tor ASkOv American:

Editor ASkOV American:
In the issue of September 1, two
impressive items appear, one, "Why
Can't it be Permanent" and the
other, M. j. Nelson's remarks as to
the Rev. Knudsen's evident lack of
true humanitarianism.
Your editorial truthfully states
''The farming population faces the
future with great uncertainty, and
labor faces it the same way In
duStry seems to lack confidence" etc.
The answer to both these problems
is a knowledge of the devine law of
economicS-'know the truth and the
truth shall make you free" Ministers
are, according to their training, often
more emotional than reasonable
neglecting to take heed of funda-
mental needs, namely freeing the
earth. The Bible states: "The earth
has He given to the children of men,"
Laviticus 25-23-"The land is mine
saith the Lord, it shall not be sold
forever" etc. We're our ministers and
legislators capable of understanding
the divine law of economics as laid
out by that great humanitarian, the
late Henry George, as study of his
Social Problems" reveals, and these
facts put into our statutes-freeing
the earth from the horrible crime of
landlordism as now practiced, young
people would not, as now, be driven
to tramp, and the evil pressure now
put onto women would by sane and
natural order be overcome.
More and more wealth would come
forth from work and labor free to
produce, without as now having to
pay more and more for the privilege
to work. This will keep trains busy.
Look it up-all We that love the
truth, which is God.

time ago found it expedient to for
get all about it.
Beyond the small circle of states
men who have arrogated to them
selves the right to settle the fate of
nations there is pretty widespread
consensus of opinion-and that ap-
plies to public sentiment in England
and France, too-that what has been
witnessed in Europe the last few
days, what is being witnessed even
when these lines are being read, is
the most astoundingly shameful pro-
ceedings on record for many year.
Even Italy's conquest of Ethiopia pales
into relative insignificance.
AS emphatically as the whole drama
brings out the territorial greediness
of Germany, it shows up the great
democratic nations of Great Britain
and France in a most abject, most
humiliating light.
And yet-just a day or two ago
word came from Oslo that someone
somewhere had nominated Mr. Ne
vile Chamberlain for this years
Nobel peace prize!

government should support the oil in
terests in collecting their invalid
claims
Mexico appropriated the oil lands
owned by all its foreigners and did
so in order to bring about a better
existence for its own people. We well
know that these interests have been
tapping MeXico's resources and reaped
billions in profits but at the same
time paid a measely wage to their
Mexican employees. These laborers
have been living like slaves ever since
the oil wells began operating 80 or 40
years ago. The Mexican people have
been exploited by foreigners ever
since the country became settled.
Mexico's rulers have been dictators
who have been put into power mainly
by the support of foreign. moneyed
interests, with the condition of the in
habitants continuing in the same de-
plorable state.
Now, when Cardenas has gained
control and is enacting reform to the
benefit of his own people, the United
States government should be the last
to prevent such progress.

another war with the manning and
killing of their best men and the re-
sultant ruin. They are making their
own nest and are entitled to do. so.
While the United States maintains
good national defense which is es-
sential, still conscientious steps have
been taken to adjust economic condi-
tons brought about by the machine
age, high Indebtedness caused by the
war and other factors felt through
out the whole civilized world. This
adjustment is not as easy to attain
as it could be. People who think in
the past, where one war after another
adjusted things, buck most all pro-
grams that the liberals of the coun-
try can devise. The old resort-to-
economic-clasS-warfare and actual
warfare seems to them the easiest way
out of the difficulty. The upper eco
nomic strata know that they can
weather war or a general depres-
sion, if they can hold the upper hand
They are more afraid of an economic
industrial and political upheaval. In
a critical situation the vast majority
of people jump the way they figure
they can save their own necks. They
may feel sorry for the other fellow,
but self-preservation comes first.
AS long as the common people can
keep control of their government and
keep it out of the hands of those
who are trying to make secure their
status of special privilege, that long
nation will progress.
When society becomes so organized
that only the welfare of the few on
top is considered, deterioration is
bound to set in. It would be nearly
insanity to return to special privilege.

IN REPLY-AGAIN
Editor Askov American:

fAShON american.
First the minor matter: Lars P.
Jensen objects to my use of the cap
ton 'The Church and the Commun-
ity" with the words: "It sounds like
he considers himself to be spokes-
man for every one in the community
on the issues involved" When 1 be-
gan to write under that heading l
wrote: ct should be understood that
l do not claim any special authority
nor special right" and tried to make
it plain that l wrote about church
and community problems.
And then: Lars P. Jensen states
that Communism is not based on the
assumption that there must be class
division, class struggle or class DOM
nation; we firmly believe they can
be abolished and antagonism cease by
removing the cause-exploitation. "
Permit me to make three other quo
tations in reply to this.
The Communist Manifesto of 1848
states in the last paragraph: 'The
Communists diSdain to conceal their
views and aims. They openly declare
! that their ends can be attained only
by the forcible overthrow of all ex-
listing social conditions"
Lenin states in 1.-THE State and Rev.
olution" (here quoted from Jerome
Davis: Contemporary Social Move
ments) that according to Marx, the
state is the organ of class domination,
the organ of oppression of one class
by another"
And Stain (again quoted from
DaviS): 1.-The fundamental idea of
the dictatorship of the proletariat as
the political domination of the pro-
letariat and as method of over
throwing the reign of capital by vio-
lence was created by Marx and En-
gels"
Communism is the faith of polit-
ical party or group, extreme in its
theory and practice Denunciation of
Communism does not necessarily
mean that one therefore denounces
all liberal and progressive measures
and leaps into the arms of Fascism.
We must not identify Progressivism
and Communism, which apparently
both extreme radicals and extreme
conservatives wish to do.
believe in the necessity of extern
sive changes in our present social and
economic system, because it is I'M
just. But this does not mean that
we necessarily must resort to force
to change it.
The gravest threats to political and
economic improvement undoubtedly
come today from Rightist groups.
| And the man who refuses to conform
to conservative standards and yet pro-
tests against extreme left views is
bound to be condemned from both
sides. The democratically progressive
way may be difficult one to pick
under pressure from both sides, yet
l still believe that it is the one to
| follow.

THE FARMER SHOULD COME
FIRST
(Thief River Falls TimeS)

liner hlVer ais IlmeS)
For many years we have heard
politicians promise parity prices for
the farmers but after many years
of talk we are probably as far from
the goal as we were when we started
Farmers are still getting less than
their share of the wealth that is dis
tributed each year.
Possible good effects of efforts that
have been made to improve condi-
tons for the farmer have been large
ly offset by other government pro-
grams that have increased the costs
of the goods the farmer must buy
Farmers have been told that the earn
ing power of other groups must be
increased in order that these other
groups will be able to buy more of
the things the farmer has to sell.
If this were true then the farmer
would have reason to cheer every
time other groups are favored. I'm
fortunately, however, it is not true.
The records prove that we do not
buy more of the products of the
farm as our ability to spend increases.
1t may be true that we eat fancier
foods as we can afford them but we
do not eat more food AS we earn
more we buy better automobiles and
radios. We travel more and we build
better homes and we enjoy more COM
forts and luxuries, but we do not
eat appreciably more.
In other words, as we are able to
spend more we buy more of the pro-
ducts of our factories, not more of the
products of our farms.
There is much truth, therefore, in
the statement that as the farmer re-
ceives more for his products he be-
comes a better customer of the city
man, but there is very little truth in
the statement that the more the city
man gets the more he will buy from
the farmer.
It would seem then that the first
concern of our politicians should be
the earning power of our farmers.
When they are benefited we are all
benefited. Our own farmers are a
better prospective market for the
products of our factories than all the
foreign markets combined that we
might gain by a good neighbor pol
icy. When we have set our own
house in order will be plenty of
time to start worrying about the eco
nomic problems of the rest of the
world.

DANCER SIGNALS

what may, they would fight for their
country and its integrity.
Danger Signals.
They may have to. In that case,
the fight will be an uneven one, a
most desperate one, an almost sui
cidal one. For the Czechs can no
longer trust friends who sold them
out to their enemy; of course not!
They are preparing for war; there
seems to be no alternative-and it
may be that there is no aid forth
coming There might be from an east
ern ally, Soviet Russia, but in Mos
cow very strange silence has been
steadily maintained, and no one
knows what Russia is planning to do.
The general idea is that should a
conflict break out, the Soviets are
ready to help the Czechs, but it is not
positively known.
In the meantime Mr.. Chamberlain
has once more gone to Germany to
tell Herr Hitler that he is too strong
for Great Britain and France; that
they are prepared to yield to his I'M
flinching demands; that they are will
ing to let Czecho-Slovakia be the
scapegoat.
Sudeten Germans Ready.
At the moment of writing-but
things change with amazing rapidity
these OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES indi-
Gates that the Anglo-French approval
of Germany's plans of annexation
will be turned down; on , the other
hand, Prague announces that the
plans will be subjected to consider
ation," so-no one knows what the
ultimate attitude of the Czechs will be.
But while negotiations have gone
on-without, by the way, participa-
ton of any representative of the
Prague government-thou upon
thousands of Sudeten Germans have
crossed the frontier and gone to
Germany where they have been
armed and uniformed, and where
they are kept in readiness for pos
sible attack on the country which,
after ALL is theirs. Daily they are
being eXhorted and melted by their
leader, Konrad Henlein who seems
to be somewhere in Germany" since
the Czech government the other day
issued warrant for his arrest on
charge of treason. AS the very brave
leader of millions he claims to be,
he chose the easier way: He fled his
country! But he maintains strong
contacts with the group whose wrath
his own propaganda has aroused
Mussolini Says Something.
Early this week Mussolini spoke at
Trieste. There had been a good deal
of guessing about his attitude, and it
had been limited that although Italy
was sympathetic to the German
cause" it might not be willing to
fight for it. Mussolini made it suf-
ficiently clear that in the event of
war the Italian legions will march
side by side with the Germans against
little Czecho-Slovakia. And even
Japan, busy with a most unexpect-
edly difficult war against China, has
promised aid-to Germany. Nobody
has definitely promised the Czechs
support. They who did promise some

LEAVE MEXICO ALONE
(Tri-COunty FOrum)

When Secretary Hull demanded of
the Mexican government that it repay
the American owners of Mexican oil
lands, recently appropriated by Mex
leo, he must have done so mainly be-
cause he wanted to satisfy the oil
companies and not with the idea that
he would enforce the demands.
These oil fields in Mexico have
been tapped by American and British
interests to such an extent that Mex
leo was forced to do something to
save itself and its natural resources
The Shell and Standard oil interests
have reaped profits many times the
investment that they originally made
Because they cannot continue to drain
Mexico's natural resources any longer
is no reason why the United States
