ASSISTANCE OF
M'CUMBER ASKED

J. 3. Wineman, president of the
Grand Forks Community club, has
written to Senator p. J. McCumber
at Washington, asking that he lend as
s'stance in the matter Of securing nee
essary congressional action toward
the proposed placing of a dam across
the Red river. While the RED river
mas not been used for navigation for
many years, it is still listed as a nav
igable stream, and before any obstruc-
ton can be built across it, congress
must declare it non-navigable.
The plan as outlined and endorsed
BY the Community club, is for Grand
Forks and East Grand Forks to build
a dam across the Red river for the
purpose of identifying the two cities,
providing a settling basin for the cit
les water supply and for furnishing
power for operating the public utili-
ties for both cities.

DIR. FREY SPOKE
ON S0WETlSM
University Students Heard
Interesting Address This
Morning.

An intensely interesting discussion
of sovietism in Russia was given to
the university students at convocation
this morning, DR.. John A. Frey of
Riga Latv.a, speaking on the ques-
ton, will Soviet Russia Survive p
DIR. Frey has lived in Russia. all his
life and has had first-hand contact
with condit. ons in that. country Is
they have been for the past few years.
He is visiting this country on a lee
ture tour, and spoke last night at the
church of this city.
DR.. Frey, in opening his talk, stated
that the death rate in Russia during
the past while has been SO much
greater than the rate of births that
within a few years the Russian race
would be extinct in it's own country.
He expressed his belief, however, that
this condition could not last for long.
The soviet rule cannot continue as it
has in the past few years.
In the first place, anarchisnl tends
to overthrow the present rule. Com
munism, government or state owner
ship, is taught under s~ovietism; no
personal property is permitted; every
necessity is. given out by government
Decree Educated people are often
imprisoned because they have a per-
sonal possession in their learning
which cannot be taken away from
them, The people are fast learning
that the government decree is i'm
practical because all too often the
government has nothing to give and
the people are in want. AS a onse-
quence,. anarchism, which teaches the
strength of the individual, is gaining
prestige. 4} gle ae. . IT, .
Again. communism holds that every
man is naturally good-a false basis
which in time is bound to over
throw it.
Lastly, soviet rule cannot stand be-
cause its foundation is hate. There is
hatred between the leaders and the
governed. The aristocracy was over
thrown only to be taken over by an
other rule equally as aristocratic.
1T was announced at the meeting
that Prof. Henry Haxo would deliver
the next convocation address,
