the long run 1t would pay us to
break off relations with her as
Japanese victory in China would
mean that the door will be closed
to all nations, except herself, and
we will lose the valuable Chinese
trade, which was growing by leaps
and bounds up to the time Japan
went in with her armies. Latin
America and China are about the
only two trade fields that are left
to us now.
While we are about it we should
also rencunce the treaty that we
made with Russia several years
ago. The civilized nations of the
world should boycott that barbar-
Gus country which has been badly
overrated as military power. The
brave Firms, by their courageous
stand, have shown Russia to be
what she is-a big shell stuffed with
husks. 1t is very gratifying to note
the timely assistance that is be-
ing given Finland by her neigh
bors and some of the great powers.
MURPHY TO SUPREME BENCH
Washington was not the least
surprised when the White House
announced last Thursday that At
tcrney General Murphy had been
elevated to the Supreme Court.
1t was generally recognized that
his appointment was the logical
one for the President to make al
though it is unfortunate that the
new Justice does not entertain
more decided views en- the illegal
ity of sit-down strikes. AS Gov
ernor of Michigan he permitted
workers to take forcible possession
of large industrial plants in De-
troit, Flint, and ether cities in that
state and made little or no effort
to observe the rights of the owners.
Like Justice Black, Justice Murphy
got his legal start as police judge,
both going from that bench to- high
places in politics. The President
seems to set high store on police
court experience as a requisite for
appointment to the Supreme Court.
HEAVY MORTALITY
The House has been drawn upon
very heavily by the grim reaper
the past few months. In the first
three days Of the New Year we lost
three members, George H. Heinke
of Nebraska and Wallace E. Pierce
Of New York, both Republicans,
and William Ashbrook(DD of Ohio.
There are new 10 vacancies in the
House, which must be filled by
special elections. There have been
9 deaths since the first of October.
Most of them being caused by heart
failure. The late Representative
Heinke was a brother of Carl Helm
Ike, of Pequot, who is active in the
civic affairs of that community.
He was promising legislator SER
wing his first term in Congress.

serious to lose life in peacetime
than in war;" he asked.
Mr.. Flynn reviewed the many de-
pressions which have followed the
wars of the world, and stated that
there are many who say we are
losing money by remaining neutral,
but he believed the present loss of
money much better than the loss
of lives. He intimated that the
cost of neutrality will be great, but
that entering the war would bring
a greater cost in life and a depres-
sion to follow. Take our losses now,
and save the lives of our boys, was
his advice. He quoted General
Washington's advice against for
eign influence and intrigue and
stated that our borders are not in
France but on the Atlantic sea-
board, the Pacific, Canada and
Mexico.
In mentioning the debts of the
world war now owed to us and re-
pudiated by all but Finland, he
said, that they have been free with
our money, and we the older men
of our country have been free with
the lives of our boys. He told what
could be built Of value to this
country for the money spent in the
world war, and his quotations were
staggering. Hospitals, homes for
distressed and numerous other
things Of value were included, with
large sums left over.
We can remain neutral he said,
and "the failure of Europe to pay
us the $4,000, 600 900 she owes us
may be worth its cost if it serves to
keep us out of her present war"
Mr.. Flynn is a dynamic speaker
and his talk was of interest and Of
great value in present problems.
He held forth the hope that the
United States can maintain neu-
trality, and although the cost may
be great it will be well worth it.

mightiest thrust. Peterson con-
tributed six points this quarter with
Olson grabbing two. Only Nelson
scored for the locals with a two
point gain on the eight they had.
Desperate now trying to close
7 point lead, Sank Centre began
popping at the basket. She missed
a lot, but she made some too. Hill
debrand converted two from the
floor before Alexandria scored.
Blanchard and Cooper on a double
foul kept the three point margin
intact when both connected. And
this quarter was Hildebrand's inn

in the frame. He paced his club
to close that lead to points, but
Erickson snatched it back again
with a bucket on that disastrous
fast break. Cooper dumped a long
shot. Peterson and Hildebrand
split on free throws. Olson scored,
and Hildebrand took another free
throw. With only 2 and one-quart-

a four point lead and Sank Centre
was near to pay dirt. But not near

ket brought them to 81 points.

CAPITOL
BY CONGRESSMAN Knutson
PRESIDENT SUBMITS
NEW RIIDGET

Congress met on Wednesday of
last week and two hours after
converting the President delivered
his annual message in person to a
Joint session of the two Houses.
Its reading consumed about thirty
minutes. Aside from his declar-
alton that America would not get
into the war, which evoked ap-
plause from both sides of the
aisle, there was no outstanding
features or highlights. His decla-
ration for peace was in strong con-
trast to the belligerent tone that he
used a year ago, which indicates to
me that he has been keeping his
ear to the ground and has come to
the conclusion that the American
people are practically unanimous in
their demand that this government
commit no overt act that might
draw us into the conflict across the
waters.
On Thursday the President SUBJ
mitted his budget which calls for
billion 424 million dollars, ap-
portioned as follows:
National Defense .$1 300, 0O0, 900
Work-relief Programs. 1,400, 0OO, 900
Pensions, Retirements,
Etc. ............................ 1900, Ooo, ooO

Investments ................ 1,1OO,OOO,OOO

Debt ............................ LOO, OOO, oOo
Agricultural Program 100000, O0C
Regular Operating ........ 1000 900, 0OC
The anticipated net revenue for
next fiscal year is 5 billion SAT

will leave a deficit of about 3 bill

frame with the quota Of personals.
But even the rough and tumble
aspects Of the game didn't height
en- the interest a great deal.
Leading the march for the John
MES was forward Tooley who grab
bed of 16 points and apparently
had lot Of fun doing it. Right
behind him was guard Paul with
IA; and forward Browne with 10.
Pulling fast break after fast break
the Johnnies moved into pay dirt
often after first quarter lag.
Tooley scored nearly half his
points, intercepting cross court
passes and breaking before the
Buccaneer offensive had time to
turn tail and pick up the defensive
thread.
For Sank Centre Conkey, with z,
and Kringen, with 6. scored heav-
lest. In the first half the boys kept
in the running, scored fair in the
third, but In the fourth scored only
three points. The Johnnies waltz
ed on for IS in that frame alone.
Pacing the count in the first
quarter Conkey scored first. Tool
ey, Fahnlander, Browne kept apace
with a bracket of five free throws.
Conkey, Deziel and Kringen scored
on free throws. Tooley started his
mad cap dashes to the bucket and
the Johnnies rolled into a first
quarter lead IL to z. Those John
MES were faster than chain light
ming and their second quarter eff
fort surged them to "a to IL lead
and from there on in it was theirs
all the way.
In the third Conkey, Kringen,
Harris scored from the field, and
Larson and Kringen converted
free throws. But the Johnnies were
busy as beavers what with Tooley,
Browne, Moher, and Fahnlander
again rolling on to 38 points.
Stretching to an Is point lead the
rout was well under way in the
fourth when Coach Rasmussen
jerked the starting five and threw
in the reserves. Thompson convert
ed a free throw and Stretch duck
ed through under the basket to
close Sank Centre scoring. The
Johnny juggernaut rolled right
along in the persons of Shelly, Paul,
Browne and Tooley who scored
hand running to hatch that 3S
points to a Sc point final score.
It's the second defeat the locals
have had for the year in four
starts. Their first came at the
hand Of George Durenberger's
freshmen too when in the opening
game the Johnnies won so to 16.
The box score:
