Continued From Page Eight

he said that the lives of two men
might depend on information about
this island, or whatever it ISL"
Putting two and two together
he answered, II should imagine
he's got a couple of men looking
around out there, and he's afraid
they're in danger"
She looked Charles square in the
eyes.
IF that's so, they probably are!
Perhaps they're the one who are
obstinate"
II shouldn't be surprised!"
Then they have my sympathy
I shouldn't like to be in the hands
of this gang if they'd got anything
against me. and I may be, too
some time!" She rose suddenly te
her feet. Here, this won't do! I'm
getting morbid! Just take me back
to the ballroom, will you? Ano
drop me, nicely and publicly"
Charles Cazelton went to look for
Toni. He found her dancing, but
she flashed him a message with
her eyes that she wanted to speak
to him.
He waited until she was free,
and then claimed her. They danced
for a couple of minutes, and then
she said:
Take me and get me a drink. 1
want to talk to YOU"
OF course it was about Gun she
wanted to talk. Charles, listening
to what she had to say, looked
grave.
whats it all about?" she asked
him.
II know nothing, Toni"
"Liar!" she said bluntly. You
mean you won't tell me-"
He shook his head.
II KNOW nothing-but I DO sus-
pect something. But, of course, 1
mustn't talk"
Just tell me one thing. Do you
think Gun is safe?"
Don't be silly-we're seldom
safe at this game. But don't start
worrying, Toni sweet. Gun a
take care of himself. Hasn't he
proved it, over and over again?
But now l must bolt-I have things
to do"
And as he made his way to the
front door, he was thinking to
himself:
Poor old Gun! 1t looks to me as
though he's up against it,"
Trent's patent torture of "elimi-
nation of amenities" as he called
it. was certainly an ingenious one.
Gun and Tommy had now been in
confinement for eleven days, and
there was little enough left to
them. Potatoes, meat and condi-
ments had gone, one by one, so
that they were reduced to a diet
of sbread, dry biscuits and water.
Milk, sugar, tea and coffee had
been withdrawn some time ago..
And the previous evening they had
found there was no light-the cleo
tricity had been cut off.

operations in state parks and other
public places.
Among the operations projected by
R. Clement, forester in charge of
planting and nurseries, are the follow
ing: State forest paintings by the
CCC, 3,776,00O seedlings. Paintings
by WPA workers, estimated to range
up to 100000 trees. Demonstration
plat paintings in Anoka county.
Roadside Identification paintings in
several counties.
Several projects are expected to
be well under way by May 3, which

ATTENTION TO FARM
CHEMURGY
(WinOna Republican-Herald

(Winona Republican-Heral
The movement to encourage farm
chemurgy, that is, to put chemistry
to work on farm products has re-
ceived much attention in recent years.
Among accomplishments already re-
corded are paper manufacture from
southern pine, development of plas-
tics from soy beans and milk, starch
from sweet potatoes, introduction of
tung tree for oil, use of soy bean oil
in paints, lumber substitutes from
sawdust, shavings and grain-f farming
by-products, development of alcohol
as motor fuel and development of
dyes from plants and minerals. There
is need for further research, especially
for use of soil-building crops. Re-
search may not give immediate re-
suits. Principles, however, may be
established, upon which later work
may result in new use of farm pro-
ducts.

A DRASTIC CURE
(St. Paul Pioneer Press)


Minnesota contractors and build
ing trades representatives have I'M
dertaken a campaign against WPA
appropriations for building projects
on the grounds that WPA funds would
produce more employment if spent
on contract jobs rather than for re-
lief labor
Their claims may have some merit
but until they can be proved it would
be most unwise to upset or destroy
an agency caring for half of the ma
TONS relief load.
The building trades have opposed
the WPA since rules included in
the 1939-40 appropriation prevented
the payment of union wages to build
ing trades WPA workers. In some
localities union mechanics have re-
fused WPA employment and in most
cities there is shortage of skilled
building workers on WPA rolls.
The complaint of the contractors
is a logical one. Although at first
the WPA undertook projects which
otherwise would not have been
launched in the community, more
recently it has been used to build
schools and undertake other construc-
ton projects some of which other
wise might be let by contract.
A situation which must not be
overlooked is that many of the build
ings now being erected by WPA
would not be undertaken if the local
community were called upon to
finance the entire cost. A new school
is built because all of the labor and
a part of the materials are furnished
to the local community free.

is regrettable that Representative c.

Iceland axes Over
Its Foreign Affairs

Since the German invasion of Dem
mark last week, there has been some
speculation as to the status of Ice
land in its political relationship with
the Danish kingdom. In a press re-
lease from the Danish Legation at
Washington D. c., dated April 10, the
following information is given:
"Since 1918 Iceland and Denmark
have been two free and independent
countries united by a common king
and by the agreement contained in the
Danish-Icelandic Union act of 1918.
According to one of the provis-
ions of this Union act Iceland has its
own foreign policy but this is car
ried out by the Danish Foreign Serv-
ice according to instructions given
the Danish Foreign office by the gov
eminent of Iceland.
due to the present situation when
all connections are cut off between
Denmark and Iceland it is impossible
to send bills, passed by the Icelandic
Parliament, to Denmark for the sig
iictoi VI A11S NAcaJCSlCy liiC Mig VI
to give instructions to the Danish
Foreign Service concerning the for
eign policy of Iceland.
Therefore, the Icelandic parlia-
ment has found it necessary to re-
solve that the executive power vested
in the King, according to the Ice
landic constitution, for the time being,
will be carried out by the Icelandic
cabinet. Besides, the entire charge
of the Icelandic Foreign Affairs has
been taken over by the government of
Iceland for the time being.
''The international status and the
friendly relations between Denmark
and Iceland have been affected in
no way whatsoever by the necessary
steps taken by the Icelandic parlia-
ment. Reports that the fundamental
relations between the two kingdoms
have been changed are without
foundation and can only be due to
misunderstanding of the actual rela-
tionship between the two countries"

Danger.
This fact leads up to the danger
to which Denmark is likely to be-
come exposed in case the British and
the French succeed in driving the
Germans out of Norway. In that
case they will, no doubt, make an
effort to chase the Germans out of
Denmark, as well, and thus, the
prospect of Denmark becoming an
additional European battlefield is not
so very remote.
Quite a few cablegrams came from
Copenhagen describing life under the
German occupation. According to
all of them, conditions are quiet, the
German soldiers unobtrusive, very
little friction noticeable between the
citizens and the invaders, and daily
life and commerce just about as
usual.
However, it must be remembered
that every communication of every
kind coming from Denmark just now
passes through the very careful hands
of the German censorI
Not so Bright.
Things evidently are not quite as
rosy as they are being painted, for
there is evidence that heavy restric-
tionS on foodstuffs have been i'm
posed by the Germans; the right of
assembly has been suspended; only
certain limited amounts may be with
drawn from ones banking account;
the Danish army has been demobil-
lzed-that is, all the soldiers sent
home, for there is now no use for
them. Theaters and restaurants are
forced to close during evening hours
as blackouts have become a feature
of life every single evening, and the
newspaper press is completely con-
trolled by Hitler's censors. That's
the other side of the idyllic picture!

USED GOOD JUDGMENT

Editor Askov American:
In order for a fight to be a fair
fight both contestants should have
fair show. A man who runs away
from Joe Louis or refuses to fight
man who has pistol pointed at
his head is not necessarily coward.
Denmark, in not resisting the Ger
man army, used good judgment. I
presume this decision was more or
less that of Thorvald Staining, prime
minister of Denmark. If the Danes
had listened to the English and their
promise of help, their country would
have been torn to pieces and hum
dredS of thousands of helpless people
killed with the final result the same.
Without some use of the natural in
telligence with which people are
supposed to be born, mere existence
nowadays seems to be impossible.
The Danes can very well get along
without England and anything it
stands for; they must live alongside
of Germany-nothing can change
that
1t would seem that if there is
ever to be any peace in Europe, peo-
pie must realize that whether they
like it or not-they have to get the
idea into their heads-that they have
to get along with their neighbors.
England, of course, will promise that
she can regulate things from Lon
don and of course she wants to be
the center of interest. This can only
mean one war after another.
The present economic situation in
Europe is insanity. One nation has
coal, another gasoline, still others
iron, timber and other commodities
necessary to modern life. England,
by manipulating this, can shut the
supply of these necessities off. The
large countries of course, if they
cannot get these things peacefully,
will take them by force. Hence the
everlasting wars.

GOVERNOR WINS UNUSUAL
HONOR
Park Region Echo)


Governor Harold Stassen received
a remarkable honor for a man of his
age in being named as temporary
chairman to deliver the keynote adj
dress of the Republican national con-
vention at Philadelphia this year.
Never before has a man so young
been given this important position,
but the situation this year was made
to order for the Minnesota governor
The Republican appeal this year is to
be to voters in the corn-hog states
and to young voters. So Governor
Stassen's youth and his smashing vic
tory in 1888 over Governor Benson
made him the logical man to deliver
the keynote. There is another inn
portant angle, too. A keynoter at
other Republican conventions has
sometimes stampeded the delegates
to himself for the presidential NOM
ination, but because of his youth
Governor Stassen cannot be elected
president and Dewey, Taft, Vanden-
berg and the rest of the presidential
candidates didn't want to take a
chance on the keynoter running away
with the convention, so they ap-
proved of Stassen.
1t should not be overlooked that
the Republican national committee is
very anxious to carry Minnesota this
year. According to the Gallup poll,
it still leans Democratic, and giving
Stassen this national publicity is sup
posed to help him carry Minnesota
for governor and carry the state Re-
publican all along the line.
But by making the Republican key
note speech, Governor Stassen may
lose many thousands of the votes in
Minnesota he had two years ago.
