NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page y

most choice opportunity for playing
his own shrewd game, for on the
very day when Chamberlain arrived
in Paris, announcement was made
that non-aggression agreement had
been tentatively arrived at between
Germany and France; it runs parallel
with that which Chamberlain and
Hitler signed at Munich on Septem-
Der 80, to secure perpetual peace be-
tween Great Britain and Germany.
Treaties are very beautiful to look
at, on the impressively embossed and
solemnly signed sheets of paper which
contain them, but experience has
taught the world good deal of dis
trust even in the seemingly most
iron-clad international agreements.
So, one should not rush into a state
of premature optimism!
Dictator Dreams. -.
Because Daladier in his own coun-
try is trying to set himself up as a
dictator, not wholly unlike Hitler
and Mussolini with whom he so re-
Gently hobnobbed at Munich, organ
lied labor in France is offering him
solid opposition. The confederation
of trades unions has declared it will
not stand for any dictatorship which
means concentration of all executive
power in one mans hands; longer
work weeks; smaller pay; increasing
taxes. But Daladier early this week
was determined to carry through, and
to anticipate a threatened general
strike scheduled for yesterday, No
vember 30), he took over the rail-
roads and by the simple method of
declaring that now they were being
run by the army, proclaimed all en-
ployes soldiers of the French army;
that would, in effect, mean that a
strike would be the same thing as
mutiny, punishable by long term i'm
prisonment.
The idea of dictatorship s not very
popular among the French, and even
though Daladier this time may sue
coed in establishing one-man rule, it
will not be of long duration.
Germany's Jews.
For the German Jews life is still
being made increasingly hard. They
are being prosecuted as violently as
ever; their property is being confis-
Gated; they are driven out of the
business life of the country; they are
told to pay 20 percent of any wealth
they may have above $2,000-in the
form of fine levied on the entire
Jewry as result of the shooting and
subsequent death of third secretary
of the German embassy in Paris; most
recent DEGREES stipulate that mar
riages between Jews and gentiles
must be dissolved by compulsory di
vorce.
In the meantime, efforts are being
made to find places of asylum for
those of the German Jews who are
able to leave their home country.
The British government is consider
ing plans for opening Jewish colonies
in West Africa-Tanganyika, Kenya
and British Guiana-and Germany
objects on the ground that much of
this territory formerly constituted
German colonial possessions. It is
argued in Berlin that if Jews are
settled in these regions, the idea of
the return of the German colonies
will be forever precluded. On the
other hand, the Jews themselves are
not too enthusiastic about the plan,
for they fear that in spite of present
appearances Germany may some day

ROYALTY! EXAMPLE.
(The Country Pressl

1t is not very often that we find
ourselves Fundamentally commend
ing the example of royalty, but it
seems, King George of Great Brit
ain, sets a good example for Amer
lean commoners in at least one re-
spect.
The King recently gave to the
municipal corporation of Windsor a
tract of land, containing eighty acres,
with the hope that, in considering the
future use of the land, the council
would be mindful of the requirements
of youth and do everything possible
to provide recreation to increase phys
ical fitness.
Not bad idea, even for King.
Maybe some democratic commoner
will be moved to demonstrate sim
liar interest in the youth of some
American municipality.

Sharpen your business by grinding

Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1938-12-01

You know it is almost always the
way with we of the great American
public to call up another friend who
has a good automobile and ask him
to ride with us, when others of our
group need way to 60 to the same
place.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1938-12-01

Well, you know the longer I am an
American the more clear it becomes
to me that we have many peculiarities
which at times seem laughable. Why,
one of our great American traits is
to shudder in dread of ruin because
we spend two and half billion dol
lars for education while at the same
time we are spending two and a
quarter billion for tobacco.

Mussolini, Hitler and Japan are about
to sign a war pact. 1t will forbid
one of the three to make peace with

have just as long claws.
Maybe there won't be any need
to enforce the Monroe Doctrine now
since the Mexican government has
taken over our big oil companies
property.
A news report tells us that New
York state farmers earned 81 per day
for their labor and management in
1887. BY golly, it seems those fell
lows are easy to please, judging by
their vote in the recent election
At least some farmers in the ma
ton have little to be thankful for
at this time. You know I'll bet those
New York farmers have the ambition
to some time make enough money
at the present rate to move to town
and open a bank where they can
lend money to farmers and eventually
become rich enough to retire and live
at ease on farm.
Folks, the favorite pasttime of the
world today seems to be war and
war talk. You know, think that a
good advertising stunt for some en-
terprising firm during the coming
year would be to get up schedule
for various wars which will be going
on. I would suggest that some OF
these fellows who are always playing
their games away from home, be
made to schedule one now and then
at home.
Very soon we, in order to get in
on war, will have to make our ap-
pointment considerably ahead of time
unless of course we want to combat
Hitler, who seems to be able to &C.
commodate all Corners at any time
Of course the first task for such {
schedule project would be to select
an experienced schedule committee
1 would nominate Mr. Hitler as chair
man, Mussolini as vice chairman anc
then I would place representative
of Japan's in the bunch and likewise
a Jew so as to insure the chair
mans instigation of a bigger and bet
ter schedule.
