THE BEACH REVIEW
FARMERS UNION LEGISLATIVE
COMMITTEE AT WASHINGTON
Washington, D. C., April l$.--The Juniors began their March to
Washington, by visiting the college local in Fargo, N. D. From there,
to St. Paul, where they visited the Farmers Unton offices. In St. Paul
the group were shown Minnesota's capitol and were received by Gover-
nor Olson. That same evening a banquet, sponsored by the business
activities of St. Paul, was given in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where the
Wisconsin juuior and leader joined the party. In Madison, Wisconsin,
they were received by Governor LaFolletto and were shown around the
capitol building.
Along the trip many historical spots were visited, including the
Gettysburg battlefield. There the young people could review their
history. They viewed the battlefield just seventy years from the date
of Lincoln's assassination. The drive into the Nation's capital was
very beautiful Early the next morning a general meeting with the
committee was held and then a
tour of the principal beauty spots
of the city was begun. Our na-
tional Junior Leader and the South
Dakota Junior joined us at this
time.
This group in Washington have
been highly honored by being able
to meet many prominent men and
women. Especially interesting and
educational was the visit to the of-
fice of Mr. Jacob H. Taylor, Secre-
tary of the Rural National Council
for Prevention of War. Miss Ran-
kin spoke to the group and Mr. Tay-
lor very kindly showed the group
the room where the recording of
material takes place. He express-
ed the hope that in time we could
have records of material made and
then have these same records used
in our broadcasting stations as elec-
trical transcription, which would
facilitate the work of our organi-
zation to a great extent.
One outstanding event was the
visit to the White House, where
we were shown through the spa-
cious halls and marvelous rooms.
The Juniors all have a wonderful
background for future work, since
their educational tour of our Na-
tion's Capitol.
April 18, will be long remember-
ed by the Juniors who made the
Washington Trip, and it is a day
that should be remembered by the
membership at large, as well. For
the first time in history, a group of
Young people representing organiz-
ed Agriculture were received by
the administration's high officials.
These Juniors are endorsing the
legislation demanded by their or-
ganization, and their reception by
government officials, cognizant of
that fact, was a marked honor.
The Juniors and Mrs. Edwards
were received by Secretary of Ag-
riculture Wallace in his private of.
fice in the beautiful Agriculture
building at ten o'clock. Here they
met Chester A. Davis, head of the
AAA. M. W. Thatcher, had made
arrrangements for these young peo-
Ple to meet the Secretary, and it
~as his efforts also which made
Possible the meeting with the
President of the United States on
the same morning.
Leaving the Department fo Agri-
culture, Mr. Davis took the party
to the Executive Offices in the
White House. Here we were pass-
ed through the numerous outer o£-
hces where swarms ot newspaper
men besieged Mr. Davis for an in-
tdrview, through a number of inner
offices until we reached the office
of Louis McIntyre, secretary to the
President. Here we waited for a
short time, until it was time for
our appointment. And while wait-
ing, we were much interested in
meeting Senator Marvin Jones,
chairman of the Agriculture Com-
znittee. We aIso saw the blind
Senator Gore of Oklahoma, and
Would have met bin, but we were
Called into the President's office at
that moment.
In this beautiful room we were

nation with a beaming smile and a
hearty handclasp. He asked us a
few questions about the contest,

SNOW LOCAL
Snow Local, No. 424, held its reg-
ular meeting, Friday evening,
April 19, at School No. 2 in Snow
District.
The meeting was called to order
by the chairman. After the roll
call the minutes of the previous
meeting were read by Martha Be-
get, a Juvenile member; also a fi-
nancial report was given. As there
was no other business to transact
at this meeting, the chairman turn-
ed the meeting over to the program
committee.
The Juveniles of our local put
on most of our programs while the
adult members ag well as visitors
participate in the singing.
Out'program at this meeting was
given to a packed house, and was
v e r y enthusiastically received,
everyone proclaiming this to be
our greatest meeting, although each
meeting seems to meet with the
same reception.
The Juveniles conduct their own
meeting, having their set of offi-
cers giving their roll call and read-
ing of the minutes. Then they
take up the lesson work, which we
make as interesting as possible
and it is given to the house as a
part of the program. The program
consisted of:
Song~Farmers Stand by "Farmers
Union."
Recitation ............ Ida Boger

The Juveniles gave some of their
peppy yells and the remainder of
the period was spent singing Farm-
ers Union songs until lunch was
served. The children ended the
happy evening, as they departed
for home, by singing.
We have our regular meeting
every two weeks, having a program,
and taking up some phase of the
Farmers Union activities as a
study.

Secretary-Treasurer.
CO-OPERATIVE NEWS
As additional evidence that con-

cials attended the 14th annual con-
vention of the Land O' Lakes
Creameries, Inc., the largest cream-
ery co-op in the world, in Minne-
apolis, Minn., on March 14 and 15.
Principal speakers at the conven-

500,000 over the 1933 volume.
Nearly $52,000 in dividends will be
paid to members in June, he said.
This is in addition to dividends
earned by local creameries and
p~d to individual patrons and
members.

WHY I AM GLAD
I AM A FARMERS
UNION JUVENILE
By HAROLD BOUGHTON,
Manns Local.
I am glad I am a Farmers Union
Juvenile because we have our
meetings at the houses.
After we get there we play
awhile then we are called in fer
our lessons.
We open our meeting by singing
our Juvenile song. Then we say
the creed and give our yell.
Our leader asks us to read the
lesson, then she asks us questions
on that day's lesson and on the
lessons we had before, so we will
not forget what we have learned.
We all see Who can answer the
most questions.
After the meeting we play games,
theu we are called iu for lunch.
We are going to learn to co-op-
crate with our neighbors and work
together for the good of all.
We sell our grain and stock to
the Farmers Union associations be~
cause we get better prices for
them.
We trade at James.~wn wher~
we receive more for our eggs and
also get a dividend.
I like to go to our local meetings
and listen to the grown people dis-
cuss farm problems and other
t~aings of interest to farmers. Some-
times we have speakers, other
times the Juniors put on programs
and we Juveniles help.
Once a year, four locals go to-
gether and have a large picnic. We
have games, races and other amuse-
ments, also some good speakers
and a big dinner at noon.
I like to go to the conventions
and listen to the programs and
speakers.
We Juveniles are making a book
of games to play at meetings.
We are going to study our les-
sons good so when we are grown
up we will know more about the~e
things than our parents did when
they Joined the Union.
I am glad that I am a Juvenile
because we have so many good
times together.
CO-OPS PROGRESS
IN ESTONIA
From the "Co-operative Consum-
er" we learn that "The first inter-
national shipment of Co-op Oils
left the compounding plant of thb
Consumers Co-operative association
at North Kansas City, Me., on
March 5th, destined for Estonia,
The shipment consisted of 66 bar-
rels of Co-Op oil, and was consigned
to the Estonian Cooperative Whole-
sale Society, which will distribute
it through its local member co-op-
eratives to the organized consum-
ers of that country.
"Estonia, nestled on the eastern
shore of the Baltic Sea is a tiny
country, less than one-third as
large as the state of Iowa, but
small as it is, Estonia is a most pro-
gressive country. One-quarter of
the population is organized in con-
sumers' co-operative societies!
There are 250 of these societies.
Also there are about 300 co-opera-
tive creameries, 90 potato associa-
tions, 300 peat societies, 380 mutual
Insurance societies and 210 co-op-
erative credit organizations in this
little country. Estonia is primarily
agricultural, 73% of the people be,
Ins farmers. Its first on.operative
was started in 1902."
This transaction was a result of
Mr. Cowden's attendance at the In-
ternational Co-operatlve Congress
in London last year, where he met
delegates of the Estonian co-opera-
tives.
Commenting further, the CoOper-
ative Consumer says, "The inter-
national character of the co.operat-
tire movement could be no better
demonstrated than by this act of
the Estonian cooperatives in reach-
ing far across the Atlantic to ae,
cure their petroleum products from
a co.operattve source. It is expect-
ed that with this beginning, trade
with the wholesale cooperatives of
other nations will soon be negotY
ated.
Give us imagination enough to
conceive; courage enough to will;
power enough to compel; and then,
the thing will be done.~WilllaM

NATIONAL CHARACTERS
THE CONSTITUTION
]By WILLIAM E. BORAI~
U. S. Senator From Idaho.
THE Constitution is the rule
which the people themselves
have established as a guide for
their agents in the discharge of their
trusteeship. There is ample power
within its provisions to enable the
servants of the people to meet all
emergencies In war or in peace. With-
tn its terms may be found full author-
ity to resist Communism, or Fascism,
or to deal with all emergencies Without
in any respect disregarding its limita-
tions and without surrendering the
liberty or forfeiting the rights of the
citizen.
This trend away from constitutioual
methods can never be arrested in any
other way ~han by aroused and well-
ustained public optnlon. In other
words, it is dlstlnetly the people's fight.
There ts little to be expected from
political parties. They are prone to
subordinate everything to party suc,
cess or to party expediency.
FREEDOM OR SOCIALISM
By OGDEN MILLS
Former Secretary of the Treasury.
WE CAN have a frcc country
or a socialistic one. We can-
not have both. Our economic sys-
tem cannot be half free and half so-
cialistic. Economic liberalism cannot
function under constant and arbitrary
government interference. Evidence of
the resulting breakdown accumulates
dally. A civilization built upon the pri-
vate ownership of property cannot sur-
vive the destruction of the substance
of ownership.
The conflict is as Irrepresslble as
was the slavery issue 75 years ago.
Now, as then, compromlses will be
suggested. Now, as then, they will
prove Illusory. Fundamentally an-
tagonistic principles cannot be com-
promised. Already we are suffering
from the attempt to do so. The de-
pression has been prolonged by the ex.
perimems borrowed from the Fascls;
~aboratory.
APPEAL TO GERMANY
By RAMSAY MacDONALD
Premier of Great Britain.
WHAT w{ll Germany do now?
She may be angry. I wish
he German people knew how
deeply grieved their most sympathetic
well-wishers are at their latest handling
of their grievances. I wish they could
see that it Is no~ only their duty but
their interest, not only to their honor
but to their wisdom, to"Join with other
nations and make an adequate contri-
bution to building up mutual trust and
confidence.
In any event, I am sure the Stresa
conference, If its spirit is preserved,
its decisions are pursued and its pur-
poses are not diverted, will be a def-
inite help in dispelling the clouds and
enabling the sun to shine through.
BIGGER PLANES
By IGOR SIKORSK~
Aircraft Designer,
IBELIEVE that the real future
of aviation lies in a little more
speed than we now have and in a
great deal more room and comfort.
With what we know already it is pos-
sible to build planes carrying 75 to
100 passengers, instead of the 32 for
whom our Clippers have accommoda-
tions, except on such long-range fllgbts
as the 2.400-mile Jump from California
to Honolulu.
Within another five years we will
have big flying boats in service that
will make even such long flights as
these--sufficient for the longest water
gap of either the Atlantic or the Pa-
cific--at cruising speeds of 200 miles an
hour with substantial loads of passe~
gets, mail and express.
NO PULASKi DAY
BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
GENERAL PULASKI was dis-
tinguished among the noble
company of those who gave their
all for freedom; some were Ameri-
cans; some were from countries across
the sea. I do not think that General
Pulaski would have wished to be sin-
gled out from his fellows and comrades
for more honor than we can give to
them all. Our tributes to the memory
of the officers who served on the staff
of General Washington will be the
more fitting and appropriate if we do
not seek to legislate separate memorial
days for each of them, however, ll.
lustrlous they may be.
For our own leader of the American
Revolution, the greatest of Americans,
and for him alone, have we as a peopl¢
set apart one day each year.
