He died on a sled on the way to a hospital.

LONDON, Fob. 2 (UP) The Moscow radio, less than a day after the statement of President Kyosti Kallio of Finland that Finland was readv to negotiate an honorable peace, broadcast today an editorial from the newspaper Pravda. official organ of the Communist party, asserting that “The Finnish bandits will be destroyed and exterminated.” ’’We will achieve victory over them mder our great leader Stalin,” the editorial continued. There was no indication whether the editorial, from today's issue of the newspaper, was a reply to Kallio's speech. T he Moscow Radio broadcast exerpts from the Pravda editorial. The principal one was. textually: 'Since the Anglo-French imperialists provoked a new war they tried to dtag the Soviet by '.istigating the White Finnish scum to attack us. The Finnish bandit- will, however, be destroyed. We will achieve victory over them under our great leader Stalin.”

reported, also, that Saracoglu would go direct to Paris, for an allied conference, from Belgrade. There was an evil augury late last night when Saracoglu and Gen. John Mataxas, Greek strong man, who is both premier and foreign minister arrived here. Their special train was an hour late. Jugoslav Premier Dragisha Svetkovitch, Cincar-Marko-vitch, high foreign office officials and the Turkish and Greek ministers waited all that time on a bitterly cold railroad platform. When the visitors arrived, the military guard of honor presented arms and an army band blared the Turkish. Greek and Jugoslav national anthems, the delegates shook hands stiffly and formally and the visitors drove at once to their countries’ legations. Because of the divergent and sometimes conflicting viewpoints of the Little Entente nations it was believed in some quarters that there would be open disputes here. Sources close to the Jugoslav government showed anger at Saracoglu’s remarks and said that if he had wanted to emphasize the extent to which the Balkan Entente already had been disrupted he could not have done better.
