In times of stress and economic
disturbances; in times when people
are looking to their leaders for a
better distribution of the necessities
of life, it is interesting and encourage
ing to note that communities and
groups of people yet endeavor to make
their lot little happier. We refer
when mentioning the activity of COM
munities and groups, to the special
days and fairs being held, not only
in this section, but in various sections
of the state and nation.
In these local activities, people not
only can accomplish good by social
contact in a different form than the
everyday life offers, but they can
keep abreast at home, in home life
and in home community. And in
another sense change of activity re-
freShes and fits them for added effort
along state and national lines.
It is a healthy condition to see so
many rural communities taking an
interest and congregating. Towns
and country in the rural sections and
even in the cities should be and are
as one. Their interests, while they
appear very different, are about the
same. One is depending on the other
to a certain degree to make for a
happy life. What is good for the
community is good for every one.
Let us have more fairs and more
community activity.

THE Firms IN AMERICA
minneapolis Journal)

It is inconceivable that the dis
courtesy of failure to include the
people of Finland in a Congressional
invitation to attend the three-hun-
dredth anniversary of the founding
of New Sweden, the first permanent
white settlement on the Delaware
river, should have been other than
an oversight. Or if, in the opinion
of those who drew the Senate resolu-
ton, the historic date, 1888, is so dis
tinctively associated with the Swedes
as to preclude Finnish inclusion, sep
arate invitation to participate might
properly have been extended. Con-
gresham Hook of Michigan put
through an amendment remedying the
error, before Congress adjourned.
The story of the Swedish colony is
familiar to all who know the history
of our early settlement. But Con-
gresham Hook found less common
and effective short illustration. 1t
happens that 1888 was just 1873 years
before the year of the Declaration of
Independence And if 1873 years be
added to the Declaration year, it
brings it down to 1914 So, about as
far back before the Revolutionary war
as we now are after it., "that gives
an impressive picture of the sweep
of time" said Congressman Hook,
"since these colonists from Sweden
and Finland first landed on our
shores"
Distinctively, the celebration next
year will be Swedish in character.

Peninsula and Finland have changed

SCHACHT VS.. HITLER
(St. Paul Daily News)

Out of the menacing tangle of
European and Asiatic affairs comes
a single hopeful note-the reported
proffer by DR.. Hjalmar Schacht of his
resignation as Germany's minister of
economics.
DR.. Schacht has warned Dictator
Adolf Hitler of the drastic need of
private industry for raw materials
from which to fabricate goods for
export, has recommended sharp re-
duction in the nations armament pro-
gram in order to make these materials
available, and has predicated his con-
tinuance in office upon acceptance by
der Fuhrer" of his program.
If DR.. Schacht's threat. to resign is
sincere his action is far more i'm
portant, and will carry more weight,
than all the scraps of paper" which
have been written in the past in an
effort to bring about peace in Europe.
DR.. Schacht is not man of war.
He is a man of peace 1t is his finan-
cial wizardry which has pulled Ger
many out of the economic hole in
which she found herself following the
World war.
He is the one-not Hitler-who has
regained for Germany an important
place on the European economic map,
by establishing a system of barter and
exchange of manufactured goods for
the raw products of other nations of
southern Europe.
His retirement would be a more
severe blow to the Hitler regime and
prestige than would victory for the
Spanish government in the civil war
in which Hitler has evidenced such
a strong interest.
Perhaps Hitler will heed Schacht's
warning. If he does, it will be the
most effective step yet taken toward
halt in the European armament race.

A Peaceful Act

Several days ago President Roose-
welt spoke words to his neighbors al
Hyde Park, NJ Y, which sounded
good to peace loving citizens of the
country of which he is chief execu-
tive His words were to the effect
that he would do all in his power to
keep this country out of war.
We feel sure that President Roose-
welt meant those words, but we have
heard them before. Do you remem-
Der? 1t was "way back" in the pre-
war days of the World war when
Woodrow Wilson was running for re-
election. He said that he would do
all in his power to keep the United
States out of war. Of course we do
not doubt the sincerity of his state
ment, but the pressure was too great
and as subsequent events decreed,
he did not keep us out of war.
Now there is little different setup
President Roosevelt is not running
for reelection and his statement was
given as the chief executive to his
people, we feel, in good faith. Presi-
dent Roosevelt, by his past acts, has
shown he has feeling for the COM
mon folks, who must suffer most in
a war Therefore we feel sure that
he will do all in his power to keep
them from great suffering and trag-
edy
His recent act in forbidding govern
ment ships to carry arms and NUM-
tons to the Orient and his order to
private ships that they will carry it
at their own risk increases our faith
in him. He will be backed by mil
lions in the nation who know that
any war means not only wrecked
home life for them but wrecked
national and economic life for gen.
erations to come.

in many ways in the intervening
years. In the geographic sense the
exact participation of the Firms, in
the several groups that followed one
another to the New World, is not
known to Congressman Hook, but on
the basis of some separate records
as between Swedes and Firms, notably
one group of los persons of which
90 were entered as Films, he believes
the Firms had about one-third par
ticipation.
Outside of Delaware itself, no State
should have a wider interest in the
event than Minnesota.

COURT REFORMS
(Union AdVOcate)

President Roosevelt's militant fight
for court reform was not a total fail
ure as congress hoped it would be.
Long before the over-paid repre-
sentatives of the people in congress
had definitely killed the proposal the
wholesome effect of the Presidents
campaign was evident on all sides.
For one thing the supreme court sud-
denly became liberal. 1t reversed
itself on the minimum wage law; it
sustained the Wagner Labor Rela-
tons act.
But the good work did not stop
there. Throughout the country fed
eral judges suddenly became alert to
the fact that human rights are para
mount to property rights Even state
supreme courts evidenced an unsus-
pected liberalism in their interpreta-
ton of statutes in dispute. State,
county and municipal courts followed
suit. The general effect of the Presi-
dents agitation for court reform was
to stimulate action, speed and justice.
Labor has been the beneficiary of
this general awakening of the judi
ciary. There have been fewer Labor
injunctions granted during the past
five months. AS a matter of fact,
lot of judges have actually shown
sympathy for embattled workers. For
example,:
Two weeks ago the employees of
the Supplee- Willis Jones milk COM
pany in Philadelphia, on strike for
month, petitioned for an election to
determine which union should be
recognized as the sole bargaining
agent of the employees. The company
had organized company union
known as the Gold Medal Employees
Protective association. An A. F. of L.
union challenged it's legality and
asked ruling from Judge Harry E.
Kalodner. The judge took the case
under advisement for a few days and
then handed down a decision.
He ruled that the association" was
a company union and said, among
