THE PROBLEM REMAINS
Editor ASkov American:

Although billions have been appro-
priated for preparedness and will be
spent, the nation cannot escape the
fact that there are still 10 millions
of workers unemployed That prob
lem still exists after 10 years of de-
preston. 1t will be increased rather
than diminished after the billions
appropriated for new battleships, air
planes and munitions have been spent.
For time this money will be added
to the purchasing power until the
nation is thoroughly prepared for
defense against any attack, when the
buying power of those who have
sold to the nation materials and have
drawn money as wages, will stop
suddenly and the country will face
an even greater depression than ex-
lists at present.
The need of the Townsend plan
will become more evident to citi-
zens than it is today and all will
recognize the cause of their trouble.
To them the Townsend plan will
seem neither fantastic nor foolish.
In short we will be back exactly
where we have been for the past 10
years.
There will be great lament from the
many who have refused to accept
the Townsend plan as the one way to
keep business prosperous and pro-
vide for every citizen the right to
earn his own living and to every
youth his place in the sun.
The Townsend plan proposes no
new burden of taxation. Through
the gross income tax it pays as it
spends, through compulsory spending
each month, through annuities, all
citizens over go years of age who
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1940-08-15

voluntarily retire from gainful occu-
patton will become the safety valve
for all business. People will no long
er look forward to pauper's old age.
There will be real security. The
Townsend plan becomes more than
desirable social reform, it becomes
an economic necessity.
1t requires no evidence to show that
this country produces food for all,
that it has the machinery to manu-
facture shoes and clothing, that it has
the man power to build comfortable
home for every family. Nor will
any one dispute that this country
must have constantly increased
standard of living; take care of the
masses first and then you will have
a fighting army. Consuming power
must equal the production capacity
if our American system is to be pre-
served.
What the politicians overlook is
that the Townsend plan is recov-
cry plan, as well as a pension plan,
designed to keep money circulating
rapidly and furnishing buying power
to stagnant business. Some business
men are seeing this now. They no
longer smile at the Townsend plan.
They have found that it is not only
important but inevitable; that it is
| the only way in which business can
be revived and kept alive.
Plans for the future will be made.
Conditions change and the Townsend
plan must meet these changes, ever
alert to the nations needs. For it
must be remembered that this is
an American movement, dedicated to
the preservation of our constitution
and the American way of life. We
must preserve the things we have
now through the centuries and de-
fend them. AS Townsendites we
know that the adoption of the plan
is more than necessary in this grave
hour. We know that safe nation
is a secure nation and that safety
can only come through a proper dis
tribution of labor. 1t must be strong
in character. It must not sink into
pauperiSm.
That is why it is important that
your town or village organize a
Townsend club and be represented
Your decision may determine the
course our country is to take in flu
ture years.

Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service.

Miss Virginia Karlson will be back
in the county again, as her vacation
was over August IL. She will be in
Pine City Mondays, the same as
usual and will have her office in
Hinckley, at the school building, the
balance of the week. This month she
will have exhibits at the county fair
and other fairs throughout the county.
Subcommittee meetings will be
scheduled next week.
School will open September 3 this
year in many of the communities.
AS a good health measure, parents
should be sure that their children's
teeth, if decayed, and other physical
defects be taken care of before that
date, to avoid serious complications
later on. They should have adequate
food and rest in we'll ventilated, clean
rooms.
A good way to help extend the
Public Health Nursing Service to
children, and adults as we'll, in your
neighborhood is to share with your
neighbor the information you have
on the value of medical supervision.
Encourage all parents to take advan-
tage of immunization against small
poX and diphtheria. Ask for visits
from your public health nurse and
discuss your problems with her. Ask
her to talk at your Mothers and Fa-
Tiers clubs through the winter
months.

coveries, of new life, as America

DEATH OF THE LEAGUE :?
Duluth NeWS-Tribune)

Joseph A. c. Avenol, secretary
general of the League of Nations for
seven years, has sent kilograms to the
member nations announcing his res
ignatiOn because present day realities
make his office no longer necessary.
This seems to end the League of
Nations. The League seemed Kind
of joke when the world was at peace
and another war seemed unthinkable.
Now it occurs to a lot of people,
even in the United States, that the
League was a grand idea that might
have saved the world from future
wars if it had received the support
of all nations from the beginning.
Certainly the selfshness and tim
idity of other nations killed the
League. But can Americans take any
pride in the part their country has
played in connection with the League
all through this postwar period?
We must share in the shame of the
Leagues own members, present and
past, that so noble an effort to solve
one of mans worst problems has
failed so completely, because men in
every land misjudged the future and
underestimate the threat of war
that has hung over civilization ever
since Nov. II, 1918.
