TRIP TO PARIS SHOULD NOT BE
MADE
(By Thomas r. Clough

t. (By Thomas Il. Clough) :.
While attending the eighth annual
convention of the American Legion
held at Mankato, August 9-10-11, the
writer had the privilege to meet
and converse with many men of pro-
minence. In most cases when the
Paris trip in 1927 was mentioned it
was readily termed a chad thing"
Among some of the comrades inter
viewed was Joyce Lewis of Long
Prairie. This Todd county boy spent
considerable time in France during
the world war. He knows France
and he also knows current European
sentiment-upon which his objection
was based.
The following were some of the OBJ
jections against holding the American
Legion 1927 national convention in
Paris:
Most Americans can make better
use of their money than by braod-
casting it on a trip to Europe. Many
of our people have as yet seen but a
small part of our own country and a
limited amount of time and money
spent in travel at home will be Of far
more benefit than trip abroad under
the present existing conditions. When
the plan was first suggested, public
feeling in Europe was much more
friendly towards this country than
at the present time. Since an effort
on our part has been made to make
adjustments and settlements of War
debts, sentiment, especially in France
is far from cordial towards the United
States. Our citizens have been sub
jected to frequent insults and humili-
ations, and publications of Europe
and public speakers have roundly be-
rated US as "a nation Of avaricious
money-grabbers. Until the atn1os-
phere clears we should stay at home.
Many Legionaires who served in
the American army in France for
nearly two years stated to the writer
that they were in favor of dropping
the idea of going to France, either as
an organization or las individuals, in
1927 or at any time, until the nations
of Europe are disposed to take diff
ferent view of their legal and moral
obligation to this country.
It is just possible that many ex-
Service men who did not see foreign
service would make the trip to famili-
arize themselves with the scenes of
which they have heard and read SO
much about. These men who know
nothing of the ways of France might
cause considerable disturbance in try
ing to initiate "by-gone-days."
It is the sincere hope of the writer
that the American Legion of this
state will oppose the "trip when the
matter is under consideration.

Special to Herald)
Washington, Aug. 16.-With Con-
gressional demands for farm relief
temporarily silenced the administra-
tion is now giving its attention to the
problem. According to the stories
current in Washington the President
has asked various Cabinet officers to
give serious study to the agricultural
situation and then present their sug-
gestions to the Chief Executive.
There are some who profess to see
in this attitude deliberate play on
the part of the President for support
of the farm voters, and others say
that the executive branch Of the gov
eminent is merely preparing for
eventualities.
The Secretary of Commerce recent
ly discussed business and agricultural
matters with the President, and farm
leaders are trekking to the summer
White House in the Adirondacks for
conferences. While it is expected
that the bumper crops will appease
farmers in the absence Of legislation,
it is said that the administration is
taking no chances of having farmers
criticisms written into the ballots.

provoking widespread attention in
political circles. While the decision
will bear primarily on the candidates
for the United States senate from Hli-
nois, it is believed that it will open a
nationwide examination of the en-
tire primary system. The political
graft in largely populated states has
riyeted public attention to the ques-

Minnesota Asks for Grain
and Flour Freight Relief
Approval Of M. and St. L. Reduc-
tions Asked of Federal Interstate
Commerce Commission

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 10-The Min
1nesota railroad and warehouse COM
mission today urged the interstate
commerce commission to permit "a
six-cent reduction on grain and flour
freight rates.
The proposed rate reduction which
the commission is backing applies to
shipments from the northwest to At
lantic seaport districts.
In urging the reduction the ware
house commission summarized its po-
sition by giving four reasons for the
request. They follow:
1-'That the proposed rates
will be of material benefit to the
grain growers of this state by an
improvement in the market price
of wheat.
2-"That the proposed rates
will to limited extent aid the
milling industry of the state.
3-"That any aid such rates
may give the milling industry
will serve to stimulate that in
dustry, and to extend the
milling industry improves, the
immense dairying interests Of
the state will be benefited.
4-'That the rates published
by the Minneapolis and st.
Louis railroad company will, we
believe, result in material in
creases in revenue to that COM
pany, and as is well known, it is
road which is greatly in need
of increased revenues"
The commissions statement fur
Their calls attention to the fact that
these reduced tariffs effective Aug.
Is, on the M. and st. i. and Septem-
Der 2 on the 500 Line, are both filed
for the purpose of affording some re-
lief to the milling industry at Min
neapolis, but that it must be borne in
mind that whatever rate is made out
of Minneapolis, will be of equal ben
eft to the mills north and west Of the
Twin Cities. This is explained by the
fact that all rates to eastern destina-
tions from such milling points as

ton Of the primaries. 1t is well
known fact that political leaders of
The East and Middle West, at least,
would approve the restoration of the
convention system of nominating can
didates for political office. A few
more disclosures like Pennsylvania
and Illinois will bring about a change
on the part of the American people.
Therefore, the Illinois Court decision
IDS of more than passing Importance.

Few people realize the magnitude
|bf the legislative struggle for changes
lia the banking law. Tt is said that the
defeat of this bill at the last session
of congress was due to the expensive
libby maintained in Washington by
bankers organizations. The records
show that the Senate and House
could not agree in the terms of the
bill. The struggle will be renewed in
December.
The Department of Labor and 9TH
|er branches of the Government are
watching with interest the activities
|of railroad labor organizations. It is
aid that the unions are proposing
another demand for higher wages
based upon the fact that the railroads
enjoyed an unusually prosperous
year.. It is stated that the American
Moderation of Labor is warning
against any drastic action. The pos
,sibilties Of a transportation tie-up are
always given due consideration by the
Federal government, because of it's

SCOTTISH RITE
ASSA|LS K. OF c.
CritiCiSe Efforts to Force
Intervention.
BU United Press

BU Jniffd Press
WASHINGTON. Aug. 13.-The
Scottish Rite News Bureau in a
statement today assailed the knights
of Columbus for attempting to force
American Intervention in the Mexi-
can religious dispute.
J. J. Flaherty. supreme knight Of
the knights OF Columbus. replied
Immediately defending his organiza-
tion's policy as a necessary means
Of protection for Mexican members.
The Scottish Rite statement said:
LAS a comparison has been made
between the Soviet government OF
Russia and the Gales government Of
Mexico. It might be well for /our
prosecuted friends TO draw still a
further comparison that of fFscist
Italy under the dictatorship of
Mussolini. which apparently has
sanctioned the murder of three Ma
sons and the destruction of Masonic
property. ''1t is surprising that the
Supreme Council of the knights of
Columbus is suddenly coming to life
on the question of persecution"
"The Knights of Columbus has
no organization in Italy. but it has
many members in Mexico. Italy is
many miles away. while Mexico is
right at our border" Flaherty re-
piled.
