ABLE ADDRESS ON
SOCIAL UNREST
Prof. Payne Talk on Funda-
mental Causes Of Industrial
Unrest.


The first Of the community
meetings in Askov this winter.
held under the auspices of the
local post of the American Le-
gion, was well attended and was
an instructive and enthusiastic
meeting. It was addressed by
Prof. Athur F, Payne Of the
State University.
The meeting was opened by
Rev, s. d. Rodholm, chairman Of
the local post. who asked every
body to rise and sing the last
stanza of America as is customa-
ry at the opening of all their
Legion meetings here. After the
singing the speaker of the eve-
ming was introduced.
Prof. Payne said that ten years
ago he became acquainted with
Mime" Since then he has
travelled in SO states Of the
Union and Ave foreign countries.
the last two years of which he
was in the Government service
where he had very strenuous
work during the war. But about
a year ago he was glad to get
back to Mime" and has since
been a member of the State Uni
versity faculty. His desire to
get back to dear old Mime
and its close to nature environ
ments was further strengthened
when later he told Of the awful
conditions prevailing in mining
towns where his government
work brought him. The speaker
also said in his introductory re-
marks that he was glad to speak
before the Legion boys as three
years ago he had the thrilling ex-
perience Of seeing the first
American transport leaving New
York harbor for the war.
"a.
Mr.. Payne then lodged into his
lecture and said that America
is the greatest and best country
on earth. but that there is q
greater danger than war con-
fronting this country today and
that is radicalism and anarchism,
and what this country needs
more now than ever is leader
ship based on sound Judgment
and facts. The speaker said he
was foreign born and added that
he regretted very much he was
not born in America.
Mr.. Payne said that news
papers, which are the greatest
moulders of public opinion do
not always tell the truth. but
went on to say that while he was
in the Government service during
the war he was placed in a po-
sition to give out reports to the
press, and here he commended
the reporters for not once over
stepping the rules and publishing
articles before they should he
released. The speaker said that
he was not accusing newspapers
of willfully misrepresenting
things, but that the press as 4
big moulder of public opinion
should be very accurate.
The speaker said that unrest
in any part of the country is
felt all over if not directly then
indirectly, and especially so be-
cause the agitators are wise
enough to cause trouble in the
basic industries Of the countries
such as steel and coal. Every
body will suffer from the unrest
and Mr.. Payne drew examples,
If the unrest is not given more
attention by the general public
there may be sad awakening
some day. Everybody should
work together for Americaniza-
tion.
Mr.. Payne did not mention any
