volunteers would be able to enter
Spain through that country.
Portugal, upon having been asked
to define her attitude, has replied that
she will not close the border, and
will do nothing to hinder foreign vol
unteers in coming to the aid of the
rebels. 1t may be recalled that, some
time ago Portugal and Germany rec
ognized General Francisco FRANCOIS
rebel government.
Despite all discussion of the ques-
ton of foreign volunteers I'm Spain,
no actual step has been taken, and
1t is known that there are thousands
of them. Whether more are coming
in now, appears to be not definitely
known. but there are indications that
the influx has at least lessened
Catastrophe I'm ManchukuO.
One of the most horrible fires of
recent years last Saturday evening
destroyed the Wutai Theater in An
tung, Manchukuo, and about 700 per-
sons,-mostly women and children
were burned to death or lost their life
in the desperate struggle to get out
OF the flame-filled structure. Emer-
gency exits did not function, most of
them, in fact, being so tightly closed
that they could not be opened.
Practically all the victims were
Chinese, and 1900 of them had gath
cred at the theater in order to cele-
brate the Chinese New Years at a
special performance. From early ac-
counts it developed that the fire was
started by one of the actors being
careless with a candle which he was
using in his dressing room.
Japanese soldiers are said to have
made heroic efforts to save the per-
sons entrapped in the burning build
ing, and to their assistance most of
the survivors appear to owe the fact
that they did not lose their lives in
the flames. Eye witnesses report that
the fire was so horrible as to defy
description. To make matters even
more tragical, a balcony filled with
people collapsed. and shortly after
ward the roof of the building caved
in; in both of these instances an I'M
known number of persons were SIM
ply crushed to death.

FARM HOLIDAY NEWS
By Hjalmer Sandel. Secretary

Chas. ID. Egley, manager of the
Farmers Union Commission firm,
South st. Paul. spoke at our last reg
ular meeting, held at Hinckley Friday,
February 5, speaking on cooperation.
Mr.. Egley is very able speaker and
is of great value to the cOor ell tive
movement, and farmers should be
loyal enough to patronize the Farm
ers Union in shipping livestock to
South st. Paul.
| wish to herewith remind all tho e
who have had grievance or mortgage
cases adjusted by the Holiday As so, j.
alton committee, and who have not
yet paid the fee which the grievance
committee is allowed to charge to take
care of expenses in settling such
cases. Now friends, | beg of you to
try to pay this fee as soon as you can
do so, you must realize that it is i'm
possible for the grievance committee
to continue to travel and at all times
take care of expenses from it's own
pockets We feel that if you have
been taken care of and received help
in getting your cases settled you
should feel indebted to this commit
tee and show your loyalty to our or
ganization and to those who are will
ling to work for you. Do it now
Many have paid in advance, and to
those who will not in the near future
take care of this little item their
cases will be taken up at our regular
meetings. The fee, as you know, is
SIS. If you have paid part, send bal
ance.
We notice in the press that there
has sprung to life a Farm Bureau
organization in Pine county. There
is and must be more behind this move
than just to organize the farmers.
The Holiday is so far the leading or
ganization in so doing in this county,
and has well served the people. We
would therefore ''unofficially" suggest
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1937-02-18

that the newly organized Farm Blu
reau would invite all organizations
and farmers and taxpayers of Pine
county and explain the work and
benefit Gf any to the farmers that
the newly born organization will be.
and perhaps there can be some under
standing whereby we will all benefit
AS there are very vital issues before
us, very little feed for livestock, no
seed, how much consideration can
the farmers expect to receive? We
will be waiting for the invitation

ASkoy Beats COlOred Team.

Owing 70 the unfayorable weather
the attendance at the House of David
Askov basketball game Saturday eve
ming in the ID. B. S. hall was not as
big as expected. And the final score
of the game was probably not as big
as had been expected, and not as one
sided as had been expected, and the
final thing that was not expected was
that Askov actually beat their colored
visitors.
The fans really expected to see
whirl-wind finish by the colored boys
in the final quarter, but they just
couldn't put it acrOss-they were
clever enough at passing the ball out
in the open but Askov's defense held
the score down. And by the way
Askov put up as classy a team as one
could ask for, and when Sexton and
Hogan from Kerrick, were put in aft
err the first quarter, then 1t was
combination that was hard to beat.
The final count was SO to so in favor

tween the two countries, would not
as has generally been supposed|be
chosen for the marching through OF
the German armies. Benes maintained
that not only would Great Britain and
France not allow it, but that Russia,
too would do the utmost to prevent
such move.
And in Berlin Joseph Goebbels,
German minister OF propaganda. ad-
dressed an audience of 10000 people,
assuring them that whatever danger
there may have been of new war,
it now has vanished; he argued that
by now Germany had become so strong
and so adequately armed that no 9TH
err power would dare to attack it, but
he also warned his auditors that
Moscow and the Jews always are de-
sirous of war" This statement does
not harmonic with the past record
of Soviet Russia, certainly not more
strongly imbued with aggressive ten
denotes than Germany claims to be.
Oriental Calm.
Altogether, during the last few days
there has been more responsible talk
about peace than about war, and even
from Tokyo word comes that Senyuro
Hayashi, the new prime minister, the
other day in statement said that
it would be his quite special effort
to maintain friendly relations with
Great Britain, the United States, Rus
STA and China. He knew, he added,
that there are certain problems pend
ing settlement between Japan on the
one side, China and Russia on the
other, but he was convinced that they
could be adjusted through negotiation,
and he personally would do all he
could to achieve this.
Spanish Civil War.
In Spain, however, nothing peaceful
can be discerned. The bloody civil
war between the government and the
fascist rebels goes on undated, prob
ably even more violently than for
some time past. The fact that the
rebels stormed and took possession of
Malaga a short time ago appears to
have given them new determination,
and they are now concentrating all
their efforts about the task of TAX
ing Madrid. Back and forth the sue
cess of aggressors and defenders
waves; one moment the rebels are
victorious, the next they are driven
off by the defenders. Stories to the
effect that the rebels have cut lines
Of communication between Madrid and
Valencia, the only one remaining be-
tween the capital and the outside
world have not been corroborated,
In the stOrming of Malaga 1t is
reported that 10000 Italian volunteers
took part, also it is said that sixty
German aviators participated in the
bombardment OF the city. There is
still within the non-intervention COM
mission in London, much talk about
blockading the coasts of Spain for the
purpose of preventing foreign volun-
teers from rushing to the aid of the
competing groups, but so far it is
talk only; no action can be said to
have been taken.
Coasts and Land Borders.
If action is ever decided upon, it
will probably take the form of a coast
blockade established by British,
French, Italian, German and Russian
warships; France would undertake to
watch the border between herself and
Spain, but even that measure, added
to the possible blockade of the coasts.

ment does not include Portugal, for
