than any previous wartime broad
cast, attribute 1t to the fact that
after all the President is Dutch
man." And he's proud Of his an
cestry. The Netherlands was in
vaded the day he spoke. Months
ago, when the Low Countries were
first threatened with Nazi violation,
1t was recorded In this column that
such an adventure by Hitler would
bring the European war home to our
reigning family as hardly anything
else except an attack on the United
States. Mrs. Roosevelt, in her syndi-
Gated column day or two later,
wrote that any menace to Holland
would naturally be a matter OF spe-
cial concern to the Roosevelt clan
and other Americans Of Dutch
origin. These include the isola-
zionist branch of the Roosevelt
tribe. Alice Longworth and Young
Teddy. They also include isolation

way, that In itself would not deter
mine Mr.. Roosevelt's policy, but It
would hardly improve his opinion Of
the Nazis, which is already pretty
low.
Political Truce?
There comes from a highly re-
spected quarter the suggestion that
the war now is sufiiciently Sc
rious proposition for the United
States to justify a 1910 political
truce" The brainwave, of which a
former Democratic member OF Con.
gress is the patentee, seems Utopian
IN this hour Of practical and bit
terly partisan politics. Imagine
how the elephant would trumpet
at the thought OF calling everything
of. with Philadelphia Just around
the corner, and dozen of his more
or less favorite sons rarin' to 60!
Imagine the alarm with which their
fellow-Barhses in the Democratic
camp would view truce idea, at
the root of which appears to lie
a suggestion to hand Roosevelt a
third term on a silver platter.

War Situation to Decide.
Somewhere along the Maginot
Line, rather than at No. 1900 Penn

sion about third nomination Is
likely to be made. In these blitzkrieg
days, prediction is hazardous. Any
thing can happen between now and
the time the Democrats begin to
assemble for their national con-
vention exactly two months from
today. But in this quarter the
prophecy is once again risked that
Roosevelt will choose to run, espe-
cially if allied fortunes are still in
reverse, or even in doubt Should
the situation for Britain and France
be definitely worse with increased
probability that Hitler cannot be
stopped, the opinion Is here and

viii Have Whist Parties.

At the Commercial club meeting
Monday evening in the American
recreation room it was decided to
sponsor series of whist parties. The
first of these will be held on the
second Monday evening in December,
the 9th, in the American recreation
room. A worthwhile prize will like
ly be offered to the person getting
the highest score. A charge OF 10
cents will be asked from each play
er to cover expenses involved.
The officers of the club extend a
hearty welcome to everyone inter-
ested in whist to come to these parties.
Future parties will be governed by
the success of the first one, so if you
are interested and desire this type
of entertainment then be sure to at
tend.

more certain that German troops will
not be landed on English soil for some
time to come.
Ever More Bombs.
It had been thought that Hitler was
planning to undermine the morale
of the British by constant air raids
and then, when the British had be-
come sufficiently weakened, would
invade the British Isles.
There is at this moment no
indication that German troops
will venture across the Channel.
But the bombardments continue at
an increasing rate. The other night
the great industrial city of Coventry
was laid waste by German bombs,
and London suffered the worst at
tack it has yet experienced. But
even though the war is becoming more
and more furious, there is no sign
that the British have lost courage.
They still are convinced that in the
end they will succeed in their eff
forts to eradicate nazism, and the
longer the actual German invasion
is postponed, the better Great Britain
will be prepared to resist tiff and
when it takes place.
German hesitation means stronger
British resistance, and, as far as now
can be seen, bombs do not seem to
alter that situation.
AnglO-RuSSian.
1t may be recalled that last year,
that is, before the outbreak of the
war, Great Britain tried energetical-
ly to form an alliance with Soviet
Russia-not because London loved
Moscow, but because such an agree
ment might be useful in time of

crisis. Nothing came of it, for the
Russians insisted on more advantages
than England wanted to offer, and
the British seemed to be so slow in
making up their minds that Russia
lost patience and, in August, 1899,
turned toward its potential enemy,
Germany, and signed a friendship
treaty with it.
Now it is learned that al
though no alliance may be sought,
the British still want an under
standing with the Russians, and
are reported to ave offered
recognition of Soviet rights in
occupied EstOnia, Latvia and
Lithuania; also participation on
equal terms with other powers
in whatever peace conference will
terminate the present war, and
-finally-that Britain would not
associate itself with any attack
on Russia.
Exactly what has been demanded
from Russia in return, and what
Russia may have replied, is unknown
Objective.
But what is known is that Italy's
war on Greece is planned to develop
into an invasion of Yugoslavia, Bull
garia and Turkey in order to paralyze
British power at the Suez canal and
in Egypt, and it is in exactly this
connection that Breat Britain may
need Russian friendship, even in a
negative and passive form. How

Clerks Kept Busy.
The new store was undoubtedly the
busiest place in town Tue d a y,
possibly establishing a record it will
find hard to equal, making no less
than 1873 sales which amounted to
nearly $3.50. In the meat department
Mr.. johnson served over 100 CUSTOM
ers, the sales totaling about $50. The
81 grocery orders given free to each
5Oth customer went to Mrs. Soren
Jensen, Kai Skov and Miss Sylvia
Johnson in that order. Harald B.
johnson assisted in waiting on the
customers and all the clerks were kept
busy from early in the morning un-
til late evening.
Miss Ali Jalonen of Superior, Wis,
kitchen tester for the Central Co.
operative Wholesale of Superior, was
on hand all day to demonstrate the
Coop brand of coffee, which to-
gether with cookies, etc., was served
free throughout the day. Four local
women assisted her in serving, near
ly 400 cups of coffee being passed out.
Board is Active.
During the past two or three weeks
the board of directors of the associ-
alton has held many extra meetings
in order to complete the many details
involved in getting the new store
started and operating smoothly. The
members of the board have also taken
very active part in the actual ar
rangement of the fixtures, moving
the stock and planning the displays.
The members of the board are as fol-
lows: Louis Olsen, president; Wayne
Lawson, vice president; Hans Mos
back, secretary treasurer; E W. d
Dietz, Sigurd Lunde, Mrs. A. G..
Danielson, and Mrs. Chas. Krantz,
directors.
Up to this time the new organiza-
ton has sold nearly $4,000 worth of
shares in the association to more than
100 families in the community. Now
that the business is actually going
they naturally expect to sell many
more shares and would like to dispose
of as many as possible in order to
give the new concern plenty of
operating capital.

Rev. p. H. Petersen Dead.

From Perth Amboy, N. j., comes
the news that Rev. P. H. Petersen
died there last week following a
stroke. The old timers in Askov
will recall that Mr.. and Mrs. Peder-
sen were the originators of the Askov
Variety Store, then located in the
present new Coop Store, but in the
old building which was much smaller.
For more than 20 years, however,
Rev. Petersen has served as mini
ster in the Danish Lutheran church
in America, his last place being at
Perth Amboy. Previous to that he
served at Omaha, Nebr., Withee, Wis,
and other places. Rev. Petersen also
served as a minister previous to his
business venture in ASkov.
