that the association has done this
good work. 1t has bought a new
two-plate electric stove to aid in
the continuation of hot lunches this
winter. During the study of Com
munity Life" the pupils took two
excursions. One was to the Light
house tower and the other to the
home of Robert Derrickson. The
land was bought from the Indians
in 1880 and the present house built
in 1879. The children saw the can
non ball that was fired from a
pirates boat in 1747 after the
home had been plundered by the
pirates. A Halloween Social will

Just Good Practice

After reading so much and hearing
so much about the tremendous cost
to the government entailed by the
Amelia Earhart hunt in the South
Pacific, it is rather refreshing to hear
that President Roosevelt has said that
the hunt meant no additional expense
to the government. Some had even
placed the cost at $4,000,000.
Possibly the amount of money spent
in salaries of those who took part,
the oil burned by the ships and the
expense of running the airplanes did
cost that much, but as the president
said the cost would have been the
same anyway, since the ships have
to burn oil and the airplanes are re-
quired to participate in so many hours
of flying activity each day anyway.
Therefore, whether the navy is en-
gagged in humane practice of saw
ing some one from watery grave,
or just plain practicing, does not seem
to make much difference in the gov
ernment's outlay of cash.

BOLSHEVIK BABY BOOM
(St. Paul Dispatch)

A little over a year ago Russia,
following the example of Italy and
Germany, adopted laws discouraging
divorces and giving bounties for large
families Although similar laws to
boost the birth rate in Fascist coun-
tries have had little effect, the result
in Russia have exceeded all eXpecta-
tons.
Under the impetus of the new laws
Russia's population increase has risen
from a yearly average of four mil
lion to an expected eight million this
year. Japan, the country with the
second greatest birth rate among
world powers can boast popula-
ton increase of only one million,
while Germany and Italy, despite the
threats and cajoling of their respec-
tive dictators, are left way behind.
But if Stain goes on shooting peo-
pie at his present rate, what good
will it do?

New Leader

Senator Alben w. Barley from
Kentucky, is the new Democratic
leader in the United States Senate,
having defeated Senator Harrison
from Mississippi. The race was close
with the victor winning 38 to 81.
The election of Senator Barley
to succeed the late Senator Joseph T..
Robinson, whom he formerly assisted,
will be hailed by many as being IA
vorable to the presidents court plan,
since he was assistant to a strong ad-
vocate of the plan. However, his
election was closely contested.
1t is somewhat of a novelty for the
Democrats in the United States SEN
ate to meet and elect a leader, for it
has been Is years since they elected
Senator Robinson. He served dur
ing that time in a capable manner
without challenge or interruption. 1t
will be interesting to see if the close
vote on the new leader will contri-
butte to split in the ranks in that
body.

HE MARRIED THE FORMER KING
1.-The Country PreSS)


The Rev. Robert Anderson Jardine,
who became internationally famous
when he performed the marriage
ceremony for the Duke of Windsor
and Mrs. Wallis Warfield, is in this
country for a series of talks, but he
did not come here, he says, to fill his
pockets with money or anything like
that.
Be the purpose of his visit what it
may, we are interested in his eX-
PLANTATION of the reasons why he vOlun-
teered to perform the ceremony five
days before the wedding.
Says Mr.. Jardine: 1.-THE couple were
asking for a religious ceremony and
it was refused. | thought it very
unfair of the Church of England not
to look at the wedding from the spirit
ual standpoint. The Archbishop of
Canterbury took a political view of
the subject"
1t is not for us to quarrel with
church authorities when they act as
they see their duty in any given cir
cumstances, but it is not q pleasant
commentary upon organized religion,
or any other kind, when a man and
woman seek the comforts of religion
to be met with refusal because they
do not happen to fit into the scheme
of things that suit the church.

FOR LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Editor ASkoV American:

Editor ASkOV American:
If there had been organized such
a league of the nations as President
Wilson had planned, it would have
ended the wars. But who was it that
objected to it? AS 1 understand it,
it was first of all his own country.
He had it that way, that all nations
should be equally safe, as no dispute
should be settled with arms; and all
nations on the earth should belong
to the league.
The first dispute when the nations
should organize, was who should be
admitted as members. Then it was
agreed to that, whoever could give
guaranty, should be admitted as men,
bers, but there was nothing said about
what there should be given guaranty
for, as there was nothing. But it
looks like that it was to check it, so
it should not be as Wilson would
have it., that all nations should be
members and be equally safe. Equal
ly safe would be to have equal rep
resentation, and disarmament would
be the result if each small nation
should have as much to say about
it as each of the big nations. There
was some talk about disarmament,
but then it was claimed that they
were bound to have enough arma-
ment for defense, but if it had been
total disarmament there would have
been nothing to make an attack with,
and the only thing needed would have
been police force to keep order at
home.
Then it was said that some nations
would make something secretly. But
! it could be so all nations should keep
investigators in other countries, with
right to go to any and all factories
to investigate and if war materials
were found, or any preparations were
found, that nation should be pun
ished the same as if it had started
war.
All violations of the laws of the
league of the nations should be pun
ished by being cut off from bushes:
with the rest of the world, regard
less of all contracts previously made
But such league of the nations VIZ
cannot get as long as nearly the whole
world is governed by money sharks
or their representatives.
The league did not die, as it never
lived when it never has been in &C.
ton. 1t is letting Japan rob Chin;
right along and it let Italy rob ETH
opia and it let Italy and Germany

DIFFERENT ATTITUDE
ASkov American:

Editor ASkOV American:
The tax problem having been
solved to reasonable degree, Min
nesota still has a solvable problem
in relief. Most people are better
and feel better when they have
job that they respect. Some work
makes a person feel ridiculous-in
the long run it is only when per-
son feels that he is going somewhere,
that he starts to take an interest.
The underlying causes Of relief
have been allowed free play so long
that many think it is here to stay.
To a certain degree yes, but not
in its present magnitude.
About Is years ago l had chance
to visit Italy. l remember going
through Naples thoroughly and saw
the squalor and poverty of the slums
of that city Italians told me that
was the way it had been for hum
dreds of years. There simply was
nothing to do about it. However, l
understand that conditions in this city
are now greatly improved-certainly,
negative minds and policies did not
bring this about.
There are many things that can
be done: the first is not to create work
but to fill the jobs already here and
available The idea of men in the re-
lief centers going out in the harvest
fields, getting two or three months
work is a step in the right direction.
They will have chance to make some
real money and at the same time
many of these men will get an entire
ly different attitude. They will get
into a different environment and see
things from different angle. Many
will probably never return, at least
not in a frozen state of mind. For
men who want job in a bank or
a nice soft civil service job right
away there is no hope, but for those
who are willing to accept most any
thing there is.

The ST. Paul Pioneer Press in
one of its recent issues, printed
a very pertinent editorial, since
war clouds are hanging low over
foreign lands The Press editorial
under the above caption follows:
Secretary Hull's statement on for
eign policy, evidently aimed at the
present Japanese conflict,
contains number of generalities of
such self-evident truth as to seem
platitudinous Yet they are not so
self-evident over great part of the
globe today, including the United
States. as to be in universal practice.
In fact. as the guns boom out in
Spain and China and the militarists
look hopefully at each others threats,
they are hardly in practice at all.
Having begun with the statement
that even disorders of an apparently
regional bearing threaten the rights
and interests of all others. Secretary
Hull lays down the principle that
there can be no serious hoStilities any
where in the world which will not
one way or another ''affect interests,
rights or obligations of this country"
Yet the official policy of this coun-
try is to believe that America is eff
fectively isolated from the rest of
the world and can with safety let
all others shoot themselves off the
face of the earth if they wish to do
so. Since Secretary Hull unquestion-
IL -. el- ss,>1o
it safe policy are actually greater
than those of taking a chance for
peace. Neutrality is condition that
seems desirable only until the time
comes to be neutral. Then reasons
begin to appear for taking sides; wit
ness the ardor and aid for the Span
ish loyalists by many who advocate
peace at any price policy for Amer
lea in other situations.
Secretary Hull goes on to describe
American principles. We believe in
abstinence from force; in peaceful
negotiations; in keeping agreements
and in the sanctity of treaties but in
their voluntary modification when
need therefore arises; in the promo
ton of economic security and stabil-
ity all over the world: in the lower
ing of economic barriers and equality
of commercial opportunity among ma
tions; in reduction and limitation of
ornaments; and in avoiding alliances
and entangling commitments.
These are ideals which seem re-
mote from the realities of a world
in turmoil over the politics of sheer
power and conflicts between COM
munism and fascism.
Will Japan respect the Nine Power
treaty guaranteeing the integrity of
China or its own appetite for more
of China and most of Siberia? Will
France and England rectify the
wrongs Of the Treaty of Versailles
and modify them ''by orderly proc
esses carried out in spirit of mu-
tual helpfulness and accommoda-
tom" And would Hitler change his
mind or his ultimate detectives even
if they did? And how shall all this
apply to Mussolini, who believes in
war as something good in itself and
who thinks it would make his people
happy if the Mediterranean were an
Italian lake?
Ten or fifteen years ago these ques-
tons might have been answered diff
ferently. Today these ideals can be-
come dominant again only if the final
explosion of the sinister and baleful
forces abroad can be postponed long
enough to allow the world to regain
sanity and reason.
