MAY FORGET SOLDIERS
Editor ASkov American:

Editor ASkOV American:
Governor Harold E. Stassen wants
to remain in office only for four
months of a third term.
If he is reelected how many days
will be spent in the state of the four
months? He is hardly ever in the
state now, so I can not understand
why he wants public office. Also
who pays for all those trips?
The Stassen program was outlined
on a provision for $10,000,0 900, prin-
cipally to help returning soldiers get
started after the war.
If he is in office he will have for
gotten all about the soldiers like he
has forgotten about the disabled SOL
diers of World War I, old age pen
sioners and people on relief.
Maybe he means that will be the
funds available he said we would
have when he asks for raise for
state workers.

animals and cattle, agricultural tools
and machines and to join the pro-
ducing cooperatives, etc. During the
last two years the credit coopera-
tives have also been able to grant
short term loans for a five to six
years term at a reduced interest
rate, thus furthering suburban and
auxiliary production as well as the
increase of food supplies.
Thanks to the prudent policy of
the labor credit cooperatives and to
the care they have takenoto pre-
serve considerable liquid reserves,
they have successfully stood the test
of two years of warbsand unstable
economic conditions and have con-
tinued their normal activity in grant,
ing credits to their members. (W.I.L.
International Circular Letter.)
Formation of an International Com
mittee for Cooperative Reconstruct

construction of cooperatives in war
torn countries after the war and
to encourage the use OF cooperative
methods in general postwar recon-
struction was announced here re-
Gently by the Cooperative League of
the U. S. A.
Composed of group of executives
of cooperatives now in exile in
America from occupied European
countries, number of American CO.
operative leaders, several noted
economists and public figures, and
of representatives of many nom
European lands, the committee will
work out plans for the reconstruc-
ton of European cooperatives and
will serve as clearinghouse of in
formation from occupied countries.
1t will also encourage government
and other agencies to make COOP
eratives an important part of all
programs for democratic reconstruc-
ton. (Worldover Press.)

BEST EQUIPMENT WINS
Editor ASkov American:

A number of years ago great
baseball pitcher said just before a
world series, eff I win this game,
am a hero; if don't am 'son-of-a
gum" Army generals are in the
same boat. When they win they are
successes and when they lose they
are failures. However, there are
many factors which decide the battle
besides the generals, among them
being the most and biggest guns.
Most Americans abhor the very
idea of failure or defeat, yet, in war
on the average you will lose half of
the time - everything else being
equal. But, also in war, the side
which wins the last battle comes out
ahead. In modern war side is
not defeated until it cannot fight
any longer.
This principle was emphasized by
an old farmer who had generally
sold the idea that he could lick any
man in the country-e especially did
his wife believe this. One day an
other farmer managed to get the best
of him and sat down on him. His
wife kept on saying to him "Give
it to him-give it to him, John.
Another farmer asked how he could
as he was on the bottom. It is easy
for those sitting in the background
to say, go to him-give him good
licking" But, unless person has
the power, that is not so easy.
While do not claim to, be mill
tary expert, still maintain that the
side with the most and biggest guns
wins. No kind providence watches
over and protects the weak in battle.
Hence, the necessity for having the
most and biggest guns in order to
win this war.

WE MUST SAVE ALASKA
New Him JollrnaD

(NeW Olm JOurndl)
These are some of the darker days
of the war.
Tobruk has fallen. China is in a
bad way Sevastopol is in trouble
and is likely to fall. Dispatches from
Russia indicate they have been hold
ing fairly well but they have not
made any progress and the entire
fury of the German army this year
has not been turned on.
These are dark days for the United
Nations and conditions are likely to
get worse before they get better.
We must steel ourselves for bad news
to come.
The Japs are working their way
island by island up the Aleutian
chain toward Alaska. This is dam
gerous to the United States as Col.
Billy Mitchell declared so prophet
cally, the nation which controls
Alaska is the nation which can con-
troll the Pacific and perhaps the
world. Alaska and the Aleution is
lands are the dagger pointed toward
Japan's heart. Alaska in the hands
of Japan is terrible threat to the
United States because this puts her
within bombing distance of Hawaii,
California, Oregon and Washington
as well as within bombing range OF
the iron range in Minnesota, the docks
in Duluth and the 500 canal. The
destruction of the 500 canal would
bottleneck the shipment of ore which
makes possible all arms production.
In our anxiety to open additional
fronts we had better concentrate first
on holding the fronts we now have.
Alaska and Egypt are two of the
most important fronts we must de-
fend at all costs.

Cooperatives Around
The World

The industrial cooperatives in
China are showing new growth.
Plans for setting up with American
funds a new Industrial Cooperative
Depot in Likiang, northwestern Yum
nan, on the supply route being built
to Sadiya in India, have been an
nounced by the American commit
tee. Although the route has not been
completed and can now be traversed
by mule only, the cooperatives will
be set up to meet the needs of the
heavy traffic when it is established.
The growth of cooperatives in this
area would also serve to bring to-
gether the various tribes of Lolos,
Tibetans, Yuetungs, and others liv-
ing near the proposed route, and
would bring them into closer friend
ship with the other peoples of China.
Cooperatives already established
in China are being called upon to
supply an ever greater amount of
materials and supplies for the coun-
try. Recently they undertook the
IIldIluldCIuTG VI OldIlhGtS, new III
dustry for China, since most blankets
had been imported previously

recent difficulties in connection with
the general situation, the labor credit
cooperatives have shown a remark

among the most effective instruments
of constructive cooperative financing

A SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
Editor Askov American:

News items in the Minneapolis
Star Journal of July 3, reveal that:
the average American work.
er's pay check is up "a per cent above
1889 levels while living expenses are
up Is per cent i. Minneapolis bank
deposits rose to new all-time high
on June 80 Hog prices reached
the highest level in 16 years today
City relief burden now below
absolute minimum" What con-
trast to the past decade?
Were not these improved condi-
tons brought about solely because
we were recently forced to pay more
taxes; forced to spend money; forced
to purchase guns, tanks, battleships
planes, bombs, ETC.? Forced into a
program of worldwide war, death
and destruction?
Now in peace time, if we were
forced to pay taxes and Gas if it
would be necessary forced to spend
money; forced to purchase new
homes, manufactured goods, agri-
cultural products, personal services,
etc.-forced into constructive pro-
gram of eliminating poverty, unem-
ployment and business stagnation-
could we not establish a few call
time" highs, along the same lines, in
our postwar economic structure?
After giving some unbiased con-
sideration to the above statements
what sane objection can there be
for not adopting the Townsend Ma
tional Recovery plan as scientific
pay-as-you-go postwar C n o m {
program? A program which en-
bodies the principles of practical
Christianity and for which the whole
world is longing.

the effect that help is pouring into
Egypt.
The Way to India.
A Nazi success in this part of the
world would pave the way for e
march into India, probably the most
vulnerable point in the entire Brit
ish empire, and that explains the
fact that the British are stalking al
most everything on their resistance
in Africa.
There still remains the danger
that the Japanese may try an
attack on India at about the same
time that the Nazis may begin
to carry out their own expert
ment, and during the last few
days it has, again, been rumOred
that Japan may covet India at
about the same time when she
may provoke the hostility of
Soviet Russia, despite the nom
aggression treaty signed last year
by the governments at Tokyo and
Moscow.
This is far from sure, but it is, sc
to say, in the air, and is mentioned
as strong possibility.
Russian War.
Here, something will depend upor
the further development of the Russo
German war.
Last week the German capture
of the fortified Crimean city of
SevastOpOl was announced and,
reluctantly, confirmed by the
Russians. The victory had cost
Germany tremendous sacrifices,
especially in terms of human
lives. But, Hitler, as is well
known, does not have much re-
gard for the value of a human
life-he recklessly sacrifices those
of millions. Only-not his own.
In the Kursk and Kharkov Sec
tors of the Russian front fighting i:

is no decisive action reported. What
ever little there is, seems, most Of
the time TO favor the NaZlS.
China War.
On Tuesday of this week it wa:
seven months since the japanese at.
tack on Pearl Harbor, and also five
years since the japanese war agains
China began. That war continues
and the odds are not favoring the
Chinese although they have, during
the last few days, won a number O
victories. They are unimportan
in relation to the undenied fac
that the general trend of the wal
points toward further Japanese tri.
umphs. At the present time theil
special aim seems to be to master
the entire east coast of China anc
to make it possible to construct {
railroad all the way from Korea tt
Singapore. s.-s..
The European, the African, the
Asiatic fronts are all parts of one
worldwide battle line. For that rea-
son it may be assumed that when
ever the so-called Second Front
opens, it will open simultaneously in
three continents.

received your package. I really

are life savers, as American ciga-
rettes are rationed to us and the
English blend are not worth the
matches needed to light them, at
least I really do not get any salts
faction from them whatsoever.
The weather here has been quite
nice at times, when it is that way.
It is very much similar to our Min
nesota climate. Oh, yes, the fish
ing is quite good; there is quite a
large number of pike-they range
about six pounds.
We have quite a good baseball
team, only lost two games. It is
going to be turned into a divisional
team to represent our division.
However, what happened to our
old baseball team? I imagine most
of the boys are now in the army.
Hope they have a chance to stay
back in the States.

hailed out not long ago. Hail stones
as large as chicken eggs broke Win

in the car top. Loss of life included
few chickens and several hogs not
able to reach cover.
About week later wind and hail
made second call in that area but
passed him by on the other side.
Many others, however, suffered from

received one hundred dollars Tin

The life long pal and mate of the
horse that was killed soon became

the only reason for. the second death
was, that this horse became heart
broken from grief.

Last week, this column discussed
the highlights in the Roosevelt-Wal-
lace peace program.
One of the points mentioned brief
ly was that having to do with the
exploitation of the weak nations by
the strong.
Our idealists are agreed that it is
a nefarious practice and that it must
be ended After the war, the weak
nations are to be helped by the
strong, not exploited.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1942-07-09

The way they used the word, eek
ploitation," we are, presumably, to
understand that it is something
pretty wicked.
But is it? Instead, isn't it the
actual fact that it is the active agent
in private enterprise? Without it,
how could a capitalistic economy,
such as ours, be maintained? What
incentive would there be to indi-
vidual effort? Shorn of this ele-
ment, would not our economy become
socialistic instead?
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1942-07-09

1t sounds fine. But I'm not sure
that know what it means. Not that
its important whether l do or not,
so long as Messrs. Roosevelt and
Wallace know. The trouble is that
I don't believe that they do either.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1942-07-09

So, as we said, above, it sounds
fine to say that there shall be an end
OF the exploitation of weak nations
by the strong, but it doesn't mean
anything.
