PREPAREDNESS IN U. s.
TOBE EUROPE'S SAVIOR
Sword America Is Forging Not
to Make War, but to War on
War, London Paper Says

LONDON, June 17.-Preparedness in
America means that America will be the
savior of Europe is the epitome of an ed-
torial by Alfred G. Gardiner in the Daily
News today.
THE preparedness issue in America,
reads the editorial, means that the greatest
Power on the face of the globe has come
into the world system to secure herself
against war and the effects Of war.
"The underlying watchword of the pre-
paredness issue which is sweeping the
United States Is the idea that the power
of America should be used to deliver hu-
manity from the tolls in which it has been
enmeshed by the past. The sword which
America is forging will be used not to
make war but to make war on war and
to lay the foundation for world security"

RESOLUTIONS 1D0PfEUBY
THE's1: PAul CONVENTION
PUBLISHED BY REQUEST.

Resolved, That whereas, the
Minnesota Railroad and Ware
house Commission. elected by
the votes of the people of Min
nesota, has exclusive charge Of
all matters connected with grad
ing, weighing and inspecting
all grain entering the terminals
at st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Duluth, whether or not such
grain is raised or shipped by
citizens of other states:
And Whereas, such Rail
road Commission has charge Of
all matters connected with the
licensing of commission mer-
chants and terminal elevators
in Minnesota and has general
authority over the conduct and
practice of such elevators and
commission merchants,
And Whereas, said Commits
ion is further vested with gen
eral power and authority over
Grain Exchanges doing bust
ness in Minnesota and over the
practices and conduct of the
members of such Grain Elk
changes.
Be 1t Resolved that we con-
denim such Railroad Warehouse
Com mission as unprogressive,
reactionary and acting in want
on disregard of the interests of
the producers in the following
particulars:
l.. The Commission at the
last session of the legislature
utterly failed to suggest or to
support a single remedial legis-
lative measure intended to i'm
prove the condition of grain
producers, OF eliminate the
abuses and %extortions practiced
by the terminal monopolies.
The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1916-01-27

Resolved, That we extend
hearty thanks to Elk Governor
Burke. Senator LaFollette,
Congressman Lindbergh, and
all other speakers who have SO
splendidly entertained us and
made our convention a success.
Whereas; The war in Eur
ope with all it's carnage, strife
and bloodshed is a shock to our
civilization, and contraryt to our
desires for brotherhood and
humanitarian instincts, and
Whereas, We believe the
preparedness of European ma
tions, has been responsible for
this s+upendous catastrophy
which has torn the world with
the pillow share of disaster, and
Whereas, certain powerful
financial influences, in the
United States whose business
is the manufacture of arms and
ammunition, and other COM
modities of war, seems to have
caught the spirit, and are clam
moring for war, for their w
greedy ends,
Therefore: Be it resolved
that we record our uniquivocal
and unalterable condemnations
of the big business enterprises,
and jingos who advocate en-
ormous expenditure of the
peoples money for their own
private gain, and further be it,
Resolved. That we oppose
the expenditure of more money
then has heretofore annually
been expended, for the main
tainance of our army and'navy,
believing these appropriations
to be abundantly adequate
economically and judiciously
used,

8. The Commission BY tie
refusal to compel the install
alton Of track scales at termin-
al elevators and mills is permit,
ing the annual loss of tens Of
thousands of bushels of grain
by producers.
A. The Commission now
licenses some 10 commission
houses of the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce to do
business when said commits
sion houses are known to be
owned by the various mills and
elevators which buy the grain
and which are therefore com
mission houses in name only.
D. The Commission now
licenses at least 20 old line
elevator companies to do a
commission business in vio-
lation of the rights of produc-
ers, who are entitled to dis
interested Representatives in
these markets.
6. That the Com mission has
long combined at Minneapolis
to practice price discrimina-
ton between communities, such
as has been authoritatively
shown at this convention in the
case of Dassel, Litchfield, and
other points and makes no eff
fort to oppose or prevent such
practice.
Resolved. by 5000 farmers at
st. Paul, Minnesota that the
present, vicious, and unla wful
and monopolistic practices Of
the Minneapolis Chamber of
Commerce and other grain
markets are robbing producers,
and have been for many years,
And Whereas, full and COM
plete proof of the wrongful and
unlawful monopoly known as
the Minneapolis Chamber of
Commerce has been in the
hands of the Attorney General
of the United States for more
then two years, and said Of
fetal has taken no steps to
prosecute said monopoly or re-
lieve producers of it's intoler-
able burdens and extortions,
And Whereas, the National
Democratic platform explicitly
condemns gambling in food
stuffs and other practices Of
said Minneapolis Chambers of
Commerce, be it.
Resolved: That we, the pro-
ducers Of the Northwest, in
convention assembled call up
on the National Administration
to make good the promises to
the people made before cleo
