INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

For a little while emphasis on
world events will be shifted to Mon
tevideO, Uruguay, where next Sunday
the seventh Pan-American conference
will open; twentyone nations will be
represented, most of them by their
foreign ministers, and the United
States by Secretary of State Cordell
Hull.
1t cannot be said that there is much
to hope for by way of concrete
achievements, for the preceding six
conventions most certainly have
Melted some rather meager results.
Such gatherings are, however, useful
because they afford leading states
men of the nations of the western
hemisphere an opportunity of becom-
ing ever better acquainted with each
other, and with problems which,
while mostly of national Importance
to the individual countries really are
of common interest to all the Amer
icas.
Politics and Economics.
There certainly is no lack of SUBJ
jects to discuss, and the times being
what they are, it is but natural that
most of them are of political
or economic nature. Information
debt reduction will come up for
an airing at the suggestion of Mex
leo; complicated questions of in
ternational law, rights of women, So
cial problems and intellectual coop
GRAFTON are listed on the agenda of
the conference, too, and here no very
serious obstacles are seen.
1t may be different when talk drifts
around to the Santiago treaty of 1928
which provides for the appointment
of a commission to investigate dis
putes, and to the two subsequent
agreements, the General Convention
of Inter-American Cancellation and
the General Treaty of Inter-American
Arbitration for it is generally feared
that these documents are not suffi-
GENTLY efficacious-a fact which be-
comes rather obvious when one re-
members that warfare has been going
on between South American republics
IOl QuiIC WHllC. IL may, tHOICIOl 2,
be that attempts will be made next
week to discuss the problem of sign
ing group of non-aggression treaties
which compel nations to maintain
peace or, in case of conflict, to yield
to arbitration.
There will also be much said about
removing trade barriers, of conclud-
ing commercial treaties and, gener-
ally, of taking steps in the direction
of the continued economic welfare of
the Latin-American countries.

YOUNG HUNTER
DIES OF WOUND
OtiSco Youth Accidentally
Shot by Own Gun Near
ASkOV.
ASkOv Mans First Aid Pre-
vents Victim From Bleed
ing to Death.

Carl Arthur Swenson, 20 year old
Otisco youth, who was accidentally
shot by his own gun while hunting
deer 10 miles east of Askov last
Thursday morning, passed away Mon
day at the New Asbury hospital i'm
Minneapolis where he was rushed fol-
lowing the accident. The body was
laid to rest Wednesday at Otisco fol-
lowing services held from the Swed-
ish Mission church of that place.
Young Swenson was a nephew of
Louis Larson east of Askov, and had
come to this community to hunt dur
ing the short deer season. He had
been perched in tree about ten feet
from the ground and had attempted
to get down when the accident oc-
Cured which caused his death. In
some manner he attempted to hang
his shotgun on a limb with the re-
suit that it was discharged sending
the heavy slug crashing through his
left leg near the hip taking with it,
apparently, large portion of the
bone. Richard Buck, 10 year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. H. r. Buck of Askov.
who was hunting near by, heard the
victims cries for help and rushing
to his aid arrived just in time to aid
him as he reached the ground from
the tree, down which he continued to,
climb after he had been shot.
With commendable ability Richard
took rope from the unfortunate
hunters belt and placed tourniquet
above the wound to stop the flow of
blood and then carried him through
the brush for about one-fourth of a
mile where he was joined by others
who placed the wounded man in the
Buck car and rushed him to the.
Askov doctor. There he was prepared
for the trip to the hospital which was
made by John H. Sorensen and Louis
Larson, the latter giving of his own
blood for the first TRANSMISSION.
Considering the rapid flow of blood
and the low percentage which it
tested later, the first aid and quick
action by Richard Buck was largely
responsible in saving the young mans
life until medical aid could be Sc
cured. The accident and resultant.
death was a severe shock to the
community and sympathy is extended
to the bereaved family and relatives:
in their great loss.

ELSBERG PRAISES
COUNTY OFFICIALS

N. w. Elsberg, state highway COM
missioner, praises the fine co-opera-
ton of county commissioners, county
highway engineers and other local
officials who made it possible for
the State Highway department last
week to establish a record of putting
5000 men to work on emergency Fed
eral jobs in 48 hours.
In order to speed up the Civil
Works administrations plan to take
men off the relief lines throughout
Minnesota, the Highway department
undertook to place 10000 men on road
jobs in the shortest possible time.
The first crews went to work Wednes-
day of last week, and by Saturday the
full 10000 were on payrolls instead
Of relief rolls. Every county in the
state was included in the program.

BEFORE, AFTER
THE REVOLUTION
Lecture on Russia Will be Presented
at AskOv Saturday, Dec. 8, by
Bert Merling.

In these changing times people are
looking for information as never be-
fore. Folks want to know not only
about their own country but how
people in other countries fare, how
they do things, and by what process
they advance. They like to make
comparisons and learn by the ex-
periences of others.
An opportunity is afforded Pine
county people to learn more about
Russia, the country which has made
great forward strides during the past
Is years, on Saturday evening, Dec.
9th, when Bert Merling will lecture
at the D. B. S. hall in Askov, on Rus
STA, Before and After the Revolution"
The former actor-director and au-
thor presents a talk on Russia i'm
English that is decidedly graphic and
exceptionally opportune. 1t is lee
ture that every American is now in
tensely interested in since the recent
recognition of the Soviets.
Mr.. Merling has been a student of
human problems all his life, and par
ticularly of social and political in
justices. He has devoted years to
crusades, by pen and by platform.
against all forms of social injustice.
The bondage of one hundred and fifty
million Russians under the autocratic
cars won his attention as boy and
since then he mas studied the coun-
try from every angle.
Perhaps the longest drawn-out
most agonizing human misery that
mankind has experienced was suf-
fered by the Russian people-a super
drama of unbelievable heroism, pa
thence, and self-sacrifice seldom
equalled in human history. This
colossal drama of an enslaved en-
pire is replate with soul-stirring
climax. 1t is particularly subject
suited to lecturer of Mr.. Merling's
qualifications. Only speaker en-
bowed with innate dramatic instinct
can do justice to so tremendous an
epic. He is admirably fitted for this
presentation. Before embarking upon
the orators platform he was a pro-
ICSS1OlldI dCIOl dppCdI III dluOot
all of the English translations of the
Russian dramatists.
This lecture will interest everyone,
regardless of viewpoint or knowledge
of the subject. Mr.. Merling drama
ties and colors the entire subject as
the facts themselves record and he
speaks frankly and honestly. A fine
enthusiasm fires his address with the
realization that at least in one coun-
try in the world, and that nation one
of the largest in the world, economic
justice and economic emancipation
has been won by the people.
The admission price is so low that
everyone will be able to hear this
great subject. Mr.. Merling will be-
gin the address promptly at $3.50 on
the evening of Saturday, Dec 9. Ten
cents will be the admission price and
all seats will be unreserved

MUST STAND
UP FOR RIGHTS
Masses Should Strive Forward With
Economic and Political Organiza.
lions, Declares Roy E. Burt.

Roy e. Burt of Chicago, the second
number on the Askov Socialist Club
winter lecture course, spoke here Fri
day afternoon at the Assembly hall,
dwelling principally on economic and
political questions of the day. He
was accorded very close attention
throughout his hours lecture-an able
speaker-and at the conclusion an
swered questions.
Mr.. Burt started out on his lecture,
"The Why and How of A New Order
by declaring that there are certain
basic human needs that must be met.
such as food clothing, and shelter.
He said there is an abundance of all
that in this country but under the
present order of things we are COM
polling the people to get along with
less. With the basic human needs
should follow education, culture and
religion to realize a fuller and truer
life.
The speaker said there is a surplus
of cotton, shoes. and all sorts of manu-
featured goods and the farmers have
produced plenty food products, but yet
on the other hand people are .des-
perately in need.
Speaking of natural resources, he
said that coal becomes valuable only
through the labor of the individual.
While there has been much waste of
lumber, coal, oil, etc.. in a mad drive
to produce and exploit resources for
the few, there is still an abundance
Gf natural resources in this country.
The waste of coal has been as high as
40 per cent and the fertility of soil
has also been taken out unwarrant-
eddy.
Must Stand Together.
Today, there are so per cent more
coal mines or capacity fer mining coal
than is necessary, said Mr.. Burt.
Looms and spindles run 60 per cent
over, and the capacity of shoe manu-
facturers is 9OO,OOOO0O pairs when
the need is only 3O0,0OO,000. The
number of boys and girls receiving
no public education in America this
winter is 2,S0O,0O0, said the speaker.
There must be new order for the
present fails to function. Farmers
are not going to solve the problems
apart from the laborers. The two
must stand or fall together.
Continuing, the speaker said that
the basis of all religions is brother
hood, but it is sheer nonsense to talk
about brotherhood when one beats
down another to get food and shelter.
Industry will put men back to work
when the profits are there. The owner
cf the machine has the power of life
or death over the people. Waiting
for others to do something for us is
not going to help, we must do it our
selves said the speaker. There is no
Santa Claus to do it. Folks must
study the problems and become in
terested and active with more crgani-
zation along economic and political
lines.
In 1920 there was fear of war be-
tween Britain and Russia but we'll or
ganized economic groups in Britain
stopped it. When the masses refused
to become gun fodder for the benefit
of the few there could be no war.
No Neutral Ground.
Those who have the power and
prestige will not change conditions
for the masses, said Mr.. Burt, and
folks are either for or against the
masses, there is no neutral ground.
A change must be made so that hopes
