RebrOadcast of RO0seuelt's
Message Hailed BY McReynolds
Wonderful Opportunity to Get An,eri.
can Vie,Us Direct to Foreign
People, He Saws.

Rebroadcast today to millions of
foreign listeners in their native
tongues of parts Of President Roose-
velt's message to Congress marked
the high point of a program planned
to Offset propaganda from foreign
government radio stations with broad
casts carrying the American point of
view over the heads of censors to the
far corners of the world.
Important parts of the Presidents
speech, including those expressing
faith that democracy would replace
dictatorship governments and calling
for strong national defense pro-
gram, were translated and broadcast
in six languages to Europe and South
America by the National Broadcasting
Co. today.
NJ B. c. officials said this record
breaking service was undertaken VOL
unfairly by its international division,
which carries on a daily program of
19 Short-wave broadcaStS in six Ian
euages of news comment slanted to
emphasize the american point of
view"
McReynolds Halls Program.
The program was hailed today as
OF great value in promoting demo-
cratic policies of this Government by
Chairman Sam D. McReynolds of
the House Foreign Affairs Commit
tee, who in significant speech last
week urged strong action by the
United States to uphold its rights
and the sanctity of treaties in the
Far East.
Il think it is wonderful for this
opportunity to be given to get our
ideas directly to the people in other
parts of the world, especially at this
trying time, when other nations are
using every means possible to put
their propaganda before the world"
Mr.. McReynolds said.
An N. B. c. spokesman said the
broadcasting company considered its
foreign language broadcasts "patri-
otto duty" He emphasized that the
company was solely responsible for
Initiating the program and that it
had not been suggested by Govern
ment officials.
To Offset Foreign Propaganda.
Chief purpose of the program, it
was explained, is to offset the foreign
propaganda contained in news broad
casts from government controlled
radio stations from other countries,
particularly thos ruled by dictators.
Expense of the broadcasts is borne
solely by the broadcasting companies
at present, with the idea that they
might pave the way for commercial
short-wave broadcasts in the future.
The routine broadcasts are COM
posed chiefly of news items, selected
to give a constructive view point of
American life-with news about
gangster activities and murders
played down" - supplemented by
special items of foreign interest pre-
pared with the cooperation of the
foreign trade division of the Com
merce Department and the State De-
partment
Rebroadcast of parts of President
Roosevelt's message of yesterday was

Few Changes In
Prices
Generally Steady Rates;
Spots Higher on Cattle
Due to Water Fills.

South st. Paul, Mimi, May 81,
1888: After what amounted to prac-
tically three-day cessation of bust
ness, practically all branches of the
livestock trade took up where they
left off last week, according to the
Federal-State Market News Service
The post-holiday receipts were not as
large as expected, being about the
same amount as a normal Monday
In the cattle division, prices were
generally steady, although the pres
ence of liberal water fills tended to
make some cattle actually cost high
er. Fed steers and yearlings turned
largely at $500 to 1925, with a few
loads of choice light and medium
weight steers at $685. to $780, Plain
grass steers and yearlings were dull,
going below $500 mostly. Fed heif-
ers earned $3.50 to $3.50, with odd
lots up to $500 and plain descriptions
down to $3.50 or less. A spread of
$5.75 to $3.50 included sales of beef
cows, all slaughter she stock COM
pairing fully steady with the close of
last week. Bulls were steady and
vealers, while largely steady, dis
played a weak undertone. A fairly
active trade for stockers and feeders
revealed fully steady rates.
With the exception of 10c drop
in the top, Tuesdays hog trade was
fully steady with the close of last
week. Good and choice 40 to 26O
pound offerings brought $500 to So. 40;
260 to 800 pounds $500 to $8.25 and
heavier weights $40 to $500. Sows
had spread of $40 to $765. Con-
sidering that today's run was a two
day supply, receipts were light at
$500 head. Dressed pork values rose
and the shipper demand was fairly
broad, indicating that price structure
at present is fairly well founded.
Little change was noticeable in
the sheep and lamb trade. An ex-
ception to this was the fact that fat
shorn ewes found it more difficult to
pass the $500 mark. Killers were on
the lookout for fat spring lambs, but
only few head arrived to earn $500.
Good to choice clipped lambs brought
$500 to $725 and most shorn ewes
earned $2.75 to $500.

School Group Takes
An Interesting Trip

George 1. Glen, principal of the
Askov high school, conducted a tour
of places of interest and educational
value at Hibbing Friday. The trip
was made by Is senior high school
students in Jens P. Bie'S school bus
Rudolph Bagge assisted with the driv-
ing during the 296-mile trip.
H. E. Loye, former chief engineer
of the Oliver Iron Mining Co., con-
Quoted the group through the mine
where they saw the mining opera
tons, the laboratory work and the
shops. Mr.. Loye was very courteous
to the visitors and his efforts gave
them the opportunity to get more
of educational value than they could
otherwise have obtained.
The students were also taken
through the glass school, the memorial
building and the fine Hibbing school
building. Each student paid his share
of the trip and what deficit there
will be is to be taken from the school
activity fund.

International
News Review
BY GEORG sTRANDvOLD

Only last week it was reported that
the French government had appealed
to the United States to intervene in
the European complications arising
out of the troubles of Czecho-Slo-
vakia and that country's relations with
Germany; to the report was added
the statement that the Washington
government had categorically refused
to interest itself-and later on it de-
veloped that France had made no
such appeal; that, consequently
America had given no such reply.
A few days later, however, Wash
ington spoke-through the voice of
Secretary of State Cordell Hull who
issued a statement to remind Czecho-
Slovakia as well as Germany that
they had both signed the BRAND
Kellogg treaty against war, and that
they, therefore, were bound by that
to abstain from war, and to settle
whatever difficulties might arise be-
tween them, in a peaceful way.
Mr.. Hull's declaration served as a
reminder that there is such a treaty;
events of recent years have had a
tendency to make the world forget
that 60 nations have put themselves
under obligation never to 60 to war.
Not War.
AS for addressing the warning to
Czecho- Slovakia-well, that really
seemed to be shooting beside the
mark, for that country has no inten-
ton of indulging in aggression. And
as for Germany-Adolf Hitler, the
chief executive of the government of
that country, has abundantly made it
clear that he will not resort to war
if he can achieve what he wants to
achieve, peaceably. The annexation
of Austria was an illustration.
On the other hand it is true that
about ten days ago there was danger
of an outbreak, but it vanished as
soon as Great Britain, France and
Soviet Russia made it probable that
a German threat of war against
Czecho-Slovakia would mean an at
tack on German borders; the Berlin
government then suddenly reacted
in a farovable way: There was no
further talk of immediate war.
Still, Europe looked with misgiv-
ings at the years second series of
municipal elections in Czecho-Slo-
vakia last Sunday, but beyond a
minor case of rioting at Gutenberg,
nothing untoward happened in con-
nection with the election. This,
joined to the fact that negotiations
between the Czech government and
the Sudeten Germans have been re-
sumed, acted as a reinsurance that
peace of Europe is not likely to be
seriously jeopardized right now.
New Conferences.
A breakdown in the conferences be-
tween Italy and France concerning a
friendship treaty like that recently
signed between Italy and Great Brit
ain has been followed by an indi-
cation that negotiations will again
be begun.

of the meeting is to organize for con-

done nothing more than to delay
Warm weather of a week

then is when the trouble begins. If
wet weather again continues then
the young hoppers will be killed, but
is dry weather prevails then work
