terest for the cogent reason that it
is the first time in history that ruler
of the largest empire existing has
sacrificed his throne and his crown
for the sake of love.
The wedding at Chateau de Cande
will not be any very glittering af-
fair, judging from advance announce
ments, for it will be totally devoid
of the "pomp and circumstance" of
royalty. The family of the Duke
of Windsor has decided-or rather,
Mr.. Stanley Baldwin decided-that
the former king is wholly private
citizen and, for that reason, must
get married like any other incon-
spicuous individual. Of course, he
cannot do that, for by his former
rank he will still be known, and the
eyes of the world will be directed
toward him and his American-born
bride when they consummate what
greatest romance of history.
Whether Mrs. Warfield will be
known as "royal highness" or plain
Mrs. Windsor apparently has not been
definitely determined, and it does
seem to us over here on this side
of the Atlantic that the English stress
this point rather heavily; since, how
ever her husband-to-be is Duke
of Windsor, she automatically be-
comes Duchess of Windsor, and along
with the title will acquire a hand
some part of an annual income of
something like 100000 assured the
Duke in the form of family support
Verbal Hostility.
A short time ago Cardinal Munde-
lein, the head of the Roman Catholic
district of Chicago, hurled some YER
bal bombs in the direction of the
head of the German government,
Adolf Hitler; he called him, among
other things, a former Austrian
paperhanger and not very good one,
at that"
The cardinals attack followed one
made some time before by Mayor
Fiorella LaGuardia of New York and,
of course, brought on some fiery Ger
man comments. Propaganda Min
lister Joseph Goebbels answered the
Chicago attack by calling the card
inal liar-and, as far as that goes,
there did not seem to be any justi-
fication for an American attack on
Hitler, no matter how unpopular his
church policies are. 1t is never wise
especially not when the world is
more or less on edge-to direct at
tacks of Cardinal Mundelein's kind
against the head of foreign govern
ment for, after all, what is done
within the domain of such a govern
ment is its own business, whether one
likes to admit it or not
The people of the United States
do not love to be criticized abroad
for its tolerance of, for instance,
lynching in the South, and men in
high position, political or ecclesiast-
ical, would serve the interests of their
respective countries best by not at
lacking other nations.

A total of more than half a mil
lion dollars will be returned to ST.
Paul telephone users as result of a
decision delivered in Ramsey county
district court, calling for reductions
ranging as high as 80 per cent The
case has been pending for eight years
and the court order climaxes a fight
of the railroad and warehouse COM
mission for rate reduction, begun by
the late Knud Wefald and the pres

Education of A per cent of rural
youths ends when they finish coun-
try schools, DR.. John G.. Rockwell,
state commissioner of education, told
the Future Farmers of America"
an organization made up of high
school students of agriculture, which
met at the state university here last
week. DR.. Rockwell pointed out
that although good deal has been
done toward equalization of educa-
tional opportunity, much still re-
mains to be done.
British progress in slum clearance
during the last two decades greatly

uty state conservation commissioner,
during recent vacation trip there
Housing shortage and unhealthy

subsidize slum clearance and rebuild

spring he saw no slums whatever.
War may break out over the slight
est incident, in the opinion of Pro-
fessor Gaetano Salvemini, an out
standing authority on international
relations and faSciSm who has been
giving course of special lectures at
the University of Minnesota during
the last fortnight. Professor Salve-
mini is a lecturer at Harvard Uni
versity, having left Italy in 1925 be-
cause of suppression of academic
freedom under Mussolini.
The outbreak of war depends a
good deal upon what Hitler thinks
he might do in eastern Europe, Salve-
mini believes. He named Lithuania,
Czechoslovakia and Austria as the
danger spots in Europe, pointing out
that Lithuania would be the easiest
push-over for Hitler.
For the moment Hitler is not in
terested in attacking Austria. That
is slowly ripening plum for him.
But he must get success somewhere. ~
The professor further asserted that
the next war undoubtedly would de-
stroy civilization in Europe and would
be fight to the finish.

ASKOV
Mail Boxes Need Repairs.

A recent inspection of the rural
mail routes out of Askov discloses
that there are large number of boxes
which are in more or less delapl-
dated condition. All rural routes are
inspected once a year and in the
report from Askov it is noted that
many boxes are in need of paint
many have no names on, boxes are
loose on supports, and many of the
supports lean badly. Ten cents worth
of paint and an hours work will
put the average rural mail box in
''tiptop" shape. 1t would be nice
if all the mail boxes were in per-
feet condition before the big church
convention. 1t greatly improves the
appearance of the entrance to the
farm home.

fortune certainly, but no one is likely
to starve on $85 month.
During the week Mr. Roosevelt
sent to Congress the outline of his
proposed legislation concerning hours
and wages which proposes to revive
the basic principles of the old NRA
There will be no revival of the Blue
Eagle but limitation of hours in
industry and the establishment of a
standard of wages calculated to abOl-
ish SweatShops and child labor.
The pitfalls of the old MIRA are
to be avoided. The old MIRA at
tempted to regulate everything and
the Supreme Court was unanimous
in declaring it unconstitutional. The
new effort to get at hours and wages
is more restricted. 1t is limited in
the first place to those industries
which are clearly interstate in char
acter, and confined to establishments
which employ more than 20 persons
Thus, the little fellow will remain
largely unaffected.
But for the big fellow, the big
corporations like steel, automobiles,
cement and so on, it is proposed to
legislate a 40-hour week, with min
imum wage of 40 cents an hour, to-
gether with the abolition of child
labor. Under this proposed legisla-
ton, which has been named the Fair
Labor Standards Act of 1887" a ma
tional commission of five members
would be set up with authority to
impose these regulations on inter-
state industry. Of necessity, the
commission would be granted a rath-
er wide discretion in setting stand
ards. For instance, the commission
might prescribe a 35-hour week in
one industry and 40-hour week in
another. 1t might rule that SIG
should be the minimum weekly wage
in South Carolina, and $18 in Mas
sachusetts, the difference being due
to the cost of living, and other local
considerations. But in the main, the
standard sought is a 40-hour week
and 40 cents an hour. That figures
SIG a week.

The upholding of the security act,
following the valuation of the Ma
tional Labor Relations law, crowned
a succession of New Deal victories
in the court this term. A dozen acts
of Congress have been upheld in the
present term of the court, in contrast
to last term when the court pulled
down many of the pillars of the New
Deal.
All this has had no effect what
ever upon Mr.. Roosevelts determina-
ton to push ahead with his plan
to reorganize and enlarge the court.
While the New Deal has Jared we'll
at the hands of the court this term,
administration wheel-horses point out
that most of the vital decisions have
been 5 to 4, which they consider too
narrow a margin for comfort. The
switch of one justice could change
a New Deal victory into a New Deal
defeat.
And with great deal of legislation
still to pass the scrutiny of the court
including the new hours and wages
law-the New Deal would feel more
certain of its ground if it could be
assured of a more sympathetic court.
AS this is written the revolt, So
called, of House members which this
week resulted in wholesale and
promiscuous earmarking of relief
funds, seems to have slowed up, and
by the time these words occur in
print, in all probability satisfactory
compromise will have been reached
insuring the carrying out of the Presi-
dents program virtually intact.
