issue with the President on his
position. A short time ago she re-
ceived from an Assistant Attorney
General a brief letter advising her
that the letter addressed to the
President had been referred to the
Department of Justice and that
the contents had been carefully
noted" Surprised, and DESTROYS Of
refreshing her memory as to what
she had said in the letter, a copy
Of which she failed to keep, the
woman wrote and asked the de-
partment to send her a copy of her
letter. A photostat copy bearing
two rubber stamp marks of the
criminal division" was mailed to
her. This is not the first instance
where the White House has turned
over to the Department Of Justice
letters written in criticism Of ad-
ministration policies.
Have affairs reached a point in
this country where American citi-
zens cannot write to their presi-
dent and criticize him without
having such letters turned over to
the Criminal Division of the De-
partment of Justice? Just what Is
the purpose of turning these letters
over to the legal division of the
government? Are we getting ready
to set UP a "Gestapo" in America,
such as they now have in the
totalitarion states in Europe? Is
this but a forerunner of concen-
tration camps and purges?
Frankly, it would seem that we
have been much nearer to losing
our individual liberties than many
Of us have realized. The old say
ing that, eternal Vigilance is
the Price of Liberty" is as true to-
day as it ever was.
Rise in Relief Rolls
Official figures bear out the
statement made late in the cam
paign that the Work Projects Ad-
ministration rolls have increased
by more than 10000 since the first
part of June. On October 16 WPA
employment totaled 1,768, 100 COM
pared with 1,611,213 during the
first week of June, and the rolls
are increasing on an average OF
1000 a week. I cannot understand
these figures. Information from
Canada discloses that since the
outbreak of the war there has been
a sharp reduction in the number
on Canadian relief. Several times
during the campaign the President
and other New Dealers pointed
with pride to the fact that the UNI
slack was being taken
up at the rate Of 10000 per month.
How can we reconcile this increase
in relief rolls with the increase in
employment? Far be it from me to
insinuate that the increase has any
political significance. ...
A Word OF Thanks
I am deeply grateful to the
people of the Sixth District for the
splendid manner in which they
have looked after my campaign
during my enforced absence. AS
most of you know, I was compelled
to enter a Washington hospital
three weeks ago and a week later
underwent minor operation,
which continues to keep me con-
fled and probably will for another
week. At no time have ] worried
particularly about the campaign
as knew that it was being ably
looked after by loyal friends to
whom I owe a great deal. I hope
that it will be possible for me to
return to Minnesota for a week or
two before the cold weather sets

PROCLAMATION
Armistice Day, November II.
a national holiday, should be q

kATuilSCICe Lay, NOVOIuUcE IL
a national holiday, should be q
time for reflection, profound
thought and reverent prayer for
peace. Fresh in the memories
OF most Of our people are the
horrors Of war, and with a world
enVeloped in the flames of hate,
there are dangers today which
directly affect us.
Joy was rampant on Armis-
tice Day, 1918, on this Armistice
Day. 1910, sober and sincere
thought should prevail.
Therefore. I, Mayor Of Sank
Centre, do hereby urge all citi-
zens to solemnly and sincerely
observe this occasion in thought
and deed. I ask that all cooper
ate with the Veterans in the
display of our national emblem,
and that those, who wish to
pause from their regular duties,
do so in the cause of peace. The
welfare of our nation should
be uppermost in our thoughts
today, and every American citi-
zen should work toward that
end, without question.
I urge: Observe Armistice
Day thoughtfully and prayer
fully"
Signed:

LONE GOOSE IS
GONE GOSLING-

A lone goose that went sailing
around in the crisp air of Tues
day morning is a gone gosling to-
day. Proud trophy of the 1910
hunting season is this Canadian
honker for Archie Faulhaber and
Junior Vandesteeg. The boys say
the goose circled them, settled on
the river, then took off at which
point he got the benefit of blasts
from both guns. He was described
as a big bird with a voluminous
wing spread and a neck that would
do well on a giraffe. The hunters
will eat him in the same double
ibarreled way they shot him-to-
gether.
In the meantime lot of the boys
who couldn't go hunting Tuesday,
as gray skies and the first ap-
pearance of colder weather came,
were chatting at the bit. For the
first scattered flocks from the
north were driving on through.

CAPITOL

'Iet There Be Peace"
BY Harold Knutson

LOU DC Il
Ere this letter appears in print
the 1910 campaign will have passed
into history. All will concede that
it was some battle, in which the
radio played an unusually import
ant part. @
Unfortunately, I was not able to
take an active part because of ill
ness which has kept me in a local
hospital for nearly three weeks.
This is one campaign that I had
really looked forward to taking
part in because of some unusual
issues at stake. I have referred to
these various factors from time to
time in my weekly letters as they
have been the outstanding issues
the past three or more years.
AS I said at the outset, the cleo
ton will be over before this letter
will appear in print. The future lies
before us. Let us all turn our ener-
gies toward making this a better
country in which to live. It is now
the best land in all the world but
my readers will agree with me
that there is room for improve
ment.
Are There Secret Understandings?
Rumors persist that we have
secret understandings and commit
ments with one or more foreign
countries that may rise to haunt
and plague us before long. One of
the persistent rumors is that we
have an agreement with England
under which we may use Singa-
pore az a naval and air base, In
some ways an agreement Of that
kind would be advantageous, but
the advantages, to be gained would
be more than offset by the obliga-
tions that we would have to as
sumo. If we are to take over joint
protection Of Singapore it would
definitely commit US to the main
.tenance of status quo in the ORR
ent, and that might well mean war
with Japan, and finally with the
Axis powers. To my way Of think
ing, that would be altogether too
big a price to pay for the use OF
Singapore or any other foreign
owned naval base IN the Orient.
Therefore, If such an agreement
does exist it should be denounced
before it Is too late. We have no
business meddling in Asiatic and
European affairs. The foreign poll
ry of this government should be
primarily concerned with main
tanning the integrity of the western
hemisphere. After all, that is our
real sphere of influence and one
to which we should confine our
selves.
Is This America?

ed his famous "Stab in the Back"

Some Of Crew Quit
On Learning Plans
For Queen Elizabeth
SoiIor Reveals Nearly 30
Were Dissatisfied
With Guarantees
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 8.-Most of
the crew members of Queen Eliza
beth, worlds largest vessel, stuck by
when they learned that they were to
attempt to bring the ship to New
York, but nearly 80 gave up their
berths, it was revealed here today by
a crewman who remained with the
ship.
The dissatisfied members of the
crew quit the ship at Greenock, at
the mouth of the River Clyde.
They had signed on, the sailor
said, thinking they were going on a
commonplace cruise from Greenock
to Southampton, about TOO miles
down the British coast. They were
to get 4 pounds and TO-" about
SIT.
Some of those who got off," he
continued, were dissatisfied with
the company's guarantees, and other
said they had not been signed on to
60 to New York.
There was disagreement about
= guarantee of their security. The
commander, the chief engineer and
representatives of the British Board
of Trade met all of the sailors at
Greenock to discuss the differences.
A guarantee of bonus Of 80 pounds
(aoout $120) was made.
Despite this promise, about 80
crew members still were reluctant to
continue with the voyage, so they
got off. They were afraid to face
the hazards. The remainder, in
spired by their loyalty to the COM
pany and their country, were willing
to proceed"

Ickes Charges Lobby
In Disaster Data

Secretary of Interior Ickes, who
was attacked by the American Min
ing Congress for giving publicity to
a Government report on the cause
of the mine explosion at BARLEY,
w. Va, January 10, replied today
he "does not believe in any hush
hush policy, which. If persisted in,
might mean the killing and maim-
ing of additional hundreds of men,"
Mr.. Ickes charged q mining
lobby" with attempting to "hush up"
the inquiry into the mine explosion
which took the lives of 81 men.
when I decided to make the
BARLEY report public" the cabinet
officer said, Il thought that we would
find out who sought to conceal the
facts of mine explosions and what
they wanted hidden. The American
Mining Congress furnishes the in
formation"
Secretary 1ckes defended publica-
ton of the report by citing the In
terstate Commerce Commission re-
ports on train disasters and the
publicity given marine disasters by
the Bureau of Navigation and Steam
Inspection reports.
He had been accused by the min
ing congress of revealing informa- =
ton given and taken in strictest
confidence" The Ickes report also
has been attacked as mask of
propaganda" in favor of the Fed
eral mine inspection bill now stalled
in q House committee.
Asserting his right to make in
formation public, Mr.. Ickes charged
the lobby" is in direct conflict
with Congress which passed law
that such an investigation should
be undertaken and the results made
public" The Bureau of Mines, he
said, has statement from its Bart
ley investigators that none Of the
information they obtained was ac-
cepted with any pledge Of conf
dence.
