Asks Complete Abolition
Admitting that in the last war
Britain had found it impossible to
maintain submarines in defensive
positions solely. he put forward
an unqualified demand for their
complete abolition, stating that
they constituted a definite men.
ace even to the health and safety
of the crews which operate them.
Speaking on behalf Of the
United States, Secretary of State
Henry L. Stimson then put for.
ward an urgent plea for subma
rine abolition, leaving no alterna-
tive to removing undersea craft
entirely from the fleets Of the
world.
Denying the contention that sub
marines were purely defensive
arms, he declared that to sane
tior their use would be q con
tradiction Of the purposes for
which we have met"
The essential objection of the
submarine" he said, is that 1t
is a weapon particularly suscep.
tible to abuse. that it is SuScep-
ti5le Of use against merchant
ships in a way that violates alike
the laws of war and the dictates
of humanity"
Use In Last War Cited
Submarines during the last
war, the, American chief dele
gate declared, "reTolted the con-
science of the world" and were
directly responsible for having
forced the United States into the
conflict.
Stimson'S speech was a severe
indictment of the subsea craft.
The argument that the sub
marine Is a purely defensive
weapon" he said, seems to us
difficult to- reconcile with the Of.
fenSive use which has been made
Of it at great distances from its
home ports"
Hlgh Costs Pointed Out
He declared the contention that
the submarine Is a less costly
weapon affording a maximum of
strategic value for a minimum
outlay, must be considered in the
light Of the knowledge that ton
for ton submarine is more costly
than any type Ct surface craft and
twice as costly as the largest ships

OF war, the abuses of which were

be a contradiction of the purposes

I am not speaking of theory

and a fact which human ex'

repeated.
THE essential objection to the
submarine is that it is a weapon
particularly susceptible to abuse
that it is susceptible of use
against merchant ships in a wav

These considerations convince
us that technical arguments

JOIN FARGO CLINIC

1t was learned with regret this
week that Doctor c. B. Larson,
who has practiced here for the
last seven years is planning to
leave Wolf Point in the near fu-
ture. He expects to spend a year
ahrood in study and at the end
of that time will be associated
with the\ Fargo clinic.
Doctor Larson says he is leav-
ing Wolf Point, not because he
is dissatisfied with the town or
with the practice which has been
his, but because the opportunity
offered is such\ that he cannot af-
ford TO pass it by. For this ca
son the regret that is felt by
friends of DR.. and Mrs. Larson
because of their going will be
mingled with congratulations that
they are going where there will
be a larger field for service.
The contemplated change will
lot be made for several weeks.
Doctor Larson says he has not
yet secured a physician to take
over his practice here.

FARM BOARD MAKES NO
SPECIAL REQUIREMENT

The individual farmer need not
belong to any other organization
than his W elevator Or other
commodity cooperative to secure
assistance from the Federal Farm
board, says a recent press release
from the Federal Farm board.
The release says further: 1t is
impossible for the board to deal
direct with the individual farmer.
Under the terms of the agricul-
tural marketing act, the board
may, with exception not important
1ere. lend only to cooperative as
sociations which are ruaSified un-
der the Capper-Volstead act ~fof
1912.
Many of the farmers elevators
y the state are organized under
this act some of the requirements
being,
"a No member is allowed more
han one vote because OF the
mount Of stock OF membership
capital he may own therein; or
(2) That the association does
not pay dividends on stock o.
membership capital in excess of
eight per cent per annum.
Another requirement OF the act
is that the association shall not
deal in the products of non-nem-
bers to an amount greater in val
lie than such as are handled by
it for members.

FILE INCOME TAX
RETURNS EARLY

The collector of internal reven,
.ue for the district of Montana an
nounces that the income tax
blanks for the year 1929 are be-
ing mailed to all taxpayers.
Since the income tax returns
were printed, Congress passed a
joint resolution reducing the nor
NAL income tax for the calendar
year 1929. Accordingly, colored
slips have been inserted with all
blanks, giving instructions rela
tive to the reduced rates. The
formula for computing the new
rates, which apply only to nor

from the rates shown on the

The annual ball of the Wolf
Point Fire department will be
held Friday night, February IA,
at the Coliseum. 1t will be the
18th occasion for this big yearly
social time which has become a
community event of much interest
and pleasure. Everybody from a
wide radius attends the Firemen's

men do their utmost, night OF
day, cold or hot, to protect u
property when it is in danger
from fire that usually is the re-
suit of somebody's carelessness.
But only once a year does the de-
partment ask the patronage Of
the general public to bolster the
funds essential to maintaining
equipment.

had advised the Times that addi-
tional applications for the position
of census enumerators in this dis
trict are desired. Persons who
wish appointment as enumerators
should write Immediately to the
director of the census, Washing
ton, d. c., who will forward to

forms.
Census operations are scheduled
to begin April l, and it is expect
ed that a considerable force of
enumerators will be required for
the task, which will probably be
completed within 80 days. A long
er time will be required to make
a complete check and compilation
of data.
1t is believed that an enumer-
ator will be able to earn from SIS

FIRE AT OLD TOWN
IN AGENCY GARAGE

Last Saturday morning when
Arthur Pratt, sub-farmer at the
government agency, vas endeavor-
ing to start his car by heating
the engine with live Goals, a fire
was accidentally started in the
agency garage which entirely de-
stroyed the interior of this build
ing.
The old blacksmith shop at
Oldtown had been used al a gar
age since it was abandoned as a
blacksmith shop. The call for the
fire department was answered at
once, but the men were handicap
ped by lack of water and could
only throw 10Y on the blaze.
They were thus able to confine
the fire to the one building. The
ewo lars, that belonging to DR..
Veldhuis and the one used by
Mr.. Pratt were both gotten out
of the building. DR.. Veldhuis' car
not injured, but that of the
sub-farmer was badly damaged as
it was afire when taken Ont.
The extreme cold weather, with
the mercury lowering around 20
below made it more difficult to
fight the fire, and it was a long
time before the firemen felt it
safe to leave the building. For
tunately there was no wind.
Through the kindness Of Mrs.
George Donehoo, assisted by Mrs.
Martin Mitchell and the Misses
the firemen were served
hot coffee and cookies, a
courtesy which was thoroughly ap-
preciated as some of the men
a l.l aad breakfast.

paving him $500 for same. The
transaction is alleged to have tax
en- place back of the Legion hall.
Thorp proved by witnesses that
while he was in Poplar on the
dav previous to that charged IN
the complaint he was in McCone
county all of the day on which
the crime is alleged to have tax
en- place. Lack of sufficient evil
dence on which to base prosecu-

local oil and gas field. The trus-
tees, A. T. Listug, o. T. Stennes
and f. E. Rathert have cores
pended with Jones and Perkins
for some time and have secured
leases on a large acreage. They
are still taking leases on land
within the supposed limits of the
field.

Jones and Perkins finance the
whole enterprise of drilling wells
and piping the gas in c%onsidera-
ton of an 8715 percent interest
in the leases. The remaining 1914
percent is owned by the land
holder. The company agrees to
at least three wells whether
gas is struck or not, If gas is
found enough wells will be sunk
to prove the extent Of the field
and estimate the amount Of gas
it holds. Where the first well is
put down will depend, Mr.. Jones

GEORGE CALDWELL IN TOWN

George Caldwell, who resides
south of Frazer, in the northwest
corner of McCone county, was in
town this week and subscribed
for The Herald for Fred Hauck
and himself. When questioned
about his 1929 crop Mr.. Caldwell
told of good results on a small
field of laid over breaking with
which he took special pains and
which yielded IL bushels per
acre. The experiment convinced
him that at least a fair yield can
be produced on laid over sod al
most any season.
