said, that any little incident now
might start some very serious COM
plications, and in the name of human
lily he pleaded that all possible pre-
caution be applied lest that should
happen.
More Ships.
The most immediate reason for
Chamberlain's speech was the re-
ported fact that Germany had greatly
augmented its fleet in Spanish waters;
there also was rumOr, less authentic,
that Italy had division of $4,000
trained soldiers in readiness for an
invasion of Spain on the side OF
General Franco and his rebel armies.
Nothing further was heard of this,
however. On the other hand, the fact
of the expanded German fleet was
verified, and it was understood that
neither the Germans nor the Italians
would attempt to prevent men and
munitions from abroad from reaching
Spain for the benefit of the rebels;
they would do all they could to stop
the inflow of support for the Span
ish government.
French Anxiety.
Last week it was twenty three years
since a pistol shot at Serajevo pre-
cipitated the world war, and eighteen
years since the treaty of Versailles,
terminating it, was signed. In many
countries people were asking: Are we
to go through such crisis again? One
gathers that it was especially in France
such fears found expression, but the
Frenchmen discovered measure of
comfort in the fact that the British
and the French squadronS in Spanish
waters are, in all respects, superior
to those of Germany and Italy. Only
and that filled the French with adj
ditional misgivings-Italy has ire
mendous air corps that can be moved
to Spain in the course of few hours,
and should that happen why, then,
of course, the danger of the entire
situation would become greatly in
tensified.
There was this, too, that member
of the grand council of the Italian
fascist party openly advised the gov
eminent to test its strength now; he
said it would be better to have a fight
with Great Britain at moment when
the British rearmament movement is
just Starting-at a moment when
Great Britain would not be adequate
| ly prepared for trouble. However,
no one seems to have taken this too
seriously, and the government at
Rome has not endorsed these views.
1t did something else, though, for
by royal decree it decided to make
Tripolis in North Africa naval base;
that was challenge to Great Britain,
for it means that Italy will exert
some degree of control of the en-
trance to the Suez Canal and the
Red Sea-and anybody attempting to
limit England's power at that region
is twisting the tail of the British lion
so effectively that he might emit
roar-and show his claws.
Prospects.
Serious as the general situation is,
involving not merely Spain, but
Great Britain, France, Germany and
Italy as well, it does not appear i'm
mediately threatening, and, so far,
it does seem as though statesmen are

TAXATION PROBLEM IMPORTANT
Editor Askov American:

fdltOr ASkOV American:
Guesses are being made as to who
will gain politically on the present
tax legislation. Party labels will not
mean very much in the next cam
paign unless each candidate individu-
ally has contributed something tan
eible to the tax problem. No one
party has monopoly on the final out
come, this is governed by the fact that
people of all classes are vitality af-
fected by the important issue of tax
alton. Boiling it down, taxation means
dollars and cents, and that means
self-preservation.
Up to very recent time people be-
lieved that prosperity came in cycles.
and that it was beyond the power and
scope of government to regulate pros
perity and depressions-this view was
fatal to all parties. The economic
growth and welfare of a state or
country can be controlled by legisla-
ton; the most important regulating
power is taxation, the levying of taxes
in a fair and equitable manner, so as
not to stifle legitimate business and
normal development and also to dis
courage bOOms and artificial develop
ments, which in the end will always
upset the industrial and financial
structure of a state or country.
The party that adopts a sound finan-
cial program, that will work and that
the public in general can see is work
able, will answer the purpose of a
party and government and will never
succumb although it may get setbacks,
due to conditions over which it had
no control. The idea of sOundness
means for the good of the whole in
it's true sense.
The advantages of modern civiliza-
ton cannot be enjoyed except under
favorable distribution of its products
Unless government functions in such
way as to facilitate the proper dis
tribution it has failed. The old prin-
ciples of honesty, ability, application
to work will always remain the same
and have the same weight.

BY eMON TANA LOU" GRILL
Granted permission to visit the
CHEYENNE Indian agency at Lame
Deer ia June, 1893, an Indian
soldier, whose English name was
Private Dan Stanley, refused TO
return when the permit expired.
The Indian had enlisted in troop
of the Eighth cavalry stationed
at Fort KeOgh.
to return to duty, so detachment
of the Indian troop was sent after
him. He refused to be taken back and
his Indian friends tntimated Uncle
Sam did not have soldiers enough TO
take him"
Circumstances attendant upon this
situation raised the much-debated
question whether 1t was possible 70
make O good regular soldier out OF
an indian. AS scouts they had no
peers. Indians friendly to the whites,
the Crows, and later the Cheyennes,
rendered valuable service to the mill
tary forces in the troublous days OF
eastern Montana during the eighties
and nineties. The most famous Of
these groups was the Lieut.. Casey
Scouts" composed largely Of Cheyenne
Indians, located at Fort Keogh.
In the beginning, the making OF
soldiers out of Indians was thought
to be one method of Fastening their
appreciation of the advantages Of a
more civilized state than was charac-
teristic Of the aborigines. 1t developed,
however, that discipline came hard to
the average Indian. He was a creature
OF emotions, although he appeared 10
be so Stolid. He was q being Of fits
and starts. When he made a dash
upon the warpath he wanted to re-
turn to his village for feast to COM
memorate his triumph and then enjoy
a period of lazirfesS. The Indian was
not capable of steadily observing rules
and regulations. Attention to details
became irksome to him. To the In
dian mind the fatigue and the police
work of q garrison were odiouS and

Former MA. Employe
 Wins Reconsideration
Compensation Claim Referred Back to Commissioner
 for Hearing, Action; Plaintiff Suffered Loss of Eye

ton to correct the finding in which he denied her claim.
 Suffered Injurey
 Judge Wynne says the motion 10 correct the finding and award should have been granted by Commission CT Lynch. The claimant alleges she lost the sight of an eye as a result of an injury while working for the Mutual Aid Employment Fund.
 "The commissioners conclusion is based on the opinions of doctors and if their opinions are based on g non-existent premise, then the commissioners conclusion is not logically drawn"
 "On the basis of all testimony in this case, it has been overwhelm- ingly established that the complain ants eye condition is due to the original injury" suffered January 21, 1885, while working for the Mu- tual Aid.
 Previous Ruling
 In a previous finding, Commis- sioner Lynch aWal ded the complain ant weekly compensation during her disability. The finding of Decem- Der 3l, 1936, however, denied that the present condition of the eye was the result of the original in- jury and the plaintiff could not recover of the respondent for her medical care.
 Under the terms of today's deci- sion by Judge Kenneth Wynnc, Commissioner Lynch will take fur ther action on the case.
