Sumner Welles Condemns Ger
 tain Nations

NEW YORK, Jan. 28 (P) - Sumner Welles, Under Secretary of State announced that the ma jor objective of the administra- tions foreign policy was to keep the United States at peace, and said in regard to the govern ments attitude toward the pol ic!es of certain European govern ments "The people of the United; States and their government have always maintained and made It clear in practice that they assert the right to protest and condemn y.ruel and inhumap treatment of human beings where even the brutality occurs. They likewise made it clear that they availed themselves of the oppor- tunity to protest and even chal- lenge the foreign policy of any other nation which threatens the peace and security of the United States and which results in violation of treaty rights or on its nationals"

which the "isms" represent. And if the Russian ism" is preferred 10 the Nazi "ism," in the event of war, it is only because the Russian ism" is regarded as the least menacing of the two evils in this juncture.
 Finally, the Dies committee, whose title $ the Committee for Investigation of un-American Activities, was t7ke7 in this poll at the face value of it's title much more than at the value of its in quiries. Many people have not been aware that the Dies Com mittee is engaged in a pernicious political game in behalf of re- action, and they assume that it is a committee against the "isms" and, hence, are for it on that ground.
 To us, these polls of the In stitute of Public Opinion not only made sense, but demonstra- te ta2t American public opinion today as throughout its history is unfaltering in behalf of the oppressed and against oppressors
 2t .t T acutely aware that the crisis of our own day is the challenge 10 human freedom.
 Heartening is the overwhehn- ing force of their answer to that in the huge majori,ies for tolerance and dacencv.

Baseball News

Next Wednesday night will witness another double header baseball game at the school gym. The last two games have sure been most interesting, as some fans say-because they enjoyed the goodall-round playing of the different teams, and especially the superb playing of the win ming teams as well as their sportsmansh.p.
 Nevertheless, the games to be played this coming Wednesday will probably be better and more fercely contested than any yet played, so if you wish to get seat where you can watch and roar at every exciting play, 1t will be up to those attending to get there early, as the town has gone mad over indoor baseball again. Can you blame them?
 The Hammons are picked to beat the Alaskans unless the manager of the Alaskans is able to get some of his old time team together and make a last stand as champions.
 The Nome team which has al ready won two straight games, is heading for a defeat Wednesday night unless they get over their swelled heads and cock-sure methods.

New Quakes Felt
 Conception Area

SANTIAGO, Chile, Jan. 30 tPl New panic was reported among survivors of Chile's dis asterous earthquake after more shocks were described as "very strong where felt in the same region where between 25 and 30 thousand are already dead.
 The new tremblors lasting more than two minutes rocked Conception shortly before mid night and injuring 20 in Concep- cion, and spreading terror among the homeless sleeping in the pub lie plaza. Some sources said the new shocks were almost as strong as those Tuesday which destroyed the city and left an estimated 15,000 dead out of the 10000 population. Little pro perty was left to be damaged but several more walls caved in in Conception.

No Room for the "Isms"
Philadelphia Record)

'Tt just doesn't make sense."
 Our visitor referred to three recent polls of the Institute ot Public Opinion which were spread out on the desk.
 One poll showed
 Ninety-four percent of the vot- CTS disapprove Germany's treat. ment of the Jews, 97 percent dis approving Germanys treatment of Catholics.
 Another poll showed:
 Seventy-four percent of the voters favoring continuance o1 the Dies Committee, 26 percent against.
 The third poll showed:
 That if Russia were to go tc war with Germany, 83 percent of the people would hope for z Russian victory.
 On the surface, perhaps, these polls do seem confusing. How come that people whofavor con- tinuation of the Dies committee which has been smsaring liberal ism and trying 10 pin the rec label on the New Deal, also are people who would like the sec Russia beat Germany?
 The answer is that all three of these polls demonstrate ore basic trait of American charac- ter-love of decency and fair play and sympathy for tha under dog.
 The common denomtnator of these p ls is found in the fec. that each of them expresses Am erican distaste for the "isms' and for the brutalities and crimes

Two Local Business Men Perish
When Boat Capsizes at Blue Lake

One of the most shocking tragedies
in Coulee City 8 history occurred early
last night when. Albert Ross Tnomp-
son, rs, pioneer hotel owner and dir
eetor of the Security State Bank, and
George e. Davis, SO, owner of the
Pastime billiard hall, drowned in Blue
lake. Fred Manford, Odair station
agent, managed to swim to shore when
boat in viii h the three were riding
capaized.
According to Man 'ord, Mr. Thcmp-
son had landed on the opposite shore
from his cabin on the west side of the
lake, when his beat was blown in close
to the bank by high wind. In trying
to walk along the rocky shoreline, the
hotel man fell several times and cut
himself quite badly He called to Man
ford and Davis, who were in the other
boat, and asked them to- pick him up,
and the trio almost reached the shelter
of the west bank when the cupboard
motor on Manford's boat was disabled
( on reef
The high waves Immediately filled
, the boat and the three men took to the
water Mr.. Manford said Davis and
Thompson gained footholds on the reef
were in water about up to their arm
pits and were apparently making their
way to shore. However, Manford had
not touched bottom and was forced to
exert every facility at his command to
swim to safety, and when it was pos
sible for him to turn his attention to
the others they had disappeared.
He summoned help. and in a short
time many persons were en- the scene
trying to locate the bodies. However,
the rough water and darkness fore
stalled rescue efforts and the bodies
were not located until early this
morning. They were close to shore in
about 30 feet of water.
