Danzig and Dusseldorf.

The contents of the Polish powder
keg," which is recognized as a menace
to the peace of Europe, were by no
means dampened by the results of the
elections in the free city" of Danzig
yesterday, after the bitterest contest
ever held there. The German Nazi
party-which has been thoroughly Or
ganized despite the theoretically inter-
national regime under which DanAg
Is now managed-won decisive VIC
tory. The National Socialists and their
allies, the Young Germans, gained
twenty-five seats in the Volkstad, or
Senate, which is the administrative
body Of the Free City, and on this basis
the next government of the area which
lies within the so-called Polish Corridor
will be in the control of the Hitlerites.
Two and a half years ago the Nazis
polled only about 32,5oo votes. In yes
terday's election they gained 323 per
cent.
Danzig is theoretically under the con-
troll OF the League of Nations. This
demonstration yesterday OF Nazi
strength in the Free City, however, is
likely to increase the tension between
Germany and Poland, possibly to the
point of demand from Berlin for the
physical as well as the partisan re-
union of this important Baltic port
with Germany. Therein lies the ele-
ment of danger that has for months
past been apprehended as a possible
cause Of conflict.
The Poles have for some time been
developing a port of their own at
Gdynia, lying a little to the northwest
of Danzig, thus giving them an undis-
puted and unrestricted point of COM
mercial contact with their foreign mar
kets and sources Of supply. But this
development has not lessened the peril
of disturbance over the anomalous situ-
alton at Danzig and the separation OF
East Prussia from Germany proper. The
Poles have been creating large armed
force, equipped, it Is understood, through
French cooperation. The Corridor Is
now well occupied by these troops. From
day to day, almost from hour to hour
there has been fear of some incident"
which would explode the powder keg.
It was perhaps only by coincidence
without design that yesterday also oc-
Cured a demonstration at Dusseldorf
of German militants. A cross was dedi-
Gated in honor of Albert Schlageter,
German whom the French executed as
a spy during the Ruhr occupation ten
years ago. Three hundred thousand
members of Nazi storm detachments
and Steel Helmets were assembled and
we're addressed by Capt. Hermann
Goering, Prussian premier, in substitu-
ton for Chancellor Hitler, whom pres
sure of business" had detained in Berlin.
Capt Goering's address was marked by
the note of peace. Schlageter, he said,
did not want conflict for the sake of
conflict. He wanted, said the premier,
peace for his nation "as all Germany
always wants peace, If only peace be
granted her"
Notwithstanding these pacific phrases
there was in Goerings address at Dus-
seldorf an expression of the Nazi prin-
ciple of a restoration of Germany to a
pre-war basis. That utterance, together
with the Danzig election, is token of
the serious possibilities which today
make Germany the center of attention
for all the nations of Europe.

Joyous Awakening.

Joyous Awakening.
One night I dreamt I was a King
Or Emperor, or some such thing,
And sat upon a gilded throne
And spoke up in naughty tone,
While courtiers knelt and flattered me-
And when I jested, laughed with glee,
And trembled, lest might, some day.
Chop off their heads or stop their pay
Another King came drifting nigh
He was a crude and husky guy.
The way he bluffed me was a shame,
He showed me where to sign my name
He did not hesitate to scoff;
He showed me just where 1 got of.
Stenographers next fiouted me,
My minstrels all sang off the key,
And when I Travelled forth in state
Some Communist would lie in wait,
Who aimed at me, and then get hissed
BY former friends, because he missed
Oh, welcome sound! Oh, sweet relief!
The Old Alarm Clock ends my grief.
Take back the scepter and the crown!
Just lead me to my job downtown!

One result the investigation CT the

the years 1881 and 1882, and that col
lectively they paid only $4S,000 in 1880,

writing off capital losses was response
BILE. The Mo.yan partners had merely
availed themselves of the provisions OF
the law. Undoubtedly they did no
more than many other wealthy men
had done. The House Ways and Means
Committee overnight wrote into the
tax provision of the public works and
industries bill provision to check such
operations, so that capital losses may
be deducted only in the year they are
suffered and only against capital gains.
The revelation regarding the income
taxes of the Morgan partners was no
more sensational than the publication
of the lists of favored clients of the
firm, who were permitted to purchase
stocks at prices much below the exist
ing market price. The investing public,
paying the market prices for these
securities, looks sourly on a system
which permits favored few to get in

General and member OF the board,
included Helena, Butte, Great Falls,

arrive In Helena this week from
one of the large distilleriea. The
board was to meet Wednesday to
select buildings at the various cit
les where stores would be located
