FRENCH CINEMA
CONCESSIONS

BY International News Service

PARIS, France, May S.-The
government cinema control commits
sion will make concessions to United
States film firms, it was strongly
intimated when the commission met
in special session today to discuss
the whole foreign moving picture
problem.
Minister Of Education Herriot'
chairman of the commission, in an
exclusive statement to International
News Service, forecast the appoint
ment of a special committee to deal
direct with Will Hays. who came to
Paris to present the American film
firms side of the case.
M. Herriot said:
THE film decree, as a decree. Is
irrevocable because it is signed by
the President of France and seven
ministers, but, personally, l think
the commission of 80 can modify
the administrative methods.
THE commission Is now sitting.
I have placed Mr.. Hays objections
before them. I have no power TO
anticipate their decision, but
venture u SuS6CSI IAOJ VIA %O%AA%
a subcommittee to deal direct with
Mr.. Hays.
"If they agree, I will consent
to act as arbiter. Mr.. Hays has
assured me of his willingness TO
postpone his departure in order to
meet the subcommittee personally.
1 am certain this personal contact
will produce results mutually sat
isfactory."
The conflict between the French
and the American moving picture
companies arose from the complaint
of the French film concerns that
the Americans were dominating
the French field. The government
decree was then issued appointing
a. board of censors and placing
foreign films upon q quota basis.
When Will Hayes arrived here
he said he did not seek any special
privileges for American companies.
but merely wanted to make an ar
rangement by which film firms In
the United States would be assured
of just and impartial treatment.

THE HOUSECLEANING

AS a result of Tuesdays overwhelm-
ing catastrophe to the alliance be-
tween politics and organized crime in
Chicago, that city looks cleaner and
smells better.
1t is as though a clean, fresh gale
had blown through and purified it. 1t
looks more like an American COM
munity now, and its odor is less
mephitic. .rs ,sA
But more than the villainous marri-
age between politics and crookdom
has been rebuked.
All over Chicago there are banners
and posters, soiled now and somewhat
tattered, with this device: America
First!'
That is a reminder of the fact that
not only crooked officials in partner
ship with crooked gangs have been
rebuked, but bunk also-which is a
new name for demagogy.
For the utter and devastating de-
feat of those who ran for office on the
slogan America First" does not mean
that Chicago voted against America.
1t means that Chicago voted against
the gang of demagogues, headed by
the windbag Thompson, that tried to
make a winning issue of the silly bus
mess of twisting the tail of the Bri-
fish lion and of trying to breed inter-

THE MAKING OF REDS

Commenting editorially upon the
tyranny in the soft coal fields of
Pennsylvania and Ohio, the brutality
of the coal and iron police. family
evictions, shootings, deaths, attacks
on young girls, dreadful poverty, cruel
oppression and bitter suffering, the
Duluth Herald says in part:
There are folks in this country
who fear the hot words of radical
agitators. But there is much greater
need to fear the ruthless deeds of en-
ployers like those in Pennsylvania
and Ohio, whose oppressive methods
will do more to promote radicalism
in America than million loud
mouthed agitators."
How straight to the point, and true
that is!
Some there are, who are reds and
radicals by choice, but all too many
others turn to radicalism, commun-
ism and worse, because, as they see
it, that apparently is their only means
of making their protests heard.
When employers in this day and
age attempt to. make slaves out OF
their employees, then the worst can
be expected. The day when slavery
was tolerated has long since passed.
1t is but rarely that, as the Duluth
Herald calls them, "loud-mouthed"
agitators, can make communist or a
red out of the man who can do his
own thinking.
But the hardships invoked in some
of the eastern coal fields by stone
hearted employers, yes, and elsewhere
too, are enough to twist mems minds
in such shape that they are driven
to say or do mostly anything.
The sooner some folks come to the
realization that radicals and reds are
made" not "born," the better off
things will be.

CHANGING LOCATIONS

Reports from various parts of the
country are to the effect that not in
years have there been so few tenant
farmers changing locations as has
been the case this spring. Several
reasons have been advanced for this
condition, the more favorable position
in which the farming industry is
placed, the scarcity of good farms for
rent, and also the question of cost of
such removals which it is thought
have been given more serious con-.
sideration than formerly.
New surroundings necessarily mean
the establishment of new relation
ships with banks, merchants, church
es,. and schools. In addition, there
are generally unsettled weather con-
ditions in the spring of the year. and
exposure may take its toll in sick
ness.-The Star Gazette, Moose Lake.

ABOUT THE CREAMERY

Editor Askov American:
Will you kindly grant me space to-
state my views on the proposed
creamery and incidentally answer
Mr.. Carlson's article. What are we
hearing? "A tempest in a teapot"
Is it possible that a dairyman can
not express his views on subject
that largely affects himself, without
being accused with knocking" and
making misleading statements2
We are sorry that Mr.. Axel Carl
son, being business man, should
feel called upon to enter into the
farmers problems. He has devoted
whole column to slamming a farm
or and to telling us some things that
we already knew.
When we consider that several mil
lion farmers have left the farms and
gone into the towns and cities since
1920-Mr. Carlson being one of that
class-we must conclude that farm
ing hasn't been very remunerative.
We that are left, would like to work
and not be hampered by outside in
terests. Don't let anyone tell you
that the merchants and farmers in
terests are identical; they are not,
nor can they be. They must ever
stand as seller-wishing to get all
that he can-and buyer, wishing to
buy as, cheaply as possible. There
fore, the farmer must not expect too
much from the outside; we must
fight our own battles and do our own
thinking. We believe that IS to 900
of our dairymen in this locality agree
with Mr.. Pulling and have no inten-
tion of knocking, but realize all
these enterprises have to be paid for
out of cream checks, and at this
time, with ever increasing taxes, in
terest on loans, upkeep of farm and
dairy herd, cost of feeding, clothing

that she values this farm so highly
that she does not choose to offer it
for sale.
This sign-reading This Farm
Not For Sale posted in these days
when farmers have had so many diff
ficulties to overcome, presages a Wis
ion of the future. 1t spells faith in
agriculture. 1t is evidence of the
firm belief that the difficult period is
nearly at an end. When Mrs. Hitch
cock posted this sign she was conf
dent that the fight to give the farm
er place in the sun is all but won.
1.-The amount of first class agri-
cultural land now available for use
is strictly limited. The constantly
and rapidly increasing city population
of our nation means there are annu-
ally more mouths to feed and great
err demand for clothing and shelter.
The stiffening and Tightening up of
tariff regulations respecting agricul-
tural imports strengthens the do
nestle demand and accordingly boosts
the price. The dairying industry is
good example.
What are the farmers themselves
doing? They are seeking ways and
means to lower the production costs
and to operate their farms in the most
efficient way possible. And they are
succeeding. This far-seeing farmer
knows these facts. They justify her
faith in the future.
mo wonder this sign The Hitch
cock Farm Not For Sale is conspicu-
ously posted in front of her farm. 1t
stands as a challenge to the world
that agriculture is on the way to ra-
pid recovery. 1t breathes the faith
in what is ones own. 1t inspires 10y
atty to the home community, without
which no substantial values can exist.
$50 to one who loves the soil, who
has answering faith in this wonder,
full state of Minnesota, and who be-
lieves that farming is about to attain
new heights, this sign at this farm is
truly significant.
There should be such a sign on
every farm in the state of Minnesota.
What a tremendous difference that
would make. Millions of dollars in
value would come into existence in a
single day; for others always desire
that which you yourself hold dear

"MURDER WILL OUT"

Once more history has repeated it
self.
A murder was committed in Pine
county, an investigation was conduct
ed by the proper authorities, arrests
were made, and now-after just three
short months-the guilty parties have
been convicted, and have been SEN
fenced to serve life terms in the peni-
Tertiary at Saltwater.
Justice had its day; notice has been
broadcast to the world that crime can
not continue unpublished. 1t may have
its run, unchecked for a time, but
there is an end to everything.
1t has happened in many instances,
that men have been sent to prison for
murder, for burglary and for many
another crime, who probably never
actually did the killing or the steal
ing, but were in company of one who
did. To be placed in such circum-
stances, unless one Immediately no
titles the authorities that crime has
been committed, and aids in the ap-
prehension of the guilty person, rend-
ers one equally guilty with the killer
or the thief.
There is a great truth in the saying
that lone can tell what sort of man
you are by the company you keep"
And birds of a feather flock to-
gether." Men of mature age and mind
know these facts, so it is just their
bad luck, poor judgment, or call it
what you may, if they fail to heed the
warning.
Many an innocent youth has been
"sent up for term of years in the
reform school or penitentiary for a
crime he never committed, but for the
reason he was keeping company with
criminals. Regrettable? Surely, but
if all who witness crime withheld the
facts from the authorities, society
would have no protection whatsoever,
and the result can easily be imagined.
And so it must come to pass that

EXTENSION WORK

When you discuss politics with a
cussion into other channels, such as
church work or something else, you
naturally feel that his arguments are
pretty weak, or he would rather argue
something else.
l have been arguing in favor of
extension work and that the county
should be willing to pay its share of
it, but Mr. Mosbak seems to evade
that question, and knocks the Farm
Bureau, and talks potato exchange,
etc.
Mr.. Mosbak has talked cooperation
more than any man in the county,
and few, if any, in the state have
talked it more than he has, but l am
about ready to doubt his sincerity;
or probably it is only certain kinds of
cooperation he believes in.
On the Farm Bureau stationery you
will find the heading: Cooperative
extension work in Agriculture and
Home Economics; U. S. Dept. of Agri-
culture, MINI. Agricultural College,
Pine County and Pine County Farm
Bureau cooperating.
When talking cooperation, Mr..
MOsb3k always used sayings to fit
the occasion, such as: eff you don't
believe in cooperation, you believe
in each man for himself and the devil
for us ALL" and, Don't stand to one
side and say, let George do the work"
He now seems to be in the class that
he used to talk against. He wants
George (Farm Bureau) to do all the
work and pay all the bills, while all
the people get the benefit, and he
doesn't believe the Farm Bureau
should cooperate with the govern
ment; it should stand on its own legs.
He and Axel H. Andersen of Tyler
and Erwin Nelson of Pine City, seem
to find great pleasure in calling the
part which the government pays for
extension work subsidy. 1t is not
subsidy. 1t is only their just share
of the expense of carrying on the ex-
tension work in the county in CO.
operation with the Farm Bureau.
No, Mr.. Mosbak, I can't name you
college graduate who has made
success at farming in Pine county,
for the good reason that know of
none who has as yet had chance
to make good, but can name good
many farmers who have benefited
greatly from the information they
have received through the extension
department of the Farm Bureau.
In our cost accounting route I think
you will find those following the ad-
vice of the extension department MAX
ing the greatest success.
Cornell University of New York, has
for several years been keeping cost
accounts on farms similar to those
on the route here at Askov. They
found that 81 farmers who had taken
twelve weeks short course at Cor
nell had labor incomes of $1,3O1,
while 80 farmers who had no agricul-
tural training had labor incomes OF
5000. This same institution made a
study of successful farmers for
number of years. Seventy-seV-
en- Cornell college men had an
average labor income of Sl,22O as
compared with $1,SS6 for LOG farmers
who did not have an agricultural
training.
hardly think it is fair, on account
of the first potato exchange proving
a failure, to lay all the blame to the
fact that county agent was appoint

AMERICAN FARM VALUES

The Department of Agriculture re-
ports that farm lands throughout the
United States in 1920 rose to 1859 per
cent of their pre-war value. The fig
ure is in striking contrast to the value
of farm products. Such values as of
Feb. Is, 1928, were estimated to be
but 1877 per cent of their pre-war level,
and that is higher than they have
been since the depression set in. OF
course farm land values increased
notably during and Immediately fol-
lowing the World war along with COM
modify prices in general. When pri-
ces began to decline, and especially
inaSmuch as the price of agricultural
products apparently declined more
rapidly than did commodity prices in
other lines, the plight of the farmers
was magnified. The results could
hardly have been otherwise. Farm
bankruptcies, which recorded pre-
war rate of Is per thousand farms.
increased to 1.23 per thousand farms
in 1925. This rate, it is true, de-
clined to 1872 in 1926, and to so in
1927. The figures show that there has
been a check in the rate, but the eff
fects of deflation have been drastic
and severe.
The agricultural problem in the
United States has, upon occasion, been
described as due in no small part to
the increased capitalization of farm
property. That may be true in a
sense, but it does not tell' the whole
story. Farmers can lose control of
their lands without going through
bankruptcy, although the causes may
be similar. Yet bankruptcies have
been given as an evidence to the de-
flation of farm land values despite
the fact that such records do not con-
stitute an absolute measure of the
current economic condition of the
farmers. A detailed study of the fig
ures given by the Department of Agri-
culture shows that the financial diff
culties in agriculture have not been
due entirely to inflated land values,
but have been associated with uncer-
tain, highly variable, and generally
depressed farm receipts and with the
persistence of relatively high and
inflexible costs of production on the
farms.
Farmers in the cotton belt may be
enjoying a measure of prosperity while
those in the wheat belt have felt the
effects of depression. Corn lands may
be returning profit while the potato
fields are showing a loss. The vari-
ableness of the crops and of crop val
ues has been common phenomenon.
That cannot be corrected by the de-
flation of the overhead of the farmer.
1t is largely for this reason that
many members of Congress are sim
cerely endeavoring to find some agen-
cy whereby farm values can be rend-
cred more stable, more certain. Their
desire is not to enhance unduly the
cost of agricultural produce, but to
make sure that the market price will
remain fairly stable and that the
farmer will receive his just proper
ton of the price which the consumer
pays. This wide variation in prices
and crops has been at the bottom OF
far more trouble on the farm than
has the mere question of the original
cost of the land devoted to the plant
ing of crops. Christian Science Mon
