Opposes Return Of Colonies. "a
1t is said on high authority that
the American government is strongly
opposed to the return to Germany
of the West African colonies taken
from that country at the end of the
World war. If the report is true
President Roosevelt should be CEN
sored for interfering in a matter with
which we have no concern. This is
not the first time that he has "stuck
his head out" in European affairs and
it is beginning to look to me as though
he is seeking to go down in history
as a war President, otherwise why
would he ask for such enormous sums
for preparedness on land and sea, and
also, why does he continually inter-
ject himself into questions with which
we have little or no concern. Mr..
Roosevelt must realize that the more
we interfere in European affairs the
more likely we are to be drawn into
the next war. It would seem that
he has his hands full at home with
between IL and IL million people
out of work, with factories running
only part time or completely shut
down and with over 20 millions on
relief.
He demonstrated his weakness for
butting in when he attempted to purge
certain Senators and Congressman in
the late campaign. At that time he
got his wrists spanked for his pains,
but interfering with foreign affairs
is much more serious matter. I am
thinking that we will all give sigh
of relief when his successor is sworn
in.

Bakery Entered.

Petty thieves broke into the Askov
Bakery Sunday night. Entrance was
gained through the rear door after
attempts to enter through window
had failed; the window was broken
but iron bars inside prevented en-
trance. 1t appears that entrance
through the ventilating fan opening
had also been attempted. Conrad
Christensen, the proprietor, states
that some pennies left in the cash
register, a few pies and loaf cakes
appear to be the only things missing.

One Hours Pay Can Buy 4 to l2 Times More Food
 Than in Europe

New York, December 28-(UP)- The American workingman can purchase with one hours pay from four to twelve times more food and clothing than workers in the totali- tartan states, the National Asso- citation of Manufacturers reported today on the basis of a survey.
 Chart after chart shows the workers of the chief totalitarian states, Russia, Germany and Italy, at or near the bottom of the list in purchasing power" the association said.
 "On the other hand, 1t is in the democracies, where individual free- dom and the private enterprise sys- tenn prevail, that work is shown to buy more," the report continued.
 "A factory worker in the United States can buy four times as much food and clothing with an hours wages as a German worker; nine times as much as an Italian work CT, and nearly 12 times as much as a Russian worker"
 The survey cited an average bask- ct of food and said that in the United States one hours work will purchase 283 baskets against only l.23 basket in France. English and Belgian workers can buy Ill bask- cts of food with one hour of pay while Italian and Russian workers can buy less than 1 full basket and those in Germany 1.O2 baskets.
