PARIS, Feb. 1.-THE French gov
ernment, in close cooperation with
Britain, demanded today that Japan
explain her seizure of the Chinese
Island of Hainan fanking French
and British Empire lifelines.
French sources declared the occu-
patton of Hainan was violation of
repeated promises made by Japan
to the two democracies.
Diplomats said Britain probably
would present separate but identi-
cal demand as a result of conversa-
tions between French Foreign Min
lister Georges Bennett and British
Ambassador Sir Eric Phipps.
The occupation began Friday, ORR
entail time-Thursday, European
time-and diplomatic sources con-
tended it was too timely to be a
coincidence, coming as Britain and
France were trying to prevent Ger
many and Italy from gaining too
strong a foothold in Spain.
Foreign Office Studies Situation.
The occupation assumed increasing
importance as the foreign ministry
studied the Situation-armed forces
of Japan on an island about 200
miles from the Indo-China Coast
and 300 miles from the British crown
colony, Hong Kong.
Diplomatic sources said advance
discussion by Toxic, Berlin and
Rome gave the occupation the full
earmarks of a squeeze play" worked
out by the anti-Comintern pact
partners to take advantage of
France and Britain while they were
so involved on the other side of the
world they could do little but pro-
test.
The French government instruct
ed Charles Arsene Henry. Ambassa-
dor to Toxic, to ask the Japanese
government specifically why and to
what extent the island had been
occupied. and how long the occupa-
ton would last,
May Have to Shelve Incident.
If the japanese answer in the
expected vein-that the occupation
is temporary measure, necessitated
by military operations in China
diplomatic circles considered France
would have to shelve the incident for
the moment and await develop
ments.
The press at Chungking, pro-
visional Chinese capital, declared
the Japanese move marked the
start of a southwark expansion
program likely eventually to
threaten the French hold in
Indo-C China. the British in Hong
Kong and Malaga, the Neither
lands in the East Indies and the
United States in the Philip
pines.)
France has no elaborate defense
establishment in Indo-China, having
interpreted the 1907 French-Japa-
nese treaty as a promise not to
occupy Hainan.

NEVER ACT UNTIL TOO LATE

(Mille Laos County Times)
More than 60 farmers met in the
Eagles hall Saturday night where
they discussed the latest cut in milk
prices in st. Cloud. 1t was brought
out at the meeting that the cut that
was recently forced in milk prices
has decreased the income of the farm
ers in the immediate vicinity of ST.
Cloud in excess of 100000 per year
John Bosch and Gene Larson, pres
ident and secretary, respectively, OF
the farmers coop labor council, were
present at the meeting and discussed
the situation with the farmers.
It was agreed by all present that
to make further cuts in farm income
or in the wages of the workers, OF
to deny the small business man a
reasonable return on his investment
is not in keeping with economic recov-
ery.-St. Cloud Times.
Well, what did they do about it?
Nothing, absolutely nothing. The
trouble with the farmers is that they
never attempt to do anything toward
trying to maintain prices for farm
products until the situation gets so bac
that they must notice it. And ther
it is usually too late to do anything
about it, except protest. And the in
terests that fix the prices for farm
products care nothing about protests
It has ever been thus in all history
and promises to be that way for
long time to come.

Askov Mayor Sets
Annual Poppy Day

In proclamation issued today by
Mayor Paul N. Froker, Saturday, May
q, was designated as Poppy day in
Askov. The proclamation asked all
citizens to observe the day by wear
ing a memorial poppy in honor of
those who gave their lives in the
World war, and to contribute for the
welfare of the disabled veterans and
dependent families of veterans. 1t
stated:
"Whereas, when the forces of ruth
less autocracy committed aggreSsions
against the United States in 1917, the
best young men of this nation offered
their lives in the nations defense, and
whereas, among these young men
were many from Askov, who served
calamity and sacrificed greatly in the
conflict, and
"Whereas, more than one hundred
thousand young Americans were
called upon to sacrifice their lives that
America might be secure as the land
of liberty, justice and democracy,
"Now, therefore, I, Paul N. Froker,
mayor of the village of Askov, be-
lieving that the memory of their high
patriotic sacrifice should be kept
bright for the inspiration of America,
urge all citizens to wear their memoir
ial flower, the poppy, on Saturday,
May 81, and give for the poppy as
generously as they are able to aid
the wars living victims, the disabled
veterans and dependent families.
''To that purpose, 1 do hereby pro-
claim Saturday, May q, to be Poppy
day in the village of Askov."

Sure, Arbitration Is
Good If Unbiased E!

Arguing for the operation of the
new state labor relations plan, an
article sent out by the Rural Editors
Exchange, 813 New York Building,
st. Paul, tells of the good the plan
has thus far accomplished both for
labor and industry in Minnesota.
The article states that the labor con-
ciliator has settled two cases, already,
peacefully and without prolonged
strike One was a case where a GER
tain group, working as chemists were
urged to join a union and upon in
vestigation the union officials were
made to see that there should be no
need for such move. The other case
was one where the union had struck
for 81 wage increase per week, but
upon examination the workers were
made to see that it was uncertain as
to the ability of the employer to pay
such a wage and final settlement was
made for 81 per week increase, in
stead
The two cases mentioned are laud-
able if the plan will always be made
to work that way, but there is a
danger that it will eventually discrim-
mate against labor. That was the
chief objection to the Labor Rela-
tons Act by labor in the first place.
We all know that when hot blood
is flowing in human veins, there is
danger of hasty and many times re-
gretable action. Arbitration, which
the new plan provides for, will do
much to ward off that danger, if those
who administer the plan will remain
unbiased. Right now, it appears that
they are so, but then they are like
wise, right now, under somewhat of
a probationary period because of the
publicity which was given to the plan
in its progress through the legislature
to final passage.
In this country of ours there is no
common sense to complete fulfill
ment of the desires of one class in
discrimination against another, but
goodness knows there has been too
much of that already. Now it is up
to all of us to get our government on
an even keel toward assistance to all
classes as much as it is possible to
do so. Labor should not be aided
to ride rough shod over employer
and on the other hand employer of
labor should not be helped to ride
rough shod over labor.
Each employer should see to it,
if he is for upbuilding of this coun-
try of ours, that his labor gets a just
return for its service to him and see
to it that labor should not be ex-
plotted to the extent of building up
huge dividends.
Yes, arbitration is the best way
out of many difficulties but arbitra-
ton should be kept unbiased.

Well by golly, things are getting
back toward normal now. Dizzy Dean
pitched a three-hit, 4-to-nothing shut
out Sunday against the Boston Bees
for his Chicago Cub team. The $685.
900 paid to the st. Louis Cardinals for
him year ago had up to this time re-
sembled the status of the European
war debt to the United States. Well
now Dean is about to repay the money
to his owners, but not even the Re-
publicans can tell us when Europe will
start to pay.

House. Now, he says, Congress is
for spending. One of the issues sup
ported by Congress and criticized by
the President is the Agricultural APP
preparations bill. Only few weeks
ago the President was strongly for
the WPA appropriation bill and crit
icized the Congressman for cutting
down on his requests. Maybe that's
his idea of farm relief -. with the
governments pinch-penny attitude
toward the farm, it has great many
farmers working on WPA.
Yep, the farmers life is one con-
tinual round of pleasure with all the
governmental help he gets just
like the old farmer told his son when
asked by the boy if he would let
him have a quarter to 60 to town
and see the circus. "What!' ex-
