Inflation Wage Control Is Being -Stud ied Roosevelt WASHINGTON. July 17 HV- The whole problem of inflation and wage control is under study. President Roosevelt told a press conference today, but he said no decision had ben reached on the time when he might make definite recommendations to congress. The basis of all policy on this problem, he asserted, is keeping the cost of living from going up. Asked his reaction to the war labor boards recommendation that Workers in little steel companies receive an additional 44 cents a day, equivalent to a 5j per cent raise, the president remarked that for an article like steel a 5 per cent Increase would not force up the living cost nearly so much as would a similar raise in a canning factory, for instance.

The whole thing is relative, he declared, and, he' said, the whole thing must be kept as much in line as possible in all industries. Likewise under study, he declared, is Ihe question whether the projected wage increase for the little steel Industry could be absorbed without boosting the price of steel Advised the WLB Chairman Wil-hanT' H. Davis had spbken of the need for establishing equity in wage payments, the chief executive asserted that that was under study, too, as part of the complexity between various industries.

UNITED STATES IS NEAR BREAK WITH FINLAND Stale Department Asks CIos-Ing ol Finnish Consulates in This WASHINGTON, July 17 PT? Finland and the United States were one move short of an open break in diplomatic relations today, with the Helsinki government preparing to close all its consular offices in this country in compliance with a Wash ington request.

The state department, in disclosing last night tnat it had asked the Finnish government Uj discontinue its consular activities in the United States not later than August 1, announced that it already bad cancelled the consular commissions of American consular officials in Finland and was closing "immediately the consular section of the Ameri' can legationn Helsinki. The status of the American lega' hon itself and that of the Finnish legation in Washington remain unchanged, but the ousting of the con-aulates was ominously reminiscent of deelf'pment in Ger man-American relations. The doting of German consular offices in this country and of American consular offices in Germany was one of the preliminaries leading up to the final rupture and declaration of war. Fourteen Finnish consulates on American soil will have to close, but actually few consular officials will go back to Finland, for most of them are honorary consuls and vice-consuls of American nationality. Lake wise the closing of the consular section of the American legation in Helsinki does not mean the consuls there are packing their bags.

The state department's announce--ment-made no mention of the fight which Finland is waging against Soviet Russia as an ally of Germany, and based its action purely on Finnish restrictions which hampered the functioning of legation officials in their consular capacity, contrary to "treaty rights."
