A GREAT LEADER
Kanabec County Progressive)


Roosevelts program for recovery
and the business recession" were
clarified to the people in this country
when the President addressed his
message to congress and the nation.
Many points that have been vague in
the minds of the industrialists were
explained and an intelligent, construc-
tive program offered to our solons
Combining his efforts to the United
States, its people and economic con-
ditions, the President avoided for
eign entanglements. His extensive
travels abroad have shown him that
this country cannot remain isolated
to all foreign affairs but his native
intelligence is revealed by attending
to our own economic reforms first.
Our President again revealed to the
economic royalists" that he is the
president of all the people, and is as
much or more concerned in direct
relief than he is in aiding big busi-
ness.
Many reasons for failure of emer-
gency legislation to function as in
tended were given. Sabotage and the
psychological effects of the constant
attacks of the press has in large
measure been responsible for the re-
tarding of business-much more to
blame than high taxes. ....
Keenly aware that this country
must meet and correct many economic
conditions, the President is truly a
great leader and a humanitarian.
Other presidents, not so far seeing,
have known of existing conditions
and have shelved the necessary re-
forms either because that was the
line of least resistance or because
they had no constructive program.
The present administration has
made many mistakes but it has at
tempted more constructive and bene-
fetal work than Harding, Coolidge
and Hoover combined, and he has
made truly remarkable record.
Should congress follow along the
constructive lines of the Presidents
message, a great step forward will
have been made which will 60 far to-
wards eliminating future depressions
and unemployment, and aid mater
tally in fixing set price on farm
products.
The third term tradition for presi-
dent will undoubtedly be shattered
by public opinion if the present ses-
sion of congress embarks on the
Roosevelt program. The mans abil-
ity and principles cannot be denied.

Forward Step

This newspaper has for some time
been an advocate of reciprocal trade
and we have praised the work OF
Secretary of State Cordell Hull along
that line Now, Mr. Hull's foreign
trade program is in the final stages
of enactment. The United States and
Great Britain, according to recent
news announcements, are moving to-
ward the final stages of significant
commercial accord climaXing Mr..
Hulls program.
Mr. Hull would plan for a globe
circling market. 1t would include
not only Great Britain but also its
colonial empire and Newfoundland.
Only India and dominions of Ireland
will be excluded
It is planned to begin actual negoti-
ations of the agreement, designed to
achieve mutual tariff concessions as
soon as American interests have made
known their views concerning specific
items of commerce.
Secretary Hull has made public a
long list of imports upon which the
United States will consider granting
concessions and he has served notice
that public hearings will be held on
the list in Washington March IA.
If Secretary Hulls program goes
through and it is thought, since Brit
ish and American economic experts
have been engaged for more than a
year in its preliminary work, that
it will, it will do considerable good
toward promoting world peace and
world cooperation. We can talk peace
until doomsday while nations fight
but war seems to go on. Secretary
Hull's program will find a responsive
chord in those who look to each na-
ton from a strict commercial stand
point and after all it is the selfish
ness and the greed in peoples of the
earth which foster and bring on wars
If the United States takes the lead
ership in wisely expanding its trade
agreement then considerable of thai
selfish antagonism and envy will have
been abolished. Many other nation:
of the earth have come to look upor
the United States as "Shylock" JUS
because we have had policy of play
ing the big neighbor instead of the
good neighbor.
We hope that Secretary Hulls' pro-
gram will be forward step in world
harmony and we think it will.

Some Cold Figures

Editor Erickson of the Springfield
Advance-Press, in his usual informa
tive manner, gave his readers some
thing to think about in the following
expression as to the cost of the Worl,
war: .
Just in case our Uncle Samuel
made New Years resolution to
keep out of war, and at any time
finds it difficult to do so, here's a
few facts and figures on the direct
and indirect costs of the World
war, according to an authorita-
tive report by the Carnegie En-
dowment for International Peace.
The monetary cost of the war
was four hundred billion dollars,
which would have been enough to
furnish every family in the Brit
ish Isles, France, Belgium, Ger
many, The United States and
Canada with a $4,000 house on
$500 five acre lot, furnished
with $1,000 worth of furniture.
In addition it would furnish a
100000 library for every COM
munity of 10000 or more in these
countries, and a $10,000,000 uni
versity for every such commun-
ity. Another part, aside at SO
interest would yield enough to
pay for all time, every year,
$1,000 each to an army of 1885,
900 teachers, an army of $4,000
nurses, and there would still be
enough left to buy every single
bit of property and all wealth in
France and Belgium, including
every cathedral and church, all
public buildings, every railroad,
every factory, every farm, and
every home.
We not only subscribe to the abov
figures as being persuasive but Wi
add that the next war will be muc
different than the last one; no com
munity, even far flung from tn
actual war zone, will be safe. Gu
families, many of them especially il
the large centers, will be destroyed
The war makers who send us int
war will, perhaps, instead of reapin
shekels, reap ruin to their homes an
factories.
No, Uncle Sam never 60 to war :.
some one else's war!

diets that it will die on the floor
through a technical ruling.

The farm bill, which does not have
the APPROVAL of either Secretary Wal
lace or the farm organizations of the
northwest, is still in conference. It
is doubtful if the conferees will sub
NIT report before the first of the
month. 1t will probably be a very
different bill when it is finally passed
for there are certain amendments
which will in all probability be ac-
copied by the conferees, aimed at re-
ducing the possibility of running the
federal appropriation beyond reason
able limits.

must set the world an example
against tragic tide Of barharismo
now sweeping across the world, Sen
ator. Robert r. Wagner declared to-
night i'm speech at the opening
meeting Of the 29th annual confer
ence Of the N. A. A. G. P. in Shiloh
Baptist church.
America can best set this example,
the New York Senator declared, BY
strengthening democratic institutions,
promoting democracy in the econom
ic order, and fortifying it as way of
life; specifically, with reference to
the Negro, by passing federal anti
lynching law, by wiping out discrim-
ination in employment and in labor
legislation, and by providing decent
low-cost housing.
After reviewing briefly the cam
paign for passage of federal anti
lynching bill paying tribute to the
work Of the N. A. A. G. p, Senator
Wagner declared:
In the face of the record, we can
not afford, we dare not attempt to
give up the fight as won. The spirit
of the mob has not been quenched.
The states which should do the most
continue to be in position to do the
least. Need | recall to mind the
blow torch lynching of year ago?
Need tell you that last July, two
human beings were taken from a
jailhouse by lynching mob within a
stones throw of a state capitol, with
no action thus far except the state
ment of high official that 1t looks
like lot of earelessness here by
somebody? Need | recount how
nine monhs ago another human being
was shot to death with the pistol
taken from the officer supposed to
guard his life, while the mob shout
ed: $40 hell with the law? Need !
remind you that not simple arrest,
prosecution or conviction is recorded
for any Of the eight lynchings last
year?
'.For myself, ] renew the pledge |
made on the Senate floor las Feh-
ruarv:
believe in this cause; believe il
is righteous, and know that event
ually we will succeed s.. The fight
will 60 on, SO far as | am concerned
and | know speak for the others
interested-until we ultimately carry
out our point, because a righteous
cause, while it may be temporarily
defeated, viii eventually prevail.
Ia discussing the handicaps of Nc
groes in seeking employment and
economic security, Senator Wagner
cited the picketing of Washington,
ID. c., grocery store because it did
not employ Negroes although it en-
joyed large trade from the colored
neighborhood. Paying tribute to the
u. S. supreme court opinion which
sustained the picketers, the Senator
said:
"This pronouncement gives the
Negro an avenue of dignified protest;
it does not in itself make available
the jobs denied solely because Of the
color of his skin -.
aSound vocational training and
patient education of public opinion,
to put the Negro on an equality in
his struggle for livelihood; mini
mum wage and maximum hour legis-
lation, to maintain basic living stan
dards for white and Negro alike
these are the obvious requirements
for the long pull.
Senator Wagner asserted tat Ne
gro housing conditions were "inde-
scribable" and undoubtedly the
most vicious consequence Of the eco

Game Today.

On the well-manicured diamond at

Schools baseball team eagerly sought
to wrap its tenacles more firmly around
the interhigh championship at Gen.
trails expense.
Eastern, undefeated in three series
engagements and favorite to snatch
its tenth title in II years, virtually
would clinch the crown by spanking
the unpredictable Central outfit, which
established a record in its last en-
counter by burying Anacostia, 30-6, in
Q seven-inning game.
Determined to tumble interhigh
standings, Central was to depend on
Dick Rozelle. stubby right-hander,
while Coach Charley Guyon of Eastern
was to counter with Rip Carver or
Lefty Stockwell.
Western Could Go Ahead.
Twice postponed, the game was
significant to Western, which would
slip into first-place tie should Gen.
tral upset the defending champion.
The game was slated to get under way
at 3:15 o'clock.
Central followers chiefly were in
terested in the Columbia Heights track
team, however, as the two-day inter-
