ASkOVite Returns.

K. j. Feldtmose returned to Askov
last week after visiting at various
points in this country and in Den
mark the past eight months. Mr..
Feldtmose was very pleased with his
visit to his native country and had
occasion to see both the good and
the bad there. He stated that it was
not uncommon to have approximately
one acre of land mortgaged to the
extent of 1000 Kroner, which is
something over 5000.
In spite of the heavy debt about
80 per cent of the people still have
possession of their places. But tax
alton, interest and RECOMMENDATION is
a heavy burden on many farmers
there.

WHAT THE v. F. w. WANTS

According to Scott P. Squyers, newly
elected head of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, the following are among the prin-
cipal detectives of his organizations:
a.. The passage of bill by Con-
gresS to insure jobs or pensions for vet
Grams of all wars.
(2). Provision for old age social Sc
curity benefits, to begin for veterans at the
age of fifty instead of sixty-five as now
provided by law.
r 20 Of course, the veterans are for neu-
trality, to keep our troops from foreign
countries, ndto increase the membership
Of their organization so that it "can take
the actual lead in world peace move"
The drive for jobs or pensions, says
Mr.. Squyers, will be misinterpreted by the
public in general, which does not appre-
ciate the aims of the veterans. He points
out that the veterans sacrificed every
thing during the World War, lost limbs
and suffered shattered nerves." Now, "at
the average age of forty-five,' private in
dustry will not employ him, particularly if
he is the recipient of pension and, for
the same reason, continues the leader of
the V. F. W., the old age benefits should
begin for veterans at the age of fifty.
The reaction of readers to these aims
will undoubtedly vary: The veterans will
think that they are very modest in view of
the sacrifices made during the great war.
Young people who have begun life since
1918 and some taxpayers will wonder how
the success of such program will affect
them and just how much it will take to
satisfy the veterans.

IMPORTANT THINGS

Bernard NJ Baruch, American finan-
cier, recently returned from Europe where
he had spent few weeks. He was some
what pessimistic about the future peace
of the world and little bit anxious lest our
neutrality law get us into war now"
He had few ideas about domestic
things, however, that seem worth noting.
In the first place he said that the i'm
portant thing that confronts America is a
solution of the agricultural problem. This,
he went on, the people of the East do not
realize.
Then, there is the question of wages.
When we have initiation, says Mr.. Baruch,
as we have had, wages must go up or else
workman's real wages decline. The
trouble, he continues, is that manufac-
turers, when they have to pay 10 per
cent increase add 20 per cent to their
prices.
Mr.. Baruch seems to understand
some things.

crop insurance against drought and
other natural causes; government

In all of this. the author is agitated

horizon as a possible alternative to
communism. So he pleads for an al

NOT AGAINST COMMUNISM
some things.

When Hitler boasts that Japan is
allied with Germany in common front
against communism he ignores basic facts
that emphasize the belief that there are
other purposes to the German-Japanese
agreement.
Japan is today fighting to Gust Chang
kaishek who has been busy putting the
sword to the Communists of China in civil
warfare for many years. In fact. the bat
tie only ended last December when the
Ghinese leader was captured and his re-
lease made conditional on an agreement
to make common front against Japan.
If Japan wanted communism suppress
sed in China all that was necessary was to
leave Chang Kai-Shek alone and let him
have full sway in China. The reorganiza-
ton of China was getting along and it was
what Japan war afraid of.

KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here Just Ten Years Ago Today As Taken
From The Files OF The Citizen

Cuba is spending many mil
lions of dollars preparing for
automobile traffic from the Unit
ed States, much of which it is
expected will pass through Key
West. This is the report brought
back from the Island Republic by
DIR. j. NJ. Renedo, who has just
returned from a visit there of
two months. Even Key West
ers are not much more interest
ed in the Over Seas Highway than
are the people of Cuba, said the
doctor, and officials of the Cuban
government are doing everything
they can to awaken further in
terest, as they feel that compile
ton of the roadway will mean al
most as much to the business of
the island as it will mean to Key
West. Many thousands of per-
sons are employed on the Cuban
highway working feverishly to
complete the roads, said the doe
tor, and 1000 workmen are en-
ployed in the province of Havana.
1t is the hope that before the
highways are completed, adj
equate transportation will be in
augurated between Key West and
Cuba for the movement of auto
mobiles between the two islands.
