tions in Austria have approached
normally; the weakness of the nazist
movement in that country was con-
clusively demonstrated by it's failure
to carry out its intended coup d'etat;
official relations between Vienna and
Berlin were restored when Vice Chan
cellor Franz Won Papen was accepted
as German minister to Austria; the
Austro-German merger talk has just
about died down, so Mussolini the
other day concluded that there was
no further necessity for keeping his
troops at the border. They were re-
called, and everything is lovely once
more.
Most likely, Germany has learned
attack is planned on Austria, Italy
will be right there, ready to strike.
Asiatic Disturbances.
In spite of Hitler and Mussolini
peace still reigns in Europe; there is
no reason to expect any disruption of
the idyl for the time being. But
thunder clouds are descending omin-
ously upon East Asia once more.
Let it be said right here, though,
that no matter how threatening they
may look; no matter how violent the
spirit back of diplomatic correspond
ence may be, there is not at this
moment any reason to fear an actual
breach of peace, but-of course-one
never knows how far continued inter-
national irritation may develop.

State Capitol News

An increasing tendency among the
states to regulate outdoor advertising
displays along public roads is reported
by the state highway department. CAL
ifornia, New York and number OF
other states, largely in the East, are
now enforcing laws governing the plac-
ing of billboards on land abutting on
main roads. Increased highway safe
ty and added beauty along the coun-
tryside are public benefits claimed
for this type of regulation. In some
states roads are zoned, some sections
being designated for billboard use
while other sections are kept free
from advertising. Another common
plan of regulation is to limit the size
of signs, and the distance they must
be from the right-of-way. Similar
regulations for Minnesota are being
urged by various organizations.
A Minneapolis political editor
quotes Senator Rockne's Zumbrota
News as very much chagrined be-
cause the Banco Investigation is being
continued after the return of a no
bill by the Hennepin county grand
jury. The News, according to the
quotation, says that $4,000 already
has been spent in the inquiry, and
asks: How long will these kind of
tactics be tolerated." The News errs
in several respects, if the political
editor quotes correctly. In the first
place, the Legislature appropriated
$4,000 and not $4,000; in the sec
ond place, $4,000 was not spent but

Fearing too dangerous Russian influ-
ence in Manchukuo, Japan has been
wanting to purchase the railway from
the Russians, and Moscow was will
ling, indeed, was very accommodating
in regard to the price demanded, low
ering it stage by stage. At last the
Russian demand had reached point
which represented minimum below
which the Soviets would not go.
Japan kept on pressing for still bet
ter terms and, not succeeding, seems
to have broken off negotiations.
Many Arrests.
AS soon as the conferences came
to standstill the police authorities
Of Japan and Manchukuo proceeded
to arrest some sixty Russian rail-
way officials on the alleged ground
that they had aided and allotted Chi
nese bandits in their attacks on rail
way property. Russia insisted that
these men be set free. Japan re-
torted that the Tokyo government had
nothing to do with it ALT must
be considered a matter between Rus.
STA and Manchukuo. Russia reiter.
ated that it was up to Japan to act
Japan said, in effect, nothing doing,
and there matters stand. The press
in Japan and Russia indicates the
possibility of armed action; the gov
ernments of both countries vehement
ly declare that there is absolutely nt
danger of war. But each wants salts
faction-in some manner.

between Paraguay and Bolivia, now
entering its third year, defies all re-
Cancellation and mediation efforts by
the League of Nations and by neu-
trail American countries.
For some time past very little has
been heard about the hostilities-
enough, though, to prove that they
have by no means ceased, but may
have remained relatively dormant
during the winter season down south.
Now word comes that a new Para
guayan drive against the Bolivian
strongholds in the Gran ChacO terri
tory is under way; at Asuncion it is
claimed that Paraguay's army soon
will have reached its chief detectives
and thus be able to dictate peace
terms to the foe. Bolivia claims
that this is a grotesque distortion Of
actual facts, and that Paraguay really
is on the verge Of complete defeat.
That's the old game between the two
and the world does not know what
to think about it all.
Except this: The socalled embargo
on the expectation of arms and NUM-
tions from a number of countries to
the belligerents does not seem to
have been even slightly effective, for
it appears that both countries are
fully equipped to carry on for quite
a while yet; it is generally surmised
that this would be impossible if for
eign war material did not reach
them, in some way.
And so, the picture now as summer
| begins to ebb out shows Europe
| and an Asia at peace, two South
| American countries at war, and-in
the United States the New Deal, the
| MIRA and all their qualifications.

about $4,000; in the third place, des-
pite the fact that the Hennepin
county grand jurors found nothing"
upon which to indict, the investiga-
tors found enough to justify the as
sertion that the people in the North
west were made the victims Of the
most gigantic stock selling swindle
ever perpetrated here. Why should
not the investigation continue and
the people be told the entire story,
Senator Rockne and grand jurors

Notwithstanding the current opin-
ion that child labor could be and has
been abolished under the MIRA, the

Der of complaints relating to the use

county fairs, valuations and beer
parlors. A number of prosecutions
for violation of the child labor law
in the use of small children after

Within the past two years, the en-
tire system at the st. Cloud state re-
formatOry has undergone a complete
revolution in what undoubtedly will
be recognized nationally as an out
standing work in prison reform. The
reform is in the line of real rehabili-
alton, so that the inmates, when they
are sent back into society, will be-
come useful members. There is now an
elementary and high school course at
the reformatory, with special empha-
sis i'm the vocational field. The boys
spend at least as much time in edu-
cational training as they do in work,
and in addition receive the benefit Of
athletic instruction. From their
waists up, the inmates are as brown
as Indians from exposure in the sun
while going through their athletic
stunts. In the educational field, par
ticular attention is being paid to ap-
titudes of the individual, so that he
can be prepared to earn a livelihood
when discharged. When this work
of reform is completed, the State

Retreating from Border.

Since the assassination Of Chancel-
lor Engelbert Dollfuss of Austria on
July 25, considerable tension has been
felt in Europe because Italy immed-
lately made a move which showed
that she was ready for any emer-
gency including actual war: Prime
and War Minister Benito MussOlini
within "a hours of the murder at
Vienna had $4,000 soldiers stationed
at the Austro-Italian border to pre-
vent any possible German attack on
Austria.
In Berlin the deeper meaning of
this swift move was at once inter-
preted, and the German government
made frantic efforts to convince the
world that it had no designs upon
the independence of the neighboring
country.

wage scale of to 5 cents an hour
The girls work a few days, then
are fired, the boss telling them to
come back on pay day for their
money. Then the boss hires another
batch on the same basis, who meet
the same fate in a day or so; when
the girls come back on pay day for
their money, the boss Shoes them
away with gesture that he has never
seen them before. 1t is understood
that the MIRA is going to revoke this
laundry's license.

Many persons in the warden's own ward, the third, feel he acted in just the right manner. They do not like the suggestions made by former War den Harris Whittemore that Nau- gatuck needs two cars equipped with radio instead of one.
 Some claim there were more breaks than before the motor pa trol was. put on than before. They believe the patrolman has more of deterrent effort on would-be thieves than a car which does not take long to speed by. However others in other sections claim that no patrolman can make as fast time in getting to a place as can the motor patrol if summoned. They point out that if a policeman is called, he must summon an auto from passerby, and sometimes - nt right there is no such auto

Both republicans and democrats among the average group are for the move while some mem- bers of both parties are opposed to it. The warden's stand is ome- what along this line as concerns a freeman's meeting; not even a vote of the boar dwa snecessary to put the motor patrol on, so why should a freeman's meeting be ne- cessary to remove the patrpl.
