number of others have already pur.
chased their calves locally and will
in few weeks have these calves
on feed for participation in the
1910 project. Orders can still be
placed for these western calves If
there are additional club members
that still want some of them. It
appears that the calves will be
available in all three of the beef
breeds, namely Shorthorn, Angus,
and Hereford. For club members
who do not have the cash to pur-
chase them the price of the calf
can be financed through one of
the cooperative commission associa-
tions at st. Cloud at an interest
rate of 5 percent.
The county agents office urges
parents who have club members
that wish to enroll in the baby
beef project and have not secured
their calves as yet to make plans
Immediately for the purchase of
their calves locally or from the
source indicated above. It has def
initely been shown in Stearns coun-
ty as well as in other counties that

on feeding out these baby beet
calves that it is necessary to begin

Fifteen community educational
and election meetings are being
carried out in Stearns county in
connection with the agricultural
conservation program, according tc
the county agents office, st. Cloud
These meetings began on October
3rd at Paynesville and will carry
through October II. At each OF
these meetings the background in.
formation concerning the conserva
ton work was covered and to some
extent the plans TO rthe 1910 pro
gram were gone over. The chair.
man for each of the communities
was named together with the other
two committeeman who will serve
with him in carrying out the de-
tails of the program in the com.
munity. Likewise two alternate
members to the committee were
named to assist in case the regular
members for some reason find il
impossible to serve.
On October 10 the chairmen OF
the various communities will meet
to elect the officers of the associa
ton for the coming year. Interest
in the AAA program does not seem
to be less in Stearns county thar
in the previous year even though
there has been some upturn in farm
prices because of war conditions
abroad.

Senator Nye, characterized by his
opponent as professional neutral

opened by saying. Retention of
the arms embargo Is the first requi-
site for the preservation of Amer

be to take the first, most important

stated: The fact is that these two

that they were up against a chal-

making ready to meet II in military
way. The Chamberlain government
however, until last March was more
concerned with buying Hitler of

AS his explanation of why France
and Britain want repeal of the arms
embargo. Senator Nye said their
war experience with us has taught
them to know that If the United
States caves on one really important
issue, the road to war for us will
then easily be LAID out. II we give
up the arms embargo now, they
know they can accomplish easy

The Ohio Senator declared no
one has ever claimed before that
an arms embargo is necessary to
neutrality. We have been neutral
in countless wars without any arms
embargo. An arms embargo has al

fair as between other nations. It
directly discriminates in favor of
those nations which build up their
military establishment in peacetime
so that they are not dependent on
imports. 1t discriminates against
weak and peaceful nations which
have not increased their munitions
plants. 1t discriminates in favor Of

Senator Taft said he was opposed
to giving the President any dis
cretion which. would enable him to
favor one warning nation against
another. For that reason, he said,
he was opposed to the provision
of the bill which gives the Presi-
dent the power to specify combat
areas and the provision allowing
him to extend 90-day credits to
purchasers. Cash, he said, means
cash.
He charged that the President
was "a recent and half converted

"quarantining' aggressor nations

to be taken by the United States.
Senator Bridges of New Hamp-

Republican presidential nomina-
ton, in a speech in Boston last
night. urged that Congress be kept
in continual session to keep an eye
on the turn Of events In Europe.
There has been no big battle

that the effort Of Germany to get
our good will has been q restraining

Senator Thomas, Democrat, o1
Utah, a member of the Foreign Re.
lations Committee who Is favorable
to the bill, took the opposite posi-
ton. He said: The johnson Act
is primarily to stop defaulting gov.
ernments from floating loans in the
United States. It was not an act
against business or trade and coulo

trade between a defaulting nation
and the United States. Such was

That the johnson Act was moi
aimed at trade is proved by the fact
that our Government since the pas

into trade agreements looking tt
trade increases with defaultine
states"

Pre'!v'Iiiew Of Debdie
On Neutrality Given
By kinton and Nye
Senators Air Arguments
In Broadcast at

Wisdom Of new neutrality legis-
lation for the United States wa
debated by two members OF the Sen
ate last night Ut the National Press
Club, slinting the tenor Of argu-
ments over the proposed changes
In the existing law scheduled to open
tomorrow on Capitol Hill.
Senator Minton, Democrat, OF
Indiana. proponent of new legisla-
tion, and Senator Nye, Republican
OF North Dakota, leader In the
status quo stand, delivered eight
minute arguments before an enthus-
iastic audience and over q Nation
wide radio hookup.
First speaker, Senator Minton, q
self-styled "old soldier who learned
about neutrality from war" lost no
time IN trying to drive home the
point that 'the sale of munitions
never got any nation into war;"
We all know" said this supporter
OF the plan to repeal the arms en-
barge, that we got into the last war
because Germany claimed and ex-
erclSed the right to carry on un-
restricted submarine warfare and

such won't be the case this time.
senator Minton contended, explain
ing that under the Pittman bill It
will be unlawful for American citi-
zens to be aboard vessels of bel
hgerent nations or for American
ships to ply the war zone.
We are at peace" the speaker
emphasized, and we intend to stav
out Of war unless we are directly
attacked" Being at peace, he con-
tlnued, I'VE must maintain neu-
trality. Under the concept of
neutrality. it has always been recoe-
nized that 1t was not an unneutral
act for a nation not at war to sell
and deliver, If it could, arms, am
munitions. implements of war and
all manner of supplies"
Senator Minton said SO far as he
knew every nation in the world
claims that right and is exercising
1t today except the United States.
TO be neutral" Senator Minton
went on. "is to take neither side.
We don't want to help Hitler or
Stain, or Britain or France: neither
DO we want to prevent either of
them from helping themselves.
There Is q difference between Sec
ond-party help and self-help. II
we do not repeal the arms embargo.
we are preventing those nations at
war, that have the ability to come
to our shores and get munitions
and supplies from doing 50. This
Is preventing them from helping
themselves.
Advantage = Natural One.
III France and England have an
advantage after repeal OF the en-
barge. this is an advantage only
because for more than a century
they have built navies capable of
controlling the seas. If we keep
the embargo on, We are, in effect,
giving Hitler a navy big enough TO
keep England and France from our
shores. Hitler has the advantage
Of buying from those nations whose
geography permits of such inter-
course. His army takes care of that.
Can Britain and France object to
that? Obviously, no. Then what
objection can Hitler have to Brit
ain and France having access to
our shores? Their navies assure
that"
And here, he reiterated, 80, As

Tenor Frederick Joge| Wants
New National Anthem

Frederick Jagel Metropolitan
Opera tenor who sings little in the
bathtub and never In q barroom,
has a complaint to make. It's about
the Star Spangled Banner" He
wants to scrap it and get q real ma
tional anthem that somebody can
sing.
Mr.. Jasel, who appears in Con-
stitution Hall tonight in Wagner's
"Lohengrin," sat in his Mayflower
Hotel room yesterday and insisted
that the present national anthem
Is "too low" for the average voice
to sing and "too high" for a voice
low enough to master its depth.
Besides" he said, turning his
attention to the verse;" the words
don't express the tradition of Amer
lea or its ideals. They simply COM
memorate a single incident-the
shelling of Fort McHenry in Balti-
more"
And what is more, he went on,
the music is taken from an old Eng
lish song of about Ito called ITO
Anacreon In Heaven" A John Stat
ford Smith is credited with the lyric,
he said.
Mr.. Jagel, whose fine memory has
enabled him to master 40 operatic
roles in three languages. is not alone
in his criticism. He and Jack
Dempsey have talked the matter
over and heartily agree on the
matter. So does Ferde Grofe, the
composer, who thinks words might
effectively be set to Sousa's STARS
and Stripes Forever"
The tenor, whose serious express
sion bellies his good nature, said
he intends to communicate with
Secretary Ickes and with Chairman
Martin Dies of the House committee
investigating un-American activities
regarding his proposal.
Mr.. Jagel became interested in q
new national anthem last summer
in Buenos Aires when he was asked
by Ambassador Alexander Weddell
to sing the anthem and did not
know the words.
II knew part Of the first verse;"
Evening star., 1939-02-15

he said. "The Ambassadors wife
did not know all Of them either"
So he investigated. He learned
that the Star spangled Banner"
was made the ofncial anthem OF
the Army in, 1917 to avoid conflict
Of America" with the British "God
Save the King" 1t was made the
national anthem by act OF Con-
gress In 1881, he said.
Mr.. Jagel, who is now in his 18th
season with the Metropolitan Opera,
said he had been told that the music
was applied to the words of Francis
Scott Key in a tavern by q troupe
that was playing in Baltimore. That
was the angle Jack Dempsey liked,
Mr.. Jagel said with a smile.
They might start a new one in
my tavern" Mr.. Jagel said the old
Manassa Mauler told him with q
laugh,
