Soviet Pressure Strongly Exerted; Norway, Sweden Aid
Bi Untied Press
Russian pressure on Finland vied in importance with the pending fate of Adolf Hitler’s peace proposal in European developments Wednesday, with the United States having a direct interest in the Soviet attempt to dominate the sturdy little country north of the Baltic.	r
Sweden and Norway, in concert With threatened Finland, have suggested to the United States a joint overture to Russia against “immoderate dealings" with Finland, it was learned in Washington. The Stockholm newspaper Dagens Nyheter said the United States, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark would make a demarche to Russia against any penetration of Finland. Other reports, unconfirmed, said such representations already had been made.
The American state department declined to say if this country would join in a demarche to Russia. It was known, however, that the Swedish minister to Washington conferred with President Roosevelt and that other Scandinavian ministers had talked with Secretary of State Cordell Hull.
The British reply to Hitler’s peace proposal, to be made in parliament today by Prime Minister Chamber-lain, is expected to indicate whether guns and bombers or a protracted period of diplomatic bargaining would be Europe’s fate this winter.
It appeared probable that guns •nd bombers would be the answer, although there remained an outside chance that some counter proposal by Chamberlain or perhaps a new offer by Hitler might lead to peace talks.

Results to date in the Daily Trojan's poll on the $30-Every-Thurs-day issue, continued to show a large majority of campus opinion against the measure. Increased student interest in the impending election was indicated as votes continued to come in today.
Nearly 93 per cent of the Trojans who participated in the poll were against the Ham and Eggs proposal, according to yesterday s tabulations. Only 36 per cent of the participants are eligible to vote at the November 5 election, however.
Yesterday’s balloting showed 62 voters opposed to Ham and Eggs and 7 favoring the bill. This brings the total to 184 “no” and 13 “yes.” Eight of those who turned in ballots yesterday are registered voters. The remaining 62 cannot participate in the state election.
Balloting in the Daily Trojan straw vote will continue through Friday to give all students a chance
to vote. The ballot box is m the foyer of Student Union.
Purpose of the poll is to get a cross-section of student opinion on j the measure. Results so far prom-| ised almost certain defeat of the '•bill in the Trojan poll, although a substantial minority has voiced its approval of the pension plan. Most SC students said they opposed $30-Every Thursday on economic grounds.
