THE ALI-MIGHTY DOLLAR
(The NatlOn)

Munitions makers, oil magnates,
and Wall Street bankers will rejoice
in the decision of Administration
leaders to abandon permanent neutral
ity legislation at this session of Con-
gress. The extension of the present
resolution, even with amendments for
bidding loans to belligerents and linn
iting the export of certain war ma
terials, will leave the United States
with very little more protection
against war than existed in 1914. 1t
will not only be possible for Amer
lean business men to continue NOR
mall trade with the war-makers, but
they may sell unlimited quantities of
war materials, including arms and
ammunition, through neutral coun-
tries. Continued insistence on the free
dom of the seas will afford a constant
source of friction in any conflict in
which the British Empire is involved.
The prohibition of loans to belliger-
ents is of vital Importance, but with
out other safeguards such regulation
is bound to break down as it did in
1916. What may prove to be even
more serious the failure of Congress
to take decisive action has played into
the hands of Mussolini. After weeks
session the Oil Sanctions Committee
of the League had reached the con-
clusion that an oil embargo, if sup
ported by the United States, would
bring Italy to it's knees within six
months, and was prepared to recon-
mend such step to the Council. It's
position was quickly reversed, how

OLSON ON NEUTRALITY.
(St. Paul Pioneer Press)

/
Governor Olson's ideas on neutrali-
ty legislation to keep America from
becoming involved again in a war be-
cause of attacks on this country's for
eign trade are more logical than those
of Congress as expressed in its ex-
tension of the existing legislation
last week. He wants to go the full
distance and make the stoppage of
our war time trade complete. Con-
gross so far is content with half way
measures, apparently undecided wheth-
er to stand by the principle of with
drawing our trade from the seas dur
ing war or to insist on our right to
enjoy feedom of the sea. The Cover
nor declares that this country can
have a war over a million dollars of
trade as easily as over a billion. That
is perhaps an Overstatement but in
general it is true. The only reason
why we are not in trouble now over
iron is because Ethiopia has no navy.
But the whole neutrality policy is
dangerous because, as the sentiment
in Congress even now shows, we
should probably abandon it when the
first important trouble arose. 1t is
no light matter to attempt to stop in
dustries on which vast sections of the
country and millions of people are
dependent. Thus, we export 65 per
cent of our cotton CROP Governor
Olson suggests subsidies to tide such
sections and Industries through the
war, but this is at best a doubtful
remedy. The chances, are that we
would not stand by the neutrality
legislation under the economic pres
sure and the emotional forces gener-
ated by war.
1t will be far safer to go the full
distance in the opposite direction, and
instead of trying to do what is i'm
possible. wall ourselves apart from
war, face the facts of the modern
interdependent world and help other
nations that are trying to prevent
wars from happening.

LABOR SAVING MACHINES
(The Minneapolis Starr

Two brothers in Tennessee have in
vented machine for picking cotton.
Such machine has long been sought.
These brothers have distinguished
themselves by their invention. They
are further distinguishing themselves
by their regard for humanity.
They ask the people of the country
to show them how to use this machine
without throwing hundreds of thou
sands of persons out of work-how
can their invention bring security and
leisure from toll?
They, themselves, have several
ideas. One is to lease the machine,
and require the lessee to maintain a
minimum wage and maximum hour
scale, not permit children to use it,
and to hold the right of collective bar
gaining among employees. Another is
to use part of the machines profit to
set up social insurance plan and to
develop a program of diversification
in the cotton belt
These suggestions may be sound, or
they may be silly. But the point is
sAiese SAiSoS ING "
think out way to use their machine
without throwing lot of men out of
work. Labor-saving machines may be
misnamed. They might even be called
labor-losing, for they take labor from
thousands of men.
Now, ours is machine age. There's
no stopping the use of machines.
Their use will increase. 1t is prog
ress. In no other way can man es-
cape from drudgery.
The man whose living is taken
away from him by contrivances can
not be expected to look upon them as
blessings. He has to go on eating
whether he works or not.
Our social structure, based on ma
chinery, takes on great responsible
ity. 1t must find way for the work
ing man to use the machines-get the
leisure caused blythe more rapid pro-
ductiOn-and at the same time have
a job. A social scheme in which men
who want to work can't find jobs is
not much of social scheme, and can
not go on forever. Vast numbers of
men without jobs constitute a threat
that cannot be held always by relief
rolls.

ever, when it became apparent that
the United States would make no at
tempt to curb its oil profiteers. The
tremendous increase in our trade with
Italy during December, despite the
slowness with which collections are
being made, indicates that certain of
our business interests already have
a considerable stake in an Italian
victory. Can it be possible that they
have more influence in Washington
than the multitudes of men and wom-
en- who desire peace?

PENALIZE BROKEN PROMISES
Editor Askov American.

Editor ASkOv American:
Since the Triple A and the blue
blooded eagle blues were counted on,
with the gavel knocking on wood by
the supreme court, it has prevailed
and by some of our self-praised states
men, that certain acts of the supreme
court in regards to the New Deal
were not on the level and that the
constitution should be amended so as
to bar the supreme court in the flu
ture from interfering with sound con-
structive legislation.
l for one believe more than anyone
that the constitution should be amend
ed and brought up to date. First of
all it needs a provision whereby any
citizen may sue the president or any
court for failing to keep his or her
campaign promises, and if found
guilty that the supreme court shall
have the power to order his or her
removal from office within 4S hours,
and a new election to be declared i'm
mediately.
The very idea to indulge ourselves
year in and year out with a president
that broke all of his campaign prom
ises, the president that borrowed bill
lions of dollars from the money chang
ers in order to stabilize poverty, by
raking dead leaves, destroying food,
bribing farmers, and numerous other
ridiculous and childish movements, on
which no men would ever get elected,
even in the wilds of Africa.

Second Historical
Pageant Next Sunday

Packed with drama-strange, potent
and fantastic-the second Minnesota
Historical pageant will be shown next
Sunday, july II, at Itasca State Park
before an anticipated audience of $500
with 90 Boy Scouts from Oslo, Norway
guests of honor
Early Indian rituals, rich with the
lore of spirits and the magic of the
medicine man, will enthrall the boys
from the land of the Vikings who have
heretofore known about redskins only
through their history books. Norway's
part in the settlement and develop
ment of Minnesota will be aptly illus
trated in five dramatic episodes tracing
the early history of the North Star
state
According to H. z. Mitchell, publisher
of the Bemidji Pioneer, and pageant
publicity director, the boys from Oslo
will get "a history lesson in capsule
form" when they witness the pageant
cast in scenes relating to the coming
OF the Jesuit and Franciscan fathers to
the Lake Superior region, Father Hen
nepin'S journey, and encounters with
the Sioux. Early mission days near
Lac qui Parle, the Fond du Lac post
the romantic and famous Boutwell,
Crooks wedding, the scene at Leech
lake where Reverend Boutwell, saved
Nicollet from a band of marauding
Indians-al will be enacted in detail
faithful to history for the boys WHIT
have travelled $500 miles from the Land
of the Midnight Sun to the Land OF
10000 Lakes.
