INDICATED TOWNSEND
Editor ASkov American:


News reports from Washington
June 2, credit Stacy May, chief of
OPM's bureau of research and sta
tistics, as saying that the United
States must spend $4,000. 100000 a
year on arms production to insure de-
feat of the Axis powers. This is for
a program for total destruction.
Nevertheless, to date we have heard
of no university professor, economic
specialist or tax expert attacking this
program as being financially or eco
nomically impossible.
For several years DR.. F. E. Town
send has been advocating that Ameri-
ca invest approximately S6,0OO,000,-
900 annually in a scientific pay-as-
you-go constructive program of VOL
untary retirement pensions to all
citizens 60 years of age and older, so
that every American may enjoy hap
piness, security and national pros
perity; also to create a Christian
example of economic progress, peace
and abundance that all mankind
would eventually accept. However,
DR.. Townsend was promptly branded
a dangerous crackpot" by our wise
acres. They attacked his plan as be-
ing Enthusiastically unsound and i'm
possible; that it would cause COM

bankruptcy, etc.

REBUFFED
(ChaSka Herald)

The Young Republicans of New
Jersey, in convention assembled at
Atlantic City, thoroughly rebuffed
Wendell "Me-Too" Willkie and de-
feated a resolution which would have
commended him for his "splendidly
unselfish and patriotic attitude in
this national emergency" We haven't
seen any reference about this in the
metropolitan papers of this section
of the country, nor have we noted
that Governor Stassen, chief advisor
and associate of Willkie, and Joe
Ball, of the same coterie, appeared
to defend Mr.. Willkie and seek his
endorsement. At any rate the Young
Republican organization of New Jer-
sey wasn't afraid to come out in
meeting and in plain language tell
the country that as far as they are
concerned Mr.. Willkie is not the head
of the Republican party, even though
the manipulated Philadelphia conven-
ton, long since of sour memory,
conferred that honor upon him auto
matically.

AMERICAS TURN TO COME
Editor Askov American:

Editor Askov American:
We read, and there is said so much
about that we should keep out of
the war, but nothing is said about
what guarantee we have, or what
hope we can have that the Germans
will leave us out of it.
Not a single one of the nations
that Germany is making war on had
done any harm to the Germans. So
we can judge from that what we can
expect when our turn comes. They
take everything in their own way,
and thereby gain strength; and we
shall wait until they are powerful
enough to tackle us.
I am against war as much as any
one can be, but I have studied the
Germans wars; the first in Denmark
in 1864, and all the rest of them;
six in all, with the present war. All
of them were aggressive. From that
l have my opinion of the German ma
ton, and what we can expect from
it.
And I have followed what Hitler
has let out to the public One of
the first aims was that he would do
away with the English and American
gold-based capitalism. Then he took
us in, and he will make the whole
world happy. CD Hitler has told
us what he will do to the world, and
he is acting in conformity with it.
Now, therefore, I ask the people
who work so hard against laying
hindrances for the Germans plan,
what guarantee and hope can we
have that Hitler will leave us out
of his plan? They believe that it
will save us from war, but let Hitler
first get the rest of the world as he
is plainly aiming at, and what would
America be against such a power?
BY being good to Germany it can
be put off for some time, but in the
end they will be here the same as
in Russia. Hitler is bound to have
the Russian bread-basket and oil,
but can not pay for it so will take
everything there if he can. We have
something that he will be after.
It is bad to get into war, but if
Hitler is allowed to go ahead, and not

AVOID PERILS THAT ENDANGER
PEACE

This country seeks no conquest. We
have no imperial designs. From day
to day and year to year, we are
establishing more perfect assur-
ance of peace with our neighbors.
We rejoice especially in the pros
perity, the stability and the indie
pendence of all of the American re-
publics. We not only earnestly de-
sire peace, but we are moved by a
stern determination to avoid those
perils that will endanger our peace
with the world-President Roosevelt.

up a much sitter fight than anyone
with the sorry performance in Fin
land a year and half ago in mind
had expected.
Other Countries.
While the German high command
is busy preparing the hoped-for, but
by no means certain, triumphal way
to Moscow, German diplomats are
intriguing in order to obtain addition
al support. There can be only one
reason for that. and that must be
that such support is rather desperate
ly needed.
Sweden and Finland are being
gradually influenced; Italy has de-
clared war-but a Mussolini declara-
ton of that nature does not, judging
from past performances. mean very
great deal. Hungary has been swung
completely over to the German side
and is now fighting Russia. Spain
is not yet in the war, but when the
foreign minister of that country pub
licly declares that Russia has been
accused, Russia has been found gull
ty, Russia has been doomed to death,
Russia must be exterminated"-
one has some reason to believe that
very soon Spain officially and whole
heartedly will join Hitler.
When all such d pl ON a tic
manOeuvers have been completed,
there will be left in Europe only
two n u tr nations, Portugal
and Switzerland. Knowing nazi
methods. one need nOurish no
illusions as to the length of time
that these two nations will be
permitted to stay out of the war.
But what of Great Britain?
Giving Battle.
Well, the British are fighting in the
air as never before, and they are
bombarding German and German
held territory without letup, always
the initiative.
But there are in England voices
that demand even more agrees
sive action at this very moment
when Hitler has his hands full
on the new eastern front. There
are persons who think that now
if ever is the time to strike, and
that an actual British invasion of
the western part of the continent
would have a better chance Of
succeeding now than at any later
time.
In the United States a good deal
being heard, but you also hear the
statement that at the present time
there would be less justification for
the United States going to war than
at any previous time.
Middle East.
Somewhere between London and
Moscow the war is likely to be de-
cided, the way it looks now. But
other wars are in progress, notably
in Syria where Vichy-French still
are battling British and Gree
French, and where, it appears, Ger
many has not yet done anything.
Damascus has fallen to the British.
and Beirut may be about to collapse.
Should the British secure Syria, they
will have done something toward
blocking the way to the Suez canal.
But, otherwise, the big thing right
now is the Russo-German giant fight.
and of no smaller importance is the
British air attack on Ger
many. These are the two battles
which almost monopolize attention.

We learned through the World war

way of life, our free democratic in
situations, upon other nations. We
went into that war on the slogan to
make the world safe for democracy.

Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1941-07-03

Even today, we still have many
Americans who are natives of foreign
countries, naturalized citizens who
are good Americans, and we have
descendants from Great Britain, Ger
many, Finland, the Scandinavian
countries, Poland, Czechoslovakia,
France, Italy and many other
countries. 1t is natural and proper
that there be friendly feelings and
sympathy toward the homelands of
our forebears, whatever country we
may have come from, so long as
America is not at war with any of
those countries. But, today, we are
Americans-we came to these shores
of our own volition. We, or our an
cestors, came here because we wanted
to work, build homes, and rear our
families in a country that is not
everlastingly at war with other ma
tons. We came here because we
love the freedoms that America has
given us. Let us, as Americans, keep
America free!

Let me give you another illustra-
ton of what war propaganda and
hysteria can do to people. The elder
LaFollette made a speech in the
United States Senate in which he
embodied an Associated Press dis
patch of October /, 1917, from Hous-
ton, Texas, as follows:
Judge Waller T. Burns of the
United States District Court in charg-
ing a Federal Grand Jury at the
beginning of the October term today
after calling by name Senator Stone
of Missouri, Hardwich of Georgia,
Vardaman of Mississippi, Gronna of
North Dakota, Gore of Oklahoma and
LaFollette of Wisconsin, said: If I
had wish l would wish that you men
had jurisdiction to return bills of
indictment against these men. They
ought to be tried promptly and fairly,
and l believe this court could ad-
minister the law fairly, but I have
a conviction, as strong as life, that
this country should stand them up
against an adobe wall tomorrow and
give them what they deserve. If any
man deserves death, it is traitor.
l wish that could pay for the ammu
milton. I would like to attend the
execution and if I were in the firing
squad l would not want to be the

Members of the American Legion
and other service organizations who
were in the World war know some
thing about war from first-hand
knowledge. They know the suffering
and the agony that men must go
through in the hell of battle. They
have seen thousands of comrades
killed outright and thousands of
others manned for life. They appreci-
ate more than any other class of our
citizens the suffering that is still
being endured by these men who
served in the last war and who are
now filling all the beds in the 80
government hospitals that were built
to take care of the wounded.
I am firmly of the opinion from
conversations with many men who
served in 1917 that all of them want
America to be adequately prepared
to defend herself. l am equally con-
WINGED that the veterans of our pre-
viouS wars would be willing and
eager to defend America against at
tack. But I am just as convinced
that the overwhelming majority of
veterans of the last war are opposed
to another expeditionary force being
sent to foreign country to help settle
any quarrel that is going on in the old
world. On this independence Day it

liberties which have been handed
down to us in America by those who
came before us.
The preservation of these personal
liberties is absolutely essential to the
working of the democratic process in
America. Without free speech, free
press, free religion and the right of
free assembly, democracy can not
work. In these days of complicated
issues confronting our people it is
only by argument and counter argu-
ment, and fact and counter fact, that
our people become informed, that
the popular opinion slowly crystal
Lies, and ultimately makes it's effect
in governmental action.
Should America ever 60 to war
again even our civil liberties are in
jeopardy. War brings a rising tide
OF intolerance. 1t prompts neighbor
to suspect neighbor and friend to
suspect friend. Under the guise of
war necessity, the civil liberties are
curtailed, restricted, and all too often
ultimately destroyed by war. If we
would guard democracy in America
we must guard our fundamental
civil liberties which are, and always
will be, the very life-blood of our
democratic process.
In these days of turmoil, excite
ment, and emotion, let us re-affirm
