WATCH THEM!
Editor Askov American:

The extent to which some of our
universities are becoming mouth
pieces for Soviet propaganda is illus
trated by the University of Chicago
Round Table radio discussion on
Russia and Europe" June 4. The
speakers claimed that the Soviet has
given up the idea of world revolution
to lead world Communism and that
therefore it would be safe for cap
italistic countries to form an alliance
with the Soviet against Hitler.
That this is false propaganda to
lead us into trap is easily proved by
a glance into the official Red maya
zine, 1.-The Communist" July, 1899
This whole issue is devoted to Latin
America. One of the articles is en-
titled, Building the Western Hemis-
phere Democratic Front" Well, the
purpose of the democratic front" is
to educate" the masses step by step
to see the necessity for the violent
revolution, as explained repeatedly
in various Communist pamphlets.
The Reds are not interested in saw
ing us from Hitler; what they are after
is to use war against Hitler as the
occasion for springing their revolu-
ton. Their official instructions are
to turn the next world war into civil
war.

End OF Trail

Monday, July 81, was the end of
the trail for the Minneapolis Jour-
nal, which had been published for
more than 60 years. The paper was
sold to the Minneapolis Star and the
combined newspaper will be known
as the Minneapolis Star-Journal.
There is something pathetic about
the suspension of the Journal, not
only because it means change in
the daily routine in thousands of
homes throughout the Northwest, but
in the fact that it means the seeking
of employment elsewhere for hun
dreds of employees.
Even though expression of the new
owners was to the effect that most
of the staff would be retained under
the new management, any one who
knows something about the conduct
of newspaper, will see that the pub
LEGATION of one newspaper, even
though it is to be somewhat larger

them have given the greater part OF
their lives to the service.

Japan now become operative? But
since whatever fighting went on was
considered merely isolated episodes,
and since there evidently was no
genuine desire to start a major war,
Japan and Russia have made all nee
essary adjustments between them
selves and without any outside inter-
vention.
Just now, negotiations are in pro-
gress in order to settle the latest dis
pute and fighting along the contested
frontier, and reports indicate that
the conference may succeed Russia

FISHING is BETTER
Minneapolis Journal)

Many newspapers over the country
have published the letter sent out
by the Journal, to counterfeit the bad
publicity Minneapolis had at the time
of the WPA strike. Through that
letter many thousands of prospective
Minnesota visitors got assurance that
this is not city ''torn by street fight
ing and terrorized by mobs."
The Journal and the citizens of
Minneapolis hereby return thanks to
the newspapers that gave this City
a "break" by publishing the letter,
and in many cases by adding COM
ments of their own.
There was some good natured kid
ding which also helped to clear the
atmosphere. The Omaha-W orld-Her-
aid, remarking that only one man
struck there on WPA, land he turned
Republican," said: "About the only
time Omaha has any fireworks is
when some of your Minneapolis guys
come down here to throw things
around" Then the World-Herald
said:
Generally we stay pretty calm
and placid. We know we have
to work hard the rest of the year
in order to spend couple of
weeks fishing in Minnesota.
And on thinking the whole
thing over, maybe we have
clue to what's wrong with Min
neapolis. Maybe you spend so
much time angling for tourists
that you don't have any left to
go fishing yourselves. Maybe if
you would bar the rest of us for
season or two and would dust
off your own bass lures and use
your own lakes, you might &C
quire some of the relaxed poise
that the rest of us find in your
vacation land.
At least it might be worth try
ing. 1t must get awfully tiresome
wrangling and swapping at each
other day in and day out, the
year around =. even if, as we
hasten to add, the city is per-
fectly safe for tourists.
That's what we call constructive
suggestion. Let's not be like the
farmer who sells his butterfat and
buys "ole" for his family. Let's all
60 fishing. 1t breeds tolerance and
human understanding.
But we're not going to bar Omaha
or any one else from our lakes. There
is abundant room for all, and those
who want fish as well as relaxation
will find the fish.
So come on, Omaha, and all the rest
of you, to Minnesota, and don't for
get to give Minneapolis a call. You
won't find trouble here unless you
are looking for it.

Good Civil Service
Should Solve 1t

The editorial herewith copied an
which appeared in the Minneapoli
Tribune under the signature of Georg
A. Barton, sports editor, is not neces
sarily re-copied in defense of tn
man, but rather advocation of bet
ter system-good civil service sys
tem-which will cause merit in gov
ernmental jobs to be recognized. MI
Barton's editorial headed, why Max
Good on Political job" follows:
We always have labored under
the old-fashioned idea that when
a man makes good on a job by
being enterprising, working faith
fully and being honest, he should
be retained on that job even
when such a job is acquired
through political appointment.
Only too often we have seen
men who worked hard and did
a thorough job in some state or
city department dismissed with
no thought of appreciation for
his efforts in order to create a
job for another individual.
The most recent-and one of
the most fragrant abuses of a
change of political administra-
tons, is the case of Ed L. Shave
who resigned under pressure as
head of Minnesota's tourist bu-
reau.
No single individual connected
with state department brought
Minnesota so much widespread
and favorable publicity as Ed
Shave has done during the two
years he served as the head of
the tourist bureau.
Shave, during the 81 years he
was sports editor of the ST. Paul
Daily News, former friendships
with sports editors of all the larg-
est newspapers in the United
States.
Because of their friendship for
Shave, they devoted pages of pub
licity to Minnesota as vacation
land. These newspapermen of
other states weren't interested in
Minnesota. To the contrary their
interest conferred in Shave. They
thought that by using the pub
licity Ed sent them regarding
Minnesota as the ideal state for
fishing, hunting and all manner
of outdoor recreation, they were
helping Ed to make good on his
job.
AS result of this magnificent
comradery, Shave has on file in
the state tourist bureau enough
clippings from newspapers of the
middle west, south and east to
paper the state capitol and the
new state house inside and out
side. Some newspapers devoted
full pages to Minnesota as the
ideal summer resort country.
He often worked 18 hours a
day, travelled thousands of miles
by automobile and made count
less talks boosting Minnesota. He
even spent his own money adj
vancing the cause of the state he
always has loved so dearly.
When a man of his ability is
not appreciated, then no one can
blame other state employees for
soldering on the job and saying:
"Why work hard and show any
enterprise? The jobs only good
for a couple of years."
