News Review
BY GEoRG sTRANDv0LD

A few days ago there was a great
deal of talk about Hitler taking over
the free state and city of Danzig
during the weekend. Nothing hap
pened. The world remained quiet
but not calm.
For there were many kinds OF
fear, and, with Great Britain in
the lead, several nations prepared
themselves for the worst possible
eventualities. But still-nothing hap
pened.
Everybody knows that Hitler wants
the German city and free state OF
Danzig reunited with the German
motherland, and almost everybody
realizes that he does not want to 60
to war about something he will get
anyhow. But, without any apparent
without and very evident, without
any visible reason, a war scare is
being stirred up, partly by newspa-
pers and partly by governments which
ought to know better. If one analyses
the kilograms coming from the Euro
pean capitals, one is struck by the
fact that all alleged facts are eau

similarly settled-one reason being
that Japan does not care particularly
to incite any enemy in addition to
China, so very, very difficult to con-
quer.
And That Treaty!
While Danzig continues to excite
Europe; while Japan recklessly per-
sists in its efforts to subdue China
and while Outer Mongolia and Man.
chukuo are at outs, one of the prin-
cipal questions of international poll
tics remains: What about that mill
tary alliance between Russia and the
British empire? Well, there isn't
much to report. Negotiations are still
in progress between the two govern
ments, the British yielding, reluct-
antly and slowly, point by point, the
Russian inflexibility in its demand
that any treaty of alliance must be
based on a 100 percent reciprocity
AS the European situation has de-
veloped recently, there is some rea-
son for believing that the British
will answer all of the Russian con-
ditions in the near future. Great
Britain has become master in the
art of yielding and will, no doubt,
strive to maintain its reputation for
expedient flexibility.

OPEN BEAVER SEASON A
BIG MISTAKE
(Baudette Region)

The opening of the beaver season
in Minnesota this year, was a grave
mistake, according to W.. T. Cox,
associate wild life conservator of the
Soil Conservation Service, who is one
of the best authorities on wild life
in the nation.
Mr.. Cox states that, first of all the
season was opened at the wrong time,
with mother beaver about to have
their young. Many beaver taken were
found to have from six to eight I'M
born kittens.
Another bad feature is that the sea-
son was opened at time when there
boys, and many fires during the last
week have been traced directly to
beaver trapperS.
Mr.. Cox states that the law author
izing the season was loosely drawn,
allowing many undesirable actions on
the part of trappers. He states that
more beaver were fatally injured and
got away to die than the number
taken by trappers and shooters.
These are only a few of the bad
features of the season this year. Mr.
Cox is strongly of the opinion that
when season is opened, it should
be conducted under strict regulation,
with trappers putting up bonds, and
with officials supervising the taking
of the animals. He states that Min
pesOta lost far more this wear in
depleted beaver population than it
gained in money secured in. licenses
and tags. .. - -
Mr.. Cox has been spending the
week at the Beltrami Island project,
making Baudette his headquarters.

South st. Paul, Mimi, July 3, 1899:

while in the United States the
butter substitute manufacturers
have it all their own way. By
devious methods they are captur-
ing the butter market, and selling
millions of pounds of their dope
grease to people who buy it in
stead of butter because they can
buy it for less than half the price
of butter. Government figures
show that the cost of making
oleomargarine is less than five
cents per pound, and the whole
sale price often drops to less than
eight cents per pound.
There is only one way that this
situation can be met as far as the
dairy farmers of the United States
are concerned. Either prohibit
the manufacture and sale of but
ter substitutes, or tax it so that
it cannot undersell butter.

IMMIGRANTS ALL
Editor ASkov American:

Editor ASkOV American:
Until a few years ago there came
to this country steady stream of
man power in the form of immigrants
from all over Europe, mostly young
men and women who represented a
net gain to this country and loss to
the country from which they came, for
the simple reason that they had
reached an age past which any boy or
girl should be an asset to any coun-
try including the one of their birth.
The farmer, contractor or factory
owner welcomed this man power
which-with few exceptions-could
be depended on to do lots of work
for smaller wages than other avail
able laborers; which because of in
ability to speak English, awe of I'M
known laws and customs and other
handicaps could be exploited extern
sively. Today it appears that they
are no longer welcome and that those
already here have become the targets
of new legislation designed by certain
undemocratic elements to further split
and divide the people. l fail to see
how the members of our Congress can
favor such legislation considering the
fact that before each election they
are almost unanimous in their praise
of those potential supporters from
across the sea-
This inconsistency has become
more apparent in this session of Con-
gress than ever before, because so
many anti-alien bills have been in
PRODUCED lately that person would
think that if all their provisions were
carried out they would leave this
country populated only with the
remnants of the 100 percent Amer
leans. 1 refer of course to the In
dians; they at least should be safe
from anti-alien legislation.
The essence of it all is, that this
splitting move should be protested by
everyone whether an American by
choice or by accident.
Such legislation unveiled shows a
loss for democracy-a threat to
democracy-and rotten excuse for
not making democracy work.

Many Are Eating OleO

Government reports state that
the per capita consumption of
butter in the United States is 1876
pounds annually. This contrasts
with 1875 pounds in Sweden, 30.31
pounds in Canada, and 1916 in
Australia.
Isn't it remarkable that the
people of Canada and Australia,
for instance, should consume
twice as much butter per capita
annually as do the people in the
United States? We believe the
real reason for the great differ
ence in consumption of butter
between the people of the United
States and those countries is be-
cause Canada and Australia pro-
hibit the manufacture and sale of
oleomargarine or other butter
substitutes within their borders,

HITLER CALMING DOWN :?
(The Park Rapids EnterpriSe)

Chancellor Hitler of Germany,
speaking to the German war, veterans
a few days ago, had good chance
to issue some more of his threats,
which in the recent past have caused
the world to do considerable tut-tut-
ting. The result of these previous
utterances was to persuade England
and France to polish up their weapons
and create great new flock of war
birds.
Mr.. Hitler's last speech did not
sound so warlike. He said that if
the English enlightenment policy re-
mains as it was in 1914, the German
policy of defense is fundamentally
changed. His principal threat was
to any people in his own government
who do not come up to 100 percent
standard as men and soldiers. Peo-
pie who do not measure up, he says,
will be removed from their posts.
He has right to require such
compliance from his own people,
which is very different thing from
ordering the world around. If the
German people were anything like
the American, they would resent the
idea that he alone is to be the judge
as to whether or not the officers of
the government come up to that
standard. If any American political
leader should ever set himself up to
be the judge of all persons connected
with the government, our people
would have something to say about it
at the next election.
The Germans of Germany have
formed the habit of bowling down
to the head of their government. 1t
is their philosophy that it is not well
for ordinary citizens to mix in affairs
of state, and that they should let such
issues be decided by those who are
supposed to know more about them.
1t was this excessive spirit of sub
mission that has led many millions
of Germans to emigrate to our coun-
try in past years, where they have
gained freedom to say what they
think. Meanwhile Mr.. Hitler'S last
utterance may indicate that he is a
little more inclined to keep quiet in
his own yard and attend to his own
business.

ing the funds consideration. They
announce that 20 years from now il
will require $2,5OO,OOO,OOO to make
the payments for that year.
Last year the pensions were paid
to 1,750,000 old people and to 650,0OC

WHEN THEY COUNT THE COST
Carlton County Vidette)

When they count the cost of the old
age pension disbursements as forecast
for the next 20 years, it runs into
astonishing figures. The act was
passed in 1885. 1t was intended as a
humane plan to take care of the
aged people of this country, and also
it was political measure to head off
some of the other pension plans that
were occupying front page headlines.
Its kindly intentions as to our old
people have not been seriously criti-
cized. But the plan of handling the
funds has. They have been spent
as fast as paid in, and no reserve
provided for.

U. s. SOUNDEST NATION

Editor ASkOV American:
One of the fallacies of the op-
ponents of the New Deal is their
contention that European nations
came out of the depression faster
than the United States and that they
have largely solved their unemploy-
ment problem. Europe, however, is a
large armed camp. Naturally, a
country with large standing army
will have little unemployment as ii
takes two or three men to support
one in the field.
The fact that the United States
has more gold than the rest of the
world combined, that its credit and
monies are the best, and that the
highest standard of living has been
maintained would seem to indicate
that this country will regain eco
nomic stability sooner than any other
large countries. Such little coun-
tries as Denmark, Norway and Swe-
den have prosperity on account of
the armed camp around them. Even
tually, Europe will have to demobilize
and they all will be worse off than
ever. Long after the ornaments built
by Europe have become obsolete the
improvements made in this country
by the WPA and PWA, ETC., will be
of value. Europe has not tried to
solve its basic problems by economic
and industrial adjustments-it merely
resorted to war or near war.
Now that the influx of royalty has
somewhat subsidized and our syco-
plants have fawned and toadied be-
fore them-we can look for another
touch" for a loan which would also
seem to indicate that we are the

which seemed more like a large

he had a beaver caught by the tail.
