HJALMAR PETERSEN SHOULD
BE CONSIDERED

Hjalmar Petersen, present Railroad
and Warehouse Commissioner, should
be given serious consideration when
the candidate to oppose Governor
Stassen is picked in 1940 Certainly
the fact that he polled 100000 votes
against Governor Benson in the pri-
maries, the man that was in office
should warrant every kind of con-
sideration.
Also the fact that he opposed the
so-called Mexican Generals in the
Farmer-Labor party, a course of &C
ton that has deprived him of being
Governor before, should ring true
with liberals who were never in
favor of a small group dominating the
Farmer-Labor party. 1t has been
mighty enlightening to large group
of Farmer-Laborites that Hjalmar
Petersen was on the right track when
he attempted to bomb the Mexican
Generals out of the Farmer-Labor
party.
Also too, he would be getting votes
from the Republicans that are not
completely sold on the Stassen adj
ministration and the tactics that has
been Mr.. Stassen's since he went into
office on the large protest vote.

If the House of Representatives, be-
fore acting upon the embargo matter,
could persuade President Roosevelt
to invite representatives of all ma
tons to Washington for the purpose
of discussing the feasibility of estab-
fishing democratic world government
now it is possible that the present
world war could be brought to an
end and future wars be made impos-
sible. If the government takes no
steps in this direction many people
will believe the government is DOM
mated by groups that want war pro-
fits.
Should any nations now at war re-
fuse to send Representatives to such
a conference, and to suspend hostil-
tiles pending the outcome of delibera-
tons, they would prove themselves
to be the aggressors in the present
war, and would readily incur the
ill-will and combined opposition of
practically the entire civilized world,
as it would prove their avowed desire
for peace is not sincere and their
refusal would automatically force the
United States to repeal the arms en-
barge. A golden opportunity, with
the welfare of all humanity at stake,
is before the House of Representa-
tives. Will they grasp it?

Fires Bad For Game
Bird Food, Shelter

Minnesota game birds are the heav-
lest sufferers in this years forest.
brush and grass fires, according to
H. G. Weber, director of the division
of forestry of the state department
of conservation, and A. E. Pimly, in
charge of fire prevention.
Even though there have been fewer
and less disastrous blazes in the state
this season than in some former
years, the game bird losses are con-
siderable, these officials declare. Not
only have the birds been deprived of
natural covers they need as protec-
ton against weather and predators,
but large portions of their food sup
ply went up in smoke, with the re-
suit that many of them face starva-
ton the coming winter, the officials
said.
These fires are not confined to the
northern areas of the state, officials
pointed out. The last few days large
crews of volunteer workers have been
fighting several blazes in southern
Minnesota-in Dakota and Nicollet
counties. In the latter county sew
eral dried up lake beds have been
on fire.

NEWS REVIEW

Continued from Page u
France wants Germany to start an
attack, and Germany is waiting for
French aggression. So far, both sides
are awaiting further developments.
Air Quiet.
With the terrible experience OF
Warsaw fresh in the minds of the
world, it had been feared. that the
war between Germany and England
France almost from the very start
would assume the form of indiscrim-
mate commandments from the air
But, aside from few bombings OF
Scottish naval and industrial sites
nothing has happened, except that the
Germans appear to have attempted
another air attack on English cities
early this week, and were repulsed
by anti-air batteries.
There have been German hints dur
ing the last few days that soon Lon
don and other English cities may ex-
pect to be bombed about ten times
a day; so far, nothing like that has
happened, probably because the Ger
mans realize that at the moment they
begin aerial warfare on large scale
there will be reprisals in the form
of British and French bombing of
big German cities. Plainly and
bluntly said-they seem to be afraid
of each other. And as long as that
appears to be the case, it is we'll
and it postpones the death and mutila-
ton of thousands of persons.
"City of Flint"
Much commotion has been caused
by reason of the fact that a few days
ago German battleship captured
the American ship, "City of Flint
manned by Americans and carrying
aboard the crew of British steamer
torpedoed some days before; the
Britishers were landed at Tromso
Norway, whereupon the "City of
Flint" proceeded-under Germ a n
command-to the port of Murmansk
in the Russian White Sea.
Washington waxed indignant, sent
notes, demanded explanations, in
sisted that the ship be released and
that assurance be given that the
American crew was safe.
Now, there was really nothing I'M
usual in the capture of a neutral YES
sci carrying-as it was reluctantly
admitted in Washington-contr
but ordinarily such ship, taken by
the Germans, would be taken into a
German port. In this case it was
sent to the port of country which
is, at least officially, neutral, so it
became a matter of correspondence
between the United States and the
neutral country, that is, Russia.
The Soviet government, ignoring
protests of the United States, finally

PAST is RESURRECTED

Editor Askov American:
'And the good Knight went out
and slew the evil enemies of the good
king" so reads pagan, medieval
mythology.
War has a tendency to revert to
the past for means to successfully
prosecute it, The Germans have re-
surrected the armor of the medieval
knights. But, leave it to the English
for going them one better. The lat
est version of the English prayer book
apparently prays "for the good of the
king and that he may have strength
to overcome his enemies" That is
going back quite way, yet, pagan
religion is full of this kind of stuff.
The whole thing can only be treated
as burlesque by anyone having any
substantial conception of religion.
Even Stain could see this joke.
The tendency for those who have
long lived in one place and have long
basked in the sun, is to believe that
they live in the middle of the world
and that the sun shines primarily for
them. But, it must be remembered
that the sun does not shine on the
same dog all the time. 1t is well
never to be surprised at anything.

Flouting Old
Customs

The recent proclaiming of Thanks
giving to be the third instead of the
last Thursday in November by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, is rare display of
flouting of what would seem to be
public opinion. Although as far as
we know, no poll has been taken,
we will however, wager guess that
the average American who has spent
the average lifetime in this country
will feel that his rights have been
trespassed upon by the President in
changing the date of his annual
Thanksgiving.
True enough, it is customary for
the President to proclaim Thanks
giving, but it is likewise a popular
feeling that the function is matter
of form land tends to annually give
impetus to the event
His current action is apparently
going to create a general confusion
in the various states on this Thanks
giving and the old familiar spirit as
exemplified by the song, "Over the
river and through the wood to grand
mothers house we CO." is going to
lose its meaning for the first time
in many years. 1t is pathetic to real
lovers of tradition and it is laugh
able to those who can see that the
change will do no good in a business
way.
1t is well known fact that the
human race has a weakness to wait
until the very last, to perform a Ger
tain buying mission for the holiday
season and therefore the Presidents
statement that the change has been
made to aid business to longer
selling season is laughable.
What is Washington going to do
in the case of Federal employees in a
state where the law gives its governor
the right to proclaim Thanksgiving,
and where it is proclaimed to be the
customary last Thursday? Do mail
carriers and Federal employees have
to observe the day by themselves or
will there be compromise between
the department at Washington and
the state?
Anyway, if we are to observe
Thanksgiving with everyone, it is ap-
parent that two Thanksgiving days
must be held in Minnesota.

STILL FOR FREE SPEECH
(The Long Prairie Leader)

Decision of the leading radio chains
to refuse time to speakers who buy
time to discuss controversial subjects
may we'll be viewed with apprehen-
sion. There would be a great uproar
If the newspapers of the country
got together and undertook the same
sort of program. It is true that
the radio moguls announced that
time would be given free for the dis
cussion of controversial matters, but
hedged the offer with rules that bor-
der close to censorship. Undoubt-
edly there will have to be some sort
of regulation to prevent abuse of the
radio system of agitation, but in the
long run the country must have faith
that the common sense of the people
will weed out the truth. The strength
of the nation is in the perpetuation
of free speech and free assembly.
