INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Ordinarily, a national parliament
tary election does not command a
great deal of interest beyond the Dor
der lines of the country itself. but
with the election today of a new
British parliament it is a different
matter, for it takes place at time
when the international situation.
largely controlled by Great Britain, is
more acute than it has ever been
since the ending of the World war.
seventeen years ago. Briefly put, the
question at stake in the British Isles
today is that of continuing in power
the present National COVER nment,
strongly Tory. that is, markedly con-
servative-nOt, indeed. very far from
reactionary thrOwback.
According to all signs now evident
the National government will today
win victory which, in effect, is a
vote of confidence. And if that hap
pens. it will mean. further. stiffen-
ing of the British attitude toward
Italy because of her aggressive war
against Ethiopia.
One should always, for the sake of
more intelligent understanding. bear
in mind that the British government
has interested itself in the Italo-Ethi-
opian conflict not only because OF the
menace of a possible European war,
but also because the very existence of
the British empire-and it's road 70
India-may be at stake.
George Comes Back.
Pregnant with events is the presen:
week. for on Saturday George the Sec
ond, former king of Greece, is ex-
pected back at Athens in response to
an invitation extended him in conse-
quence of an overwhelming number of
Greek voters having cast their ballots
November 3 for the recall of their
eXiled monarch. The former--and
future-king is expected to leave Lon
don today for his capital. and a most
enthusiastic reception is being pre-
pared for him. Thus Greek republican
ism comes to an end-and it may be
that the change will mean more
stable conditions than those which
have prevailed during the greater
part of the twelve-year period elapsed
since George was kicked out of his
country.

WPA APPROVES
MORE PROJECTS
Eight New Programs Calling for En-
penditure of About $35,7S1 VIII be
Started in County Soon.

Pine county has eight new WPA
projects which call for an estimated
expenditure of $35,7S1, according to
an announcement by Victor Christgau,
Minnesota administrator, issued from
the Brainerd office of A. T. Gilbert
son, director of district No. 2. Re-
QUESTIONS and labor necessary to
carry on this work will be issued this
week through the office of F.. B. Whit
ney, Pine cOunty's assistant super
visor of projects and planning. 1t is
expected that men will go to work
within the next few days since the
funds necessary to start these pro-
jects have been allotted.
In district No. 2, composed of ~
counties in this section, this week
80 new projects were authorized for
immediate activity. These additional
projects, bringing the total in Dis
trict No. 2 to 1854. mean that $264,41
in new money will be spent, Ito end
the DOLE"
Most of the new projects in Pine
county are concerned with road con-
struction, there being one white
collar" job to improve the service and
facilities of the Hinckley public Ii
brary. The federal government has
allotted 1892 to pay the wages of one
person.
An especially worthwhile project,
soon to start. will put in new con-
crete floor and otherwise repair and
improve the cOunty's garage at Pine
City, the estimated cost of which is
$3.50.
Considerable Road Work.
The Pine county program approved
this week includes six road jobs
which are briefly summarized as fol-
lows:
Grading and surfacing roads in the
vicinity of the following descriptions:
Section 80, township 3S. range 20;
section 9, range As; section 9, town
ship As, range. 10; section 18, town.
ship 80, range 20; section 33, town
ship AZ, range 10; section y, town.
ship 40, range 90; and a road in the
vicinity of Rutledge. All of the money
for these road projects. totaling $780,
999, will come from WPA. Most of
the labor necessary will come from
the relief rolls, as basic WPA regula-
tiOns require.
"As our program develops" said
Mr.. Gilbertson Tuesday. 1--WE frequent
ly are being asked why it is neces-
sary to issue assignments only to per-
sons who have been on relief. I'm
less the undertaking is thoroughly
understood. the casual observer can
reasonably inquire as to why W rk OPP
portunities through WPA are not open
to any unemployed person instead Of
being confined to those on relief.
Heavy Demands.
Before this question can be an
swered it should be understood that
the single purpose of WPA is to sub
stitute for the dole, jobs which will
pay security wage. 1t should be
remembered that of the 1900 million
dollars appropriated for President
Roosevelt's recovery program, the
WPA program has been allotted but
$40 million dollars. With this money,

The attitude which a university
should assume with regard to any
political theory is matter of SUI
preme Importance to its existence.
AS a matter of fact, the attitude
which a university may assume with
regard to any public matter needs
to be carefully defined and clearly
understood | tried to define this
attitude last spring at the HOnor's
day convocation at the university
| do not believe that the univer-
sity should carry on prOpa ganda in
favor of any program. The university
is a teaching and research institu-
ton. 1t should undertake to discover
new knowledge, and it should weigh
every fact, every theory, and every
program that in any way effects
human welfare.
This means that it should be en-
gagged in a constant appraisal of the
yortnnc nfo1 nhi1ncnn Nh inC
that are now contending for world
supremacy: democracy, militaris m,
fascism, nazism, communism. Its
evaluation of these PHILOSOPHERS
should not be for the purpose of get
ting converts, but for the purpose of
understanding the PHILOSOPHERS.
Should Avoid Bias.
No educational institution worthy
of the name should send it's grad
yates into the world biased in mind
as to any theory. doctrine or pro-
gram. No university should engage
socialists to teach socialism, nor fas-
cists to teach fascism.
At a time when academic free

throughout the world, when informed
opinion is being stifled by force,
when advertisements and propaganda
offer prizes or extol those who are
willing to stultify their intellectual
consciences, it is we'll that we recall
these matters.
No one knows where the next blow
will be struck. Two years ago Ger
man scholarship was free; now it is
manacled. No premium is placed on
intellectual honesty in either Russia
or Italy. We must not deceive our
selves-popular hysteria or mass in
sanity may appear in other places.
Brands Charge Absurd.
The charge is sometimes made that
the university is saturated with pro-
fessors of socialistic and commun-
istic leanings. The charge. of course,
is absurd.
1t would be strange, however, if
there weren't some members of the
staff who were liberal as to politics;
some of them. dare say, are very
liberal | doubt myself whether there
is a single person in the entire staff
of about 1000 persons who believes
in communism as a solution for the
political problems of the world.

 Obsolete and Inappropriate

With particular reference to the recent polemical and disputateous controversy over the merits and de- merits of the Federal enactment whereby Alaska was excepted from a general law eXempting owners of mining claims from the assessment work requirement for the current year, I am prompted to suggest, with appropriate diffidence and sub ject to correction, that the present system is utterly lacking in logic or common sense, is obsolete, inappro- priate to existing conditions and provocative of wholesale Justification and actual perjury, of expensive and usually fruitleSs prosecutions and avails not in the slightest degree to accomplish it's original purpose to- wit:
 To prospecting, development and operation of the mining resources which constitute so vital a portion of the Nations wealth.

For Holding of Property


 Necessarily I refer to that class of so-called assessment work that is done merely for the purpose of holding the property, usually for speculation purposes.
 The class of work referred to has, in fact, a deleteriouS effect, in that it operates to prevent honest, eff cient and ambitious miners and pro spectors who are sheered off of re- presented ground upon which they would be willing and even eager to take chance.
 That the system in vogue tends to prevent rather than encourage. de- velopment, permits the acquisition and retention for long periods, of vast areas of mineralized ground and retards progress, can hardly be controVerted, hence, as some method should be devised to avoid this con- dition and bring about more logi- cal and sensible status of affairs, l tentatively tender and invite crit icism of, the following suggestions,
