ministration'S neutrality legislation
were misleading" the American peo-
pie to rely upon the false and illog-
ical delusion that an arms embargo
would keep America out of war;"
Of course, there are two sides to
every question but in this instance
l cannot follow Mr.. Hulls reasoning
He is against embargoes on war ma
terial in time of war. He would have
Congress confer upon the President
the power to say what nations shall
and shall not have access to the
American market in such times. Isn't
that precisely what drew us into the
World war % years ago? Had we
refused to sell war materials to all
the belligerents at that time we could
and probably would have stayed out
of that war. Why not benefit from
past experience?
Whittier, Uncle Sam?
Fantastic as it may appear, the
possibility of Fascism in America is
sufficiently alive to warrant serious
consideration by all thinking citi-
zens. William Yandell Elliott, chair
man of the Department of Govern
ment at Harvard university, recently
discussed the growth of this form OF
dictatorship abroad, and finds certain
definite ominous parallels in this
country.
"Fascism," said Mr.. Elliot, "comes
in various guises, but always as a
receiver in bankruptcy. The bank
ruptcy is most obvious in the economic
sphere, but it betrays more funda-
mental failure-the breakdown of a
nations faith in its institutions" The
trend in this country toward national
bankruptcy is unacceptable. Within the
past decade we have added more than
$40, 900, 100000 to the Federal debt
Moreover, according to latest reports
the annual cost of government will
rise ST ,OOO,OO0,000 during the next
fiscal year.
Most of this staggering debt in
crease, we are told, is due to the
failure of private enterprise ''to take
up lIlS SldCh III lIlc SCOllOllllS lilo
chine, and until it does demonstrate
an ability and willingness to forge
ahead regardless of debts, confisca-
tory taxation and political attacks
there can be no substantial let-up ir
government spending. Thus we have
rising deficits and threatened break
down of faith in American institu-
tions-requisites of Fascism.
&c. Sooner or later" concludes Mr.
Elliot, "the pinch of public credit
will take us into this dangerous re-
gion (chronic economic disorder). II
the way out that is chosen lies along
the familiar lines of Fascism even
relative freedom is done. Fascist dis
cipline tramps upon the very hands
that lift it to power" In the mean
time, the politicians continue to beat
business to it's knees with fanatical
legislation, regulation and taxation

while asking it between blows to
struggle up and carry d heavier and
heavier load.
Would Rather Have Jobs.
The other day an attack was made
on WPA workers by a prominent
Eastern writer. He placed all WPA
workers in one class and inferred
they would rather be on WPA than
to have a regular job. 1t seems to
me that any straight thinking man
should know better. The continuance
of 100000 unemployed on WPA
in country that possesses the great
est natural resources of any in the
world is blot on our administra-
ton that only time will efface. WPA
is bare existence to men with fam
lilies. Not enough to live on and
too much to starve on.
The uncertainty under which all
forms of industry are trying to op-
crate in competition with the gov
eminent calls for constant retrench-
ment. Every incentive for expan-
sion has been destroyed, as witnessed
by our banks full of idle capital, our
factories running but part time, or
closed down, because of competing
commodities coming in from foreign
countries where labor is much cheap
Ell than ours and standards of living
unbelievably lower than in this coun-
try. For instance, the press has been
carrying reports from Japan that diet
has been worked out by one of their
chemists that will supply the neces-
sery calorieS to maintain perfect
health at daily cost of 16 sen Gap
proximately cents). Fish heads
dried blood, skins and intestines are
ground, dried and used regularly in
the japanese diet, as is dried sea
weed. In other countries competing
with American labor the diet is chief
ly potato soup and black bread. Meat
butter, eggs and milk are delicacies
seldom or never eaten.
On previous occasions l have
pointed out how this condition can
be remedied. One thing 1 am sure
worker would welcome a full time
job at fair American wage. Up to the
present time no substitute for the
American market for American labor
and American agriculture has been
found.
Tax Collections Off.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue
reports that the Federal tax collec-
tons for the fiscal year which ended
June 80, totaled $5,181 ,665, 900 as
against 1858, 765, 900 in 1888, de-
crease of SAT-, 100000. This is going
to be a serious matter for the treas
ury but it will probably not neces-
state new taxes as the indications
are there will be pickup in bust
ness shortly, which will result in
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1939-07-20
ng the deficit during the

overcoming the deficit during the
current year.
A Good American Passes.
Congress and the nation sustained
a real loss when Sam McReynolds,
chairman of the House Foreign Az
fairs committee, died last week. Mr..
McReynolds hailed from Tennessee
and had been member of the House
for Is years. In that time he at
tanned place among the leaders.
It will be some job to find man
who can fill his shoes. Sol Bloom
of New York, succeeds to the chair
manship. Mr.. Bloom has become
well known throughout the country
as chairman of the Washington SEES
qui-centennial commission. They tell
a good story in connection there
with The Commission under Blooms
able management has put out car
loads of literature on the Consti-
tuition, George Washington and other
interesting subjects during the past
10 years. Several years ago mem
Der of Congress mailed batch of
this literature to a constituent and
in a few days received acknowledge
ment of its receipts with this query:
81 know who Sol Bloom is but who
in h = is George Washington"
Foreign Loans Out.
The Administration has announced
that it will not press the $500, 900
item in the lending and spending pro-
gram, for loans to foreign countries.
That is sensible. We have already
advanced far too much money to
them. If we have any such sums
to give let us pass it out to the
American farmer who would spend
it for clothing, paint, lumber, hard
ware and new machinery. That would
keep the money at home where it
would serve as a revolving fund to
be used over and over again. Money
sent abroad rarely returns.

ASKOV
Pioneer Visits Here.

Julius Nielsen and son, Niels, for
mer Askovites, but who for many
years have made their home near
Washington, D. c., came the first of
the week for visit with old friends,
being guests at the Niels Hede home.
Mr.. Nielsen was here during the early
life of the community as painter
and also owned some land which he
later sold. He left here about q
years ago, was back for visit 18
years ago, but has not been here
since; consequently he was surprised
to note the many fine developments
that have taken place here during
those years.
The son, Niels, will probably re-
main here and attend the local high
school.
Miss Elsie Kilstofte, student at the
University, Minneapolis, visited over
the weekend at the home of her
mother, Mrs. p P. Kilstofte.
Erode B. Kilstofte of Wilmington
Calf, came Saturday for few days
visit with his mother, Mrs. P. p
Kilstofte Previous to coming here
Mr.. Kilstofte had gone to Detroit
Mich, and purchased new car which
he was driving home.
Miss Helen and Irving Kilstofte and
Miss Sofie Hansen, all from Chicago
came Saturday for visit at the home
of Mrs. P. P. Kilstofte. They left
again yesterday accompanied by Mrs
Kilstofte for a visit with friends anC
relatives at various other points ir
