On Dec. 29 Finns will vote in national referendum to maintain, modify or abolish their Prohibition (TIME, Dec. 14). Last week the campaign was scarcely hot, both Prohibitionists and antiProhibitionists complaining that Depression had deprived them of funds sufficient to make adequate propaganda. Thus the vote should show what the Finnish people, unprompted, really want.
Desperately anxious to remain impartial, Finland's Archbishop Ingman ordered his Lutheran clergy to omit Prohibition from their sermons last week and said: "The gospel gives no indication of any special system to settle the drinking problem."
