One America Slogan
Is Seen by Peru's
New Air Ahache
Col. Armondo Revoredo
Here to Participate in
Defense Discussions
By w. H. SHIPPEN, Jr.

"One America. from Alaska to the
tip of the Horn"
The war raging in Europe is bring
ing this slogan home to South
America as never before.
In the past the republics to the
South had reason to suspect that
sentiment in this country for a
united hemisphere might be a phase
of so-called Yankee imperialism. u
Now, however, the picture has
changed. That, at any rate, is the
opinion of one of South America S
ranking military fyers-Col. Arman-
do Revoredo, the new air attache
at the Peruvian Embassy.
Just before coming to the United
States, Col. Revoredo led a squad
ron of Peruvian airplanes on a tour
of South American capitals. The
ovations which the flyers received
seemed an indication of South
Americas growing desire for a
united front against the threat of
foreign domination. The Peruvian
Congress voted Col. Revoredo his
rank in recognition of the success
full fight.
To Discuss Defense.
Peru sent Col. Revoredo to the
United States to participate in
hemisphere defense discussions and
to see what can be done to strength
en- her air force. The flyer expects
to remain in this country about two
years. Asked If South Americans
had any fear that the armament
program in this country might lead
to a more aggressive policy toward
the Latin American Republics, Col.
Revoredo replied:
mo. Certainly not in a military
sense. As for economic policies,
that may be another matter. We
in South America must trade with
Europe.
Europe needs some of our prod
ucts and we need some of Europe's.
I am sure you in the United States
realize this"
Col. Revoredo was a physician
until he took up flying seven years
ago. He studied medicine in Lima
and at the University of Madrid,
and did postgraduate work in New
York City. He was on the staff of
one of Lima's leading hospitals when
he received an appointment as
physician for the air force.
The young doctors associa ton
with pilots and airplanes led to a
new interest - flying. During his
spare time he learned to pilot an
airplane himself. He became so
enthusiastic he decided to inter-
rupt his medical career and apply
for q commission in the air force.
But when the doctor sought a med
ical examination, it was refused
him the air force needed an
experienced doctor more than a
novice flyer.
Won Wings on Medical Call.
Some time later, however, the
doctor got his chance. He was
stationed at the San Ramon Air
Base when word came that a man
lay desperately i'll in the distant
jungle town of Yesupe. No regu-
lar pilots were available to 60 to
the mans rescue, and the physician
volunteered. He completed the
dangerous and difficult mission like

Col. Revoredo has many long
distance flights to his credit in a

sometimes up 5000 feet and peaks
of the Andes project almost 10000
feet more. Landing q fast atrplane

LET ALLIES DEFEND
THEMSELVES
Editor Askov American:

Editor Askov American:
The plan of the President to pre-
pare this nation against any agrees
sor is real American plan. Any
nation that depends on some other
nation to defend it will have no de-
Tense. "Trust in yourself" is good
motto.
England and France alone in Eu-
rope have population equal to that
of Germany. Besides they have vast
holdings all over the world. If they
cannot defend themselves let them
go under; if they can defend them
selves, that much the better. Other
wise we will have raft full of kings,
lords, dukes and earls over here.
In 1918 the United States by direct
military aid made victory possible
for the Allies. 1t was understood
that there would be some unifcation
of Europe through league of ma
tons or some other form of fedora
ton. Instead of cooperating in this
plan England and France merely
feathered their own nests and played
power politics and started aggression
in Africa and elsewhere as they had
done for hundreds of years. After all:
There comes tide in the affairs
of men,
When taken at the flood leads on to
fortune,
Omitted and all the voyages of your
life,
Is bound in shadows and misery"
1t is a certainty that France and
England had their chance. They
failed to give Europe unifcation, JUS
tice or equality-now let them fry
in their own grease. Let them sleep
in their own foul beds which they
themselves have made. The many
neutral nations whose neutrality have
been violated by Germany are inno-
cent victims of brutal aggression
brought about by the maladjustment
in Europe-they are just little fish
who got caught in the swim.

In the military world of Europe
great confidence reposes in the ole
experts. They are not considered
being on the verge of senility-a case
illustrated also by the fact that ir
1914 old and retired German gen.
erals like Paul Won Hindenburg and
Erich Ludendorff were asked to take
charge. Like so much else, this
World War fact is being repeated
now.
Hope runs high that the men OF
ripest experience will succeed where
younger army chieftans have failed
What About Italy?
Italy still straddles the fence-and
one gets the impression that Signor
Mussolini is waiting merely to see
which side is likely to win; which
side, consequently, will be most pro-
fitable to join.
His son-in-law, Foreign Minister
Galeazzo Ciano, a few days ago at
Milan made the statement that Italy
cannot stay out of the war, and that
it was ready to fulfill its engage
mentS.
Since the speech was delivered on
the first anniversary of the signing
of the German-Italian treaty of alli-
ance, it was not necessary to do any
jumping to arrive at the conclusion
that when Mussolini is ready to de-
eide, it will be in favor of Germany.
And since he appears to be able to
throw two million men into the war,
Britain and France have quite extra
reason for increasing their alertness.
Sweden Adamant.
In Norway, the greater part of
which is now in German hands, a
small German garrison still occupies
the iron-ore port of Narvik. The
Germans seem to be in a desperate
situation, cut off, as they are, from
all supplies. So Hitler decided that
they must have reinforcements.
Fresh troops, however, could reach
Narvik along only one route, and
that was through Sweden. AS a re-
suit, German demand was sent to
Stockholm: Would the government
permit German soldiers to travel
through Swedish territory?
The reply was instantly forthcom-
ing: Sweden would tolerate no Ger
man soldiers on its soil; it would
fight rather than consent to even a
merely technical violation of its neu-
trality!
Next question: Will Hitler now at
tack Sweden?

from psychological authority-Dr

HITLER DEFEAT

Editor Askov American:
l notice in the Duluth News-Tri-
bune of May %, that Hitler was de-
feated in Askov the night of May 81
on the issue of teaching the Danish
language in the public schools of
Askov. The "a or so of us who
registered vote of protest against
the method of conducting these
classes in the past evidently did not
understand the issue clearly. Ger
tainly none of us in our stupidity
realized we were voting for Hitler.
Some seven or eight years ago this
issue was raised, and I voted and
spoke in favor of teaching the Danish
language as realized it would be of
benefit to my own and other children
of non-Danish speaking families iv-
ing in this community. We were
given to understand at that time
that the Danish language actually
would be taught. With that in view
we encouraged our children to at
tend and apply themselves to these
classes and our children did so. What
is the result? My oldest girl can
read Danish books, sing Danish songs,
but-and here is the joker-she
doesn't understand word of it. The
meaning of words has never been
taught
The most that can be said is that
Danish classes have in the past been
conducted for the benefit of children
taught Danish at home. If the Dam
ish language actually had been taught
I doubt you could find half a dozen
people living in this community
against it.
Sociologists who have not been
reared and stepped in foreign psy-
chology from birth, clearly realize
that the continued maintenance of
Island-like foreign speaking groups
in this nation is an impossibility.
America is breaking away from this
towards homogeneous whole, either
through marriage or by inclin-
alton. In short, this nation of ours,
formerly the melting pot of nations,
is beginning to jell. America is break
ing away from racial consciousness
not further into it, towards unity and
nativeness as whole rather than
Nation of Nations" Louis Adamic's

THE INVENTION OF NEW JOBS
(WinOna -Hera1d)

(Winona Republican-Herald)
1t is not easy to realize, after the
last 10 years, that during most of its
history this country has suffered
from shortage, rather than a sur
plus, of labor. Vast immigration in
the second half of the 10Th century
was in some part response to this.
Industry was growing at tremen-
dous pace, absorbing workers who
did not prefer to take up new land.
AS Charles F. Kettering pointed out
in connection with the 150th ami
versary of the patent office, it was the
shortage of labor which spurred in
vention of so many labor-saving de-
vices. Industry was competing for
a limited labor supply with the fact
of free agricultural land for settle
ment. This gave tremendous slim
illus to invention.
Today the problem is very differ
ent. There is not shortage of labor,
save in certain fields. There is not
likely to be general labor shortage
for a long time to come. Conse-
quently, as Mr.. Kettering also OBJ
served, industry's problem is becom-
ing one of discovering or inventing
labor-creating industries-not inef-
ficient production technics requiring
lots of labor but new products with
great ramifications in service in
duStries or requiring vast new out
lays for plant equipment. In a word
invention must be turned to develop
ment of such industries as will tempt
investment capital into use and offer
new work for men and women need
ing work.
The best example in recent DECADES
is the industry Mr.. Kettering is asso-
ciated with-the motor industry. It
uses labor-saving devices without
number. Yet when the whole impact
of the automobile is considered
highway building, service stations,
accessory making, along with the
motor industry itself-it is plain that
invention and refinement of the auto
mobile has added enormously to the
total fund of jobs.
Research and invention must be
guided, as far as may be, into the
channels that will evoke similar new
opportunities, for this means new
jobs.

The popularity about this war is
that one rarely hears anything defin-

about one-third of the city had been
