ly hopeful, and efforts are being
strenuously continued to effect this
expansion of the program which has
been adhered to so far this winter.

In defeating the World Court proto-
col, which would have provided that
the United States adhere to the World
Court. of International Justice, the
Roosevelt administration undeniably
suffered major rebuff at the Senate's
hands. The House of Representatives,
of course, had no voice in this mat
ter, because treaties with foreign ma
lions become effective when confirmed
by a two-thirds vote of the Senate.
And the advocates of the proposal
failed to get the necessary two-thirds.
The rejection of the protocol was a
decided victory for those who enter
tain the opinion that the United Safes
should avoid, as far as possible, for
eign entanglements. Both Minnesota's
Senators, Shipstead and Schall, OPP
posed the proposal. 1t is of interest
to note that Senators Hiram Johnson
and Norris, both of whom were active
New Dealers in the past campaign
and who had the open favor of the
administration, voted against it, while
Senator Cutting, whom the admin
stration tried to unseat, supported the
proposal. That is living up to their
reputation for independence.
The functions of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, the super-loan-
ing agency of the government, have
been extended for two years under the
provisions of bill which passed both
Houses of Congress in a most limited
length Of time. Ordinarily a bill of
such importance would have been CIV
en- far more consideration by the Con-
gress, but because the functions of the
RF'C would automatically have termi-
mated on January 81, it was necessary
to act promptly in order to continue
the huge corporations very life, and
clothe its activities with legality. Con-
sequently, the administration forces
united in fastening enactment and in
voting down amendments, regardless
of their purpose or intent.
1t may be remembered that the
original act was amended last year
to permit loans to be made to private
industry, but with the restriction that
such loans could only be made to cor
porations that were actually in exist
ence at the time. The purpose Of the
restriction of course was to prevent
loans for the purpose of creating new
business to compete with those al
ready trying to exist. Now, however,
this restriction is removed, and many
industries are much concerned over
what may result. Minnesota may
we'll look at one of her already strugg-
ling industries, the paper and pulp
mills, which by this action is threat
ened with new competition from the
South.

THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
BY CONG. JOHN PAUL KvALE

While the House has proceeded
rather leisurely to consider and pass
an appropriation bill, the one carry
ing the funds for the Treasury and
Post Office departments, anxious eyes
have been fastened upon the Senate,
where the World Court debate has
shared the stage with the huge work
relief bill that also carries the money
which is needed for relief purposes
between now and the first of July.
For all sections of the country, but
especially for drouth areas such as
western Minnesota, this represents the
all-important news out of Washington.
Funds which are now available under
law will have been completely eX-
pended in a weeks time, and the bill
has not yet been reported. Naturally
enough, no one can justifiably criti-
cize the FERA or any of its execu-
tives, here in the policy-making Of
fees or in the field, for being unable
to announce future plans for special
drouth relief or emergency relief I'M
til the administration can know what
limitations or restrictions will be i'm
posed upon them by the Congress.
And rumor has it that the Senate is
determined to limit some of the blan-
ket authority that the House granted
in the measure which it speedily
passed under gag.

Unfortunately, that does not relieve
the situation as far as drouth-stricken
areas are concerned, or as far as
bread-lines in the industrial and con-
gested metropolitan districts are con-
cerned. There the stark reality faces
them of the sudden and the complete
drying up Of the funds which, while
inadequate in many places, neverthe-
less have meant at least the necessary
food, feed. fuel and supplies to pre-
serve life. So with such spur. there
will be desperate effort to get the
bill through the Senate and to the
desk of the President within the next
few days.
Then will come the real problem for
the offices of Relief Administrator
Hopkins, Secretary Wallace, and his
AAA advisors, and the others who
have been conducting the constant
conferences during the last weeks in
order to have sufficient and speci-
fic program ready when the money
was made available. The writer has
been privileged to be called in to
several of these consultations, which
have also included field men who have
been called in to testify regarding last
minute news about conditions and
suggestions for procedure. AS soon
as the bill is made law, it is hoped
that steps will be taken without de-
lay to bring real relief to these areas.
Some progress has been made in
convincing the administration that the
mere saving of the so-called "subsist-
ence herds" of dairy cattle is an eco
nomic crime, and that it is good
sense and good economy to expand the
relief program sufficiently so that
farmers who have worked consistently
for generation to build up the quail
ity and the breeding Of a herd to the
point where the herd is well above
normal in milk production records
will not have to see this great asset
melt away for lack of support. Wheth-
err the aid will come through some
F'CA agency in the form of loan.
or through the relief offices in the
form of loan that can be repaid
through work, has not yet been finally
determined. For that matter, it is
not yet certain that this can be
achieved in any form. But the
outlook as this is written is distinct

Last Friday the basketball fans
witnessed two of the fastest games
played on the home floor this year.
In the second team game the boys
showed more polish and better ball
handling than in any of the previous
games. The game was no walk-away
but taxed every trick that the boys
knew. The final score was II to Z,
with AskOv carrying the long end.
The first team game was perhaps
more exciting since Willow River
started out with a three.point lead in
the first few minutes and held the
lead till the quarter. In the second
half the Askov boys played a more
offensive game and booted the score
up to Is to ii i'm their favor when the
final whistle blew. Willow River de-
serves lots of credit for their strong
defense.

MCIt llttle lHClucuCS nave OCCuIIcu
in our school life during the last few
weeks than seem possible.
First: Mother Nature sent so much
snow on Wednesday, Jan. Is, that
school was closed for the day. How
ever, it proved to be not only one day
but the two following days and the
next week also.
Second: When we returned on Mon
day, Jan. %, we all expected to settle
down to a set of hard examinations.
The instructors, however, postponed
the examinations until Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Third: The school board considered
it advisable to open school at $50
and leave only 80 minutes for lunch
con hour. This new schedule was in
force until Tuesday. There was then
no longer any necessity for changed
schedule as all roads were open except
three miles in Finlayson township.
These will be opened shortly, we
hope.
Last, but not least-the report
cards! Each student now knows
whether he passed. But he does not
know just how much Tommy beat
him nor how he ranked according to
Mary's grades.
"Grades."
A series of standardized tests were
submitted to the seventh grade re-
Gently, covering the subjects of read
| ing, language, literature, history and
civics, geography, physiology and n.y.
giene, and arithmetic. The tests are
mainly for the purpose of measuring
the pupils achievement as compared
with other schools of the state. They
are not yet completed, however. Tests
of this nature will be given in other
grades also.
Need for Traffic Regulation.
There are some people in this world
that wonder why we have traffic laws
and regulations.
The automobile is here to stay, sc
people must be trained to know their
dangers and guard against them
especially young people. Statistics
show that young drivers cause large
proportion of accidents. Many efforts
are made to induce people to use COM
mon sense when driving or walking
Traffic regulations, if properly OBJ
served, play a large part in helping
to decrease accidents. Traffic is an
ancient problem. In ancient Rome
many, many years ago, before the days
of the auto, there was a need for
traffic laws
Several methods have been employ
ed to help prevent accidents before
they happen. Auto clubs, railroad or
CARNATIONS, safety councils, etc, have
done their bit in order to warn mo-
florists to play safe and save lives
1t is therefore of great importance
that people awake to the fact that
there are traffic Laws and regulations
that must be observed, however trivial
they may SEEM
