INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG sTRANDvOLD

Effects of the speech made by Adolf
Hitler before the German parliament
on May 81 are now being registered
in the foreign ministries of the great
powers -generally-it is felt
that his statement was a calm. log
zeal and moderate one. Indicating a
conciliatory spirit rather than irritat-
ing impetuosity.
He was willing, he said, to enter
into nOn-aggression treaties with all
countries. except Lithuania; would
join mutual security agreements as
long as they did not imply support
by the military forces of Germany
and as long as they did not make it
necessary for Germans to fight side
by side with Russian communists; he
would, above all. like to promote the
cause of international disarmament.
and was willing to discard all ma
chimes and implements designed for
major offensive warfare, if the other
powers would assure him they would
do likewise: he would undertake to
respect all international treaties
which Germany signed voluntarily:
would respect Germany's present
boundaries. and would. some day. re-
serve the right to demand the re-
storation of colonies lost as a result
of the world war.
Reception of Speech.
In the British press and cabinet
circles the Hitler speech was con-
sidered a constructive effort which
may lead to an early conference on
the problem of an air limitations
agreement. and which was likely to
pave the way for several other con-
ferenceS aiming at the preservation
of European peace.

favorable comments; the Partisan

Standings of the Teams.

Willow River and Denham did not
play their baseball game Sunday be-
cause of wet grounds, but it will be
played today Thursday. All the
other teams played and the list has
simmered down to the point where
Sturgeon Lake and the N. p. S. Club
lead the League with two victories
each and no defeats.
Sturgeon Lake won from ASkov in
closely fought game by a score
of to 2; Sandstone defeated Rutledge
Is to II and the N. P. S. Club was
victorious over Brook Park 10 to 6.
In the Askov- Sturgeon Lake game
Jack Cunningham, smuggling first
baseman for the Lakers, hit home
run and John Balich, stocky catcher
for Askov also did himself some glory
three baggerS, which could have been
home runs had the field been more
dry and fit for baseball. Gay of Stur-
geon Lake, big former football and
baseball star of the University of Min
nesOta, also hit for three bases.
Lundgren for Askov struck out seven
batsmen and scattered the 10 hits
which his opponents made so that
minimum of runs were scored. The
Anderson brothers of Sturgeon did
their usual effective work on the
mound, with Mack, who relieved his
brother late in the game, getting eight
strikeOuts!
Following are the box scores:

PREPAREDNESS
DEBATED HERE
A. VI. SimOnSen and A Minneapolis
Speaker Discuss Popular QueS.
tiOn Tuesday Night.

A fair sized crowd gathered in the
Askov Assembly hall Tuesday night
to listen to the public debate between
A. M. Simonsen of Askov and Norman
Bernick of the Minneapolis Commit
tee of the League Against War and
Fascism. The question was, RE
solved: Preparedness Leads to War"
Mr.. Bernick. taking the affirmative
side, attempted to show that prepar-
edness resolves itself into race to
see which nation can get ready for
war first. Each tries to outdo the
other. Then when one nation sees
chance to get the drop on the 9TH
ers, thinking they are not as fully
prepared, there is war.
The affirmative speaker called at
tention to William Randolph Hearst,
the present war agitatOr, as being
the same Hearst who wired one of
his correspondents at the time of the
Spanish-American war: you Give
Me the News and I'll Deliver the
War" Propaganda is what helps to
bring the wars, said the speaker. He
advocated organization of the farmers
and workers against it and admOn-
ished his listeners that a gun shoots
both ways and if necessary the
masses should overthrow the govern
ments of nations at war.
The Negative.
Mr.. Simonsen stated that war is
| hxyh rf tIyhi or
| floods, etc., also destroyers of humans,
are acts of God. He gave complete
history of the traits of the human
race and showed what preparedness
against war could accomplish. The
hearts of the people should be in
stilled with the spirit of right and
this in itself would be a preventative
of war. In a world where might is
master of right, passive resistance
must be taught and the truth of what
is right must be brought to the peo-
pie. He stated that nation should
be prepared against war, that is. pre-
pared to the extent that it can de-
fend itself in time of aggression.
| Mr.. Simonsen spoke of the creed
of the League Against War and Fas-
cism as being idealistic and no good
in a world of materialism. Idealism
might be all right in art, but not in
dealings with nations. He advocated
that it is cheaper for a nation tc
prepare to keep out of war than II
is to pay for cost of war when we
get into it.
After the debate questions were
asked the speakers and ice cream
was sold to help defray expenses Of
the visiting speaker and for the hall

THE SALES TAX
Sentiment of People Rallies
Support of Special Elec-
ton Petition.
Minnesota BOr d er Sentl-
ment is Agreeable to the
Governors Veto.
BY HENRY G. TEIGAN

Moorhead, Minn.:-Well, the peo-
pie of this part of the country are not
for the sales tax. A days soJourn
here and across the line into North
Dakota has convinced me of that.
The folks here at Moorhead are
glad they didn't get it and those IN
North Dakota are sorry they got 1t.
The protestations of Fargo and Val
ley City people indicate that very DEL
initely.
The writer has seen many political
shifts during the past twenty years
but it is doubtful whether any one
thing has ever operated to chanSe
public sentiment as the recent sales
tax legislation has done. That it has
practically destroyed the Republican
party in Northwestern Minnesota Is
more than obvious. The merchants
i'm the towns bordering North Dakota
have all but unanimously turned their
backs upon the G. o. P.
Editors Voice Opinions.
In commenting upon the changed
sentiment among the merchants,
John A. Whaley, editor of the Country
Press at MoOrhead. predicts that the
Farmer-LabOr ticket will carry his
home town by margin of three TO
one at the next election. 1T is dit
ficult TO find a defender of the sales
tax in MoOrhead," he said. And
nearly all of the businessmen have
good words to say of Governor Floyd
B. Olson for having vetoed the BILL
The same view is held by Wayne
Peterson, publisher of the Moorhead
Daily News Prior to the passage
of the so-called omnibus tax bill by
the legislature group of our bus
inessmen got together to ascertain
the views of people in this cOmmun-
ity on the measure and we could not
find a man in favor of it except a
few large real estate owners, he

ground that it provided an unjust

|ASKOV PLAYS HOST TO LARGE
GATHERING LAST THURSDAY
John Brandt Gives Prnci-
pal Address at the
Banquet.

The banquet, which was held in the
evening and the food of which was
furnished by the Askov Ladies' Aid,
was attended by about 200 people. Mr..
and Mrs. Erling Nielsen furnished viO-
lin and piano music during the dinner
hour after which Mrs. Alfred Nielsen
led singing of several of the Land
O'Lakes pep songs. Chris Eriksen
was called upon as mayor of Askov
and did so in a few words, after
which there was a tap dancing num-
Der by Miss Mavis Conway accC mpa-
MED by the Misses Eleanor and Mar
garet Miller with singing and guitar
music, and contortion act. After
this number Mrs. Svend Petersen sang
two solos, which was followed by an
Andy and Madam Queen tap dance
by the Misses Mertes Johnson and
Wanda Jacobsen.
Svend Petersen was then called
upon to say a few words which he
did in usual entertaining style. He
left a thought by saying that after
used we would come back to the three
"Rs''-Relief, Reform and Remune-
ration.
l.. o. L. President Speaks.
John Brandt, president and man
ager of the Land O'Lakes Creameries,
gave the principal address and after
striking the audiences jOvial side
with a few jokes launched into an in
teresting address as to the manage
ment of the Land O'Lakes and gave
fine compliment to the buttermakers
of the organization.
He complimented Art Rentz, former
field manager of District No. 2, and
stated that the work which he die
in the district and that which haC
been accomplished did not just hap
pen, it took work and cooperation tC
do it.
Many times before the present setur
and installation of accurate equip
ment in our cooperative creameries
we have given overweight, said the
speaker, but stated that now Land
O'Lakes takes out less butter from
its print room than it puts in from
it's creameries, because there is such
accurate work done in the creameries
by the operators. He compared this
situation to that of buying butter or
the open market when it is possible
to take a great deal more from the
print room than has been paid for
He spoke of this situation in the light
that some one has to pay for thai
Overweight. The creameries who give
the overweight cannot stand the ex
pense of giving away that butter
therefore it must be necessary fol
them to make up for it either in the
test or the price. You can't give ava!
weight unless you get it somewhere
and that would be from the farmers
can of cream. Mr.. Brandt praised the
close supervision which it is possible
to give by having an organization
like Land O'Lakes, and said tina
there would be no question as to low
atty if everyone understood. Mr.

editor of the AskOv American, was
called upon to welcome the visitors
after which a roll call was made by
the secretary. A good representation
of delegates was present.
Ben Lindvig, field manager of the
district, gave an account of the work
of the district included in which he
stated that the production this veal
had dropped off from that of the same
period of 1894, but this was mostly
due to the shortage and quality OF
feed. Mr.. Lindvig stated that Dis
trict No. huttermakers are LEADING

was called or for a few words. Mr.
Dean told of the early days of the
Askov community when he first cam
