is increasing by only 2% annually.

Then the rodent eats the seed...

Excuse me, would

the gentleman there like to continue?

- I'm sorry. Please go on, sir.

- Thank you.

In the past thousand years,

the number of people has increased-

- 20,000 times more quickly

than previously.

If a substance burns 20,000 times

more quickly than another one-

- we should certainly call it

an explosive substance.

And it wouldn't be gunpowder,

it would be a hydrogen bomb.

As a solution, the biologists

have offered two methods:

One of them is

to increase the production of food-

- and the second solution

is birth control.

In this connection,

biological research certainly offers-

- more pleasant methods

than for instance mechanics.

Still, biological means are granted

about a millionth part of the funds-

- that are devoted to the more

traditional method, that is war.

The morality of our society

is based on theses-

- according to which

birth control is immoral.

Is it morally right that the human

race should become the cancer-

- that will take our planet

back to the ancient virgin state-

- with the only difference

that in this new situation-

- no new kind of life

will be possible? Thank you.

- Hello.

- Hi.

Tenu! Let's go along the shore.

A Swedish professor says that if you

eat six pheasants in a row, you die.

Our children and grandchildren

will stand side by side on Earth-

- eating algae

off each other's shoulders-

- and making love to whoever

happens to be standing next to them.

I only hope my son happens to be

next to a really nice-Iooking woman.

I don't see

it's got to get as bad as that.

The straight line leading to

over-population will start bending.

I bet they'll think up something

before that.

They'll think up some new wars

to thin the population out a bit.

In my opinion

the pill is the easiest way.

- We go this way.

- Bye.

- Love to Lulu.

- I'll tell her.

I read in some paper about a Swiss

couple adopting an Indian kid.

It's one way the individual can help.

Yes. Still I think most people want

to have their own babies-

- even if it's only to see

what they'll look like.

Why does there have to be

all these frontiers?

Why do Indians have to be crowded

into a too small bit of land?

Why can't the Chinese and the

Japanese walk over their frontiers?

Statesmen talk about population

policy for developing countries-

- and breed like rabbits themselves-

- without ever thinking

they could adopt a child from India.

Yes, that's true I suppose.

But all the same...

Are they going to use

all those pictures in the play?

She just asked do you mean to use

all those pictures in the play.

I don't think it's so important

whether we use the pictures or not.

What is important is what relation

and contact we ourselves have-

- with this Finnish fascist movement.

These pictures

help us to find that out.

By Christ and by this hand

No one blasphemes here

Against our God and Fatherland

Our Fatherland so dear

- Next line, please.

- We cannot wait till law is sent

We cannot wait till law is sent

To bring the reds in line

The government

We cannot trust

The Lord God

Only be our sign

And the Lord's chosen leader

Together we'll bring order

to this land

And the Lord give power

to this hand

If in revenge I trust

You're sure to suffer from that too

For more revenge to come

and come it must

I revenge, you revenge,

we revenge anew

Forgiveness is wiser and better

He'll be forgiven

that learns to forgive

Forgiveness can't make

a man less clever

Learn to forgive

and you'll learn how to live

God is truly strong but man is weak.

I don't understand it at all...

Does it have to be done this way...

I can't use any old mannerisms.

But when I think of what has

happened in the past few days-

- I feel the weakness...

This is going all to hell.

Man is weak but God is strong.

All right,

I can do that any way you like.

- I feel weakness...

- Listen, Petteri.

Now if you make that caricature

so bloody strong-

- we'll be running into farce

and our reviews will suffer.

Isn't this a comedy after all?

It's not the same thing to do comedy

and make farcical types.

Let's try a song. If we can get the

song going as simply as possible-

- you'll find you can do the lines too.

Let's try it.

The earth is pressing,

pressing on the beam

The earth is pressing

Earth is pressing on the beam

And the dead one's pressed

Into the earth

Yes, now it's coming.

I thought so too. The colourless

aspect is the main thing.

All right, let's try it like that.

So it's... tomorrow then.

My uncle is a pastor

and he's a very nice man.

I see.

The way you do

that fascist priest in the play-

- is that your idea of the clergy?

No, it's my idea of the fascist priest

in this play "The Lapua Opera".

The pastors and bishops of that time

distorted the image of the church.

How do you know?

Were you living then?

There's

clear documentary evidence about-

- how the clergy helped in acts of

violence by giving their blessing-

- and by choosing

"the God's chosen leader".

They even went so far as

giving their blessing to murder.

Have you ever thought

about the private motives-

- that the priest might have had

that made him act that way?

They don't really interest me. You

talk too much about the individual.

I'm interested in how what he did

affected the nation as a whole-

- what he achieved

by giving his blessing.

You don't seem to

think much about individual.

If we try to have an effect

on some whole, on a herd-

- it's got to be intensified.

You can't handle big masses

with feather-light stuff.

If they come

and it has a terrific effect on them-

- and they're shocked

when they see the play-

- what will they do then?

There you go talking

about individuals again.

If we can affect the general opinion,

then we should do it.

It's much better to do that

than if we don't do anything.

The motives of

the Finnish movement-

- were pure, patriotic and unselfish.

Communism was a national threat.

It threatened

the recently-achieved independence.

The Communist Party

was forbidden.

Nevertheless Communists operated

publicly, openly, communistically.

The Government could not ensure

that its decisions were carried out.

The independence of the country

was in danger.

Independent action

was an ancient tradition-

- independent action

to the point of taking up arms.

And then they made

widows and orphans.

How can you ever justify

killing other people?

Still, it must be true-

- when there's evidence

of kidnapping and murder.

Why didn't they tell me

all about that?

Who can I trust now?

- Is Kari here?

- Yes.

- Juhamatti?

- Yes.

- Karipekka?

- Here.

Anni? Heidi?

Juhapekka? Kalle?

In the water

do what you've been told.

Put your head in the water-

- and slide along flat and kick.

If conditions are ideal, a child

will learn to swim in three days.

- What will we do then?
