Governors Proclamation Calls
for Legislation to Pre-
vent Future Wars

A call for passage Of national leg
islation conscripting all material,
manpower and wealth by the govern
nlent in event of future wars, was
sounded Wednesday in a proclama-
ton by Gov. Ole H. Olson urging OBJ
servance Of Saturday ss "forget-me-
rot day." sponsored by the disabled
American veterans Of the world
war.
He termed war q great savage
madness" to be guarded against Wig
ilahtly. as ceaselessly, as diligently,
aid as courageously as we guard
against deadly danger to our loved
ones"
Observance Of the day. Gov. Olson
declared, should direct the flaming
wrath Of the public against the greed,
the falsehoods and the misunder-
standings that are inevitably the
foundations Of war
In urging support Of the forget
me-not sale campaign by the veter-
ans, Olson deplored the necessity Of
such campaign. One Of the lessons
o! the world war seems to be that
the public soon forgets. Those who
emerged from that gigantic and hor-
rible struggle as human wreckage
can never forget and they should not
be forced to remind us Of our du-
ties by the plaintive appeal Of the
little blue flower called forget-me-
rot"
Unfortunately there are those who
In various ways deliberately promote
war and thousands who thoughtlessly
follow such leadership. Revelations
OF the committee investigating the
manufacture and sale OF munitions
should shock every civilized con-
science into passionate storm OF
protest against greed which fosters
war and yet fear that only g
few will heed. Fewer still Will act"
Expressing the fear that I'VE are
not done with war" he earnestly
asked that "the people Of North Da-
kota unite to the support Of the SER
vice organizations in the movement
to remove and lessen some OF the
causes Of war by taking from the ur.
worthy hands Of international and
soulless munition makers the manu-
lecture, sale and distribution Of all
munitions Of war and the placing OF
srch functions In the hands Of the
national government"

turn to White House
c. OF c. DEMANDS ACTION
Radical Changes in Recovery
Administration contem-
plated by Executive

Warrington, Sept. 26.-(R-Presi-
dent Roosevelt said Wednesday upon
his return to the White House he
would take up immediately the ques-
tons Of NRA reorganization and the
protest from textile strikers Of dis
elimination by employers.
The president talked with newspa-
permen in regular press conference
after his return from his stay at
Hyde Park, New York.
He did not refer to his letter Of
Tuesday night accepting the resigna-
ton Of Hugh 8. johnson as recovery
administrator.
The president emphasized again
the reorganization Of MIRA would be
of q revolutionary nature and that
changes would be made from time to
time on the basis Of trial and expert
ment.
Asked about the questions submit
ted to him by the chamber Of COM
merce Of the United States. the presi-
dent said he did not have time to
answer all questionnaires put to him
by various organizations.
He said in reading the questions Of
the chamber Of commerce he was re-
minded Of the lawyer who puts the
question In the form:
How long have you been beating
your wife?"
Little doubt was left that the
chamber Of commerce would not re-
ceive reply from the president.
Directors Of the chamber Of COM
ussrce Of the United States asked the
president earlier this week to clarity
the administration program by an
swering half dozen questions deal
ing with the future Of NRA, the bud
get and the value Of the dollar.
They contended business fears
would be allayed by definite state
ment from the president on these
and other pending issues.
Asked II he cared to comment on
business reactions, Mr.. Roosevelt
smiled, and replied that he did not
have as many reactions as some Of
the businessmen. He added that he
also did not have as many inhibi-
tons.
Mr.. Roosevelt offered no comment
on the protest Of the textile strikers
that those who struck were being dis
eliminated against but said he was
going to look into 1t. He proposed
employers reemploy the textile strik-
ers without discrimination.
