the Soviet Union sentiments so deeply
insulting that they might have-if
the world in the meantime had not
learned something else-provoked
armed conflict.
At this weeks Nuremberg meeting
there is shadow of coming events
for it has been officially announced
that Benito Mussolini, fascist dicta-
tor of Italy, is coming to Germany
for a visit with Hitler at Berchtes-
gaden about two weeks hence.
Interesting Background.
Whether you say Fascism or Nazism
its all the same, so Hitler and
Mussolini will beforehand realize that
they have much in common. They
will no doubt discuss the possible
fate of Austria; they will dwell at
some length on the subject of the
Spanish civil war in whose fascist
victorious outcome both are deeply
interested. And then they will take
up the matter of Japan and that coun-
try's war against China With Japan,
Germany and Italy are exceedingly
anxious to combat Russian commun-
ism, in testimony whereof Germany
last year signed socalled friendship
accord with Japan. And-"accidents
will happen!'-at about the time that
Mussolini ends his visit with Hitler,
Prince Yasuhito Chichibu, brother of
the japanese emperor, is due in Ber-
lin! That may, taking all things into
consideration, be considerably more
than an accident, the possible i'm
portance of which is heightened by
the secrecy which wells all prepare
tons for the visit.

DEFENDS NEW DEAL

Editor ASkOV American:
With the glamor of the New Deal
over and things returning to normal
many will forget what the New Deal
has accomplished and those in oppo-
sition to it will take heart and will
try to ridicule and distort in order
to regain power with view of re-
pealing those features of the New
Deal which they don't like.
The New Deal has put the follow
ing measures on the statute books
which were all opposed by the ma
jority of the Old Guard: Banking
Insurance Act, regulating banking and
guaranteeing deposits up to $4,000;
the Farm Programs, instructing and
paying the farmers to go into scienti-
fic farming; old age pension, social
security, railway pension act; Secur-
tiles Commission, regulating the sales
of stock and bonds, so that wildcat
outfits cannot periodically trim the in
vestors with fake stocks. The Re-
construction Finance Corporation is
functioning the way it should instead
of pegging the extreme rich. Don't
forget the Dawes loan of $4,000 900
subsequent default beating the gov
eminent out of millions of dollars.
Hoover defended this loan The New
Deal has practically exterminated
gangs of outlaws, which operated at
will under the Old Deal. An hon.
est attempt has been made to main
tain our present system, built on the
right to own private property and
the wage system, and at the same
time to prevent the outstanding abuses
which were given free play under
the Old Deal. Many other things
have been accomplished, such as get
ting the Supreme Court to reverse
itself on several decisions and making
it more liberal, and in fact, declar-
ing practically the whole New Deal
constitutional.
From now on the New Deal will
be on the defensive. A desperate at
tempt will be made to destroy the
whole thing. Clever writers will tell
you how the New Deal has failed,
public confidence in its major features
will lag. The attack will come from
both the bottom and top. The bot
tom will tell you the New Deal did
not go far enough and the top will
tell you it went too far. Both are
equally dangerous. Think back the
past 20 years; if you want to go
through all that again vote against
the New Deal

GIVES FACTS ON WAR
ASkoV American:

EDITOR ASkOV American.
Robbery is robbery, and war is
war, but war is legalized robbery, but
can not be started by fully civilized
people as the aggressor, as war is bar
barism. The defendant may be civ
ilized, but the aggressor is not. Any
civilized nation should put in strong
objection to the aggressor, and treat
such, as decent people will treat
common well known robber; that is,
to have no dealing with such; and the
robber nation would soon give it up.
But we are having our greedy I'M
civilized profiteers to grasp all there
is in it.
But who have legalized mass rob-
berry? All the big nations except
Russia. Russia was working hard
against it in the League of Nations,
while the others were laughing about
it. And there were held meetings of
several kinds; at the disarmament
convention they were only quarreling
about how much and what kind of
murder tools each nation should be
allowed to have, and what little
agreed to is not lived up to; so all
the meetings have been a total fail
ure so far or no nation would have
been allowed to 60 back to barbar-
ism.
Hitler has been talking loud that
the Russian government shall be
cursed, as such government will
spread to other nations if allowed in
Russia. At length Russia came to
the understanding that it was meant
as said, so now she is preparing for
defense but she held back as long
as she dared to.
When we think of the way we
read in the papers about how the ma
tons not at war are burning in
nocent peoples homes and when they

Foreign Protection ?

Of course we have discussed the
subject of foreign protection before
and we suppose certain amount of
it is logical, but there can be limit.
That limit seems to have been reached
when the United States government
must endanger its entire citizenry by
giving protection to some fun loving
wealthy folks who persist in gal
avanting around in war-torn areas.
The latest flare comes from no
less a parsonage than Mrs. Teddy
Roosevelt, Jr. Mrs. Roosevelt (maybe
for political reasons, for she is bitter
ly opposed to President Roosevelt's
democracy criticized sharply the
presidents policy in the orient which
is to the effect that any Americans
staying in China from now on do so
at their own risk.
Mrs. Roosevelt, of course states that
she left China when she was asked
to do so and that all the protection
they had on the ship sailing down the
Whangpoo river was an American
flag stretched in front of the smoke
stack Mrs. Roosevelt, as any other
of her countrymen, have a right to
expect protection from their govern
ment if they are employed in an au-
thoriZed governmental mission, but
it seems to us when she and her gang
go galavanting around the globe seek
ing thrills then they at least can
take their chances similar to the wild
game hunter when he goes into the
African jungle; he does not yell
Uncle Sam" every time a tiger
springs or lion roars.
Furthermore, if Mrs. Roosevelt
had any memories of the actual hor-
rors of the last war and could have
any realization of the suffering
which has continued since those dark
days 20 years ago, she surely would
not expect the United States to flaunt
its power in the faces of warning ma
tons to thus endanger its own peace
full standing
OF course we do agree with her
when she asks why are the battle
ships in those waters with their guns
covered? We would 60 further than
that and ask why are they there at
all? Of course in all the intricacies
of international relationship the lay
man is not clear and there are many
things in this world of affairs that
the rank and file of the people, who
must fight the battles, do not under
stand.
We do, though, hope President
Franklin D. Roosevelt will stick to his
announced policy that all Americans
who wish to stay in China do so at
their own risk. Cool-headed leader
ship in times like these is certainly
needed to keep an already suffering
world out of war.

are fleeing from there, they follow
them, kill and wound as many as
possible, in all ages from newly born
children up to old, feeble people, and
let them lie there with nobody to
take care of them.
Can any one take part in such
actions, or have command of it,
whether low officer or a superior,
living in Tokyo, Berlin or Rome, with
out being barbarian? Such people
have no feeling for others.
When it is said that nothing can
be done as it is not war, that is only
quibbling. Any contest between ma
tons or states, carried on by force
with arms is war according to die
tionaries regardless of declaration of
war. To say that is not war would
be the same as if we would say kill
ling man and taking his money is
not robbery, when the aggressor does
it without first telling him that he
will rob him; so the police should
not interfere in such case.
Shall we laugh, or shall we cry
when thinking of such diplomats?
1 wonder what they are calling that
brutality in Ethiopia, Spain and China
if it is not war.
The aggreSSor of a war should be
cut off from all kinds of business with
the rest of the world, and that should
be in force until such nation had
paid in full for all damage it had
done, and the defendant should have
all possible help in his struggle for
defense. That would be in the direc-
ton of preventing evil and be good
moral. 1t should be avoided as much
as possible to use physical strength
in settling dispute, as that is in
favor of that one with the most
strength, and for that reason we are
having courts.
It is much more needed to have
an international court to settle dis
putes between nations than between
individuals, because last mentioned it
will be only the two persons involved,
but between nations it will include
innocent and disinterested, all civilians
included. If Italy had said to such
court, we will have Ethiopia; and
Japan said, we will have such a part
of China, and we may want more of
it later on; and Italy and Germany
said to that court, we will force
a Fascist government onto Spain.
A court of and for the whole world
would reject the whole thing. So we
can be sure that the powerful ma
tons will not have such court. l
am sure that the individual robbers
would be glad to have the courts
that make them trouble discontinued
so they would have equal rights with
the others.
A court of the world, and for the
world, should be composed of men,
Der from each nation, regardless of
the size of nation. But as long as
the brutal powers run the whole
thing, we can not get such a court.
Agreements between nations are de-
clared old scrap paper in cases where
they are not satisfactory

and it contained only 37.2 per cent
of animal fat, which proved to be
neutral lard, mixed with vegetable
gum and coloring matter. This is
subject to a tax of 10 cents pound,
but the manufacturers were selling
it without paying any tax, hence it
was seized by the state. The joker
in the state law on oleomargarine ex-
empts all butter substitutes from tax
