Fear Coalition

Three or more political parties in
a state make it easier for the con-
servatives to win, especially in Min
nesota, this being nominally Re-
publican state. With the vote divided
several ways, a candidate even with
minority of all the votes, may win.
That would not be possible with only
two political parties and hence only
two candidates for the same office
opposing one another in the final
election.
Every now and then Twin City
conservative newspapers m n
about the improbability of the minor
ity parties uniting as one. They talk
about how difficult it would be to
put it over, they even seem to be
sorry that it is not being done, all the
time hoping that coalition will not
take place.
Minnesota history shows that mi
nority parties win only when there
is much disagreement amongst Re-
publicans - when the conservatives
have been in office for number of
years - or when the minority parties
unite. There are enough independent
voters in this state to make it inter-
esting for the conservatives any time
| the minorities unite
Those thoughts and fears are borne
out in recent editorial in the Mime
| apolis Tribune on the visit of Post
master General Walker to Minnesota.
The editorial goes back to 1886 when
the Democrats withdrew their candi-
date for the Senate and Ernest Lun-
deem won in walk.
The Tribune says: GAS senator,
Lundeen wasn't of great value to the
Democratic party, the state or the
nation. Yet at the time the deal was
made, Minnesota Democrats thought
they were doing a politically wise, ii
not a patriotic thing in sending to the
senate man who was an isolation
ist as far back as World War I and
who gloried in his record until the
day he died. It is to be hoped that
any deal made this time will give
more consideration to the state of the
nation than did the frameup of 1885,
In concluding the editorial the
Tribune takes another dig at the late
Senator Lundeen in these words:
"We trust that his (Walker's) fore
sight will be little more keen than
was that of Mr.. Crowley when the
combined intelligence of both parties
could make no more fitting selection
for the United States senate than
Lundeen.'
If Ernest Lundeen were alive he
could well take care of himself. The
embarrassing situation to the press
was that he was elected without the

the national tax will be on the basis
of the bonds held.
Assuming an ordinary family of
modest means has between 81 900 and
So, 900 in bonds, that is likely about
what that family can pay in federal
taxes. The balance of the 1880,
the average debt to family of five,
will have to be paid by those of
greater means, those who made the
big war profits.
Indirect taxes and various other
means will be tried in an effort
to divert the tax load, but the
burden is SO great this time that
assessments which hurt will have
to be applied.
We are in for big taxes. Let us
hope that an economy of abundance
will to a great extent replace the
profit motive, for that will ease the
load materially.
Work for all able-bodied persons
must be continued after the war. If
there is slackening, unemployment
and stagnation the war debts will be
unsurmountable. We must keep busy.
And even during the war the gov
ernment must get value for the dol
lars expended. Economy must be
practiced.
With taxes collected represent
ing only a third of the federal ex-
penditures it is a great incentive
to initiation, and initiation must be
held down. Too much buying
power now only bids up prices
and retards the day of debt set
tlement.
Any more Ruml tax plans permit
ting the sailing away of rs per cent
of war profits in year will only
make matters worse.
We must keep down initiation, pay
as much as possible of the war costs
as we go, and keep busy.

Conferring with Republicans in his

about how to win the 1914 national
election, Wendell L. Willkie, 1910

"We Republicans must present to

forces of private initiative with an
equitable distribution of the profits
and social benefits among labor, agri-

Journal.
Setting out with the House of Nor
gan, Willkie, and their local candi-
dates to organize the world, the
Cowles naturally would be against
those who cause them embarrassment.
Where was the Tribune when the
League of Nations was being debated
and organized? Was it strong for the
world organization then?
In 1928 Mr.. Lundeen in company
with others visited Russia. What did
the Tribune say then? What did the
press call him? The Senator saw
merit then in better relationship be-
tween the United States and Russia
which some people, who call them
selves intelligent did not discover un-
til two or three years ago. Now the
Cowles are working overtime in an
effort to cultivate friendship with
Joseph Stain.
One of Minnesota's present con-
gressmen, Harold Knutson of the
Sixth district, was member of con-
gress back in 1917 and like Lundeen
voted against Americas entry into
World War 1. Both opposed the
League of Nations In fact Knutson
has a longer record of isolationism
than that of Lundeen. Yet Lundeen
is being singled out.
The redeeming feature about Knut-
son, so far as the CoWleS are con-
cerned, is that he can be depended
on to vote for Ruml tax plans and
such other conservative or reaction
ary legislation.

agement to the advancing forces of
liberty throughout the world.
"But, in addition to these purposes
we must also see to it that our coun-
try, after the war is over, retains
adequate military, aeronautical and
naval strength to implement and, if
necessary, protect and enforce its
foreign policy"
Mr. Willkie has been travelling all
over the world, talking and writing
about world organization for peace,
cooperation and understanding. If we
are to have such an organization after
this war to insure against future wars
we must have faith in it, we must go
into it wholeheartedly.
Granted the support of the people,
world organization without power
to enforce its orders might be like
a justice of the peace without con-
stable, or legislative body enacting
laws without police and other law
enforcement officers to put them into
effect when not respected.
When nations are ready to practice
the golden rule then we can have a
successful world organization. And,
of course, it must be understood that
the world organization be supreme
1t is to be above and supreme to the
government of any one or group
of nations. 1t cannot be just an as
semblage of man passing resolutions
,,,f@
without power of enforcement.
Upon entering world organization
each nation must ask itself if it is
ready for earnest cooperation. Are
we willing to abide by the decisions
of the overall world organization
in international affairs, in foreign pol
icy? If another Mussolini bobs up and
sets out to massacre and conquer a
defenseless people like the Ethi-
opians, are we willing and ready to
give complete cooperation to the
world organization in stopping such
outrages in the inception through
economic sanctions or military force
if necessary? Are we more interested
in humanity than wealth and power?
A world organization to do away
with war can not be some halfway
proposition. 1t is going to be effective
or ineffective. A lot of dramatic talk
about world organization, "get it
started" "get it going" everybody
join," "now is the time" will not help
if we do not enter from the stand
point of sincere cooperation. Other
nations must do likewise.
And yet one of the men who does
the most talking for world organiza-
ton advocates adequate military
strength for the United States "to
implement and, if necessary, protect
and enforce its foreign policy"

War Politics.
1t was on July 25 that the once
Mighty Mussolini was kicked out Of
office, and was succeeded in his post
as Italian prime minister by Marshal
PietrO Badoglio. At that time the
general impression was that Italy
was making a definite move in the
direction of peace, but Badoglio him.
self shattered that hope with a decla-
ration to the effect that Italy would
keep on fighting. From the United
Nations came offers of ending the
war if Italy would surrender uncon-
ditionally. But Badoglio made no such
move.
The probability is that he dares
not, for he may have good reasons to
suspect that in case he yields, Italy
will be attacked by its present ally,
Germany.
The upshot of it all is then that
Italy's status is just about the same
as it was when Mussolini quit.
Fascism as a political system may
have disappeared - it seems to
have - but Italy is still at war
Earlier rumors that Hitler had
been pushed into the background
in Germany have been neither
confirmed nor denied, but it does
seem probable that a change
actually has taken place.
According to the best information,
and not yet contradicted, General
Field Marshal Goering, General Kei-
tel, and Admiral Karl Doenitz have
taken over the actual leadership Of
the war
Nazism Not Dead
But Hitler apparently is still in
charge, to some extent, especially in
regard to the civil administration
And, above all, he remains the head
of the Nazi party. In Italy, the Fascist
party apparently went down, but
Nazism is not yet dead.
Whether Hitler has been reduced
to the minor dignity of merely
party chieftain and nothing else, or
whether he still is the man who
makes his admirals and generals hop
at his least command, is not quite
clear. What is certain - or, rather,
what seems certain - is that he most
likely has submitted to being shorn
of some of his power.
It doesn't seem to make much diff
ference now, anyhow. Nazi Ger
many's days are numbered as are
those of Fascist Italy and Imperial
istic Japan. The writing on the wall
is becoming always palmer and
palmer.

The Toll Amongst The
Minnesota Liberals

On Sunday, August ~, 1t Will be
seven years since Minnesota's able
liberal leader, Governor Floyd B.
Olson, died. On that day, as in for
mer years, an appropriate memorial
program will take place to commem-
crate the life and work of the popular
governor. The program will be pre-
sented at the Olson monument on
Olson Memorial Highway and Penn
Avenue North, Minneapolis.
Seven years is a short time in
political history. However, looking
back over those few years we find
that considerable number of Mime
sota's liberal leaders have followed
the late governor to the grave - in
fact an unusually large number since
1886.
Within a few weeks after the death
of Olson followed the death of Mag
nus Johnson, former U. S. senator
and representative in congress, and
Knud Wefald, also former repre-
sentative in congress, and at the time
of his death railroad and warehouse
commissioner.
U. S. Senator Ernest Lundeen died
in 1910 in an airplane crash, and last
spring saw the passing of Minnesota's
dean of liberal leaders, S. A. Stock
well, who had served many years as
representative and senator in the
state legislature, beginning that serv-
ice back in the nineties. Other liberal
leaders who had served in the public
life of Minnesota, that died since the
passing of Floyd Olson, and the Of
fices held, include:
John P. Devaney, chief justice of
the state supreme court; Joseph
Poirier, municipal judge, Minneapolis;
Thomas Latimer, mayor, Minneapolis;
Henry G. Teigan and Dewey w.
Johnson, representatives in congress;
Emil S. Youngdahl, representative in
the state legislature and Hennepin
county commissioner.
State Senators John j. White, Ogil-
vie; Herman Schmechel, Fairfax;
Richard Kelly, Chisholm; A. o. De-
void, Minneapolis; George H. Lom-
men, Eveleth.
State Representative Albert j.
Samec, St. Paul; A. c. Welch, Glen
coe; and Kenneth A. Lindstrom,
Minneapolis.
Another person, Thomas Meighen
of Preston, who did not hold public
office, but was one of the best known
and most active liberal leaders in the
state, died within the last few years.
That list of 20 is a formidable
group from one state in seven years,
and certainly a formidable number
from the liberal group. Only five of
them were well up in years, namely
Sto kwell, Schmechel, Meighen,
Welch and White, ranging from 70
to IS. The others were in their best
years from the early thirties up to
81, the age attained by Magnus john
son. Floyd Olson was but a..
Whether or not politics or public
office is more strenuous than other
professions, trades, or occupations
may be difficult to answer. The
tenseness, the strain at times, is sure
to be wearing on the nerves and il
may be hard on the physical well be-
ing of the individual. However the
fact remains that the toll amongst
liberals of Minnesota in recent years
has been great.
