A long, fragmentary account suggests scientists now argue that old tales of the little people, from elves to dwarfs, may reflect real pygmy races. Citing ancient cairns, broch towers, elf shots, and Pict huts in Britain, the piece ties folklore to possible prehistoric dwarf civilizations and notes modern comparisons to Congo dwarf groups and other short-statured populations.

Washington. The Finnish debt to the United States, under 10 million dollars, prompts talks in Washington between the Finnish Minister and the American Debt Funding Commission. If agreed, repayment over two years at 3 percent interest for ten years and 6 percent thereafter would mark a major step for Finland as a new independent nation seeking reconstruction and steady trade, notably with the United States as a key customer.
