FORESEES Big
TOURIST Year

Minnesotas resort operators are
optimistic about the prospects for
1941, the state tourist bureau states
reports made to it indicate.
Informed of what the state at large
was expecting, Ray Hoefler, secretary
of the Ely Commercial club, said that
insofar as this territory was concerned
he could see reason for expecting a
good year, unless the nation goes to
war.
In the event of war, then the tour
ist trade would undoubtedly suffer, he
said.
Throughout the winter the club re-
ceiVed several inquiries weekly asking
for information, he stated.
Principal basis for optimism, the
tourist bureau states, is the increase
in inquiries, as well as more evidence
that people of the state are becoming
more tourist minded.

AID TO BRITAIN
is VITAL QUESTION

The growing bitterness Of the con-
troversy over the extent and method
of our aid to Britain is alarming.
These are vital questions which should
be decided on the basis Of realistic
examination of all the facts and not
in the heated, emotional atmosphere
engendered by name-calling.
War mongers" is one, of the kinder
terms used by the iSolationiSts In
referring to those of us who believe
aid to Britain is vital to our own de-
Tense. A senator on the other side went
lust as far afield the other day when
ne referred to the iSolationlStS as
traitors. Even President Roosevelt in
his address a week ago Sunday referred
to those opposing further aid to Brit
ain as unwilling tools of the Nazis. I
thought that was an unfortunate re-
mark in what otherwise was a power
full and courageous address.
know from my own mail that many
sincere persons in Minnesota are still
unconvinced of the logic of aid TO
Britain in the interests of our own de-
Tense. The President could convince
many of them by giving them the facts
on our military situation and defense
production and I would like to see if
you begin by calling him either a fool
or a traitor.
There are two grave dangers in this
growing bitterness. One is that 1t
greatly impairs the national unity we
need so badly for our defense effort.
The other is that it breeds the kind of
minimizing hysteria which in the first
Void war resulted in disgraceful per-
secution of many patriotic Americans
merely because they happened to be OF
German descent. None Of us wants a
REPETITION of that sort of thing, and
urge most earnestly that all of us
maintain on this issue that tolerance
of an opposing viewpoint which is fun
damental to our democracy.
There is a general feeling here in
Washington that President Roosevelt
in his speech of the 10Th, was talking
as much to Europe and Asia as to the
United States. He was telling the
Axis powers and Japan, in effect, that
we are not bluffing and will not be
bluffed by them.
Three statements in the Presidents
address are regarded here as especially
significant in relation to our own de-
Tense production effort. One was his
warning that government expects en-
ployers and employees to adjust theil
differences without stopping produc-
ton. Reports here are that Mr.. Roose-
welt meant every word of that para
graph and is prepared to act if his
warning is not needed.
A second paragraph was the one ii
which he told industries that fears o.
the effect of excess production capacity
after the emergency cannot be per-
mitted to block building of new plant:
where needed to remove bottlenecks

Years ago Ebert Hubbard deplored
the tendency of some to rail against
their employer and his business in the
following:
IF you work for man. in heavens
name work for him. If he pays you
wages that supply you your bread and
butter, work for him, speak well OF
him, think well of him, and stand by
the institution he represents.
$50 long as you are part OF an
institution, do not condemn it. When
you disparage the concern of which
you are a part, you diSparage yourself. y
The same holds good today where
some people, we could name, are ever
laStingly panning the firm that fur
nishes them with employment at good
wages, especially if they are employed
by a corporation. Our advice to those
so minded has been, and is yet, to
quit taking wages from a man they
don't like and get job with a man
or firm who comes up to their ideals
of the perfect employer. This is ar
impossibility as there are people who
believe that every man who has a
dollar, earned and saved by hard work
and good management, stole the dollar
from those who do the carping against
employers in general and their own in
particular. Ebert Hubbard knew what
he was talking about.

With all the hulabaloo that has gone
the rounds over the old age lien law
and the many suggestions made as to
its revamping to give Sundry heirs
chance after the old folks have passed
on, we are still of the opinion that
the law is a just one. 1t may seem
harsh in the eyes of some who hustled
to get the money no matter how they
got it, but the fact still remains that
some of the kids" should do some
thing about the old folks and that the
Fourth Commandment should be put
back on the tablet where it occupied
an enviable spot up to a few years
back. If the law needs amending, the
legislature is there to see that it is
done. After passing the measure two
years ago, many of those who voted
for it are now mad at Governor Stas-
sen because he signed the document
as passed. The governor is now damned
because he did and would also have
been damned if he didn't. 1t does
not make sense.

A third paragraph which found much

army and navy strategists the bosses,

PROTECTS DEFENSES

Designed TO protect the present
defense establishment against ex-
cess depletion, the provision would
require that all aid TO Britain or
other nations made in excess of
the $1,000 100000 limitation should
be given out of future appropria-
tons by Congress.
Thus the control that Congress
will retain over the aid program
will be in the direct ratio that it
controls future appropriations.
Should the Bloom revision not
be adopted-leaving the provision
adopted yesterday in the bill
then the only difference would be
as to the size of the limitation on
transfers from the present defense
establishment. the limitation being
somewhere between $500 DOC. 600
and 81 100000 900. depending what
10 per cent will amount TO on the
total defense appropriations up 10
June 30 OF this year.
Despite the confusion caused by
the limitation, and although faced
with a flood of proposed amend
ments, leaders were confident they
would pass the bill before the
House adjourns tonight.

LIMITED TRANSFER

AS approved yesterday, the OBJ
jectionable amendments compli-
Gated one-would have forbidden
the President to transfer from the
existing defense establishment
equipment having a value greater
than 10 per cent of the 1941
appropriations for defense.
At the time of its adoption, adj
ministration leaders, who spon-
sored it. believe that the limita-
ton would allow transfers up to
81 300, 000,0 900, but this morning
they discovered that it might not
amount TO more than S500,000. 900
"a figure unsatisfactory to Mr..
Roosevelt.
The revision unsuccessfully
sought by Bloom would eliminate
the complicated 10 per cent for
mula and simply substitute the fiat
figure of 1,300,000000. Bloom
planned TO make another attempt
to get the revision into the bill
later today.
Should il be adopted, it would
mean that the President would be
barred-at any time in the future
from transferring existing de-
Tense materials, or materials now
on order, to Britain over and
above the $1,000, 100000 limitation.
