 TOSTART MONDAY

 Today or Tomorrow

San Francisco, July 7-CUP)-- Dean James M. Landis of the Har- yard Law school arrives today or to- morrow to preside ct the deporta- ton hearing Monday of Harry Bridges, west coast leader of the Congress of Industrial Organiza+ tions.
 The proceedings will be conducted at the immigration station on Angel Island. Bridges is accused of being "afilliated to or a member of an or- ganization which teaches or advo- cates the overthrow of the American government by force and violence"
 The organization. the government charged, is the Communist party. Bridges denied that he is associated with the Communist party or is Q believer in It's principles.
 The proceedings originally were to be conducted in secret. but interest in the case proved 50 great that Sec- retary of Labor Frances Perkins and the immigration bureau announced that the press would be admitted.
 Bridges, who was born in Ken. sington, Australia, rcorganized the Longshoremens union in 1884; be- came chairman of the Joint marine strike committee, and tied up San Francisco's waterfront in a dispute that cost the lives of eight men.
 Employers and shipowners accused Bridges of being an undesirable alien, but an investigation by the immigration bureau showed that hh entry Into the United States had been legal.
 A number of motion picture ac' tors offered to help raise funds foi Bridges defense. The group includ' cd Gloria Stuart, Melvyn Douglas Lionel Stander and John Garfield. BridgcS' legal staff is headed by AHisa fiarni Kin0 nf NeW York

quate; in fact, it was said that Mus
solini had warned Hitler against de-
livering it. Moscow thought there
was in that speech something con-
crete which might be used as a start
ing point for peace. But-and that
was the really important thing
neither Italy nor Russia intimated in
even the vaguest way that they would
aid Germany militarily in case the
war continues. Hitler may have
placed some trust in such help. But
so far it would seem that it will not
be forthcoming.
Face Toward U. S.
Hitler himself didn't say so, but
people close to him let it be known
that the German government would
be willing to start peace negotiations
provided the president of the United
States would take the initiative to-
ward an armistice Mr.. Roosevelt
was, however, not to be caught nap
ping; he simply said nothing, but
close advisers made it clear that the
president would make no move un-
less he was pretty definitely assured
beforehand that it would succeed, and
unless Great Britain and France
would join Germany in asking for
his mediation
Period of Suspense.
There the matter rested until Mon
day when Mr. Chamberlain once

These two powers were determined
to fight until Hitlrism was crushed
At the same time, there were indi-
cations that should Hitler send an
official peace offer through the reg

through the United States embassy
in Berlin, representing, for the time
being, British interests-it might be
considered, but it had to contain some

REMOVE THE CAUSE
Editor Askov American:

Editor Askov American:
So-called un-American activities OF
Communist and Fascist groups are
being Investigated and denounced by
Congressman Dies and his commit
tee.
Unemployment breeds unrest, Com
munism and Fascism, and is respon-
sible for these So-called un-American
activities.
In turn, our faulty privately owned
and manipulated money system to-
gether with the fallacious fiscal pol
icies pursued by our government is
responsible for having deprived and
denied, 10 to Is million men and
women, their God-given right to labor
and toll and earn an honest living.
Congress has spent 100000 and
much time in investigating so-called
un-American activities of Communist
and Fascist groups.
Congress might well spend consid-
cradle time and money in earnestly
investigating its own un-American,
unconstitutional and unsound money
system which it has foisted upon the
American people, and which by the
way, is million times more destruc-
tive than the combined activities of
all these so-called Communist and
Fascist groups.
If Congress would issue legal ten
der currency instead of interest-bear-
ing, tax-exempt bonds with which to
finance government needs, we could
afford an untold number of useful
public improvements we are clamor-
ing for.
The 2,OOO,OOO,OOO in unearned tri-
butte that is now being paid annually
to the money manipulators, under
the guise of interest on the tax
exempt bonds of the Federal govern
ment and its political subdivisions,
could then be paid to labor in wages,
for the production of new wealth.
We could then inaugurate a large
program of public works and give
every man and woman, able and
willing to work, full time job at a

A MINNESOTA AUTUMN
blooming Prairie Timesl

Ducks spelling out words in the
air, pheasants lending brilliant color
to the fields, squirrels scampering
here and there putting away their
food supply for the winter and a
brisk wind stripping the trees of
their soft green garb-that's Mime
sofa in Autumn.
Fall in the Northwest is more boast
full of really perfect days than all
the other seasons combined. Spring,
freshly released from the grip of a
cold winter, looks beautiful of course,
but Fall, with its attending cool winds
and golden harvest, is just about as
lovely and as welcome a guest as
anyone could ask for.
California may boast of her year.
around wonderland; Florida may brag
on her balmy winters. But up here
in Minnesota we haven't one COM
plant to make about our heritage.
God must have known the kind of
people who would eventually come
to inherit this rich bounty of lowell
ness for he picked out just what
they wanted when he fashioned Min
neSota.
The color camera, much less q few
words splashed awkwardly about on
paper, cannot catch the full beauty
of Minnesota Autumn The hu-
man eye, human understanding and
human imagination can reproduce a
far better picture. So why not take
a few minutes off from the daily
humdrum of making living and see
what's waiting along the country
roads.

diplomatic interchanges, there has
been lull in the actual war; the west
front has had few insignificant
patrol skirmishes, and on the sea
one or two mine explosions have
taken place with disastrous results
to the ships which were hit, but nc
torpedoings had been reported for
several days. No armistice had been
proclaimed but for several days the
situation was so quiet that one might
believe there had been an armistice
agreement arrived at. Such was
however, not the case. 1t was just a
period of waiting, of suspense-and
nobody seemed to be in a hurry to
move for peace; nobody anxious to
| aggravate the war. That deadlock
will change soon-one way or the
other.
Russia Active.
Taking advantage of the lull, Rus
STA went ahead in sharp effort to
extend its spheres of influence in the
Baltic. 1t already had signed a
treaty with Estonia, reducing that
state to a puppet nation; it had signed
a similar treaty with Latvia, and
now it signed one with Lithuania
These treaties, accepted under threat
of war, give Russia the right to build
naval and air bases in Estonian
Latvian and Lithuanian territory, and
to garrison large numbers of Russian
soldiers within the borders of these
three countries-it is, indeed, said
that Russia insists on having more
of her own soldiers in each of the
countries than they have themselves
Then Russia turned toward Fin
land, but apparently has met resist
ance here; Finland may have to sue
cumb, but has not yet done so.
Friendship a la Russo.
The friendship which so suddenly
has sprung up between Russia and
Germany has its rather shady side
as soon as the Russians had occu-
pied the larger part of Poland, they
proceeded to cut off Germany from
all ambitions concerning the Ukraine
they made German access to Rou-
mania impossible; they Immediately
started to entice Turkey to align it.
self with Russia-so far, not with
complete success, for Great Britain
wants something to say about this
too-and now the Soviets are block
ing any plans Hitler may have had
for dominating the Baltic nations.
Italy apparently is making friendly
overtures to Hungary, Yugoslavia
Turkey and Greece, hoping, it would
seem, in this way to forestall any
plans Hitler may nourish for this
corner of Europe.
In other words: the two powers
Hitler felt he could to some extent
rely upon, are not helping him, al
least not in the military sense; they
give no promises; they try to extend
their own influence, to the ultimate
detriment of Germany-so that al
this moment Germany is quite alone
facing Great Britain and France and
as far as sympathies go, also very
considerable part of the neutral
world. Can Hitler continue his de-
fiance? That is the live question OF
today.
