Crusty but popular President Pehr Evind Svinhufvud, 76, described himself as "a worn out old cart" when his followers recently insisted that he stand for reelection.

...Finland's population is approximately that of Massachusetts, her size approximately that of California. The president, elected for 6 years, is Dr. Kaarlo Juho Stahlberg. Finland has three universities, seven languages, a mark the value of the French franc, a prohibition law. The season for outdoor athletics is short.
