INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

Once more the era of important
speeches by great-pOwer statesmen is
with us.
The other day Anthony Eden, for
eign minister of Great Britain, rose
in the House of Commons to implore
Germany to return to the League of
Nations and to participate again the
general European work in the inter-
est of peace; the future of Germany
and the part she is to play in the
future is today the main pre-occupa-
ton of all Europe, he said, and, Ger
many has it in her power to influ-
ence a choice which will decide not
only her fate but that of Europe"
Mr.. Eden then limited that in case of
active German cooperation there
might be concessions, economic and
others, offered to Germany.
French Position.
Along the same line moved a speech
delivered a few days later by Leon
Blum, French premier, at Lyons
where he expires ed 81, Sc adherence
to the British attitude as outlined
by Mr.. Eden. He was happy to be
able to say that France and Germany
were in a process of mutual approach,
and that France would be willing to
offer concessions-only, though, it
must be understood that there would
be no bargaining with Germany; it
will-that was quite clearly init
mated-be question of take it or
leave it.
Hitler Saturday.
On Saturday of this week Reichs-
fuehrer Adolf Hitler will speak be-
fore the German parliament, largely,
it is thought, on the matter of the
Spanish civil war, but alsO-so one
is informed from Berlin-most likely
will answer Eden and Blum.
One may safely in advance dis
count the idea that Hitler uncondi-
tionally will accept British and
French propositions; most probably,
he will feel that since they seem to
be in mood to negotiate, he can ask
price. Eden and Blum implied that
Germany'S rearmament be slowed up
and as to that, Hitler will have his
answer ready: why don't you do
that yourselves" For Re has said
repeatedly that he rearmed solely be-
cause other great powers had done
it-before Germany even thought
about it.
And if he finds the time ripe, Hit
Ter will, perhaps, express willingness
to cooperate with Great Britain and

during the season of 1861, and
Whereas, it has come to our atten-
ton that certain school and mail
routes are blockaded and that it will
be necessary for the county to come
to the aid of the townships.
Now. therefore, be it resolved
that the resolution above referred to
be rescinded and that the county will
do snow blowing for the townships at
the rate of So per hour, township to
deposit funds in advance with the
county auditor and that only school
and mail routes will be plowed.
BE it further resolved that no town

WPA CARES FOR
LEISURE Time
Recreation Program of Fed
era1 Government Reaches
1927 County Residents.
More Communities Will APP
ply for it and Some Will
Make it Permanent.

Supervised recreation in Pine coun-
ty, made possible by WPA, last month
served to coordinate the leisure time
activities of approximately 1927 per-
sons, according to data made public
this week by Victor Christgau, state
| WPA administrator. A summary of
activities in Pine county was made
to Mr.. Christgau by George X. futile,
state supervisor of recreational super
vision.
WPA recreational activities in Pine
county are under the supervision of
DeerwOod Anderson of Pine City. His
immediate supervisor is Fred Grafel-
man, district supervisor, in the Brain
erd office of A. T. Gilbertson, district
director. The total number of per-
sons employed on the recreational
project in the county is 10; five being
classified as leaders and eight as
caretakers.
Four Communities Now Served.
WPA is providing supervision for
various activities in this county, as
follows:
Pine City-Choral groups, two skat-
ing Kinks, outdoor games, tOboggan
and sled slide and ski slide, basket
ball, orchestra, dramatics.
Brook Enthusiastically skating,
skiing, sliding and games
Hinckley-Sled slide and skating
rink.
Willow River-Sled slide, skating
rink, toboggan slide.
WPA recreational work now reaches
practically every county in the state
and is serving 100000 Minnesotans
on temporary basis.
Nov and for the first time small
communities and rural areas are en-
joying the benefits of this organized
effort" Mr.. Tuttle said. Since WPA
is an emergency agency, there are
taken to put the program on a per-
manent basis which can be accom-
plished only through farsighted plan

interested Off ials in Minneapolis
plan to present their problem to tie
legislature. They will request a law
that will provide for such distribu--
ton of the city's public funds so as
to give the recreational program its
proper share. Interested persons in
other cities, as we'll as villages and
rural areas doubtless will become &C
tive in behalf of such legislation so
as to make it statewide
TO most persons the word 'recrea-
ton denotes merely participation in
such activities as football, basketball,
tennis, bowling, swimming and skat-
ing. AS matter of fact, recreation
includes a host of other activities
any wholesome activity in which
groups wish to engage during their

been organized"
