OLSON PR0CLAIN|S
OCT. 27 Navy day
Points to Record Of Naval Forces
as Guardians Of American
Prosperity

/ Pointing to the service which the
United States navy and merchant
marine had given our country during
years Of peace as well as war, Mayor
Obert A. Olson Friday proclaimed
Wednesday, Oct n, navy day In Bis
marck.
Olson urged that citizens display
the American flag throughout that
day and otherwise help to honor the
navy.
The proclamation:
Our Nation has valiantly bent con.
tinuous efforts to secure and main.
tain Peace and Happiness for ou
people. Our records clearly indicate
that we have never been an aggres-
sive Nation, nor have we any inten-
ton of ever being one. Nevertheless
we are prone to realizee that to pro-
tect not only our security as q Ma
tion, but human lives and property IL
an obligation we must accept. We
are well aware that the instruments
OF protection are adequate armed
forces
The United States Navy and Mer
chant Marine are ever active, ana
stand as constant guards to the
prosperity Of our country. 1t is,
therefore, fitting that Navy Day be
observed as a day during which
tribute should be paid TO our mari
time forces.
October 9th Of this year has been
designated Navy Day. This day also
commentaries the birthday Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, that great statesman
who believed that good Navy in no
way provokes war, but is the "surest
guaranty to peace"
I, Obert A. Olson, Mayor Of the City
Of Bismarck, do set aside Wednesday.
October 9th, as a day to carefully
consider and appreciate the benefits
we as citizens enjoy In a nation 20
well secured by truly noble force
the United States Navy. l urge you
to display the flag on that day, and to
assist In whatever manner possible to
promote programs prepared in appre-
citation Of our Navy.
Signed this 22nd day Of October.
1887.
OBERT A. OLSON.

Plans Massive Thrust

The capture Of northwest Qijon
Biscayan port city, made It possible
Tor him to plan q massive thrust into
the southeast chief remaining seq
ment Of Spanish government terri
tory. He may try q decisive thrust
against Valencia and Madrid before
winter set In, and II he wins, the
war will be over.
The Valencia-Madrid government
Is making plans to move to Barcelona,
In autonomous Catalonia which thus
far has been free Of major warfare.
Germany and Italy have agreed to
withdrawal of foreign fighters from
Spain, including those with the In
s,rgent army which the two Fascist
states favor. A commission must in
spect the armies first, however-and
their decision may be delayed long
enough for Franco definitely to win
|of lose.
Time played an important part
also In the Far Eastern conflict A
foreign office, spokesman in Tokyo
indicated Japan would plead lack Of
time In which to prepare for the
nine power parley ct Brussels on Oct.
3O-to seek m end to the Chinese
japanese conflict.
Might BE Too Late
A delay In this parley, too. might
permit the Far Eastern war to end
itself and make any parley too late
to do other than Judge or condemn.
Britain's King George vi expressed
the hope the Brussels meeting would
contribute to q solution Of the Far
Eastern situation, in message Off
cially closing parliament.
He reflected distress" at attacks
on non-combatants in. China.
Despite q strong possibility Soviet
Russia would disagree on volunteer
Withdrawals and throw Europe into
another diplomatic stalemate, the
Spanish neutrality committee met in
q more optimistic atmosphere than
at any time since the Spanish con-
flict started Is months ago.
A contributing factor was British
Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's
assurance Of Britain's determination
not to 60 to war and the assurance
he said Italy had given Of no terri
t1ial designs on Spain.

FORMER CHAMPION

Corn 7est- Paying Crop

When the North Dakota stat.
Corn Show opens here oct. 2s, Otto
Mund Of Minor, again will be on
hand competing for the state cham
r;onship which he won In 1882.
He already has q cupboard full Of
cups won in past competitions but
In his opinion, one more wouldn't du
any harm and he Is going to shoot
the works.
Answering QUESTIONABLE by the
Corn Show committee, Mund reports
that he planted so acres Of corn this
year and got about IS bushels per
acre. Some Of 1t he labels pretty
good"
Asserting that 1t provides plenty Of
feed for all Of his farm animal ),
Mund said that corn Is the best
paying crop" in his part of the state,
being superior to wheat in this re-
spect.
With more and better corn, Mulld
said, farmers could raise more and
better livestock which would yield
more cash when marketed than
could be obtained from the grain.

ANARCHY IN TALK AT
TORONTO UNIVERSITY
U. S. Secretary Of State Ap.
peaIs to Outraged Con-
science Of Mankind
MENTIONS NO NATIONS
Points Finger at 'Agressor'
Powers; Is Given Honorary
Doctor Of Laws Degree

Toronto, Canada, Oct. 22.-(P-
Cordell Hull, Americas secretary oi
state, summoned the outraged con-
science Of mankind" Friday to set In
motion forces designed to restore
world peace.
In an address prepared for deliv-
cry at Toronto university, Hull In
Weighed against international law
lessness" generally but did not refer
specifically to the conflicts In China
and Spain to which his remarks OBJ
viously were intended to apply.
There Is grim paradox" he as
serted, "in the trends which are so
clearly discernible today. As civil
ization moves to higher and higher
levels, as the march Of progress opens
wider and wider horizons Of mater
ial and cultural advancement, war
becomes more relentlessly cruel, more
thorough and effective In its unre-
strained saYagery.
Seeds Of Hope
Yet In this very paradox, in this
soul-shattering conflict, there are
seds Of hope. No more than . COM
munity or nation, can the world Of
today base its existence in part on
order and in part on chaos, In part on
law and in part on lawlessness,
And, just as, sooner or later, the
outraged conscience Of community
or nation sets into motion forces
Which re-establish order under law,
50 I firmly believe the outrated con-
science Of mankind will set In mo-
tion forces which will create, In the
sphere Of international relations, un-
s!,akable order based on law"
Hull pointed an admonitory finger
ut aggressor nations.
Modern civilization has survived
and has gone ever forward because
the violators Of order, the breakers Of
the peace, have always been the ex-
ception rather than the rules" he
declared.
Gets Honorary Degree
Whatever tragedies they have
caused during their brief appearances
on the stage Of history, In the end
they have always bowed to the will Of
gtllat overwhelming majority Of man
kind which desires . continuing,
rather than an inglorious decline. Of
mans civilized existence"
Receiving from the university The
honorary degree Of Doctor Of Laws,
the American official spoke signifi-
cantly Of the peace aims, which he
said, the United States and the Brit
ish empire share in common.
Hull reiterated previous pleas for
complete and general respect for In
ternational agreements as an indis-
pensible condition to achievement Of
International order and warned that
no nation can escape the repercus-
sions Of . major armed conflict any
where In the modern world.

Franco Now Real
Dictator Of Spain
Fall Of cijon Gives insurgents
Control Over Two-Thirds
Of War-Torn Peninsula
(By the Associated Press)

(By the Associated Press)
Insurgent Spain Friday became
Europe.s newest, albeit embryo, Fas-
cjst state.
Diplomats met In London still to
debate how to get foreign fighters
out Of Spanish armies and lessen the
chances that other nations will be-
come openly involved In the Spanish
civil war.
But, even while they talked, 1t ap-
peared that Father Time himself
might solve the problem-that the
next few months might see . decisive
end Of the civil conflict.
The situation In Spain today-while
in the Far East another war carried
OH full blast-appeared to be:
Insureent Generalissimo Franco be-
came real dictator Of the territory he
holds-at least two-thirds Of Spain.
He set up q Fascist grand council to
govern it, with himself as its ALL
powerful head.
