Portugal es un pals tiranizado

playing petty politics. AS yet, Mr..
Petersen has not started political
campaign of any kind. But I have
received some political campaign lit
erature from Senator Ball.
Now, Mr.. Lungren, who is playing
petty politics? Mr.. Ball of course.
He started a political campaign on
the very day that the United States
declared war on the Axis powers.
If we had more men like Hjalmar
Petersen in Washington, the United
States would not have been attacked
by Japan.
Any person that accuses Mr.. Peter
sen of playing petty politics is either
misinformed or does not want to tell
the truth.
It is not necessary for Hjalmar
Petersen to launch a political cam
paign at this time. The people of
Minnesota will send Mr.. Petersen
to Washington any time he chooses
on the strength of his excellent rec
ord as a public servant. When the
time comes, hope Mr.. Petersen will
let the people of Minnesota send him
there.

A MATTER OF PROPORTIONS

Editor Askov American:
There still seem to be some who
cannot understand the necessity for
higher price level. These people
always maintain that as farm prices
and the prices of other necessary
commodities go up, it will be neces-
sary to raise the wage level and con-
sequently the things the farmers have
to buy. This is all true, but as usual
they fail to grasp the whole picture.
AS the Indebtedness increases the
fixed charges of interest and taxes
increase and as long as the indebted
ness is increased the general price
level of both wages and commodities
must keep pace. It is a simple little
problem in eighth grade arithmetic
and anybody who understands pro-
portions should be able to understand
as one item is increased all will have
to be, or there will not be true
proportion.
Of course economics are not as
simple as all that, but the main
thing is to base everything equitably.
The trouble with our master-minds is
that they often miss one item. Their
argument is perfectly sound except
for one little item, which in fact
makes them all wrong.
A motto in one regular army di-
vision in which I served was: "Be
simple, direct and thorough" Now,
most master-minds would snicker at
such simple little motto. They
would try to tell you that that was
too simplified and out of date. That
people who followed such a little
simple rule had never any higher
education. People who have sold
themselves as knowing all about a
subject, often have smattering of
knowledge out of balance with the
whole. That is why many people
cannot understand the necessity for
gradual higher price level.

HELP THE RED CROSS

Editor ASkov American:
am making an appeal for "patri-
otism in action.
An American public, sobered by the
onslaught of bloody warfare, has
been asked to contribute to the
American Red Cross $50,0O0,000 war
relief fund. Pine county's quota was
set at S3,400 and Askov's share is
S250OO.
Pledges of support for the drive
were given to National Chairman
Norman H. Davis by many of the
country's great organizations. The
Federal Council of Churches, the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, The American Legion, The
American Legion Auxiliary, the Cen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs
the Boy Scouts of America, and
many others have sent messages
promising active support.
The officers of the local Red Cross
unit have decided upon the follow
ing plan for collecting money: Red
Cross containers have been placed in
many of the business places for your
donations. Each week the list OF
donations will be published.
We are contracting the various or
CARNATIONS in our community and
asking their immediate aid in rails
ing this money. 1t is hoped that the
response will be so generous that
there will be no need of a house-to-
house canvas.
Each one of us can contribute
something. Let the children help
too. There are many ways we can
increase our donations. Can't you
have an evening at cards and charge
something and turn in this money to
the Red Cross? Can't you have :
skating party with an oyster stew
or a "bean feed", a Red Cross tea
or a Sunday night supper? COULDN'T
your organization put on dance, q
card party, bunco party, an auc-
ton, or an entertainment of some
kind?
Last Sunday I invited a few friends
in to supper and asked if they would
be willing to pay Csc each. Through
their generosity, counted at the
close of the evening, $5.12 to donate
to the Red Cross.
The other towns in Pine county still
talk about the fine work Askov die
in Red Cross work during the First
World war. 1t would seem that we
have reputation to maintain. Two
hundred and fifty dollars may seem
like lot of money to raise in short
time but we can do it.
Ten splendid young men from oul
community have gone into the serv-
ice to protect our homes, our lives
and our democratic way of living
Can we do less than give generously!

Chairman of the Askov Unit,

CHURCHILL
(The Faribault Journal)

Lie I d1 lDdu1L JUL
Did you hear Winston Churchill
in his broadcast from Canada Tues
day afternoon?
There's a man to our liking!
No, we do not believe in all that
he says or believes in.
We admire him for what he is,
namely, a fighter.
He's a man well into his sixties
When he took over in England, Hit
Ter could have invaded England and
met hardly any opposition; nearly
all of the English army's equipment
was lost in France. Many men would
have given up then and there, but
not Churchill.
No matter what mistakes he has
made, history should, and it prob
ably will, record him as the man who
saved England and he did all of that
by sheer nerve and courage.
So hats off to Mr.. Churchill for the
man that he isl The world would
be much better off if all of us were
of the same type of never say quit
breed that is his.

general exhaustion or through ne
gotiation. A smashing victory after
ruthless war usually leads to a
ruthless and temporary peace. A
stalemate through general exhaustion
is likely to end in renewed warfare
when the exhaustion is over. But a
negotiated peace-"peace without vic
tory" to use President Wilson's fam
Gus phrase-stands the best chance
of enduring, if only because it has
not been imposed on sullen foe.
If the period of darkness now settling
upon the world can be shortened by
even a single day it will be worth the
effort. Peace-loving men and wom-
en- of all faiths must accept now the
responsibility of keeping the light
of hope and goodwill burning con-
tinuously in their communities.

ers engaged in dairy, poultry and
meat production will be- given a
preferred status where it can be
shown that they are needed in such
production. Many of the key in
dustries remain to be defined. Third
and fourth-year medical students and
first-year interns will be deferred.
They should obtain reserve COM
missions in the Army or Navy so as
to be permitted to complete their
medical training, including one year
of internship, before being ordered to
active duty. Service men who have
been released from duty will be re-
classified with view to determining
whether or not they should be called
back to active service.
1t would seem that the regulations
issued for the guidance of draft
boards should be made more compre-
hensive in order to relieve the local
boards of needless embarrassment
This will probably be done at later

the bad and the good show up fol-
what they are.
If there are factors in our Ameri-
can situation, tending to weaken us
in the conflict with external ene-
mics, the good citizens will try to cor
rect them instead of taking refuge in
a tin-pan-alley patriotism. We can
hardly expect favor in the fortunes
of war if our country does not pos
sess citizens brave enough to speak
out against corruption, incompetence
overreaching.
The Republican Register is pleased
that it has counseled against "meas-
ures short of war" in the past. Now
that these measures have involved
us, we feel that there is more need
for an American nationalist attitude
than before. We propose to continue
being patriotic in the hard way.
In city and state, machine politics
must give way to careful, high-grade
administration. Gangsterism should
be out for the duration.
Surely there is serious work to do
now! Those of us who have been
sober so to speak, can appreciate that
war is a business for sober men-for
men who have faith and patriotism
in them-and we have duty to i'm
press on others the need of SOLDERING
up from long period of machine
politics and moral let down. 1t is
important that we should deserve
the favor of Providence!

SHOULD AID DEFENSE EFFORT

Editor Askov American:
The following quotation from the
Christian Science Monitor gives food
for both thought and action:
"Foreseeing the time, doubtless
when it shall be called upon by pub
lie opinion and the authorities to cur
tail operations in the interests of ma
tional defense, one of its powerful
groups is calling upon the whisky
distillery industry to centralize OF
pool its resources as far as possible
to adopt standardized methods and
equipment, and otherwise release
plants and materials for the defense
effort.
''In a time of national emergency
when every effort should be ben,
toward aiding the armed forces OF
democracy, such non-essential ac-
tivities as whisky distilling have little
excuse for operating.
"They consume grain which would
be going into various types of alco-
hol for munitions and necessary COM
mercial solvents.
Cork, in which a severe shortage
exists, is used in enormous quantities
by the liquor manufacturers, while
manufacturers of motors, cartridges
bombs and various machine tools are
in dire need of it.
Defense demands on transporta-
ton are growing daily, hourly. Car
railroads and truck lines continue tc
devote urgently needed space to case:
and barrels of whisky, and the ma
terials which 60 into its manufac-
ture and that of containers?
"And in the last analysis, since
everything which takes money away
from defense weakens defense, car
the expenditure Of funds for whisky
and whisky-making be tolerated in 6
day of national crisis?"

SIGNALS MIXED
Editor ASkov American:

Editor ASkov American:
In the December ID, 194l, issue of
the Askov American, there appeared
an excellent article by Hjalmar Pc
tersen. I wish to quote part Of
Mr.. Petersen's article. "When at
tackled it is the duty of our repre-
sentatives to provide for the safety
of the people"
What has Senator Ball done to pro-
vide for the safety of the American
people?
On the very day that the United
States declared war on the Axis
powers, Mr.. Ball took the opportuni-
ty to launch a political campaign.
Senator Ball has wanted war since
Governor Stassen blessed him with
an appointment to the United States
Senate.
In the st. Paul Dispatch of De-
cember II, 1941, there appeared an
editorial entitled "No Time for Poll
tics". / quote part of that edi-
torial. Members of Congress no
doubt feel that there's no great harm
in playing just little politics, when
their own reelection means so much
to themselves. But they will dis
cover their error. This is no time
for political grandstanding. National
safety comes ahead of the desire for
any congressman or senator to get
his job at Washington back by play
ing what he thinks at this moment
will be good politics"
Evidently the st. Paul Dispatch
and Senator Ball got their signals
mixed. Yes, Mr.. Ball will discover
his error. This is no time for po-
litical grandstanding and Joe Bal
will find that out next year.
In the Readers" column of the
st. Paul Dispatch of December IT.
Mr.. w. r. Lundgren of Minneapolis
took Hjalmar Petersen to task foI
