Counter Charge Made by French
 German Object
(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
 PARIS, Oct. IA, Germany's off cial protest that French Commun ist leader had "insulted" Adolph Hitler evoked counter charges today from French leftists that the Reich had "meddled" in French internal affairs.
 The communist party called Germany's action an "intolerable intrusion and announced that it would publish the full text of the speech by the party's secre- tary, General Maurice Thorez, which German officials said con- tained the remark derogatory to Hitler.
 The Berman protest, delivered orally by its Charge D'Affaires at Paris, to a French foreign office official, led to fears that Germany might seize the alleged insult as justification for not attending any future Locarno conference.

 From the beginning, the New Deal has been assisted by the worst form of capitalism, in an effort to destroy competition in this country. That sort of cap- italism join communism at that point, too, to destroy competi- ton. Anybody who expects some thing for nothing, is all the bet ter for being disappointed.
 What disturbs me is that the New Deal is now making to Workmen, the same impossible promises it made to the business man. I doubt if American mech anics are going to regard fifteen dollars month, 25 years from now, as very much social security. Pretending to create security for a selected class, in an insecure sy stem, is a cruel joke, especially when you take their money for 1t" said Ford.

 The unions, through their ne gotiating committee, advised the U. s. Maritime Commission they were willing to extend the truce from October 18th to October 26, eff the commission can assure that the same will be fruitful"
 In internationally accepting the extension of the truce prior to union action, employers ad- vised the Maritime Commission, they have now considered your commission is assuming full re- sponsibility for bringing about a permanent solution, without the interruption to commerce"

 LONDON, Oct. II, - Moiseye- vich Kagan, Russian representa- tive, presented a second protest note to Lord Plymouth, chairman of the Spanish on-intervention committee Tuesday.
 The note asked that the com mittee be reconvened at the ear- list possible date to consider az ain, Russian protests that Ger many, Italy and Portugal aided the Spanish fascists in direct vio lation of the neutrality pact.
 The new note which was not circulated among members of the committee authoritatively was understood to present concrete proposals designed to prevent future violations of the agree ment. "It was recalled that the official communique issued after last weeks committee meeting on the Russian charges said in view of the fact that no concrete pro- posals were before the committee on the occasion, no action could be taken on the statement made by the Russian representative.' !"

Youth America Importance In
 Future Ideals
(By The Associated PresS)

KANSAS CITY, Oct. IA Pres ident Roosevelt told an audience here late today that the most sat isfactory accomplishment of the New Deal was the conservation of the youth of America.
 The civilian conservation corps, he said, was the administration s first move toward economic and social rehabilitation. The cost has been great, he admitted, but said there were non who could deny it's value in removing from the highways and box cars, the rowing bands of youths, impover- ished by economic collapse and disillusioned in spirit.
 "Our fight-yours and mine, is to keep our democracy safe by keeping it moving forward,' he said, in ringing challenge at the conclusion of his address.
 Tn such a fight it is an unhap- py place to be on the sidelines. To the young people of America l say "join with us-ours is the real struggle to continue and pre- serve democracy in America"
 In giving an account of his stewardship of American youth, MT. Roosevelt made an implied attack on Governor Ali M. Lan- don for his economy program toward the schools in Kansas.
 "There was unfortunately for a long time in the high places of government in Washington school of thought, that human waste was the concern only of private char ity and local communities" he said.
 "We no longer believe that human beings hit by flood, drou- ght, unemployment or any oth- CT elemental disaster, be left to themselves with the sole hope of such charity as may be made loc- ally available to them. It may not be enough to go around, de- clared the President.

 MANILA, Oct. IA, As dawn was breaking through starlit sky, this morning, H R Ekins, leader in the round the world race between three New York newspaper writers, took off on the first leg of his flight to San Fran cisco by Pan American Clipper.
 The New York World Telegram writer had only a 600 mile lead on his two rivals, Leo Kieran of the New York Times and Doro- thy Kilgallen of the New York Evening Journal and INS Ser vice, as they neared Manila aboard the steamer President Pierce from Hongkong.
 Had the Clipper been delayed much longer by typhoons which have postponed it's departure two days, they might have caught Ekins and reduced the race to a neck and neck affair again.

ANOTHER KIDNAP.CASE

During the past week Tacoma,
Wash, lad of ten was taken from the
porch of his own home by lone alb
ductor and is being held, according
to reports, for $4,000 ransom. AS
has been many times stated, this form
of crime is the most repulsive For
fear of causing harm to the one taken,
loved ones will go almost to any
length to appease the kidnapers. This
form of criminal is so low that the
death penalty holds no fear for him.
He is tie type who would strike a
baby or choke the breath from its
body just to take it's candy; and he
is the type that is to be the undoing
of organized crime in the world
Of course it is presumed we will
always have some form of crime, but
the recent drives made by the Omen
on kidnapers and desperate criminals
shows what an aroused citizenry can
and will do.
Then of course we must get at the
seat of crime. We can chase down
criminals until doomsday and still
have criminals to chase down. We
must get at the cause. 1t possibly
cannot be entirely erased but condi-
tions in the hideout centers can be
cleaned up and improved until this
form of human life will be bred at a
minimum
Too many cities harbor criminals
by an eye-closed policy. Every police
man can tell you just where it is
safe to walk after dark in any city
and just where it is not safe and it
has always been mystery why they
do not clean up those places which
are harboring the bad element. We
certainly would not leave a serpent in
our basement; we would get help and
remove him. Too many police de-
partments are tied in with corrupt
politics and the result is that the
criminal is harbored.

we gain concessions from one ma
ton, while making concessions to
practically all other nations pur-
chasing and exporting any given
commodity"
The fact is that benefitting coun-
try by engaging in foreign trade is
something that is about obsolete. All
nations are getting self-sustaining In
the matter of goods and merchandise
and all are getting to the point where
they have surplus to sell under this
competitive system of private indus
try, and no place to go with that sur
plus. The tendency of statesmen in
the United States has been to sacrifice
the interests of the farmers by per-
hitting foreign nations favorable
opportunity to ship their farm pro-
ducts to this country in return for an
opportunity to ship industrial products
to such other countries. In the Ions
run the shipping of a nations re-
sources to some other nation merely
meant that they were losing some
thing that could never be replaced
1t is one of the great faults of a
private profit competitive system.

malodorance, we already had recog-
nized it as one of the outstanding
flowers of the United States. How
ever, this flower had another fault in
addition to bad-smelling foliage. 1t
was late-flowering and sometimes
would be killed by frost before it
came into full bloom. When we be-
gan the tremendous task of develop
ing new, more acceptable type of
Marigold, early in 1882, it was neces-
sary for us to eliminate both these
faults through cross-breeding and the
process of selectivity.
Through our agents without port
folio, in far-off lands, we began
searching the swamps, plains, noun
tains and forests for a marigold with
out the offensive plant Odor. This was
indispensable to breeding" Bur-
pee explained.
I'VE correspondent with flower col
lectOrs, gardeners, fanciers and scien-
lists from India to England, in the
meanwhile.
But the turning point i'm our work
came October 16, 1888, in the form of
a battered, stamp-plastered letter
from the Tibetan border in central
China" Burpee narrated, his face
lighting with enthusiasm at the pleas
antly exciting memory. The letter
was from a missionary who lived ID
days journey from the end of the rail-
road. He wrote that he had discov-
cred a marigold such as he had never
seen before 1t was scrawny and
lacking in floral beauty, but it also
was devoid of the unpleasant foliage
odOr common to most marigolds. Well,
we figuratively fell upon his neck and
Immediately wired him to send the
seeds of his strange discovery"
The wild Chinese marigold had
three major faults which had to be
corrected through the various biolog-
ical processes. 1t was small, late
Towering, and scrawny-lacking char
acter.
When the work of developing this
new-type marigOld was entering the
final stage, the common honeybee, an
invaluable assistant in the ordinary
development of flowers, proved to be
one of the most serious obstacles to
the successful completion of the ex-
pertinent.

ARTHUR BRISBANE

Death has again removed a figure
from the public horizon of the ma
ton and in this instance it was Ar
thur Brisbane, newspaper columnist.
Mr.. Brisbane died following heart
attack at the age of 72, but he was
active until the last.
The famous columnist will be
missed by daily newspaper readers
because of the absence of his column
entitled, To-day" Even though he
was disagreed with by many, very
few will say that they did not add
mire some of his writings. He had
a style all his own and his chief
claim to popularity, possibly was the
fact that he saw things clearly and
wrote about them simply so that all
classes of readers might know fully
about what he was discussing.
Unlike many writer's, Mr. Brisbane
wrote more for thought provoking
than he did for swaying opinion. True
enough, he naturally wanted to sway
the same as any other writer, but he
seemed to get delight out of discus
sion of those subjects which were most
controv ersial One time he would APP
pear militaristic and another time he
would lean somewhat the other way.
but he would invariably come back
to his chief hO3by-that of advOs "a
ton of a large airplane defense force
for this country.
He travelled a lot and would write
about some of the most simple things,
but his writings would bear thought.
OF course, as is generally thought, he
belonged to the more conservative ele-
ment of the nation and was not eX-
pected to take the progressive point
of view.
He was known to have been the
highest paid newspaper writer in the
world and it is said that his yearly
earnings from this vocation alone
totaled more than the amount of
money tie president of the United
States and all of his cabinet members
receive in the same period of time.

BUYING ROADS WE NEED
(Du1uth Hpra1d(

N. w. Elsberg, state highway COM
missioner, has summed up the high
way situation in this state.
His department will not lead cam
paign for more highway funds, either
through increased motor registration
fees or through a higher gasoline tax,
3ut will recommend that some means
be found to pay for a reasonable con-
struction program.
More than a quarter of the highway
departments current income now goes
for bond charges.
To put Minnesota on a pay-as-yOu-
go basis we must stop construction or
increase revenues.
If we can match it there will be
So million dollars of federal road
aid for us in 1887 and just as much
in 1888. With our present inc me we
cannot get that because we cannot
match it.
We must choose between sacrificing
improvement and aid and paying for
continued improvements.
For Northern Minnesota there can
be but one answer to this. Our high
way system is not nearly so complete
as that in other parts of the state.
If we stop road building now this sec
ton will still have to help pay for
others roads, and will face a long
period of disadvantage in competing
with other sections, which have theirs
now.
If we can get an assurance that
we will have just share in the i'm
prOvements the next two years could
bring, Northern Minnesota ought to
favor a 1-cent increase in the gaso-
line tax. Otherwise, we will be help
ing to pay the piper only to find our
selves sitting out the dance.

CONSTRUCTION VERSUS
DESTRUCTION
Editor AskOv American:

Editor ASkOv American:
The rapid development of the ma
chine age which we have witnessed
carries with it great dangers to civili-
cation and may eventually destroy it
if necessary steps are not taken by
mankind to master it and lead it
into channels of construction and to
safeguard itself against it's use in
destruction between individuals and
nations.
Mankind has solved the problem
of production to point where all our
needs can be filled without fighting
for it; without the law of rugged in
dividualism or survival of the fittest
ever being applied again, nor the need
of one nation waging wars of conquest
on its brother nations. However, one
reason Overshadows all others why
man must now take steps against
war and destruction, and this is self
preservation. Civilization will be de-
stroyed if present and future inven-
tions and discoveries shall be used
for that purpose.
While poison gas may be used in
tie future to combat insects, explo-
sives in farming and engineering,
they are both likely to destroy their
present masters.
Various estimates have been made
as to the amount of damage to prop
erty and the loss of life in the last
World war, but today destruction eff
ficiency is undoubtedly many times
higher; how soon will it reach the
point when mankind can destroy it.
self in a few hours?
1t seems to be the height of folly
to build today what we may be hell
bent on destroying tomorrow. This
can correctly be called building on
sand"
The foundation for future building
must be peace; this can only be ac-
complished by removing the causes
