INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

A momentarily peaceful note has
been struck in the international con-
cert as a result of the empire-wide
celebration of the twenty-ffth ami
versary of the ascension to the Brit
ish throne Of King George the Fifth
and Queen Mary. The three-month
program of celebration began last
Monday with thanksgiving services in
the st. Paul cathedral in London, and
is being continued daily during the
present week; as time goes on, the
features of the celebration will ap-

Loyal and good-natured citizens of
the empire have in many and various
ways been expressing their affection
for their king and queen, and. natur-
ally, an occasion like this strength

mightiest empire on the globe.

too. Last Sunday. for instance, there

In England they have long ago adopted
the habit of letting the dissenters
have their say; as long as they dc
not threaten or commit violence, they
are not in any way interfered with by
the authorities. And the English have

Must Work for Stability
If IT is to be Obtained
So Says State Bank Commissioner
Elmer A. Benson IN Talk GiUen
at Sandstone.

The talk given by State Bank Com
Sandstone Farmer-Labor Club in the
Madison Casino at Sandstone Wednes-
day evening, May 1St, was only briefly
touched upon in the columns OF the
Askov American last Thursday. due
TO lack of time and space. Another
speaker on the program that evening
was Dewey w. Johnson who is now
deputy state insurance commissioner
and who served for several years in
the lower house of the State Legk-
lature from Minneapolis. Musical Sc
lectionS rounded out full evening.
Commissioner Benson said that the
American farmer didn't find it neces-
sary to consult technical experts III
1920 to know that something was
fundamentally wrong with our eco
nomic system. He knew that no mat
ter how hard he worked forces over
which he had no control made it i'm
possible for him to make a respect
able living. The farmer sounded a
profound warning in 1920 which, II
needed, might have prevented a de-
preston of such serious consequences
as the one we are experiencing today.
During all of the period from 1920
to 1888 the farmers of the northwest
were UP against a tough proposition.
The farmers were demanding a square
deal from the banks and public Of
ficials. But we as business men were
not willing to listen. We said the
farmer was lazy and extravaganza but
they knew they could not continue to
pay the interest on their loans and
continue to buy farm machinery. Re-
lief measures were vetoed by two
presidents
Too Much Expert Advice.
Going on Mr.. Benson said I'VE
should quit listening to the advice OF
big eastern bankers, industrial lead
ers and politicians We should not
rely too much on the so-called eX-
perts as to what's wrong with agricul-
ture, business and industry. We
should look around, ask our neigh
bors and find out for ourselves. If we
are going to rely on advice from out
side our own state and our own COM
munity, we are going to get into the
same difficulties we have faced all
these years
Mr.. Benson then showed how since
1929 practically all classes and
groups, with the exception of some
of the big capitalistic interests have
found themselves in exactly the same
economic status as the farmer. Per
sonal selfish interests have for the
most part caused the business man
the banker and the professional man
to join with the farmer in an effort
to find an intelligent solution to pres
| ent day problems

SWIVEL CHAIR
AV|ATORS HIT
IN NEW RULE
President Orders Actual Flying
Test for Army Air
Corps Officers
BY EARL GOODWIN
low history appears to repeat

HOW history appears to repeat
itself among the Roosevelts!
. Twenty-Five years ago "T. R."
was being cuSsed by obese Army
officers for having ordered hun.
dred-mile cavalry rides to test
their fitness.
Now comes another Roosevelt
and an order through his War
Secretary George Dern 10 test the
Army's aviation officers by .
series of actual flights.
Just as in the former Reose-
veltian era the public reaction
to the riding tests was one of
loud acclaim, there is exactly
the same feeling among the tax
paying members of the public
today. The public evidently dis
likes the idea of Swivel chair"
aviators, just as it disliked the
idea Of Swivel chair" Army Off
GERS Is years ago.
Approved by Dern
Secretary of War Dern has ap-
proved the present flying tests
which are designed to put the
efficient fliers in charge Of the
Army's air force; and to put the
inefficient ones on duty where
they will not clutter up the
flying fleet.
The matter is looked upon as
Of the utmost Importance in view
of the rapidly increasing impor-
tance of the air forces.
The air test will be somewhat
severe and all flying officers
must take it by June 80, the
end Of the current fiscal year;
after that the new Army appro-
priations will be in effect and
an improvement in the air corps
is looked for.
Night Flying Included
The tests now in force will
require a standard of flying
efficiency. There will be a mini
mum requirement of IS hours
navigation of Army airplanes, in
cluding at least one continuous
flight Of 500 miles with two land
ings.
Officers must also make at
least two flights Of not less than
200 miles over the Department
of Commerce airways, using avail
able radio navigation aids and
communications systems.
There also are requirements Of
ten hours night flying; five hours
formation flying; ten hours flying
by instrument guiding and this
includes five hours of so-called
blind flying"

PAY FIGHT
To Be PUSHED

President Roosevelt's recommen-
dation to Congress to defer restora,
ton of Federal pay until July l
has not materially changed the
favorable attitude in both Houses,
Claude Babcock, president of the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees, insisted today.
A new poll of members since
Congress convened shows a "de-
cided majority IN each branch in
favor of restoration retroactive to
January l." Mr.. Babcock said.
Presentation of the employees
demand for immediate repeal of
pay-cut legislation by Senator Pat
McCarran, scheduled for yester
day, was postponed until mex
week. Senator McCarran will place
the demand before the Senate's
subcommittee on deficiency appro-
priationS.
The postponement yesterday was
due to inability of several sub.
committee members to attend the
hearing.
The Washington times., 1935-01-19

IheSe puOuclCy MOUNDS OF ma
tional politics, as they have we'll
been described, can generally be
found on the so-called investigat.
ing committees of the two Houses.
The time was, in years gone by,
when an investigating committee
fairly and squarely attempted to
get at the truth of a public ques.
ton, to lay the foundation for
sound legislation, or to offer a
stimulus to effective administra.
tion. That time has gone by.
Millions of dollars of the peo-
pies hardearned money has been
squandered in recent Congresses
upon congressional Investigations
which were little more than a new
form of personal publicity rackets.
Not Worth Cost
A distinguished United States
Senator recently declared that no
investigating committee of either
House has been worth its cost to
the people of the United States
since the Teapot Dome scandal of
the Harding administration was
investigated by a Senate commit
tee.
The abuse of the investigating
power of the Senate and House in
recent years by mere publicity
seekers is in no small degree to
blame for the increasing con-
tempt in which the plain people of
the land hold these cheaper poll.
ticians who pose as national legis-
latorS, and serve as errand boys
for special interests of many sorts.
A free and fearless press may
some day rid the Congress Of these
expensive misfitS by subjecting
them to an investigation which
will give them publicity of a sort
they do not relish.
Questions Suggested
Here is a list of questions which
a loyal American voter in dis
tant State has suggested might
well be put to every member of
the Senate and House of Repre-.
SentativeS who comes up for elec-
ton:
l. Do you always put party
above country in your public
service?
2. Do you vote against your bet.
ter judgment for political rea-
sons?
3. Do you make campaign prom.
tSes that you know you cannot or
will not keep?
4. Do you make promises for
the purpose of obtaining votes,
knowing that such promises, If
carried out, would not be for the
best interests of the nation?
Have You Obligations?
S. Have you any obligations or
ties that prevent you from living
up to your oath of office in spirit
and letter?

100000 VISITORS
At AUTO SHOW
By DICK BAKER

Nearly 10000 persons have
passed through washington Audi
torium during the last week to
view the Fifteenth Annual Auto
mobile Show sponsored by the
Washington Automotive Trades
Association. The attendance rec
ord for the entire show week in
1884 was 1886.
The return of prosperity IS
making the show an outstanding
success, according to Manager
Dick Murphy, but mechanical i'm
provement in the machines them
selves has been an important
factor.
Never, during his Is years Of
automobile showing, has one
dealer seen such a buying disposi-
ton on the part Of the public.
Cars are not only being exhibited:
they are being sold.
For instance, here is a partial
record of actual Sales-contract
in hand-of some dealers during
the show:
Marc MenSh sold six Hupps;
Robert McReynoldS reports the
sale of 13 Grahams; Thomas
Randall says it's the best year
show and 18 Chryslers have been
sold; two Auburns to be deliv-
cred: Lee D. Butler says five
Studebakers are actually sold
and many others in line; Chevro-
let dealers have contracted to
deliver 1O5 cars to local pur-
charers; B. C. Jarbo sold three
Dodges yesterday; Kaplan and
Crawford, five. Dodges; Duke and
Otey, two Dodges, one Plymouth.
Wilbur Kolb reports 13 Bucks
sold by two dealers; L. B. Taylor
sold 4 Bucks; Warfield Motor
Company sold a Lincoln; F.. A.
Palmer reports the sale of 80
Pontiacs; Charles Molster, the
sale of 8 HudSons and Terra.
planes; Kempton sold 10 De Sotos.
Jack Hill has sold a total of
7 Fords during the week, prob
ably setting a high record among
individual statesmen. Five of his
sales were made in one day. The
total number of Fords sold thus
far is 90.
