MILLION DOLLAR
 CARGO OF MOVIES
(Continued from Page D

(Continued from Page D are pledged to fight with every means at our command and while strike is an ugly word, 1t sometimes is an effective plan of action" Trouble makers were conspicuous by their absence.
 Plots, Counter Plots
 The fight has more angles and plots and counter-plots than a de- tective story.
 "Its so doggone mixed up that the public probably will never un- dyrstand," said John Garfield, who wanted to make the trip but had to stay home and make movies i've been talking myself blue in the face trying to explain 1t to the actors themselves. Most of them don't even understand. Most of them are too interested in their own careers to be much concerned about abstract justice"
 Stripped of all the side issues, the battle boils down to the fact that the American Federation of Actors has been granted 8 charter by the International Alliance of Theatrical stage employees. Previously the Federation was part of the Asso- ciated Actors and Artists of Amer ica-and the screen guild demands that the actors be returned to that sponsorship, in a newly-created union.
 AS Morgan put it: ~ nat does a stage hand know about the prob- lens of an actor?"
 Spectacular Take off
 With theatrical foresight the guildsmen made their plane takeoff as spectacular as movie premiere. They set up Il studio floodlights so cameramen could get good pictures. They even provided highballs for the photographers.
 Some 2,000 people, about half wearing screen guild ribbons, thronged the airport. Among them were such stars as James Cagney, Franchot Tone and Pat O'Brien- and AS of the toughest stunt men in town. The latter were oh hand to quell any possible disturbances by stage hands; but trouble makers were conspicuous by their absence.
 Untoward Incidents
 1. Arnold, making his first trip on an airplane, refused to take off his ice cream pants and put on pajamas once aboard the sleeper plane. He said he was scared. The stewardess assured him he could sit up all night, with his pants on.
 2. Miss Barnes, beauteous in 8 yellow hat and light-colored suit, discovered that there were 13 men and women aboard the ship, count ing the crew. She said she would not go. VIVA officials settled that by assigning a press agent to go along and break the jinx.
 Each passenger had his life in- sured for $50,000 for the trip, mak- ing Q total of $450,000 worth of policies. Estimating conservative iy the salaries of the delegates at S2O00 week each, or a total of more than $1,000,000 year, made 1t one of the most prosperous groups of junketeers ever to leave Hollywood. They also were one of the most vociferous. They all had the same ideas about the union en- broglio, which Auer summed up:
 "Confidentially, 1t stinks."

JAPAN PROTESTS
 GREAT BRITAIN
(Continued from Page D

(Continued from Page D
 The extent to which the incident angered the Japanese was shown by a Japanese Domei dispatch from Hong Kong.
 Japanese Demands
 It said that the Japanese consult ate at Swatow had demanded that the British consul "admit that Brit ish sailors were involved in the riot" that compensation be paid for @ Chinese wounded amidst the rioting," that Britain apologize and punish the sailors involved and that Britain guarantee that there be no further incidents.
 Hankow reported that Vice Consul John Davies, Jr. of the American consulate, had sailed aboard Jap- anese steamship to investigate the condition of Americans isolated for months at Kiukiang and Manchang, in Japanese-occupie territory.
 Particularly, Davis sought to ef- feet direct contact with L. w. Hol- land, of the American Methodist Epescipal mission at Nanchang. Japanese reported that he was ar- rested June 13 and held on "se- rious" charges of anti-Japanese &C., tivities. Later this was denied and the consulate received letter from Holland-which 1t suspected might have been written under duress- saying that he was all right and had not been seized.
 Real News Fails
 Persistent efforts by the consult ate to get real news of Holland and other Americans had failed.
 A Japanese Domei agency dis- patch from Peiping reported that two unidentified Canadian Cathol- ic fathers and four Chinese had been arrested at Huschow charged with "espionage." It was alleged, the dispatch said, that they had or- ganized an "anti-Japanese" group among Chinese Christians and that they had reported movements of Japanese troops to Chinese Guer- rillas.
 The dispatch said that Japanese gendarmes threatened to take strong action against the persons seized.
 British missionaries at Peiping reported that MI. and Mrs. Ralph Scoville, of Los Angeles attached to the China inland mission, had left Hwoksien, in Shansi province, at the request" of the Japanese army. The missionaries said that the "re- quest" was made because Britons had previously lived in the house occupied by the Scovilles. The mis- sionaries added that the Japanese had showed the Americans every possible courtesy, had aided them in packing and promised to protect their property. The Scovilles were reported to be at Taiyuan now.

81 am not clear what boom it was that
the Senate debated unless it was the
third-term BOOM"
The stock market is the best barom-
eter we have. When the news flashed
over the country that the House had
voted to investigate the National
Labor Relations board, and passed the
Hatch ''pure politics" bill, which
would bar Federal officials below the
rank of cabinet member from taking
active part in political conventions
and campaigns, both in one day, it
heartened those who have been ap-
prehensive of the course of events
and the stock market boom reflected
that feeling.
AS this is written the Hatch bill is
before the President for approval.
The White House was opposed to the
passage of the Hatch bill, which
would also prohibit political activities
on the part of WPA. There are those
who believe the measure will either
be vetoed or allowed to become law
without approval. My guess is that
the President will sign it in difference
to public opinion, which is strong for
this legislation.

WILL OFFER SOLUTION TO
FARM MYSTERY"

Editor Askov American:
l have just read your editorial
headed 1.-THE Farm Mystery" pub
lished in your good paper of July 20,
wherein you give some pertinent
figures showing how the farmers
income has declined recently as COM
pared with 1910. However, the arti-
Gle fails to recommend a remedy for
this bad situation, and differing from
most editorials you admit you offer
no remedy but ask: What is it?
I merely drop you these few lines
to say that when l speak at the picnic
sponsored by the Pine County Co-ops,
which will be held at the Cheng-
Watana Dam site a mile east of Pine
Camp near Pine City on the afternoon
of Sunday, July 80, am going to
answer that question completely and
in detail.
There's an old saying that "Fools
step in where angels fear to tread, u
and when l see how many folks
dodge the answer to the question
you pose, maybe am the "fool," but
Notwithstanding all of that am going
to wade right in on this subject al
the picnic, and hereby extend an in
vitation to all of your readers to
come out and see the fun.

1t has been suggested that the

miles with population of 3,7O1 900,
or about the size of the state of Texas.
Naturally, these unfortunates would
like to stay together, and they should.
That can only be done by acquiring
definite territory where they may
have an opportunity to live their lives
and develop according to their abil-
tiles. To scatter them to the four
corners of the earth would be cruel
and worse.
No country that l know of is cap
able of absorbing such considerable
number. Therefore, the solution
would seem to lie in finding a terri
tory where they might find peace
and acquire permanent home OF
their own.

sunni
Editor Askov American:
h-all-fish-hooks. BY Yingly!
We sure do feel ashamed what with
not even being able to see that notice
about the annual school meeting. And
it's all fixed up with black letters
too. Heard the same thing happened
to the Conservation meeting last
Thursday.
I'd like to offer the suggestion that
you run a regular feature column
every week and call it 'Where to Co.
or What to Do" or 'How to Keep
From Getting Bored" or some such
Of course, it might take two columns
sometimes.
Maybe we ought to have a Com
munity Calendar in the town hall
and a council to decide what dates
organizations may have for meetings
Most of us belong to at least three
organizations and some of the more
active persons must belong to 20.
Maybe something could be done
about making the month a little
longer so we could have time to live
a private life too.
Yours for bigger and better meet
ings.

Should Get Together

Consistency should be of first i'm
portance, especially in departments
of state, but there is one instance
where the contrary is the case that
might be brought to attention.
Some times ago a bulletin from
the Conservation Department an
nounced that the official Minnesota
auto sticker which had been selected
from designs submitted by 35 state
artists is now ready for distribution by
the Minnesota tourist bureau. Supplies
of the stickers are being furnished
resorts, hotels, business men and
organizations interested in properly
distributing or using them, said the
bulletin, and they are designed to be
placed in the rear window of the car.
Now comes the announcement this
week in a Minnesota Highway De-
partment's bulletin: Don't make your
car look like a globe trotter'S suit
easel Motorists with an affinity for
travel stickerS, advertising matter,
match covers, or campaign slogans
are warned not to paste or otherwise
display them on any window, wind
shield or side wing of their automo-
bile. This warning was sounded this
week by w. F. Rosenwald, director
of the Safety Division, Minnesota
Highway Department.
MIR. Rosenwald pointed out that
the practice of using stickers on any
glass of a car is not only illegal but
dangerous, because it obstructs the
view and may also distract atten-
tion''
The bulletin continues that if driv-
ers wish to display such material
they may do so legally by attaching
stickers to the bodies of their auto
mobiles, below the glass line, on such
places as the trunk, side door, bumper
or hub cap.
Now then, the tourist bureau would
have us carry the states advertising
to the attention of the world, but the
State Highway department says thai
the law says that we can't. Maybe
we had better let the law have its
way and charge the whole thing of
as case where half of the world
does not know what the other hall
is doing.
The whole thing carries a moral
however. That moral should well be
advice against letting our enthusiasm
carry us away against our better
judgment. Our advertising should
contain the truth and should be kept
within legal bounds.

Will The Crop Come
ThrOugh?

The writer has been very near
the farm situation in North Dakota
and also in Minnesota. In the for
mer state, pay day is once year
and in the latter it must of necessity
be every day. For in the former small
grains are the chief means of sus-
tenance, while in the latter, the dairy
herd is the income, supplemented
of course by a few small cash crops
Both means of livelihood present
their problems. In North Dakota, be-
ginning with the month of July until
the threshing is done, the period is
one of great suspense. First, anxious
eyes look to the skies for ample rains,
then those same eyes, if the rains
come, look to the skies again to see
that pests do not drop upon them
then lastly those same eyes, growing
weary, look to the east for proper
prices to reimburse them for their
seasons toll and expense.
In Minnesota where no finer dairy
herds exist, where the worlds baby
bottles are filled, where dinner pals
containing wholesome butter, prom
Use good nourishment and where
wheels of industry and employment
are made to turn little faster be-
cause of that important activity
dairying-producers are underpaid
They haul their cream day by day
with barely enough remuneration fol-
sustenance, much less thinking in
terms of the future.
The system is wrong; the farmer
must have cost of production. The
grain farmer is battling the elements
many months of the year and then
when he gets his crop through he
must battle for his living-his one
pay day year.
The rural people, however, are OPP
tinists. In North Dakota they will
tell you during the growing season
that they will make it; and in Mime
sofa the expression is, "give us an
even chance" What people! No
wonder America has risen to leader
ship in the world!

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page u

Continued from Page ~
And in this connection the heaviest
blame right now falls on the British
| government
During the last few days there have
been peace rumors aplenty. A plan
was proposed in London to persuade
Hitler to abandon his intention of re-
uniting Danzig with Germany proper
and if he would be nice little boy
and do what John Bull told him, why
he would get big, fine loans from
England so that he could put his war
time industry on peace-time basis,
and he might even, if he continued
to show good behavior, hope to get
some of Germany's war-lost over
seas colonies back. But he had to
give up DanZig, and-What is more
important-he had to promise that
Germany would disarm!
Obviously, those are the very things
that Hitler will and can not do; Dam
zig may be the subject of conference
and of compromise, but for Germany
to disarm while the surrounding pow
ers reserved to themselves the right
of keeping on building up their al
ready tremendous armies, navieS and
air forces, would be downright sui
cidal.
Soon it developed that the plan was
not officially sponsored by the Brit
ish government, but had simply been
mentioned in private conversation
between Board of Trade President
Robert S. Hudson and DR.. Helmuth
Wohlthat, a German economist, and
Chamberlain appeared quite indignant
about it. But the rumor will not
down that this plan was a trial bal
loon sent up for the purpose of test
ing the reaction of world opinion to
the plan.
New Grouping.
Another plan, also emanating from
London, was to the effect that Great
Britain, France, Germany, Italy and
Poland form group in order to pre-
serve the peace of Europe. This seems
superfluous from the viewpoint that
this peace is. at least supposed to be
already safeguarded by the League
of Nations, by the BRAND Kellogg
treaty and by the four-power treaty
of 1888 (Great Britain, France, Ger
many and Italy,. Its only element
of novelty is the proposed inclusion
of Poland. Aside from that, the
scheme is the same as in 1888, to the
extent that it excluded Soviet Russia,
probably the greatest military power
in Europe; the question obviously
arises: How can a group of nations
undertake to guarantee peace without
Russia?. It can't be done
That once more brings us back to
