Debate.

Once again the high school students
have entered into the study of an
important present day problem. De-
bates will be carried on in all Eng
liSh classes with every student par
ticipating. The question for debate
is, Resolved That the United States
should adopt the essential features of
the British system of radio control
and operation" An interesting debate
on this topic was given over the radio
Tuesday of last week by six univer-
sity professors. The teams which are
to represent our school will be picked
in the near future.

Likes and Dislikes of Our Village.

The English w class conducted a
series of interviews with business
men, teachers, and farmers of the
local community. In the course of
these interviews they have stumbled
onto the likes and dislikes of some of
the, people of this village.
Many of our residents would like
to travel, but when and where was
the question. Europe, Florida, and
California were all places of interest,
but to some Sturgeon Lake would be
| as good for a summer vacation as
| any other far away region.
We all know that different people
have different tastes, but we certainly
hit upon a variety of favorite dishes
this time. These dishes included
practically everything: macaroni fried
in butter, bacon and eggs, "medister
polse,' "rullepelse,' ice cream, oy-
sters, chocolate pie, and some pre-
ferred the good old meat and potatoes.
What could possibly bother these
people. 1t would be funny world
that could remedy the troubles for
all. Money matters, illness, the ig-
norance of people, dealing with hypo-
critics, noise, and even the weather
cause disturbances in the systems of
this particular group.
There are certain things which
these people like to do. Their hobbies
range from dancing and fishing to
playing horse shoe and smoking.
These persons surely are an am
bilious lot too. Some of their ambi-
tions were to own a VIC Cadillac,
travel, get rich and retire, become
great, pay their bills, raise level of
people, attain financial independence,
get to heaven and get a job where
they can sit down all day.
Milo Reno, F. d. Roosevelt, Musso-
lini, Sen. Norris. Bjornson, Cote, Floyd
Olson, Lincoln, and many others are
admired by the people of our COM
munity.
Since much time is spent in reading,
it would be interesting to know what
kind of literature these people read.
Some like to read about social and
economic questions, others prefer
poetry, drama, and novels, while still
others like to pass their time away
by reading dime novels and the comic
strip.

Basketball.

Once again winter has come, and
with it comes basketball season.
which includes both practices and
games.
Our first game will be with Brook
Park on November Oath, at that place
The first practice of the season was
held Nov. Bird. 1t was a night prac-
tice, but from now on practices will
be carried on during and after school
hours as much as possible.
This year, more than any other
year, the boys are M st enthused
about basketball. Eighteen boys came
out for the first practice and it is
hoped that these boys will continue
to come. There will be a first and
second team similar to last year,
which play approximately the same
number of games. There will be no
definite first and second. team all
through the season. This is arranged
so that members of the second team
can work themselves up to make the
first team.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page u

arms plants in Great Britain and
france have recently increased; Bel
GUM is ready to spend more millions
on Notifications; the United States is
expanding its navy; Japan is pre-
pared to follow that example; ap-
preparations for new military equip
ment are being sought by the defense
ministries of Switzerland, Poland and
Czecho-Slovakia; the Austrian army
is being enlarged the Australian
military budget has been increased;
South Africa is strengthening it's
military forces; even Denmark, first
country to take voluntary steps to-
ward partial disarmament. is discus
sing the possibility of having to pro-
tect its frontiers.
All this does not mean imminent
war as some pessimists have tried to
make the public believe. But it does
mean lessening prospects for real dis
armament, therefore constitutes a
very real menace to world peace.
LftvfnOv in U. S.
Early this week Maxim Litvinov.
foreign commissar of the United Rus
sian Soviet Socialistic republics, ar
rived in the United States aboard
the steamer, "Berengaria," and is
now in Washington where confer
ences between him and President
Roosevelt probably will pave the way
for American recognition of the pres
ent Russian government
1t is interesting to note to what
extent opposition to recognition has
receded into a shadowy BACKGROUND
since Mr.. Roosevelt invited the Rus
sian president to send his represen-
tative to this country. No doubt the
prospect of widening trade POSSIBLE
tiles has something to do with the
apparent change in the trend of pub
lie opinion.
Also it is increasingly felt, as John
Bassett Moore aptly has expressed it,
that the fact that there may be diff
ferences between two governments is
all the more reason why there should
be recognition since such differences
cannot be eliminated without it.
At this writing, nothing is or can
be known concerning the details of
the Roosevelt-Litvinov discussions,
but it is pretty generally known that
both gentlemen are anxious to bring
about change in conditions which
the presidents of both republics pub
licly have characterized as abnormal.
Until further and more definite
knowledge is acquired it is assumed
that Mr.. Roosevelt will ask Mr.. Lit
vinov for a promise to consider the
matter of Russian indebtedness to
the United States, and also will de-
mand pledge that the Russian gov
eminent sponsor no communistic
propaganda in this country. To this
Litvinov is expected to be ready to
assent provided the United States
will discuss American indebtedness
to the Moscow government, growing
out of the military invasion in 1919,
and the granting of long-term credits
to facilitate Russian purchases here.
German Elections.
On Sunday, November II, the Ger
man people will once more go through
the ordeal of general elections
rather amusing gesture since the re-
suit is known beforehand; there is
now only one party in the country,
that of Chancellor Adolf Hitler's
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1933-11-09

National Socialists; no other groups
have the right to present candidates,
and no opposition of any kind is
legally tolerated.
Under these circumstances, the
main object is to bring out as many
votes as possible in order to impress
the world with the fact that a united
nation stands back of Hitler and rat
ifies his action in resigning from the
League of Nations and withdrawing
from the disarmament conference on
the ground that German ornaments
equality has been denied by all prin-
cipal countries.
So, the election is a mere gesture,
but probably a shrewd and effective
one.
Hindenburg May Go.
One issue does come up next Sun
day-that of dissolving the fedora
tion of German states. 1t is Hitlers
intention to dissolve all the state
governments and have the German
government centralized in Berlin. A
corresponding situation would be
created in this country, were the gov
errors of the 4S states to resign and
were the legislatures of all these
commonwealth to adjourn perman-
emily. That is. in effect, what Hitler
seeks to accomplish. And here, too,
there can be but little doubt as to
the outcome because whatever oppO-
sition may be wanting to assert it
self, dares not do so.
Interesting in this connection is
the repeated rumor that President
Paul Won Hindenburg will retire from
office after Sundays election Never
officially denied or confirmed, the
rumor has gained some credence, and
coupled with it one always hears that
other rumor that if Won Hindenburg
goes, Herr Hitler will become his
successor as president of the German
republic, with either himself or his
right-hand man, Hermann Wilhelm
Goering, as chancellor of the Reich.
1t is all very interesting, if true.
If true, it is also bit disturbing be-
cause it is realized that Won linden
burg during the last few months
quietly has been able to place some
restraint on his chancellor. If he
himself becomes president-who is
there to curb his ambitions?
