BASIC NECESSITIES FIRST

Editor Askov American:
The trend of world events would
seem to indicate that British diplo-
macy such as she has practiced it
for the past 400 years, has finally
come to end as far as being effec-
tive. This diplomacy was based on
the supposition that they, the English
people, were smarter than other peo-
pie and that they could play the rest
of the world as suckers.
No matter how smart man may
be there is usually someone just a
little smarter. A man may be the
smartest man in the world for few
minutes, then someone else will be
smarter. The fallacy of thinking
that no one else has any sense will
eventually play out.
Trying to starve nation by eco
nomic strangulation can't succeed in
the long run. All nations and all
people within nation must be given
chance to live in reasonable COM
fort so that they can have the basic
necessities. Any system that makes
this impossible either in world affairs
or within a nation will eventually
be overthrown "An army marches
on its stomach" according to Napo-
leon. Democracy, liberty and spirit
ual ends are only possible after the
necessities of life have been made
available.
At this time when the New Deal
is on test, it may be well to remem-
Der that at least the New Deal rec
ognized that the basic necessities
of life come first. This country was
saved through that recognition from
the establishment which awaits
other countries.

no nation would sell to or by from
an aggressor of war, that would put
an end to war as no nation could get
along when cut off from the rest
of the world, so no nation would run
such risk. But we cannot expect
such agreements and actions until the
world becomes more civilized AS
long as there are enough barbarians
and egoists to run the world, it will
be barbaric.
We are told so much about the
highly civilized governments, but the
actions of too many of them are proof
to the contrary. The barbarians go
into other countries killing innocent
people and destroy property, and 9TH
er nations of the same kind say that is
not war, and they are eager to sell
to them whatsoever they need to
live on and to do the barbaric
work, and after the robbery is done
they recognize the robbers as legal
owners of the robbed property. Civil
ization has failed so far.

MORE CIVILIZATION NEEDED
Editor ASkov American:

Editor ASkov American:
Hitler drove Jews, who were the
descendants of Jews in many genera
tons, empty handed out of Germany
His Germans in Danzig are likewise
people living in country not their
native home. To settle the problem
about Danzig, Hitler would likewise
have to say to his Germans there:
Come home to Germany empty
handed like the Jews left here!
To the Polish people he would say:
People in Danzig whose name is end
ing with ''ski'' or "sky' 1 don't
want as they are Polish.
We all know, or should know, that
Danzig is Polish territory, and the
whole of Poland should be the real
home for the Polish people. 1t be-
came German territory only by rob-
berry and if robbed goods by robbery
would become the robbers own
property, we would have no use for
police or courts, but it is only when
robberies are large enough that il
is legal; such as taking a republic,
kingdom or an empire or part of it
by force.
That is by most of the large ma
tons considered to be right, and
where are the large nations who
have not done some of that kind of
robbing themselves or aided others
in doing it?
Poland was a kingdom until Ger
many, Russia and Austria took ii
and divided it between each other,
and only by that Danzig became Ger
man territory, but really it was only
stolen property.
In the settlement of the World war
the independence of Poland was to
be established so Hitler has no legal
or moral right to Danzig, but the
big nations are acting cowardly about
it. If they would tell Hitler "that
regardless of all treaties, we will not
sell thing to you, or buy a thing
from you until you declare to the
public that you have given up DAN
zig" then it would be settled.
If all nations would have such
an agreement and live up to it, that

alliance as supplement to those
already existing between France and
Russia, and France and Great Brit
ain.
Stole A March on Them.
The Anglo-Russian alliance is still
fact not accomplished; it may come
about; it has not yet.
But while there were wrangles
and chickering's between the Russians
and the Britons, the Russians and
the Germans worked quietly-with-
out too much benefit of the press
on their own particular problem, and
early this week it was announced
that they had achieved result. Hit
Ter had, once more, stolen a march
on the diplomats of France and
Great Britain; he got what he wanted.
And that was the commerce treaty
about which one had heard months
ago such subdued talk.
On the face of it, the Russo-Ger-
man treaty only expands the trade
possibilities of both countries; Rus
STA establishes credit in Germany,
amounting to $8O,OOO,OOO, and under
takes to export to Germany $72,OOO,-
600 worth of products for the next
two years. During that period Rus
STA will purchase machinery and tools
from Germany, and Germany will in
return obtain access to the incred-
IDLY vast resources of Russian raw
materials, such as iron ore, lumber,
oil, gasoline, sulphur and variety of
chemicals sorely needed by the Ger
mans.
1t is said-so far, without confir-
mation-that the treaty contains
secret political clauses, and one guess
is that Germany has extracted from
Russia promise not to commit itself
too intellectually to the French
British and the French-Russian alli-
ance. Although unconfrmed, the
rumor carries with it some degree
of probability because economic
treaties often pave the way for polit-
ical amity between two otherwise
hostile nations.
1t looks at this moment as though
that new treaty will have bearing
on the Anglo-Russian negotiations
in fact, it was admitted by the Brit
ish and the French that the news of
the agreement stunned them.

International
News Review
BY GEoRG sTRANDyOLD

At about the time when negotia-
tons concerning a possible military
alliance between Great Britain and
Soviet Russia began, there were
whispered rumors that Germany and
Russia were considering a commerce
treaty-rumors which were so very
hard to believe for the reason that
the political ideals of Berlin and
Moscow were as far apart as are
the North and the South Pole; in
fact, whenever predictions were
made as to the future of Europe, they
assumed the form of a potential war
between these two powers.
The Anglo-Russian discussions
dragged on; the diplomatic angles
were studied from all possible view
points, and when they had been ade-
quately surveyed, general staff Of
ficers of the British and the French
armies went to Moscow to put the
finishing military touch to the con-
ferences, and the result was con-
fidently expected to be full-fledged

pendence was guaranteed by him less
than six months ago-had been
placed under German military rule.
That decision opens to Germany an
additional Polish frontier, and stories,
confirmed and not, are plentiful to the
effect that large consignments of the
German army have already been
placed along the Slovak-Polish from
tier.
Sentiment.
It is admitted that Danzig crisis
of the first order exists, but few
expect war. For one thing, the stock
exchanges of the major countries
remain calm; comprehensive public
works-in the interest of peace-are
making progress in many of these
countries, and they would hardly be
promoted if an actual fear of war
had gripped governments and peoples.
Berlin is quiet, expects no mill
lem; London apparently is the most
nervous and excited of the great
capitals and goes on from day to
day as though war is anticipated
before sunset; Paris remains stolid,
disbelieving in the inevitability of
war, yet prepared for it if come it
must; Warsaw grimly asserts that
Germany must not take Danzig, and
relies on British and French pledges
of help in case of hostilities; Rome
continues to think that Danzig is not
a big enough issue to warrant an
armed conflict.
Other Possibilities.
On the other hand, there is the
possibility that Hitler will force the
Danzig issue, especially now when
he may have reason to feel that Rus
sia-after signing a trade treaty with
him-will not be among his enc
mics, should war come. There is
the further possibility that even
peaceful occupation of Danzig may
be considered an attack on Poland,
and in such a case Great Britain and
France must step in.
But, at the moment of writing, the
possibilities of peace are the stronger,
for vast European war waged for
the sake of German city returning
to the country to which it, racially
and otherwise, should belong, sounds
too much like a frightful nightmare.

MIR. KUHN is DRAGGING
minneapolis Star-Journal)


Officials of local German-American
societies deny the claims of Fritz
Kuhn, bund leader, that there are
Nazi bund units in the Twin Cities.
If these respected and worthy citi-
zens declare there is no such organiza-
ton here, we believe them. 1t goes
without saying that their word is
infinitely more to be trusted than Mr.
Kuhn's.
And all the evidence-or lack of
evidence-supports their denial. Min
neapolis is not aware of any Nazi
bund activity, knows of no bunds or
bund meetings, and sees no signs of
a bund movement starting or devel-
oping.
There is no question in any sane
persons mind of the loyalty of the
German-American population, and
proof of this is the fact that one rare
ly speaks any more of the German
American" population. The hyphen
is gone. Those of German descent
and heritage are numbered among
our solidest citizens, our community
builders, our influential leaders.
Mr.. Kuhn is Dragging. He doubt
less relishes the national publicity
his appearances before the Dies COM
mittee are giving him, and wants to
tell good story while he's at it.

DISSENTERS ARE REDS ?


Editor Askov American:
have just read Lewis 0. Ander-
sons attack on me and the program
I advocate to bring today's potential
abundance to all the people, pub
lished in your paper under date of
August II. 1t seems to me that Mr.
Anderson's misstatements are so glar-
ing, your readers will not be mis-
led, and you need publish this re-
ply only if you have nothing else to
fill the paper with.
First Mr.. Anderson says: "But
Ford has maintained higher wages
and standards than even the Red
labor unions demand, hence his sur
plus can hardly mean something
taken away from the workers." If
Mr. Ford is paying "higher wages
than even the Red labor unions de-
mand," as Mr.. Anderson says, then
would like to ask Mr.. Anderson
just why are the "Red labor unions"
trying to organize the Ford plant?
suppose Mr.. Anderson means the
CLIO when he talks about "Red labor
unions" for the CIO has been try
ing to organize the Ford plant. And
of course, everybody who doesn't
agree with Mr.. Anderson is Red"
I see because offered cooperation as
the remedy for our economic prob
lens, as the means of keeping wealth
decentralized so that the people would
have the buying power to buy back
as much as they produce, 1 am a
communist"
And know, according to Mr.. An
derson's views, President Roosevelt
who has been trying his best to save
the capitalist system and make it
work just little better for the OPP
pressed people is also Communist.
So was Governor Elmer A. Benson.
So is any one who does not agree
with the Mr.. Anderson's type.
Mr.. Anderson can't defend the
capitalist system. It's a proven fail
ure. 1t does not make today's poten-
tial abundance available to the
masses of the people. So the next
best thing to do, rather than admit
your fallacies, is to start calling every
body else who advocates some form
of change, no matter what form it
may be, Communist"
Mr.. Ford may have drastically re-
duced ''the cost of automobiles" as
Mr.. Anderson says, but that doesn't
prove that the price of automobiles
still isn't entirely too high. And /
merely used automobiles as an illus
| tration. The same is true of all other
business operated for private profit
Profit is the thing that makes the
spread between income and outgo
of farmers and workers entirely too
wide; makes that spread so wide that
these producing groups can not buy
back as much as they produce, which
results in so-called SURPRISES to bring
the people panics and depressions at
a time when all should be enjoying
| abundance.
If Mr.. Anderson can show me how
that spread can be narrowed to the
point where our wealth producers
can buy back as much as they pro-
duce, thereby eliminating SURPRISES,
thereby making the wealth which we
can now produce available to all the
people, without squeezing out profit,
l shall be an attentive listener to
his plan. Name calling gets no one
anywhere.

Thanksgiving, but that is not yet the
case. The President just merely
mentioned the possibility of changing
the date maybe as joke similar
to the one he pulled on the Repub-
licans when during the last campaign
he took all the states and left them

Striking Farmers

The New York milk strike is
a mighty serious matter for the
plain people of Greater New
York. 1t is one of those stop
pages that amounts to a strike
against the public. Knowing the
fine character of upstate farmers
of New York as class, it is hard
to realize that they would de-
liberately curtail the supply of
milk for city children. Certainly
they are not doing it without the
gravest provocation.
Farmers supplying milk to the
Twin City area have their griev-
ance, and have been getting in
adequate returns for years. They
have managed to reduce distri-
button costs for the producers by
successful cooperative organiza-
ton, but the cost of reaching
the ultimate consumer in the
cities is so high under present
conditions that the farmer feels
he is getting the short end of
the stick. Yet never has there
been any serious talk of apply
ing pressure through a strike.
The farmers through their COOP
eratives have carried on in the
spirit of men performing an es-
sential public service They have
had reason, too, because of past
experience, to revolt from the
idea of a strike that would tie up
highway traffic in such an es-
sential commodity as milk.
This New York trouble also
has somewhat the look of another
strike against the government.
For the supreme court only a few
weeks ago upheld the authority
. of Secretary Wallace to fix milk
prices in the New York and Bos-
ton areas. Armed with this power,
the Federal government should be
able to prevent such a calamity
as producers strike. We read
of troops being called out to pro-
tect milk shipments. What is the
department of agriculture doing
about it? With its authority so
firmly established by the highest
court, it should be able to adjust
this difficulty.
The above editorial appeared re
,ently in the Minneapolis Times
Tribune and denotes how quickl
condemnation is voiced when tn
armer takes it onto himself to
about the predicament h
inds himself in. Apparently tn
armers of upstate New York ar
lot striking against little childre
,ut rather the middlemen betwee
themselves and New York's little chill
lren.
