that Evie Robert, who never
wears q hat II she can possibly
avoid 1t, found herself confronted
with having to attend large
church wedding recently. She
bought the hat-at quite . price
from one Of New York's out
standing milliners, and wore 1t,
looking smart as paint, to the
wedding. As she left the church,
however, the true Evie asserted
herself-she pulled of the DASH

tossed the hat through the win
dow at her, calling: You take it,
Lelia-it's more than can
stand!" So now Mrs. Pettingill
wears it, with great success and
enjoyment!
Nine. Prochnik, wife Of the
former Austrian Minister, looks
much too young to be a grand
mother. The other afternoon
she dropped In for tea with
friends after having taken her
small grandson for his Sunday
dip in the pool at Chevy Chase.
She wore a stunning crepe frock
of navy blue and white, with red
and blue pumps. We didn't ask,
but, as Gretchen sews like q
streak, we suspect she made the
snappy dress herself.
Blond and beautiful Mrs. Cor
coran Thorn Is another Of those
well groomed Washingtonians
who realizes the importance Of
tying together an ensemble.
One Of her smartest and most
effective costumes is a simple
black dress with side lacing Of
fuchsia, worn with an exactly
matching fuchsia hat. {. The
touch of bright color with black
is really high STYLE" Also
the object of much interest by
feminine observers is the smart
suit OF tailored red gadardine
worn by Mrs. Howard Railey.
o.. Muted red and white in a
soft print is in that good looking
dress you've noted Mrs. Harold
Butler wearing, too.
Certainly worthy Of mention
in fashion reports is the lovely,
dark-haired Bagwait Bajpi who
appeared the other afternoon in
yellow sari that had an almost
iridescent quality. Her pretty
sister worn a sari in blue, while
her mother, the wife of the In
dian Envoy, had chosen delicate
aqua-toned material.
Frankly, with such outstand-
ing fashions appearing around
town, it's hard to understand
why an unbelievable costume
pops up now and again. There
was, for example, the lady we
spied the other day who wore a
sleeveless black street dress cut
SO low under the arm that an
expanse Of white lingerie was in
view. With this she sported yell
low bows in her hair, q yellow
bow at the v neckline Of her
frock and carried handpainted
white purse. Finally, the costume
was completed with white ankle
socks and very open white SAN

did his best. It sort of enlightens a
person and eggs one on to analyze
as to what is really wrong, besides
the difficulties of complicated af-
fair, as well as the contrariness of
things in general.
That leadership, such as has been
developed the past few decades, can
not stand up against men of mud and
blood, is becoming very evident.
Some generals and other leaders so
carefully groomed and nursed along,
when put up against the real thing,
have neither the moral, mental or
physical stamina to face realities, or
the resourcefulness, intelligence and
courage to plan and act. Before them
they see the possibility of failure and
disgrace. Like dude, they abhor
the dirt; what if their superficial rec
ord should be marred with failure?
On parade they are just it, but for
actual service mot so hot" To win

ABLE LEADERS LACKING
Editor Askov American:

Editor Askov American:
1t is generally becoming apparent
that the democracies for the past two
decades have failed to develop enough
able leaders. Like everything else
there are reasons for this, the main
one being the synthetic process of
developing leadership. Failure to re-
cognize that in all endeavors there
is the element of failure and that
apparent failure is merely an indica-
ton of the difficulty of the objective.
Being a confirmed failure in many
senses of the word, I have often
wondered why people are so afraid
of failing. In fact they would rather
not try at all, than to have the stigma
of failure attached to them. In the
army as well as in civil life l have
observed for many years how care
fully brilliant young men are groomed
and trained for leadership. Great
care is taken by them as well as their
superiors to avoid any endeavor
where there is a likelihood of failure.
Those of us who have so many black
marks that it would take several
gallons of benzine to erase them OF
course never took this precaution.
Anyhow, there are redeeming fea-
lures to failure, especially If one

NO TIME FOR GRANDsTANDING

Editor Askov American:
I wish to call to the attention Of
the Stassen-Ball clique a portion
of an editorial which appeared in the
st. Paul Dispatch on Jan. S, 1912
I quote:
Members of Congress, no doubt
feel that there's no great harm ir
playing just a 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 of any congressman, OF
senator, to get his job at Washington
back by playing what he thinks al
this moment will be good politics. .
Without a doubt, Mr.. Stassen and
Mr.. Ball will discover their error
next election day. The manner in
which the governor and the senator
have conducted the duties of their
respective offices since Pearl Harbor
is a disgrace. While our boys are
fighting and dying for democracy
Mr.. Stassen and Mr.. Ball have been
running around the country playing
politics and telling the people what
must be done after the war is won
Well, boys, you had better help us
win the war first.
Idle words and committee meet
ings will not win this war. Every
war is won by sweat and blood, and
this war is no exception. The gov
ernor plans to enter active service
with the Navy after the next session.
of the state Legislature. If it is nee
essary that Mr.. Stassen be our gov
ernor during the coming session of
the Legislature, the people of Mime
sofa should be told the reason why.
Winning this war is far more i'm
portant than the bills that the gov
ernor may have in mind to send to
his rubber stamp Legislature.
Wendell Willkie, the governors
political buddy, told us in 1910 that
there are no indispensable men" in
America.
According to the Twin City news
papers, the governor is very valu-
able man to the Navy.
If this be the case, Mr.. Stassen
could do more to help America win
the war by Immediately going into
active service.
This is no time for political grand
standing.

believe therefore, that all progress
sives should refuse to participate in
any movement which makes common
cause with any Communist organiza-
ton.
There is no doubt that the people
have come to understand that pri-
vate monopoly controls the official
machinery of both the Democratic
and Republican parties. Recent pub
lie scandals, such as the War Frauds,
the Shipping Board, Teapot Dome
and other oil leases, the Veterans
Bureau, the Alien Property Custod-
ian, and degradation of the Depart
ment of Justice under both Demo-
cratic and Republican Administra-
tons, and the endless fraud and cor
ruption in connection with the tax
alton and prohibition enforcement,
are but evidences of such control of
party machinery by lawless and pre-
datory interests.
The approaching Democratic and
Republican conventions will dem
onstrate to the people whether either
of those parties can and will purge
itself of the evil influences which
have long dominated them. This
cannot be accomplished by merely
nominating some alleged progressive
and filling the platform with mis-
leading promises. It demands the
elimination of monopoly control, the
downfall of corrupt political bosses,
the adoption Of, truly progressive
principles and the reputation of
those great campaign contributors
who have in the past bought up both
parties. -.
If this is not done, long suffering
| and righteously indignant people will
| find in the coming campaign effective
means, independent of both these old
| parties, to take back control of their
government and make it truly rep
resenattive.
Sincerely yours,
Robert M. La Toilette.

SENATOR LA FOLLETTE'S PRE-.
CONVENTION STATEMENT

26 May, 1924.
Hon. Herman L. Ekern,
Attorney General,
Madison, Wisconsin.
My dear Mr.. Ekern:
have your letter of May 18th say
ing that many of my friends in Wis
consin are anxious to know my atti-
tude toward the "Farmer-Labor-
Progressive convention" called to
meet at st. Paul, June 18th.
should not feel it incumbent upon
me to declare my attitude except that
my name is being used by the pro-
motors of that convention in such
a way as to convey the impression
that it has my approval and as a
result some of my friends in differ
ent parts of the country contemplate
attending the st. Paul convention.
Because of these facts, I feel it my
duty to state my view frankly.
I have no doubt that very many
of those who have participated in
VI uiSl1lS d1O0t tllC ~. dO1 SOIlV Gil
ton have been actuated by the purest
desire to promote genuine political
and economic progress.
Nevertheless, in my judgment, the
June II convention will not command
the support of the farmers, the work
ers, or other progressives because
those who have had charge of the
arrangements for this convention
have committed the fatal error OF
making the Communists an integral
part of their organization.
The Communists have admittedly
entered into this political movement
not for the purpose of curing, by
means of the ballot, the evils which
afflict the American people, but only
to divide and confuse the Progressive
movement and create condition Of
chaos favorable to their ultimate
aims. Their real purpose is to estab-
lish by revolutionary action die
tatorship of the proletariat, which
is absolutely repugnant to democratic
ideals and to all American aspira-
tons. The official declarations of the
Workers party show clearly that they
are seeking to use the Farmer-Labol

at the recent Farmer-Labor Associ-
alton convention in Minneapolis on
June 9th and 18th domination by
the Communists and fellow travellers
was complete.
Communists at their own conven-
ton in Minneapolis in 1910 declared
that they should set out to get con-
troll of the Farmer-Labor Associa-
ton.
The Farmer-Labor Association con-
vention at Brainerd in 1910 had a
difficult time with Communists and
their sympathizers. They objected
to defense measures and pronounced
this an imperialistic war. That was
before Russia was in it and while
Stain and Hitler had their alliances.
John Bernard, Howard Y. Williams,
James Flowers were among the
vociferous agitators. They even had
a separate peace meeting after the
Association convention in Brainerd
and later, because the Association
did not endorse candidates that year,
they met in Minneapolis and endorsed
a slate of their own with such names
as Benson, Egley, Williams, See
strom, etc.
The Farmer-Labor Association at its
convention in January of 1941 at st.
Paul adopted peace resolutions and
this was much approved by the Com
munists and their fellow travellers
in attendance, and again they termed
it an "imperialistic war"
But what change took place after
June %, 1941! When Stain and
Hitler locked horns it was different,
altogether different. With one foot
in Russia and deeply concerned
about Russia and Communism the
war now had a different meaning.
Folks who could not see it their way
over night were called appeasers.
America did not get into the war
until the Pearl Harbor attack on
Dec. Z, but that day in June, 1941,
was the turning point for the Com
munists.
Now that America is in the war
and the Communists are shouting
war from the house tops they will
get more of hearing and of course
will take advantage of the opportun-
ity to build up their philosophy of
government and place their key
men here and there. Russia being
on the side of America naturally we
are interested in her military success
as she is interested in our military
success. And to be sure the Russians
are putting up terrific fight for
home and country.
But the point here is that Com
munist infiltration and domination
will kill the liberal movement. 1t is
foreign theology. Dictatorship, wheth-
er it be Nazism, Fascism or Commun-
ism, does not belong in any American
political party.
The Farmer-L Dor Association
which is now saturated with Com
munism is not the Farmer-Labor
party. The party is the legal set-up
and separate and apart from the
Association.
VIM. Mahoney, former mayor of
st. Paul, liberal of fifty years stand
ing and one of the founders of the
Association, withdrew his member
ship following the recent Mime
apolis convention. He said: ''The
Farmer-Labor Association is no long
er the place for a genuine Farmer
Laborite and liberal" He stays with
the party of the farmers and work.
ers-the Farmer-Labor party.
Senator La Follette's letter explains
how the Communists operate and
something about their program. 1t
is published herewith.

1t must, however, be borne in mind
that the production figures given
above are from peacetime days. 1t
may be presumed they reflect the
amount the market was able to alb

was urgent need of it, their output

to the National Farmer-Labor
