The three men still in Congress
who voted against American partici-
patton in the World War listened to
Europe's screaming bugles yesterday
and urged once more that the United
States keep clear.
Il think America will keep out"
said Senator Norris, Republican. OF
Nebraska.
IT am genuinely disturbed over the
enormous increases in the appropria-
tions We are making for prepared
ness" Representative Knutson, Re-
publican, of Minnesota, declared.
There is hysteria throughout the
land" Representative Dundeen, Far

Norris PAGES Office.
Norris, one of six Senators who
opposed entry into the World War,
paced his Office almost excitedly as
he made known his views.
"All over the world except in the
United States the same feeling that
we saw just before the World War
prevails. People are going crazy, wild.
Il don't think they'll scare us into
another war though. We've had our
fingers burned. Practically every one
comedies that We should have kept
out of the last war. Look at what 1t
cost: the effects are still felt.
Il don't think there is any justi-
fication for any increase in the size
of our Army"
Knutson, publisher of the Wadena
Pioneer Journal, struck his glasses on
his forehead and puffed briar as he
spoke.
Il am at a loss to know against
whom We are arming." he said, "of
course, I would vote for war If the
United States were ever invaded and
| If I thought the supremacy of the
! white race was at stake. I am of the
opinion We need better understand
ing among the nations of the earth
rather than greater armaments."
"Hysteria Throughout Land"
Lundeen, who carried arms against
Spain and served nearly II years In
the Army before becoming a lawyer,
stopped the work of addressing nun
dreds of Agriculture Department year
books to his constituents to discuss
the situation.
In his shirt sleeves, he emphasized
his point with waving arms.
THE same propaganda that we had
for a war Of aggression in 1916 and
1917 Is on now. There is hysteria
throughout the land. I believe in

ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 30.-Three

Saltwater Prison was eXonorated OF

one Of the band held for the 5000, 900

On unimpeachable authority it was

The asserted confession clears up
the slayings of Patrolmen Leo Gorski

Hankins, a tall and strapping Ken

a reporter today and informed OF

POULTRY MEETING
SEPT. Is AND IA

Two meetings of interest to
Sheridan County poultry produc-
ers will be held next week. Miss
Cushman, Extension Specialist,
will be present to discuss problems
of poultry growers at this time.
A pullet culling demonstration
will be given at the Lars AngvlcK
farm southeast of Reserve, on FRI
day Sept. 10, at 1880 p. m. This
is a new practice which is being
used to reduce the cost of egg pro-
duction by eliminating the board
er pullet or non-proftable bird IN
the fall and thus save on feed and
labor.
On Saturday, Sept. IA, a meet
ing will be held at the Court Room
at $50 D. m. in Plentywood to dis
cuss Turkey marketing. Miss Cush
man has just returned from a trip
to the eastern markets especially
N. Y. C. to study Turkey Market
ing as it relates to Montana Pro
ducers. The facts learned will be
of assistance to Growers In this

r,,rP STEP TOWARD FASClSM

Zoo For instance. one half alcohol
roixed with gasoline makes motor
nars r1n faster and smoother and
c%eaner. There will be required ten
biIIion gallons of alcohol made
from four billion bushels of corn
double the present crop. Pipe to
convey water, gas, oil and electric
conduits is now made from cast
iron. steel or wood. 1t can be made
much cheaper, and to last indefi-
nitelv from plastic" material.
Plastic material can be compound
cd from several kinds of farm pro-
duce.
The list of what can be done
goes to considerable length. The
advent of a great chemical age is
ready to usher in. An abundance
for all can be produced-just turn
the philanthropic bankers ana In
dustrialists and their clique of
farming scientists loose and
Utopia will cease to be dream.
Chemistry Can Bring Plenty
This is Chemurgy. Scientists in
the chemical, biological and allied
fields have just discovered that
productivity and cheapness of pro-
duct-saving of energy expendi-
ture-is within our national grasp.
There seems to be no limit to what
can be done. Five years ago, Tech
nocrats made the same kind of dis
coveries in the fields of machines
and power. With little or no aid
from the chemical fraternity they
can also produce the Abundance
of which we have so often heard.
The Technocrats faced the facts.
They knew and said that Utopia
can never be ushered in under pro-
fit or capitalistic system. Pauper-
lied masses cannot pay cost, plus
a profit, for what the country pro-
duces now, let alone an output sew
eral times as large. The chemical
fraternity and its backlog of
banker-industrials are not so hon.
est. They unfold a vista of delight
full scientific probabilities-that
are only impossibilities under cap
italism. Lookss to us like nothing
more than another wedge inserted
along the drive to Fascism.

LOANS DECREASE
Federal Reserve Reports
Show Idle Money Piling
Up in Banks. Only One
Dollar in Eight Working.

Reserve System reports that loans
to business of the reporting mem
Der banks have declined to a new
low level for the depression. Bust
ness is not borrowing.
Indeed, the Federal Reserve re-
ports that but one dollar in eight
of its assets are loaned to bust
ness, three to the government and
nearly three to speculation.
The theory was that if the RFC
poured hundreds of millions of
taxpayers money into the banks,
the bankers would lend that money
to businessmen. the employers
would hire workers, and, 10, the
depression would be over. Gen
Charles G. Dawes preached that
as RFC chief. To prove it, he re-
signed from the RFC and borrow
ed 80 millions from it for his own
bank.
The banks are glutted with
funds. New York banks report ar
all-time high in deposits. Swollen
bank deposits have not ended de-
preston.

Wheat Cut Reduced

Bozeman, Sept. 4. - Sam l.
lor, director of extension at Mon
tana State college, says the change
in 1886 wheat planting made pos
sible by the Agricultural Adjust
ment administration placing the
1885 acreage adjustment at 8 per
cent instead of Is per cent is in
tended as an Offset to the severe
crop damage which occurred In
July. The action was taken to as
sure the consumers of the country
of continued ample supplies OF
wheat and to protect farmers a.
gainst another possible year OF
bad wheat weather. It means that
the individual farmer may plant
all but 5 per cent of his base acre
age instead of all but Is per cent,
as was originally planned before
the severe crop damage was shown
by the crop report for Aug. 1.
