NEW WAY TO HANDLE CROP
SURPRISES
(LabOr)

Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
suggests that instead of dumping
American cotton on foreign markets,
for any price it may bring, thus
substituting European and Asiatic cot
ton manufacturers, we try a new
scheme.
"Why not for once give our own
consumers and our own workers a
break?" asks Mr. Wallace. His idea is
that large part of our surplus cot
ton crop can be turned into cloth to
be distributed among the needy,
among our own people at price
they can afford to pay.
He makes the interesting observa-
ton that "back in the '20's' we ex-
ported an immense amount of cotton
and other farm products on credit
and that in most instances we have
not been able to collect. eff any gifts
of cotton are going to be made under
the present administration, our own
people ought to come first" he said.
Of course, Mr.. Wallace's proposal
would involve radical change in our
farm policy. We would pay more at
tention to increasing consumption in
this country. After all, that is the
real remedy. If Americans could buy
what they need, there wouldn't be any
surplus of farm products.

TEN REASONS WHY BENSON
SHOULD NOT BE REELECTED

Editor Askov American:
There are at least 10 reasons why
Elmer Benson should not, in my
opinion, be reelected Governor:
l. He has appointed many known
Communists and extreme radicals to
key positions in the state government,
giving them undue prestige, patronage
and power.
2. His own personality, which is
autocratic, critical and often profane
and abusive towards those who dis
agree with him.
3. He permits his henchmen to COL
lect from one percent to three per-
cent regularly from the salaries of
state employees under his direction
and to demand extra contributions
in campaign years.
a. He encouraged and abetted the
strike against the Land O'Lakes
creamery for a union ''closed shop"
5. He encouraged and supported
the timber strike last winter which
drove the pulpwood business to Can
ada and forced many small farmers
and timber workers on direct relief
or WPA.
6. He encouraged the so-called Peo-
pies Lobby, which broke up several
sessions of the Senate and messed
up the capitol by telling them cts
all right to be a little rough once in
awhile"
7. On the Pardon Board, he says,
'let them all out" except known
gangsters, and constantly criticizes
the courts and the parole board for
not releasing criminals sooner Since
he has been in office more murderers
have been released than in the pre-
ceding 25 years.
8. He defeated the model civil
service bill prepared by the American
Federation of Labor, the League of
Women Voters and other forward
looking organizations by insisting
upon law which would vest greater
power in his office
9. His tax program is forcing in
dustries and rich men to leave this
state, thereby reducing employment
and taxes which they would furnish
and pay.
10. His policies are forcing the state
further and further into debt.
The Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor, Thomas Gallagher, is fine
fellow, with forward program, but
comedies that he has no chance of
election, and so a vote for him is
vote cast to the winds.
The only way to get rid of the lead
ership of Benson and his little clique
of so-called Mexican generals is by
voting for Harold Stassen, the young,
energetic, fairminded, able Repub-
lican standard bearer, who believes
in fair labor relations act which
will prevent strikes, in an honest
civil service law, in open and COM
petitive bidding on all state con-
tracts instead of handing them out
to favored few in return for polit-
ical contributions and support, in the
maintenance and liberalization of old
age assistance, in providing ample

A Necessity &?

Many have noticed with a note of
alarm and sadness that Norway and
Sweden have recently launched upon
an armament program, designed, it is
supposed, to offset any attack in
fluenced by the turmoil Europe and
the old world in general has recently
found itself in. Many have felt sad
over that situation since the Scandi-
navian countries have almost become
a synonym with peace. They went
through the World war without TAX
ing part and and it is sad now to
think that they also must prepare
against war.
1t is reported by Prof. Lawrence
D. Steefel of the University of Min
nesota that the Danes are becom-
ing uneasy over Denmark's proXi-
nifty to Germany and special evil
dence of the strain, says Prof. Steefel,
was noticed between the agricultural
and urban sections of the population.
There was a general fear, expressed
by most of the Danes with whom
talked, that Germany would even
tually take over the country" Prof.
Steefel said, and that there is a
small Danish Nazi party, mainly fl
nanced by a few large landowners,
and there is a Communist party of
about the same size"
If those conditions are true, it is
plain to see that Hitler plans an agrees
sion designed to net the German
nation much more than her lost colo
MES and the fact that the Scandi-
navian countries are arming, is cause
for alarm.
1t is indeed tragic to see peace-lov-
ing people like the Scandinavians
being forced to mar the romantic
peacefulness of their countries with
the clank of sabres and the rattle
of bayonets, but it is possible that
the steel of the dictators will be felt
more plainly as time goes on. They
are thirsty for power and they will
get it regardless of whether it is
soldiers who stand in their way or
whether it means the lives of inno-
cent women and babes.

Freedom Of Thought

In her address before the New York
Herald Tribune's 1888 forum on cur
rent problems, Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt said: eff we are going to
keep ourselves ready to face the world
tomorrow, we must listen to young
people. We will not always agree
with them and they will not always
be right, but the majority among
them will help us to approach new
ideas with an inquiring mind"
1t certainly is necessary for us to
look to the young people for new
ideas and new suggestions as to a
way of meeting some of the prob
lens facing us today. Free thinking
by them and by us is the only way
our problems can be solved.
We cannot live in the past and
meet problems which we are to face
in the future; we must progress.

NO OTHER CONCLUSION
Editor ASkov American:

Editor Askov American:
A complaint has been received by
me claiming unfairness in an article
printed last week in the Askov Amer
lean, Against Republicanism," espe-
cially that part touching on activ-
tiles causing the defeat of certain
bill which was to force the Board
of Control to sell farm machinery and
Irvine made at the Saltwater prison
at lower price by Roy Dunn as lead
er of the Republican party. 1t has
been called to my attention that GER
tain Farmer-Laborites voted against
this bill during the 1888 session. I
get this information from radio
speech delivered October 7, 1888, by
Mr.. Dunn and printed in the Fergus
Falls Journal Friday, October 7, 1888
The Farmer-Laborites who voted
against the bill are accordingly, Har-
old Atwood, Joseph Kodak, DR.. La

relief for those who are in need
through no fault of their own, in en-
couraging industries to locate and
expand in Minnesota so as to reduce
unemployment and direct relief needs,
in building up agriculture to point
where the farmer can again obtain
cost of production plus a profit and
in suppression or rigid control of the
uSurious loan sharks who prey upon
the small borrower in the cities.
To make the job thorough, give
him a friendly legislature and sur
round him with Holm, King, Schmahl,
Burnquist and the other Republican
candidates.
All parties agree that amendments
and to the state constitution are
good, so please vote Eyes" on each
of them.

Last week a gentleman used the
"Opinions of Others" column of this
newspaper for an article claiming un-
true statements were printed by the

which members of the Workers Ali
ance had with county officials. Now,
he had a perfect right to the use of
the column and we sincerely invite
everyone to use the column, but he
had no right to misrepresent what
he claimed was Misrepresentation
The editorial files contain a steno-
