INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

AS formerly pointed out in these
columns. a very interesting move
ment is in progress in East Asia for
the apparent purpose of binding to-
gether China and Japan in an alli-
ance, needed by China for protection,
by Japan for further domination. A
few days ago the first seemingly con-
crete evidence of this development
appeared in the form of a statement
which outlined general and prelimin-
airy terms of cooperation designed. to
lease diplomatic and economic ten
sion"
Among the principal points of the
agreement thus said to have been ar
rived at, are these:
All anti-Japanes agitation in China
must cease; Japan is to assist the
Chinese government financially; Jap
anese advisers, in the field of finance,
economics and military activities, are
to replace European and American
appointees. now holding such posts.
Chinese Reasons.
All obvious question Is. w nat HAS
led China, for years an either po-
tential or active enemy of Japan, to
accept such terms?
One answer is China's pressing
need of credits and funds in lieu OF
the revenues formerly derived from
the mineral resources in Manchuria;
another is-or appears to be-China' S
realization that there is no one else
upon whom to depend. The League
Of Nations. various nine-power treat
les, the Briand-Kellogg treaty against
war-all failed to restrain Japan
from conQuering Manchuria and upon
her soil establish what is claimed tC
be an Independent empire. Also
China seems to have the impression
that the presumed menace of the ex.
iStence of a Soviet Russia. and the
serious Communistic qualifications
within China's own borders. make il
imperative for her to secure the
friendship of at least one great pow.

Former WiLLOW RiUer
Carrier is Fisherman

Many times i'm the past Eddie
Clough, formerly a mail carrier out
of Willow River, but recently trans
ferred to Barnum in the same capa-
city, furnished material for feature
articles of interest in that he has a
long string Of accomplishments with
the figure 49," etc. But now comes
little information from the north
country about Eddie's ability as a
fisherman.
Eddie, so the story goes, tells some
big fish stories but has of recent date
been giving some hard luck stories
about fishing Ed was beginning to
be kind of disconnected with Carlton
county fishing when one day not long
ago one of his neighbors told him
there were some large ones left in
Big lake. Well. Mr.. Clough had no
more than received this information
until he visited the lake to investigate
the tip. He returned to his home in
about two hours with an 1871 pound
muskie.
Then little later on he journeyed
to Island lake. just to show that it
wasn't luck. and came home with a
large muskie which he Is positive
weighed Is ounces to the pound.
At any rate Eddie has proved that
he Is somewhat Of fisherman be-
sides being a good sport and an ef-

RELIEF RATION
COMPULSORY
Letter From Livestock Relief Depart.
ment Says Standardized Mixture
is Optional.

At a meeting of the Askov Farmers
farmers getting relief were discussed.
These complaints were in regards to
the farmers being forced to take a
certain prescribed and expensive ra-
ton of livestock feed.
The board decided to bring the mat
ter before the county secretary of the
Farmers Holiday and the following
reply from c. P. Carlson, supervisor
Department of Relief, has been re-
ceived:
with reference to the mixing of
various kinds of feed, we were aware
of the fact that uniform agreement
had been reached amongst the ele-
vators to the effect that the types
of mixtures would be standardized.
However. l did not know until at
tended the meeting last Saturday at
Sandstone that the manager was COM
polling individuals to take these mix
lures This was apparently due to
Mr.. Bjork's misunderstanding of the
general instructions covering the is
suance of relief orders, and we have
already advised him of the fact that
the purchase of these mixtures is not
compulsory.
Answering your second question,
according to Mr.. Bjork, the COopera-
tive stores are not being left out of
this arrangement, and he also says
that any relief clients requesting or
ders on these stores have been taken
care of.
Answering your third question. we
do not know whether or not there
has been a cut in any of the farmers
relief orders this month, but if you
can furnish the names of any individ-
uals who have a justified complaint,
we shall be glad to check up on the
matter.
I'm the meantime l have instructed
Mr.. Bjork to advise the elevators that
the furnishing of these mixtures is
optional with the farmer"

CURRENT BREAK
is INCONVENIENCE

If there are any shortcomings
in any of the business enterprises
in this section of the country this
week they can possibly be traced
to the break in the current which
came Wednesday forenoon. No type
Of any consequence was set during
the daytime Wednesday in the
Askov American plant, but the
crew worked all night in an at
tempt to get the paper out on
time without too much" of fall
ling off of quality.
However, the difficulty was not
man made and therefore man
should not complain. The embar-
RAISING situation was caused by
the terrific sleet storm which isO-
lated the Twin Ports Monday and
caused the transmission lines to
be rendered useless. The Sand
stone equipment of the Minnesota
Power & Light Co. came valiantly
to the rescue but the load was too
great and the labor too continu-
GUS for the quantity of water in
the reservoir and that plant was
also rendered incapable to handle
the situation.

The National Capital Park and

program for buildings in the North
west rectangle. bounded by E street
the Potomac River, Seventeenth street
and Constitution avenue, has made
provision for a new naval hospital
and also. on the river side of the hos

Congress already has authorized
construction of the new naval hos
pital here. but has not made any
funds available.
Swanson declared he is considering
new Navy Department building. but
no plans have been made and no
estimates of cost. Congress has not
authorized the erection of a new Navy
Department. but it is considered pos
sible that it may be built under the
new public works set-up. The Ma

Commission, in its Northwest rec

new War and Navy buildings be
grouped around Virginia and New
