since the time of William the Con-
queror have been crowned, except
Edward V and Edward VIII, the
former having been murdered upon
his accession at the age of Is, and
the latter having abdicated, neither
being crowned. During the recent
bombardment a portion of the roof
over the spot where the present king
and Queen were crowned was
smashed in.
The House of Commons met for
300 years in the chapter house of the
Abbey. During the centuries fires
and demolitions destroyed several of
the earlier portions of Westminster,
and newer ones have been erected.
Thirteen kings are buried in the Alb
hey, which also holds the bodies of
many of England's greatest men. In
the Poets Corner lie Chaucer, Spen-
ser, Dryden, Gray, Browning and
Tennyson. Britain's Unknown War
rior is also buried here in soil brought
from France.
In the same raid in which West
minister Abbey was damaged, por-
tons of the Parliament building, the
British Museum and other prominent
structures were bombed, and the
famous clock, Big Ben, was tenn
porarily silenced.

MORE CHARITY

GAS time marches on we all come,
sooner or later, to that period in life,
when adventure and ambition, pas
sion and strife, planning and castle
building, all give away to a serene
acceptance of life as it is" writes
James R. Landy in the last issue of
his Olivia Times. Editor Landy, who
sold the Times to be consolidated with
the Renville County Journal, after
publishing it for Al years, winds up
his work by writing these beautiful
lines:
A little more tired at close of day,
A little less anxious to have our way,
A little less ready to scold and blame,
A little more care for a brothers
name,
And so, we are nearing the journeys
end,
Where time and eternity meet and
blend
A little less care for bonds and gold,
A little more zest in the days of old,
A broader view and a saner mind,
And a little more love for all man.
kind,
And so, we are faring adown the way
That leads to the gates of better day.
A little more love for the friends of
youth,
A little less zeal for established truth,
A little more charity in our views,
A little less thirst for the daily news,
And so, we are folding our tents away,
And passing in silence, at close of day.
A little more leisure to sit and dream,
A little more real the things unseen,
A little nearer to those ahead,
With visions of those long-loved and
dead,
And so, we are going where all must
60,
To the place the living may never
know.
A little more laughter, a few more
tears,
And we shall have told our increasing
years;
The book is closed, and the prayers
are said,
And we are a Fart of the countless
dead,
Thrice happy, if then some soul can
say,
81 live, because he has passed my
way"

veals all the facts. In that uprising,
100000 intellectuals were executed,
most of them summarily, without a
hearing.
A diabolical hatred of Christ and of
all things Christian inflamed these
Bolshevists as they marched along
their fiery way. Their slogans were
Religion is the opium of the peo-
ple", Down with love of ones neigh
bor", eve want hate, christian
love is an obstacle to development"
In keeping with these principles, Rus
sian churches were destroyed, her
priests, 10000 of them, disappeared
tortured, butchered, crucified or sent
to Siberia.
Their standard of morality of
what is right or wrong has been
stated by Lunacharsky, whatever
helps the communistic cause is good,
what hinders it is bad" Acting on
this principle, as late as 1888, accord
ing to Eugene Lyons in his assign
ment in Utopia" she starved between
three and four million of her own
people in the Ukraine by taking the
wheat needed for her own people and
selling it to Italy and Germany to
buy American tractors.
Mr.. Rasmussen asks in his article,
what wrong has Russia done to other
countries?" Is he unaware that they
tried their worldwide revolution in
Hungary under the bloody Bella Kun?
These inhuman monsters were routed,
after year, by Admiral Hartky aft
er thousands of humans had been but
chered.
They tried their program in Spain
and were defeated by France, after
nearly all Christian churches were
destroyed and 1900 priests and AGO.
900 non-combatants were slaughtered.
They filtered into France and
brought about the lamentable COL
lapse of that country. I quote from
Arnold Lunn's Science of Revolu-
ton. Russia cannot plead for as
sistance on the grounds that she is
victim of aggression-Russia is the
worlds greatest aggressor. 1t was
Russia's pact with Germany that
gave the go-ahead sign for Germany
to invade Poland. It was Russia
who invaded Finland. Even before
the present war, Russia engaged
in aggression IL times in the past
two decades; besides, Russia has en-
deavored to provoke civil wars in all
nations of the world. In keeping
with her standards of morality, she
has double crossed every nation who
trusted her"
She double crossed us. When Mr..
Roosevelt recognized her, the ex-con-
vict, Litvinoff, promised that Russia
would cease sending money into this
country for propaganda purposes. The
money for propaganda has not ceased
coming. A year later Roosevelt pro-
tested in strong notes to Russia.
These notes were ignored.
If there be degree of evil in the
two systems, the greater lies in COM
munism. On what honest or moral
principle can we, of the United States
assist the one against the other?

NO BLESSING OF WAR
(St. Cloud NeWs)

Over 1000 Protestant ministers re-
Gently lead the parade as being not
in sympathy with war aims of GER
tain groups who are bending every
effort to get this country into war
and have our sons buried on Eur
opean battlefelds. Rev. A. J. Music,
secretary of the Fellowship of Recon-
Citation made the following state
ment:
GAS Christian see no possibility
of reconciliation between the central
teaching of Jesus and the necessary
operations of war;"
GAS loyal citizen, devoted to the
cause of liberty and democracy, I
am unalterably opposed to the present
threatened belligerency of this coun-
try.
Both as citizen and a Christian,
therefore, must in loyalty to con-
science affirm my pledge not to use
my ministry to bless, sanction or
support war;"
This is another statement that was
not published by the daily press.
When Bishop Hurley clamours for
mass murder, of course, then it's a
different story. Unfortunately both
Bishop Hurley and the daily editors
are too old to get in the firing line.

a fierce violence,-a violence all the
more terrific because of the Viking
blood that flows in my veins. But
do not want America to 60 to war
to free Denmark. do not want the
blood of American boys to be shed
all over Europe for the sake of any
conquered country. What kind of
an American would be then? Those
who desire to fight for countries
overseas can easily and speedily en-
list in Canada and 60 over.
America is democracy, the great
est on earth, and she will serve Eng
land and all the invaded countries
best by remaining so. If she enters
the war she will automatically be-
come dictator country and our de-
mocracy may then be gone forever.
These are things to think of, Mrs.
James.
Of course those of us who used
our reasoning powers and our loyal
ty together didn't want the lend-lease
bill passed because it was an I'M
American bill. 1t was a dictator
bill and since we believe in the
constitution of the United States we
didn't want to see powers which
rightfully belong to Congress given
to one man. We knew the lend-lease
bill was not lend-lease bill at all
but a road to lead us into an I'M
declared war. We had seen the
President give away so destroyers
to Britain without asking the per-
mission of Congress or any one else
and we knew he could continue to
give aid to Britain without any added
powers. We knew the lend-lease
caption was just a fake to pull the
wool over our eyes, events have
already proven us to have been 100
per cent correct in our thinking
Neither you nor anyone else can
deny it now.
No, Mrs. James, we loyal Americans
of Scandinavian descent aren't self
ish or stupid or disinterested. We
are Americans-real honest-tO-good-
ness Americans-and we still con-
tinue to think of America first, no
matter how much any foreigner, for
that is what one with divided al
legiance really is, may want to pull
us along the same alley with them.
We are Americans, not Europeans.
We hoist the American flag upper
most not under-most.

USELESS INTERVENTION
(Grand Rapids Herald-Review)

Now the war picture is changed.
If the United States gets into the
battle its boys will fight in the
trenches or in the air with the Rus
SLAMS. Some little time ago we said
that the Russians should never be
saved and we are driving the COM
munists out of the United States.
At the same time we must 60 out
and kill some Firms. Those were the
brave people that we were sending
money and help to some time back.
Also, we must kill some French
men. Some years ago we swore
everlasting help to France as a re-
public. We are now enemies.
On our own responsibility we have
been helping China with money and
munitions and at the same time we
have been giving the Japs the gaso-
line and steel to kill the Cinnamon.
There is but one safe and right
policy for America. Build up our
defenses and keep out of the war.
That policy appears as wiser each
day.

USUAL MILITARY TACTICS
(MankatO Free PreSS)

The Germans claim of the battle
of Crete is that it proved nothing
is impossible to the German soldier"
The Nazis classify themselves as SUI
per-men. This has been the principal
Nazi talking point almost ever since
Hitler's rise to power. One of Hit
ler's methods of attracting follow
ing has been to glorify the might of
the German man. The claims, of
course, are without foundation. There
never has been anything to prove
that the Germans are any tougher
or Drawer or stronger than other
people. If they do have any charac-
teristic peculiar to their nation it is
painstaking thoroughness. But as for
physical might, they have at least a
number of equals if not superiors.

PLENTY MONEY FOR TOWN.
SEND PLAN
Editor ASkov American:

Editor ASkOv American:
Join the Townsend club and help
push.
The Townsend plan will lower land,
personal and county taxes and Gre
ate employment. Come on, folks,
quit dragging your feet. With the
Townsend plan there is no lien law.
Show them that the LOW Income
group" can stick together. There's
money to send to England, why isn't
there money for the ones who built
this country. There is, and don't let
anyone tell you different.
The Townsend plan is a circula-
ton plan. Tie a string around your
finger, tight enough and leave it
there long enough. Your finger will
die. That's what caused the depres-
sion, no money in circulation. We
have as much money in this country
as ever, but it's in banks, lock boxes,
fruit jars, buried under rocks and
stumps. The Townsend plan will
bring it out into the open again. Be-
cause if these old folks know they
can get some more they will spend
what they have. They will know they
will be able to eat, buy clothes and
donate to their church and charity
without starving or freezing or 60
ing naked next month or next year.
If you think it can't be done, why
don't you put up some real argu-
ment instead of Just that "it can't
be done" Well, folks, I believe it
can be done, and 1, for one, intend
to do all in my power to make the
Townsend plan a law.
Of the people, by the people, for
the people.

Now and then we hear remarks
on this order: Germany must be
downed and kept down" Very bright,
enlightening and humanitarian! Hit
Ter is not an accident. There were
causes for his rising to power, but
his power will be temporary. Ameri-
cans want nothing of the Hitler
brand of government, and the Ger
man leaders are not bothering us,
but to wish that the German people
be downed and kept down is silly.
The population of Germany at the
time of the World war was about
7O,OOO,OOO. That is stable group
to keep down especially when they
are thrifty and frugal and have
demonstrated their abilities in the
industrial world, science, and music.
