Editorial Correspondence
Soo Line en route to Banff, Canada, July 25. Speaking
once more aa a corn axpert, the crop outlook here in the Dakota
is excellent. The corn is neither as far advanced nor as dark
green as in Illinois, but the conductor says it's the best stand
of com he has seen in ten years, and he should know.
The wheat is mostly cut and in the shock. Is there any sight
more picturesque and reassuring than that of a large field
dotted with these little golden brown tents, particularly around
sunset! It makes any world look like one of peace and plenty,
and contentment.
It seemed like home last night when this train backed and
filled and jerked and bumped, but upon arising this morning
could find no freight cars, so guess we must have taken on
some more Pullmans somewhere en route. Incidentally we are
now nearly two hours late, which is OK by us for we won't
arrive at Banff so early in the morning. (Hi there, ltosey
where 'd you come from!)
This country, rolling and treeless, with occasional muddy riv
ers and creeks, suggests Indians and buffalo and six-gun scouts.
The nephew is very much excited by it, and more resentful than
ever that he wasn't allowed to bring his air rifle and non
collapsible fishing rod. He is convinced this is the country where
Buffalo Bill and Billie the Kid roamed, and nothing we can
say will convince him he is four or five hundred miles off. Such
self-assurance is far from pleasing in one so young, but if kept
in check may be a useful characteristic in later life. It is far
more desirable than the much publicized inferiority complex,
at any rate.
We expected to find a cool breeze when we arrived at St.
Paul last night, but if anything the station was hotter than
the one at Janesville, with everyone in their shirt sleeves or
the feminine equivalent. In fact emerging from an air-conditioned
car, into the atmosphere, came as a staggering shock,
and for a few minutes we doubted if we could make it.
For some reason there were a large number of small babies
in the waiting room, looking suprisingly pink-cheeked, clenr
eyed, robust and contented considering the atmosphere. Guess
they raise them that way in the Scandinavian northwest.
Stopped a full hour in St. Paul. Don't believe Minneapolis
or Mag II. would have liked THAT I
The nephew has produced a murderous looking pistol lie
says is nothing but a water gun, but looks like one of Al
Cupone's best automatics. If he should see an Indian now would
this Pullman be drenched!!!
(A compromise hag been reached, he can carry the gun if
he will put no water in it.)
May we recommend as good summer reading, Eugene Lyon's
article in the current Mercury, entitled ''Hitler's blue print
for a slave world."
It is getting much cooler 1 Praise be to Allah. The young man
has decided .to put on an undershirt 1
Just stopped at Minot, North Dakota. Our last stop there
was in the late fall of 1U06, when we started west in search
of a country newspaper, and the Minot paper was recommended
by a prominent citizen of Grand Forks. A chap by the name of
Clark was editor and publisher, a very fluent talker, and
magnetic personality as well as a liberal host. Appreciative of
the latter quality we wrote a bread and butter note from
Spokane highly complimentary to the editor and his publica
tion, expecting nothing further to develop. But we had
reckoned withOUT our host for upon returning to Rockford
we were sued for broach of contract (something of the sort),
at any rate Clark was not only an editor but a smart lawyer,
and presented our b. & b. note, as an offer of purchase, which
he had accepted on the spot.
The fact we had no money, alone prevented us from paring
over what we did have, and becoming a citizen of Minot, N. 1).
(That 'a N. D. not N. 0., .lames!)
Loud voice from the gallery
fortune not Minot's!"
The most noticeable feature of this country is the absence
of paved highways, miles and miles of roads made of dust
and dirt.
Resuming our role of agricultural expert: the wheat looks
powerful thin and lean, up in these parts, headed out, but
not much over ankle deep.
However they are cutting it!

It lias started to sprinkle outside. The conductor says rniti
is badly needed, guess it always is in this country. R.W.Ii.

tlfALTHER Funk, nazl minis
" ter of economics, warns the
U. S. she must be prepared to
trade with a victorious Germany
ON GERMAN TERMS after the
war or suffer a lockout from the
commerce of a whole Europe
geared to nazl economics.
WHAT he means is this:
After the war nazi-dom-inated
Europe will be long on
manufactured products and
short on food and raw materials.
The United States will be long
on manufactured products and
also long on food and raw ma
terials. SOUTH AMERICA will be
short on manufactured products
and EXCEEDINGLY LONG on
food and raw materials.
AFTER the war, nazl-doml-"
nated Europe will want to
sell its surplus of manufactured
products and will be willing.
EVEN ANXIOUS, to take food
and raw materials in exchange.
The United States will want
to sell its surplus of manufac
tured products but will be UN
ABLE to accept food and agri
cultural raw materials in pay
ment because it will have an ag
ricultural surplus of its own.
South America will want to
sell its surplus of food and raw
materials (chiefly agricultural)
and will be GLAD to accept
manufactured products in payment
'That was Mcdford's mis-
fHE buyer, as everyone In
business knows, HOLDS
THE WHIP. Holding the buyer s
whip and being able, even anxi
ous, to take what the seller has
to offer in trade, nazi Germany,
after the war, will be able to
DOMINATE South American
business and shut American
business out of Europe.
That Is Nazi Funk's threat.
It isn't altogether an idle one.
DY WAY oTmecting this threat
" (which it recognizes as hav
ing soap on it) our government
is talking of a huge borrowed
money appropriation to buy up
South America's agricultural
surpluses, exactly as it has been
buying up our own surpluses of
wheat, corn, cotton, etc.
(Our New Deal government,
unfortunately, seems to be un
able to think of any other
scheme than borrowing money
and buying up everything In
sight in order to get rid of it.) i
This writer, without posing as
an authority, doesn't think the
scheme will work. For one
thing. American farmers will
object bitterly to having Amer
ican taxpayers' money used to
buy up competing South Ameri
can agricultural products.
WHAT wiTTwoTk? Frankly.
" this writer doesn't know,
but has an Idea that IN
CREASED AMERICAN EFFIC
IENCY, enabling us to meet
whatever competing prices and
terms we have to, is about the
only PERMANENT solution of
the trade problem that will fare
us after the war.

ALL SET TO
In an article published some
time ago, "Whata The Matter
With Our Dally Bread?" I called
called attention to the scheme
of the Ameri
can Medical
Association to
doctor our!
daily bread. I
pointed out
that if the;
scneme to acta
to white bread
a dash of syn
thetic thiamin
(vitamin Bl) is
put into effect
the fake "re
storation" o f
bread is going
to cost the ultimate consumer
real money for somebody has
to pay for the "scientific con
trol" of the doctoring of bread.
You may get an idea of the
boost the price of bread is likely
to show when the "restoration"
begins by comparing the pre
mium prices charged for certain
other staple foods to which
dashes of this or that vitamin
have been added with the price
of the same foods as they occur
in nature.
That the proposed plan to "re
store" bread, by adding to re
fined white flour an arbitrary
amount of vitamin Bl or per
haps fractions of this and that
component which has been re
moved in the milling and re
fining of the wheat, is not what
it purports to be "restoration"
of white flour to then nutrition
al level of whole wheat flour
is obvious to any one who has
even an elementary knowledge
of human nutrition.
A proprietary product pur
porting to contain vitamin Bl,
and vitamin G, along with a
dash of iron and calcium, has
now been introduced, under the
approval of the A. M. A. Coun
cil on Foods, for the country's
bakers to add to white bread
to bring its level up to that of
whole wheat bread in these par
ticular factors. In the announce
ment the "increased manufac
turing costs" of the product is
mentioned so the dumb lait
may as well get ready to pay
and pay (or "restored" bread.
Instead of going to all that
trouble and expense, the lay
man with any sense at all will
lay in a bushel or a few pounds
of Plain Wheat, the grain, as it
is grown by the farmer and
try his hand at preparing vari
ous palatable dishes with it. Just
to get you started, I have a
monograph "Wheat to Eat",
which gives instructions and
recipes for . the dally use of

aRalnat any measure which might
1 seem to favor business men without
giving them a sharp blow on the
head In tha next paragraph. They
pointed out that men like Senator
; Burton K. Wheeler of Montana and
Senator Robert M. LaPollette of Wis
consin had grudgingly swallowed the
national defense program after years
' of habitual opposition to almost all
defense appropriations. And they sug
gested that men of this sort would
love nothing better than the oppor
tunity to denounce the administra
tion In flaming periods for encourag
ing "war proflteera."
The president and Morgenthau rue
fully acknowledged the force of the
leader's reasoning. Instead of Intro
ducing the tax-liberallsatlon bill as
I separate measure, they agreed to
attach it to the excess prorits bill
the crack on the head In the next
paragraph. The result Inevitably, has
been interminable delsy. The excess
profits taxes are complex, delicate
.j snd needlul of long study. The tsx
liberalisations have had to wait up
on the completion of the exceaa pro
fits tax program, which even now is
not fully In sight.
Both s,the defense advisory com-
mlasion and the treasury have strug- j
tled manfully to cope with the re- i
suiting situation. Within the present
law, the treasury baa attempted to
work out new amortisation require
ments satisfactory to at least a few
business men. Knudsen and his aides
hsve done their best to reassure men
whom they are asking to sign con
tracts with the promise that coiress
will soon take care of the problem, j
vet tne ousiness men, an too laminar
with the ways of cotigreas, hsve often
oec n unwilling to make the needed
investments or expand their plants as
required until thy could see the
changes In the law on the way to the
White House for signature. As a re
sult, turrriurv. to irnr i uriuBHu
oratory In congress, the national de
tense program Is being slowed up
At thu writing en attempt is being
made to speed the tax changes. It la
to be noped that It will be su.Tessf ul.
Despite such obstacles. It may be
adnrd. Knucten seem to be doing a
magnificent Job. There is stltl the
same ild difficulty, reported in this
iac Soirw time ai, in getting the
armv to make up its mind Just what

army officers need are both money

The prevailing Idea that Ameslcans
rush to volunteer has small foundar
tlon. It has been and Is difficult for
the regular army to fill its author
ized quota of enlisted men. Army of
ficers, therefore, contend that service
should be compulsory and selective.
By applying registration to every
msle from 18 to 65 years, national
defense becomes a personal matter.
It la brought borne to every Individ

a different aspect on the defense of
the United Suites, quite different

DONALD MacDonald has come to
the national capital to urge a
highway to Alaska as a defense mea
sure. Mr. MacDonald is a member of
the five-man International highway
commission which advocates building
a road from Hazel ton to Fairbanks,
1300 miles. This would be a continu
ation of the Pacific Highway, The
commissioner has talked to Oregon's
James W. Mott, member of the house
roads committee; with Walter M.
Pierce (an old friend i, with Senator
McNary, who Introduced the first
resolution for the highway about 16
yi?ars sgo. and others. Mr. MacDonald
wrote a speech urging the highway
which was delivered by Representa
tive Magnusson, of Washington.
According to MacDotiald, the Alas
kan coast cannot be defended by sea.
A submarine could change channel
markings and wreck warships with
out firing a shot. Alaska cannot be
defended from the air because there
is an Insufficient supply of gasoline,
this supply being easily cut off as it
must be shipped by water. If ship
ping on the coast waa tied up for two
months Alaska would be starved out.
says MacDonald. and the few hun
dred soldiers be helpless.
With a highway nothing fancy
and about 22 feet wide troops snd
supplies could be dispatched Inland.
Alaska cannot be defended unless
there 1s a road to Fairbanks, argues
the highway commissioner. The loss
of one cruiser on the Alaskan coast
would represent more money than
the highway from Hnzelton to Fair
banks would cost.

ROOSEVELT PAVES
TO
OF
Washington, July 27..
President Roosevelt established
an organization today to un
dertake the task of buying $50.
000.000 worth of relief supplies,
geting them through the British
blockade and seeing that they I
reach war refugees instead of
falling Into German hands.
The money for the undertak
ing was appropriated by con
gress recently at Mr. Roosevelt's
request.
In an executive order, the
president designated the secre
tary of agriculture to purchase
farm products and the secretary
of the treasury to buy other
supplies under the pre gram.
What will be purchased is to
be determined by these offic
ials and the American Red
Cross.
The Red Cross was designated
as an agency to transport the
purchases abroad and distrib
ute them to "refugee men, wo
men and children who have
been driven -from their homes
or otherwise rendered destitute
by hostilities or Invasion."
Other agencies may be desig
nated later to carry on similar
work.
Stephen Early, presidential
press secretary, made public
the order. Questioned by news
men as to whether Great Brit
ain had agreed to let the sup
plies through her blockade, he
replied that distribution was
100 percent the Job of the Red
Cross.
It was believed that the Red
Cross might negotiate with the
British and German govern
ments through the state depart
ment. Rome Envoy Coming
