OIL COMPANY
DISPLAYS WELL
FOR MEMBERS
Two-Day Open House Slated at
Property Near Great
Falls.

The Greater Great Falls Oil com
pany will hold open house to stock
holders of the company today and
Christmas day at its well Il miles
northwest of Great Falls on the Ben
ton Lake structure, according to G.
M. Roos of the company.
The well is now down 325 feet. A
thin sandstone was opened up carrying
q small flow of water and slight oil
showings, according to Mr.. Roos. The
water flow is about 10 barrels a day
and while not enough for drilling will
aid in operations by cutting hauling
costs to some extent.
The company officials expect to
reach the Dakota sandstone at about
400 feet and indications here are ex-
pected to be interesting from a geo.
logical point of view. Due to faulting,
the Dakota produces in some parts
of Cat Creek and the officials are in
terested in the effect of the f~aulting
on the Benton Lake structure. 1t
carries no production in the Kelvin
Sunburst.
The rig will be drilling both today
and Christmas day.

and similar amendments is predicted
generally. Senator King, democrat,
Utah, has a conference amendment
pending and the bill already contains
a house provision requesting the pres
ident to call another naval limitation
conference to deal with small vessels
and aircraft not regulated by the
Washington naval treaty.
The statement issued by Senator
Johnson tonight declared that what
Senator Borah had proposed was in
reality an abandonment of 'the ira
ditlonal policy of America
IAN economic par,ey,' said Senator
johnson, ''of necessity must consider
not only present conditions in Europe
but the debts due to US and, of course,
the PREPARATIONS due from Germany.

tons to discuss these subjects in order
to arrive at understandings and agree

can tolerate.

'If we bring the nations of the earth
here to Washington to such a confer
n we will dump into Americas lap
the economic ills of Europe and the
PREPARATIONS muddle. If officially we
sit down with the other nations, who
meet at our invitation, and reach an
understanding and agreement. we are
in honor bound to carry out an agree
ment TO enforce Preparations, that in
slant we abandon the traditional pol
icy of America. We become a part of
the European scheme of things and we
enter upon that course from which we
have so recently escaped and which
our people so overwhelmingly repu-
dated.
I'VE cannot officially with the ma
tons of Europe enter into agreements
for the solution of Europe's economic
ills without being involved politically
It's true we have troops on the Rhine,
The administration claims they are
there under the armistice. They ought
to be brought home. It's equally true
we have observers in Europe. But
having these troops on the Rhine, even
as / think w~rongfully. under existing
conditions and our observers in Europe
is a vastly different thing from beg
ging all Europe to come to Washing
ton to reach understandings and agree
ments in which officially we partici-
pate. and which in good faith we must
aid in executing.
THE difference is the difference
between the policy of Woodrow Wilson
and that Endorsed and approved by the
American people in 1920"

the other by the tenacious s~elflshness
of keeping material things.
Present Peace Fictitious
Between the lower and directing
classes, the pontiff notes. there IS
mutual competition to dominate, and,
therefore, frequent strikes, with both
sides contributing to the cause, together
with revolutions and riots, reaction and
repression, reign among men, almost
annihilating sentiments of mercy. char
ity and compassion, while the fictitious
peace written Oh paper has not yet re-
awakened those noble sentiments. in
deed, has embittered and almost
legitimatized the opposite sentiments
of rancor and revenge, making men lose
the sense Of personal dignity and OF
the value of human life. owing TO the
prevalence of brutal force and of over
whelming numbers.
Love of country" the encyclicat
says, "incites to many virtues n even
TO admirable heroisms, when 1t Is
guided by Christian law, but it incites
TO grave injustices when it ecomes
unchecked ~nationalism, when it torgets
that all people are brothers in the great
family of humanity: that other nations
have the. right to live and prosper. and
that it is never either wise or just to
separate what is honest from what IS
useful
The encyclical denounces atheism as
the deepest cause of the evils affecting
the world. as it separates men from
Christ. who said:
without me. We can do nothing.
