market for the engines of legalized
mass murder.
This suspicion of an international
ornaments trust does not rest on an
imaginary foundation; time and again
it has been shown that agents of
such a combine have been actively
at work, as it was proved, for in
stance, during the naval disarmament
conference at Geneva in 1928 when an
American representative named
Shearer practically wrecked the nego-
tiatiOns because he had been amply
supplied with funds from certain
ornaments group. Such groups are,
of course, not interested in disarma-
ment and, obviously, the demand for
ton to the intensity of the war scares
which can be, and are being, so very
subtly engineered.
1t should be said that trained OBJ
servers, not influenced by sensation
alism and not in the employ of arms
ment can see no actual war threat
anywhere. Continued militaristic
propaganda can, however, create the
danger of war.
New Revolution.
In Cuba a couple of relatively
bloodless revolutions have taken place
during the last few days. AS a result
of the first of these two revolts DR..
Grau San Martin was deposed as
president, and Carlos Hevia installed
in his place. But Hevias-33 and a
graduate of Annapolis stayed in Of
flee less than three days when a new
coup d'etat" resulted in his being
replaced by Carlos Mendieta, SEEM
ingly favored by the government of
the United States.
1t has been pretty openly charged
that diplomatic representatives have
been actively at work in Cuba during
the last few months in order to OBJ
tain for that republic a government
which Washington might view with
out alarm. Such things can be done
in a country too small to resist diplo-
matte intervention of this nature; it
would not work in larger countries.
Mendieta has been informed that
American recognition of his govern
ment may be forthcoming if he shows
within the next few days that he can
stabilize conditions in his republic
No Cuban government can flourish
without being recognized by the
United States-at least, that seems
to be the general impression in this
country-and an apparent proof of its
correctness is the fact that within
the last six months five Cuban ad-
ministrations have collapsed, due,
very largely, to the absence of Amer
lean recognition.

The lower tax rate law on homes
and farms valued under $4,000 is again
being attacked. AS a part of the
nationwide wave in testing the con-
stitutionality of new liberal laws, an
other case is before the Ramsey
county district court. Recently, the
law was tested before Judge Waite
of Hennepin county, who ruled in
favor of its constitutionality.

floor and six free throws for total
of sixteen points, eeked out close
victory over the Bruno girls, the
score being 81 to 10. The Askov girls
led until the fourth quarter when

NEWS REVIEW

being discussed by these nations can
not be settled amicably, and diplo-
mats seem to be doing all in their
power to achieve just such a solu-
ton.
1t is admitted on every hand that
the situation is thOrny one, and
that it has not been simplified by the
most recent exchange of views be-
tween Paris and Berlin.
French Proposal.
France has proposed to Germany
that automatic, periodic and equal
supervision of all arms must be the
basis of any disarmament agreement.
and that the German army be not
increased in view of the fact that the
police and the militarily drilled citi-
zens' organizations such as the
Nazists storm troops and others
must be considered an integral part
of Germany's armed forces.
If Germany will withdraw it's
claims for army increase, and signify
it's willingness to discuss general dis
armament within the framework of
the League of Nations, France is will
ling to reduce its own army, and to
abolish bombing planes as well as to
destroy 500 of its present air de-
Tense equipment if other nations will
pledge themselves to take similar
steps. Every detail in the French
proposal is predicated on the demand
that the national security of that
country be guaranteed in some other
way than through armies and navies
that is then, through treaties of al
lance.
Germany Answers.
This week the German government
has replied to that of France, the
answer being merely firm reitera-
ton of what has been said before,
that is: Germany must reserve the
right to increase it's army to the
level of those of other countries; the
various citizens organizations in
Germany cannot be considered a part
of the army, and the German gov
eminent does not now feel that any
thing good may result from disarma-
ment negotiations progressing with
in the League of Nations. So, the old
deadlock remains, but not absolutely
without hope of some sort of peaceful
solution in the end.
Prospects of Peace.
If one is not susceptible to the
militaristic propaganda now going on
in a part of the daily press of the
United States-and in other countries
one can see no immediate danger
of war anywhere. Militaristic publ
cations speculate in sensationalism;
that's one thing not to be forgotten.
Another is the increasing fear and
suspicion that tremendous forces are
at work at the behest of the arma-
ment and munitions manufacturers
in leading countries for the express
purpose of keeping up the war talk;
the more intense that becomes, the
greater the scare-the bigger the

Probably Regretted Wish

Wishes come true most disastrous
~ sometimes. A farmer with a good
mich COW, living at BOthaville, South
Africa, had much trouble with it
breaking through the fence into his
vegetable garden. In anger he wished
1t would die. His wish was fulfilled
that afternoon when. during a slight
thunderstorm, the cow was struck
dead by lightning, and the farmer
was deprived of his milk and had the
trouble of rearing a young calf.

AS we go into the last half of the
basketball season with but two home
games remaining on the schedule, the
A. H. S. athletic association finds it
self in financial straits because of the
poor attendance during the season.
Last fall basketball fans of the COM
munity mentioned that they would
patronize the games, if instead of
playing in the small cramped high
school gym, they were played in the
d. B. S. hall, where there is more
comfortable seating arrangement.
What the poor attendance is due to
is not known. Although Askov has
only won two of its six games, all of
those played have been close, many by
two to five points.
For the, final two home games, with
Bruno and FinlaysOn. the Athletic
association is inaugurating a "Do
your bit" campaign to partly wipe out
the deficit. This means do your bit
even though you cannot attend the
games. Several people in the COM
munity have volunteered their serv-
ices in helping the boys in this drive.
Buy q ticket even if you are unable to
attend Any help by individuals or
organizations would be appreciated.
When the boys approach you, give
them a smile and helping hand.
County Debates Approaching.
The dates for the county debates
have been decided upon. The first
debate will be between the Askov af-
firmative team and the Sandstone
negative. 1t is to be held at the Askov
school Monday, January 49, at 200
p. m. Everyone is invited. A small
charge will be taken from outsiders to
help pay the expense of the judges.
In the evening of the same date the
Sandstone affirmative team will de-
bate the Brook Park negative at Sand
stone at 500 p. m. The next evening,
Tuesday, Jan. 80, the Brook Park af-
| firmative will debate the Askov mega
tive at 500 p. m. at Brook Park.
The lineup for the district debates
has also been made, although the
dates are as yet uncertain. They
must, however, be completed by Feb
ruary Is. The lineup is as follows:
/. Sandstone, negative, at Askov,
affirmative.
2. Askov, negative, at Rush City,
affirmative.
3. Rush City, negative. at Sand
stone, affirmative.
The debate between Sandstone neg
ative and Askov affirmative will net
be repeated, however, hence the de-
bate held at ASkOv, Jan. 80, will count
for both the county and district de-
bates.
Defamation.
Once again the students are busy
working for lead in the declamatory
contest. Quite a number of students
are competing this year. The sub-dis-
trict contest will be held at Hinckley,
February 10. This sub-district is
made up of Bruno, Sandstone, Hinck-
ley, and Askov. Barnum, Willow
River, Finlayson. and Moose Lake
form another sub-district, and a third
is made up of North Branch, Rush
City, Pine City, Brook Park, and Nc
Grath. The winners from these sub
districts will then compete for the
district championship. The local con-
test will be held some time in the
near future, at which time our repre-
sentatives will be chosen.
