it was further accentuated when the
League council met for it's quarterly
session last Friday: 1t had invited
Germany to join, and Germany tartly
replied that for reasons of principle
she could not do so.
1t will be recalled that in October
OF 1888 Germany gave notice of re-
firing from League of Nations mem
bership because the former Entente
nations declined to release her from
the army limitation clauses of the
peace treaty. Germany's point was
that at the time when she was forced
to practically disarm, the World war
urate corresponding disarmament.
Having failed to keep their promise,
they have violated the treaty, accord
ing to Germ any-conseQuen it is
only fair for Germany to ask for a
larger army, especially in view of the
undenied fact that other nations are
more heavily armed than ever before.
Possibilities.
While Germany's attitude is not ap-
proved, it is understood, and an indi-
cation of this appears in the British
suggestion that Germany be permitted
to rearm if she, in return, will cancel
her League resignation.
All foreign ministers realize that
the European work of the League will
be more or less futile with Germany
out. On the other hand, Germany Is
absolutely firm in declaring that she
will withdraw from the League next
Observation-Disclosures requiring two
years notice-unless her rearmament
claims are recognized. Therefore, the
feeling now grows that it will be nec-
essary to make some concessions to
Germany. How far the other powers
are prepared to go if, indeed, they
are prepared to go anywhere, cannot
now be said. The presumption is,
until further notice, that in the end
Great Britain, France and Italy will
grant the German demands, and that
as a consequence, Germany will re-
main a League member.
But it will take lot Of discussion
to arrive at this goal.

White House for the Presidents nee
essary approval before it could be-
come law, his advisors told him he
must veto it because 1t broke the
constitutional requirement that all
revenue-raising measures. must orig
mate in the lower body of Congress.
By that time, Congress had adjourned.
So, having the approval of every
one in the Department of Agriculture
and the AAA including Secretary Wal
lace himself, the unanimous support
of committees and the entire men,
bership of Congress, the Senator now
undertakes to repeat his fight to see
that the farmer is the beneficiary Of
the spirit of the AAA, namely, that
he be given the benefit of parity prices
on what he has to buy as we'll as
on what he receives for his products.
1t is admitted that it only corrects
an error in the reading of the orig
inal AAA act. And there are bright
prospects of early and of favorable
action in Congress. That will make
another fine feather in the Shipstead
hat.
1t is an interesting afterthought to
note that the Senator get his idea
after House and Senate conferees had
rejected an amendment, passed by the
Senate and added to a House bill,
providing that farmers should be
guaranteed their cost of production.
1t was dropped when conferees said
that could not be arrived at for any
certain commodity. And the House
therefore never had the chance to
vote upon the amendment the Senate
had added to the bill, despite the
widespread feeling for it. Shipstead,
undismayed, decided to enter the back
door If they closed the front, and the
bill which has just been described
roughly is the result 1t will be ana
lyzed in further detail in later let
ter.

FARM HOLIDAY NEWS
BY H. SANDELL, Secretary.

The meeting held last Friday at
Hinckley, was to our estimation
real success. The following organi-
cations were represented: Holiday
Association, Taxpayers League, United
Farmers League and Farmer-Labor
Association; considering these four or
CARNATIONS we feel that the farmers
in Pine county were well represented.
Resolutions were brought up and
peacefully discussed and real har-
mony prevailed during the meeting.
This, friend and foe, is what brings
results when we can show that we
can stick together on vital issues,
there is nothing worse than when
different organizations are antagon-
izing each other trying to make gain
by so doing, which will rather spread
discord and split in what is already
built up. Keep up the good work and
we shall win
demanding abolishing of the unit sys-
tenn and that enough feed be supplied
for all farmers cattle without dis
elimination, to be paid off in kind
or work at standard wages, and farm
ers with less than ten units be given
five days work per month and paid
cash for such work besides feed relief.
This should prove that we do not
approve of "doles" but want a fair
deal
A resolution was adopted demand
ing two year extension of moratorium
law but more effective.
A resolution adopted demanding cid
peoples pension and social, and I'M
employment insurance, and that pro-
visions be made to take care of such
by taxation on wealth, such as in
heritance, gift, and incomes in higher
brackets, and going on record being
opposed to any such measures If to
be provided by a sales tax.
A resolution demanding retension
of the 1893 and 1884 motor vehicle
license tax, except that licenses of
the lower price be reduced, and motor
vehicles of five ton or more in capa-
city be substantially increased.
Another joint meeting will be called
in the near future. Please make ar
rangement to be represented, by that
time we will know what favors we
can look for from the new legislation.

Drive Slowly.

II you were suddenly told that a
city of 1000 would be wiped out
every year in the United States, you
naturally wouldn't believe it. Yet,
that is exactly what happens every
year. During the Last recent years
an average of 1854 persons have
been killed each year. Minnesota
alone accounted for almost 5000.
War is a horrible manslaughtering
device! In the six major wars in
which the United States has partici-
pated-The American Revolution, War
of 1912, the Mexican War, the Civil
War; the Spanish-American War, and
the World War-Americans killed in
action or from wounds numbered 300,-
900. Yet in fifteen years, amounting
to duration of these six years, Amer
leans killed in auto accidents or in
juries therefrom number $4,000.
We stop and wonder why so many
accidents occur. Statisticians have
shown that only five per cent of all
accidents are caused by Mechanical
defects. What, then, causes the re-
manning ninety-five per cent? Man
failures! The major cause, statistics
have shown, is driving too fast for
conditions. The lack of an under
standing of the correct use of the
right of way appears to be the second
great cause. Twenty-Five per cent of
the accidents are caused by disregard
of practical and legal rights Of others.
Another cause is failure to recognize
the mandatory stops.
Complete stops must be made under
the following conditions:
a. When directed to do so by traf-
fic sign or officer.
b. Upon the approach of an ambu-
Lance, police, or fire department.
c. When entering a thru" high
way with stop" sign.
d. When overtaking a street car
about to stop or receive and discharge
passengers, at least 10 feet in the
rear, except in clearly marked safety
zones.
Q. When about to cross a railway
grade crossing and a train immedi
ately approaching.

driving tractor or caterpillar.

"CRAZY LAND"

Have you ever been to Crazy Land,
Down on the LOoney Pike?
There are the queerest people there
You never saw the like.
The ones that do the useful work
Are poor as poor can be,
And those who do no useful work
All live in luxury.
They raise too much in Crazy Land
OF food and clothes and such,
That those who work don't have enough
Because they raise too much.
They're wrong side to in Crazy Land
They're upside down with care
They walk around upon their heads
With feet up in the air.

The suit filed in Cleveland yester-
day to prevent a steel company mer-

Of the administration to change the
antitrust sections Of the recovery act.

during the next week or SO. In au-
thoritatWe quarters, it was said they
would be mostly changes which would
clarity existing laws, but Senator Rob-
inSon of Arkansas, the Democratic
leader, predicted there would be pro-
visions against unfair competition.
The antitrust laws were suspended
in part under the recovery act and
the suspension left some experts in
doubt whether the trade commits
sion. the N r. A or the Justice
Department had jurisdiction over anti
monopoly actions and just what they
could do about preventing mergers.
Amid the discussion over n. r. A.
revision, Thomas NJ. Girdler, president

TUGWELL TO REMAIN.
Frank to Be Offered New Place in
Administration.

BY the Associated Press.
Rexford G. TugWeE, close friend of
jerome Frank, ousted A. A. A. coun-
sci. returned to Washington yester-
day, and after a conference with Presi-
dent Roosevelt, the word was passed
that Tugwell would remain as Under
secretary of Agriculture.
Authoritative sources also said
Frank would be offered another
position with the Government.
Whether he would accept remained
to be determined, but friends thought
he would.
TugWell was in Florida when he
first heard of the shake-up which
resulted in Franks resignation and
that of other A. A A. lawyers and
officials. Tugwell started for Wash
ington almost Immediately and went
to the White House only few hours
after his return.
Some of his friends felt before
hand that the parley might result in
the resignation of the man blamed
by the conservatives for many admin
lstration proposals they dislike.
Tugwell was not told of the move
ment against Frank and his fol-
lowers until the designations actually
had been requested.
