MOOSE?
Animal on Stuart Lake
is Zup's Horse.

A moose and horse do not look
alike to most people, but not so with
two q. S. forest service employees here
Flying over Stuart lake in the Forest
Service seaplane, Pilot Merle Moltrul
spotted an animal below in a swamp.
Look at the moose" Moltrop said to
Larry Anselment, forest service clerk,
seated beside the pilot. Moltrup circled
the area with the ship cutting its
altitude to get a better view. Then
the moose" was identified as a horse,
as the switching Of the animals tail
became visible.
Belonging to william Zupancich, the
horse some time ago had run away
from the Curtain Falls Fishing camp
operated by Zupancich-
Until found by Moltrup and Ansel-
ment, the horse could not be located
by Zupancich after the animal had
taken to the woods.
According to men who have had
experience with such situations, Mol
trup says, the horse viii probably be
just as wild as a moose, and cannot be
caught until winter weather covers up
its food supply. Then it VIII come
TO anyone offering it something TO eat.

The Indians over in the Cloquet dis
trict told Governor Stassen Saturday
that they should have equality with
the white men and cited as "discrim-
mating and hunliliating" the govern
ment's orders prohibiting liquor dealers
from selling beer TO Indians. Another
objection they made was that white
men were harvesting the wild rice
crop before It is ripe and before the
Chippewas can get ready TO harvest
the rice necessary for their mainten-
ance. The governor pledged personal
attention TO the matters governed by
the state and said he would write to
Washington on issues of Federal juris-
diction.
The Indian has something IN the
rice matter as the commerciali0ed
harvest by the white companies de-
priyes him Of food for himself and
family. Paradoxical as it may seem,
the granting Of the beer privilege would
do the same for the Indian and his
family in the eyes Of many acquainted
with the Chippewa and his mode Of
life.

He warned, too, against fifth
columnists." The first phase of
invasion of this hemisphere, he con-
tinued, would not be landing of
troops. Strategic points would be
occupied by secret agents and their
dupes-"and great numbers of them
are already here, and in Latin
America
All domestic problems, the PreSi-
dent asserted, have become a part
of the great emergency now con-
fronting the Nation. 1t is a huge
task, he said, to change a whole
nation from a basis of peace-tlme
production of implements of peace
to a wartime basis for the produc-
ton of implements of war.
AS in his recent radio address to
the Nation, the President again de-
clared that the most useful and I'M
mediate" role is to act as an arsenal
for the democracies as we'll as for
America.
The President devoted a part of
his address to the need of main
tanning social gains-war or no war.
He gave his formula for strong
democracy, which included equal
opportunity for youth and others,
Jobs for all who can work, security
for those who need it, ending OF
special privilege for the few, pres
ervation of civil liberties for all and
the enjoyment of scientific prog

He recommended that more per-

taxes. In my budget message I
recommend that a greater por-
ton of this great defense pro-
gram be paid for from taxation
than we are paying today. No
person should try. or be allowed,
to get rich out of this program;
and the principle of tax pay
ments in accordance with ability
to pay should be constantly before
our eyes to guide our legisla-
ton.
If the Congress maintains
these principles, the voters, put
ting patriotism ahead of pocket
books, will give you their
applause.
In the future days, which we
seek to make secure, we look for
ward to a world founded upon
four essential human freedoms.
The first is freedom of speech
and expression-everywhere in
the world.
The second is freedom of every
person to worship God in his
own way-everywhere in the
world.
The third is freedom from
want which, translated into
world terms, means economic un-
derstandings which will secure
to every nation healthy peace
time life for its Inhabitants
everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from
fear-Which, translated into world
terms, means a world wide re-
duction of armaments to such a
point and in such a thorough
fashion that no nation will be in
a position to commit an act of
physical aggression against any
neighbor-anyWhere in the world.
Definite Basis for Order
In This Generation.
That is no vision of distant
millennium. 1t is a definite basis
for kind of world attainable in
our own time and generation.
That kind of world is the very
antithesis of the so-called new
order of tyranny which the die
tators seek to create with the
crash of a bomb.
To that new order We oppose
the greater conception - the
moral order. A good society is
able to face schemes of world
domination and foreign revolu-
tions alike without fear.
Since the beginning of our
American history we have been
engaged in Change-in per-
petual peaceful revolution "a
revolution which goes on steadily,
quietly adjusting itself to chang
ing conditions-without the con-
centration camp or the quick
lime in the ditch. The world
order which we seek is the CO.
operation of free countries. work.
ing together in friendly,
civilized society.
This Nation has placed its des-
tiny in the hands and heads and
hearts of its millions of free men
and women; and its faith in free
dom under the guidance of God.
Freedom means the supremacy of
human rights everywhere. Our
support goes to those who strug-
gle to gain those rights or keep
them. Our strength is in our
unity of purpose.
To that high concept there can
be no end save victory.
