timistic Nazi leaders.
Opposition forces, terrorized by fear
of reprisals, Immediately prepared to
leave the Saar as soon as departure
of foreign troops removes assurance OF
protection. 1t has been estimated that
more than 400 Jews left their homes
within the first two days after the cleo
ton, some of them preparing to locate
in Luxembourg, and others leaving for
Palestine
The council still has the final de-
cision on how the Saar shall be gov
erned, and if the minority is larger
than 40 per cent, it may yet divide
the Saar, returning only those districts
which went overwhelmingly pro-Nazi
TO the reich, and permitting the others
to remain, as now, under the league.
There were few disturbances at the
polls as voting proceeded quietly. Riot
ing, however, broke out while ballot
boxes containing the votes were being
brought by soldiers of the League of
Nations international army to Wart-
burg palace to be counted.
Love of the fatherland won over
antipathy to Hitler principles in in
fluencing the voters. The Saarlanders
in voting to return to reich rule ex-
change their personal and political
liberties for the RECOMMENDATION of a
dictatorship with its curb on the press,
free speech and individualism.
The plebiscite was conducted under
the direction of Godfrey Knox, APP
pointed president by the League of Ma
tons to administer the affairs of the
turbulent region while the vote was
being taken.
Repercussions of events which will
Immediately follow the Saar vote are
awaited with uneasiness in world cap
itals. spokesman for the Italian
government expressed hope that trans
fer of the territory to Germany would
take place Immediately. Fears were
also expressed that exuberance over
the victorious vote would lead Nazi
supporters to excuses elsewhere. Signs
of a renewal of Nazi activity in Aus
tria are being watched closely by
Italy.

a NUMBER of important issues
await the League of Nations as it
convenes at Geneva on its fifteenth
birthday Five major disputes will
come before the body, of which the
Saar plebiscite, involving as it does
the disposition of the future national
allegiance of that rich territory, holds
most immediate interest.
Other decisions which await action
of the league include: the dispute be-
tween Iraq and Persia over alleged
border violations by the latter; the
border conflict between Italy and
Ethiopia; the Greek complaint that
Greek minorities in Albania are being
deprived of their guaranteed rights !;
and the long war in the Chaco Boreal
between Bolivia and Paraguay. The
latter nation has been cool toward the
assembly's detailed peace plan. al
though it has been accepted by Bolivia.
EIRST legislation to be put through
the house of representatives was
completed as the S779.916,0O0 indie
pendent offices appropriation bill was
passed in virtually the same form as
recommended by the appropriations
committee. The amount for the securi-
ties and exchange commission was in
creased to $2,0OO,0OO. Efforts of Rep
resentative Blanton of Texas to reduce
the S264,043 for the home loan bank
board and of Representative Taber,
New York, to cut down the appropria-
ton for the federal communications
commission were defeated
Signs of gathering storms were seen,
however, as Representative Rayburn,
Democrat, Texas. chairman of the
house interstate commerce committee,
declared on the floor that he would not
support bill TO place production of
oil under government control. Emer-
gency legislation to supplant control
measures invalidated by the recent de-
cision of the United States Supreme
court will undoubtedly be proposed.
and Rayburn's declaration is seen as
an indication that opposition may de-
velop.

To comfort those appropriating and

fighting the depression it can be said,
quite reasonably, that there would be
no danger in spending $100,000,O00, 900
more, considering that the normal in
come of the United States, in really
good times, is close to $100,000,00O, 900.
If man spent one or even two years.

think the price reasonable.
1t would be silly mistake, Of
course, to issue the S10O.O0o,O O0, 900
in bonds and pay out another $780,
OOO,OO0,OO0 for interest, unnecessarily.
That needs to be said and will be said
quite often.

poll of southern manufacturers. Clari-

opposition to collective bargaining.
Outstanding suggestions were for fiexi-

freedom during peak production, sub
normal wage for low class labor, more
voice in planning codes, and simplifi-
cation of codes and code authorities.
Elimination of price fixing provisions
was also suggested.

THOSE Democrats and Republicans,
L eminent and otherwise. who are
banded together as the American Lib
erty league are now really getting into
action against what they deem the rad
ical features of the administration
program. and their executive council
has put out a ten-pOint platform. 1t
declares the leagues opposition to such
practices as sweeping delegations Of
legislative authority to the President,
lump sum appropriations to be doled
out by the White House, specialization
of industry and RECOMMENDATION of Amer
lean life.
In the first plank of it's platform the
league pledged itself to preserve
American institutions which safeguard
to citizens in all walks of life the
right to liberty and pursuit of happi-
ness" and at the same time ito combat
the growth of bureaucracy, the spread
of monopoly, the Specialization of in
dustry, and the RECOMMENDATION of Amer
lean life"
Invasion of the law making and law
interpreting functions by New Deal adj
ministrators was also raped by the
league in promising Ito uphold the
American principle that laws be made
only by the direct representatives of
the people in the congress, and that
the laws be interpreted only by the
courts"
Other points in the 10-point declara-
ton of policy pledged the league to
fight for government economy.

In THE highly dramatized trial of
Bruno Hauptmann for the kidnap-
ing and murder of the Lindbergh baby
the state continued to weave a strong
net of circumstantial evidence around
the defendant LindbergE first identi-
fed his voice as that of the man who
received the ransom; next was Aman-
dus Hochmuth, eighty
man who told of seeing Hauptmann
driving "dirty-green" car with lad
der in it into the Lindbergh lane March
1, 1892, the day of the kidnapping. Then
John Perrone, Bronx taxi driver, identi-
fed him as the man who paid him ST
to deliver ransom note to "Jafsie."
"Jafsie," otherwise DR.. John Con-
don. the aged Bronx educator who I'M
dertook the negotiations with the kid
naper, next went on the stand and in
his garrulous way identified Bruno as
the man with whom he dealt and to
whom he handed the S50.0O0 ransom
money. His long and somewhat ram
bling story was bitterly assailed in
cross examination by E. ]. Reilly, chief
of defense counsel, but seemingly the
great value of his evidence was not
much shaken.
Handwriting experts introduced by
the prosecution added to the drama
when they testified that in their opin-
ion Hauptmann was the author of all
the ransom notes. Comparisons of the
notes and subsequent handwriting, ad-
mittedly Hauptmann's, were shown. and
observers conceded the state had pro-
duced strong evidence against the ac-
cused.
Detective Arthur Johnson Of New
York was on his way home from Eu-
rope bringing relatives of the late Isa-
dore Fisch to testify for the state
Hauptmann claimed in his defense that
the ransom money found in his pos
session was given to him by Fisch. a
business associate in New York. Fisch
later returned to his home in Ger
many, where he died.

In his new White House offices,
President Roosevelt is at work on a
social security program" which will
include unemployment insurance and
old age pensions. The idea is to let
pay rolls contribute to the cost of in
surance and pensions. This might
work well with normal pay rolls.
You hope that the President, in his
wisdom, will include in any security"
program security for tine nation, in adj
dition to security for individuals, old
or out of job.
Unemployment insurance and old age
pensions would do little good if few
thousand planes came flying from Eu-
rope or Asia to bomb our cities and
spray them with poison gas. If they
came now, they could do exactly as
they pleased. We have no way of in
terfering with them.

It's not widely known. but Mime
sofa packs more canned corn than any
other state in the nation. Only Wis
consins pea pack exceeds Minnesota's s.
G. A. Vacha, chief bacteriOlogist of
the state department of agriculture,
dairy and food also tells us that the
quality of Minnesota canned products
exceeds that of any other state.
This fall Minnesota Gamers packed
72,491, $40 2O-ounce cans of corn and
54.631,424 similar sized cans of peas
"a new record pack for Minnesota.
In addition to a record yield, the
quality of corn and peas this year
was high, Mr. Vacha said.
Despite the heavy pack by Mime
sofa canneries, Mr.. Vacha said that
most of their stocks have been sold
out There was an acute shortage
because of the drOuth last year. 1t
has been several years since any part
of the country has produced big
pea crop.
A recent development in the Min
nesota canning industry. according to
Mr. Vacha, is the packing of tomato
juice. Minnesota tomato juice is OF
the highest quality on the market and
commands a premium.

State Capitol News

The difference between the liberal
and conservative groups in the spe-
cial session of the Legislature is not
whether the state should undertake
certain social security measures but
rather whether the necessary funds
shall be secured by taxing wealth or
by taxing poverty.
We would really be approaching
the millennium if the conservatives de-
parted from their age-old role as the
protectors of wealth. But that time
is not yet here So it is nothing eX-
traordinary to find the reactiOnary
majority standing as solid phalanx
against any plan to tax those who
have. They endeavOr to conceal their
true role by such expressions as, I'VE
must not overburden business" even
though this has no relationship to
such things as increased inheritance
taxes, increase in the upper brackets
of the income tax, and other such
sources of revenue proposed by Gov
ernor Olson.
But to say that conservatives do not
progress is not stating the entire
truth. The very fact that they are
accepting the necessity for social Sc
curity legislation is an indication that
we are going forward, even though
this acceptance is based on political
fear rather than sincere conviction.

When ice blankets Minnesota as it
did last weekend and the highways
become slippery and dangerous. there
is always a renewal of the discussion
as to whether the state highway de-
partment should be equipped to keep
all the main routes sanded. The part
of the problem usually overlooked is
that such service on the thousands
of miles of trunk highways would cost
far more than the highway depart
ment has to spend. The highway de-
partment does a large amount of
sanding ON curves, hills, and at cross
roads; but when Mother Nature COW
ers the whole state with ice about the
best thing the average motorist can
do is to drive as little as possible
until conditions improve.
