I just wonder how they feel after having served their country so patriotically to be told that their patriotism is to be questioned just because they happened to be born in Finland. I might say here and now that Finland is not an ally of Germany by choice but by accident. and that if Russia would agree to return to Finland the territory that she took away from her. it is my understanding that Finland would lay down arms in peace. However. even though Finland is an ally of Germany is no reason to question the patriotism of any American citizen of Finnish extraction who became a naturalized citizen of this Nation and is so patriotically serving the United States. I trust that you as director of the Upper Peninsula area of the Michigan State Employment Service will check into this matter immediately and. if possible. have this corrected. I will be pleased to hear from you at an early date.
