Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1939-09-14
BY CHARLES A. PEARSON,
GraSSton.

1t is with interest that / note you
are soon to celebrate the 25th ami
versary of the founding of the Askov
American. AS resident of Pine
county, I feel assured that this event
will be of marked interest, not alone
to your subscribers but also to the
citizens of Pine county. The Amer
lean has reached high pinnacle
in the field of journalism in Pine
county and its fine structure and out
standing features make it one of the
outstanding weeklies within the state.
Born as it was in the village of
ASkov % years ago, l can visualize
the setting that prompted the launch
ing of the Askov American in that
community. 1t is apparent that the
village of Askov was at that time
at the threshold of what was later
to become one of the outstanding
villages in Pine county, surrounded
as it was by a community that was
making rapid strides in agricultural
development within that section of
the county, which was later to win far
renown by its specialized products.
One can therefore vision the posi-
bilities that prompted our esteemed
citizen and statesman, Hjalmar Peter
sen, to launch the American in the
Askov community, not alone as just
a newspaper to chronicle local events,
but also to be means by which
Askov, its community and Pine
l,f no nl To n
higher development.
In this sphere the AskoV American
has made a worthy record, which is
attested by the fact that it now num-
bers its readers throughout the state,
nation and foreign countries which
has in large measure focused the
attention of its readers to the agri-
cultural possibilities of Pine county,
thereby encouraging the influx of
new settlers.
Display Fair Policy.
1t has been my pleasure to read
the Askov American and when l re-
ceived my first copy l was very much
impressed with the fact that this was
not just an ordinary weekly paper.
1t had rather metropolitan features.
Particularly was l impressed with
the wide range of county and state
news it published and its digest of
the same. AS member of the Pine
county board of commissioners l
have enjoyed the pleasure of a fine
cooperative service by the Askov
American in its publication of the
official county news and proceedings.
This endorsement of your paper
would not be complete did l not
dwell somewhat on the excellency
of your editorial page which indeed
is an outstanding feature. Here the
editor and its readers meet in
friendly unbiased exchange of views
pertaining to local events and the
welfare of their community and
county Especially was l impressed
with the courtesy always extended to
its readers who have availed them
selves of the privilege to express
their view in its columns.
1t is therefore my pleasure to
extend to the Askov American, its
publishers and editor and co-workers,
hearty congratulations on the high
journalistic achievement they have
attained in the publication of the
Askov American and best wishes for
continued progress in this field, which
/ know is assured by the strong
foundation of public service upon
which it is built and by the support
so highly manifested by its many
readers.

House, Agriculture Local 2, United
Federal Workers, yesterday sent a
letter to the membership of the Sen
ate asking that the House action
be corrected when the Senate votes
on this legislation.
Placing these employees under
civil service is the first step toward
eliminating politics from relief" the
union said.
The House, while barring w. P
A. administrative employees from
getting the civil service status an
executive order is comforting on
thousands of workers February l
amended the relief bill with the in
tentlon of allowing the staffs OF
other agencies paid from emergency
funds to profit by the order. Farm
Security and the Puerto Rico Re-
construction Corp, however, were
overlooked.

U. S. Held No Stranger
To Fascist Methods

America is not stranger to Fascist
methods in some of it's govern
mental activities, Henry T. Hunt
former general counsel for the Pub
lie Works Administration and former
Mayor of Cincinnati, told the B'nai
Birth at a meeting at the Jewish
Community Center last night.
Mr.. Hunt cited police methods in
many cities-brutality and the third
degree"-as one example OF dis
regard of civil liberties bordering on
Fascism.
He added that the Bill of Rights
was not a gift of those who drafted
the Constitution, but the result of
an insistent demand from the States
and their people.
Mr.. Hunt blamed Hitlers recent
successes on England and France
English industrialists, in alliance
with aristocrats, supported by the
French desire to subjugate Germany
he said, made this Frankenstein
which they now seek vainly te
mollify."

Peace Group Ends
Conference Here

More than 600 delegates to the
Conference for the Cause and Cure
of War adjourned their session here
last night after adopting a resolu-
ton condemning all forms of re-
ligious and racial persecution.
In one of the concluding addresses
DR.. Hans Kohn, professor of mod
ern history at Smith College, said
that one of four 'fallacies leading
the United States to war" was the
refusal to take sides. which he
termed the most immoral thing
that can happen"
Other 'fallacies" listed by DR..
Kohn were the way in which we
use the word peace" a notion that
conflicts today were "just struggles
between rival imperialism" and a
belief that things will be all right
If we postpone decisions"
"On the gates of the last seven
years will be written the words too
late" he said.
The Right Rev. Ashton Oldham,
Bishop of Albany, N. Y, said that
while more persons than ever be-
fore wanted peace, I'VE do not have
it because the people will not pay
the price"
The peace we want" he said. "is
not mere absence of strife, but a
result Of righteousness. Our aim is
not peace alone, but peace through
justice"
Bishop Oldham termed neutrality
a moral at its worst and Inadequate
at its best" adding that "it does not
even profess desire to get rid of
war"

cts, District Commissioner Melvin

tations to nine Maryland, Virginia

"tri-State" conference in his Office

ing permit over night, so as to avoid
being held in Jail pending the post
ing of collateral.
In his letters of invitation Com
missioner Hazen said, 1T is the pur-
pose of this conference to discuss
problems of mutual interest and to
attempt to achieve a greater de-
gree Of cooperation and co-ordina-
ton in the problems which concern
the duties and responsibilities of the
various officers" Invitations were
sent to the following and request
was made that police officials of the
several counties accompany the in

Tension
Continued From First Pape)

in unequivocal terms that the
French government was unable to
yield to Italy's pressure, and while
desiring to avoid conflict, If posi-
BILE. was prepared for any eventu-
ality.
PeSsimism prevailing in London
and Paris is due to the fact that
Germany and Italy are fully aware
of their superiority in ornaments.
1t is fact admitted here that,
while Germany and Italy have i'm
proved their fighting forces con-
siderably in the last three months,
both democracies have made little
progress in war preparations.
Considering this intensive mill
tary activity of Germany and Italy
since Munich and the comparative
lag in French and British prepara-
tions,, the position of the two de-
mocracies from the military stand
point is even worse today than be-
fore Munich, which only magnifles
the Italian chances of success.
lnlS increasing disparity IN
strength between the democratic
and the totalitarian states is not
only known but exaggerated by
Germany and Italy, and it is feared
here this consciousness of superb
ority will lead to application to
France of even more pressure than
during the CZecho-Slovak crisis.
French counter preparations are
being kept a strict secret. 1t is
known, however, that Gen. Marie
Gustave Gamelin, French chief of
staff, will be promoted soon to
the honorary rank of chief of the
national defense, and that he will
be succeeded by Gen. Geroge, a
younger and more energetic officer,
formerly on Marshal Foch's staff.
