Vardis Fishers book, ''The Children

a lasting impression upon me of the
trek of the followers of Josef Smith

Young They made history of the
west, colorfu1 chapter in the set
tling of our country. Polygamy only
added to their trials in more than
one way. It is difficult to under
stand their beliefs being worth all

Salt Flats of Utah.
The salt on the plain and the lake
west of the city was indeed strange
sight. Just flat and white, like a
frosted cake, not like snow, not like
ice, but white in heavy brittleness,
which hinders all life of vegetation
and animals and no sign of dwell
ings, only here and there tracks of
an automobile to remind one of man
and in the distance factory in the
vast whiteness. 1t must have taken
an hour or more to pass to vegeta-
ton again, but it was sparse and not
any animal life of any kind all day.
Toward evening after passing Salt
Lake City at about II a. m, we saw
few scattered cattle. There were
hills and mountainous country all
along and next day we were in a
steadier mountain range. We had

WAR ON SCARCITY
Editor ASkov American:

COllOI AShOV fAIIlGItCdIl.
Man is, by nature Ga thing to be
kept in mind) an advancing, not re-
treating creature. Hunger pulled him
out of his cave; adventure joined
with hunger to drag him over the
earth, down in the sea, up through
the sky. In his eagerneSs to see
what was lover the hill" man, in
general, overran most of the earth
But certain practical" men came
along and '.staked- down" the bes,
parts and put up signs, saying, 'keer
Off"
Since the few 'practical' men
would not permit the many to use

to endure idleness, hence hunger
much of the time. This has become
uncomfortable. It is contrary to mans

get production, to set man to re-
adventuring.
But war (i e. the old kind of wary
is wasteful. While it is the parent
of production yet the losses outweigh
the gains. Besides it needlessly kills
men. Men don't want to be killed
This ought to give us clue, clue
to the solution of the age-old prob
lem of alternating peace-poverty and
war-plenty. Since war is the only
means we know by which to put all
men to work and release full pro-
duction we should find a method by
which to show a net gain over de-
Struction.
Since war is the technique to which
we are addicted we should work out
new kind of war. But to have war
we must have an enemy, real OF
fictitious. Well, we have such an
enemy-poverty.
Poverty. is the enemy of all, even
the rich. The weapon with which
to combat poverty is plenty. Plenty
is within reach Of all. Poverty car

scarcity. Let the enthusiasm now
being directed at "evil men" be
turned against non-production
against production for bigger private
profits, to production for use and fol
consumption. Let the nation, the
nations, declare war on scarcity. Lei
it be stressed that idleness can be
destroyed with work, and that there:
plenty of work to do.
Our country, the world, is not hal
developed. Much that has been done
is now being undone by war and de-

FEARLESS NINE. CHANG

60. R. Bryant, M. D., Cross Lake,
Mimi, in Minneapolis Star JournaD
What refresher have been the
visit and speeches of Madame Chang
Kai-shek! What mental exhilaration,
especially for those Americans who
are sick and tired of the dribble
put forth by our supposed intelli-
gentsia.
Since the start of this international
holocaust America has been flooded
by pattern speeches exhorting us to
hate and slaughter. In the midst of
all this heroic effort to stir up our
ferocity comes a pale, dainty, tiny

woman from China. Speaking fear
lessly and with a direct appeal to
our intelligence she jerks us to our
feet. Though her people and her
country have been, ravaged and pill
laged she pleads with us not to teach
hatred toward these people or any
other peoples because some day we
must talk peace with them and we
must live with them and hate must
be left out of the peace program If
it would be successful. This was only
one of the noble thoughts left by this
inspired emissary.
If our cause is not just without the
background of hate then something
is wrong with that cause.

Hidden away in the receSSeS OF
the legislative potpourri OF the re-
Gently adjourned legislature was a
bill authorizing the payment OF
S8,5OO as a salaray to the governor
in 1945. This makes the salary OF
the Minnesota chief executive a bit
higher than the average for COVER
nors in other states. But why should
it not be higher, for Minnesota is
not an average state by a jugfull,
and it costs more to become governor
here than it does in many of the
rest of the states; and why is it not
a greater honor for anyone to be
governor here than anywhere else
in the country?
Our own Eddie Thye swore to
the fact that he paid out more than
$29, 900 for the primary or warming
up campaign just to be lieutenant
governor that paid only $4,000. Now
to me it's crying shame to have to
pay so much for getting so little, and
a much greater shame that we are
SO niggardly in this great rich state
that we must make farmer dig into

The information now comes that
Gov. Thye has rented an elaborate
suite at the st. Paul hotel, where he
will live. Since the New Deal went
into the billion dollar financial de-
lirium l have lost all sense of pro-

am hoping that Eddie's cows will
learn of his new surroundings and
pour forth abundantly of the iacteal
elixir of life, that he may govern

living.

FARMER FACES TROUBLE
AFTER WAR ENDS
(Oroville Mercury

In the opinion of DR.. Karl Brandt, of
the Food Research Institute Of Stanford,
Americas agricultural output will have
expanded 80 per cent or more at the end
of the war He adds that Europe'S agri-
culture will come back quickly to full
production In those words lies men
ace to American economy that should be
avoided to the extent possible.
We know that farmers are being ad-
vised not to go into debt in order to cX-
pand. as so many did during the first
World war yet many probably are do
ing SO.
Serious consideration should he given
to Dr. Brandt's suggestion that we i'm
port temporarily from Argentina some of
the great stores Of food being accumulate
ed there. This could be delivered in
Argentine ships To us at New Orleans.
1t would make unnecessary part of the
expansion here and thus avoid some of
the bad reaction that will hit our aGriCul-
ture after the war.
Ii should be realized that at once after
the war ends the Argentine will begin
delivering huge quantities of food to Eur
ope. Why not take some of II now? 1t
would improve relations with the one
major food producer in the Americas
that was not represented at the Food
Conference. and serve to lessen the shock

CASE OF SWEDEN
{ (EmpOria Gazette)

Probably the hardest job in the civiliz-
ed world for any nation, has confronted
Sweden. On one side is occupied Nor
way Not far off Is Soviet Russia. And
all around Sweden. south and west, is
the Nazi terror Yet Sweden has done
great Job She has maintained her self
respect in a time of danger
If Hitler expected Sweden 10 submit
in despair after occupation of Norway
when double blockade cut off over 70
per cent of its export market-he was
doomed to disappointment
For Sweden, thoroughly democratic
country, re0rganized its internal ccOno-
my, and increased armamentS. The navy
has been strengthened; compulsory mill
tary service is now the longest in SWed-
ish history; and 5-year plan for nation
al defense is in full operation.
That Sweden has been able to survive
under the double strain of isolation and
increased defense preparations is due to
great extent to lessons learned during
World War l. For example during the
last war Sweden was dependent on i'm
ports for bread To-day it is in the main
