titan seventy million dollars, without

fields will be opened up in Montana.
Temporarily there is an uncer-
tainty in the marketing situation
that makes possible these oppor-
tunities. If the oil industry IN
Montana were booming, no such
bargains as are now obtainable
would be available. But with the
national situation as it is, can there
be any doubt about the future value
of barrel of oil?
AS the price of crude and of
gasoline advance, will not the prices
advance in Montana? The answer
is apparent.
With a few dollars and exercise
of ordinary business judgment, a
man can make a fortune for him
self here in Montana today.
If there is any who doubts this state
ment, let him read the current publica-
ton of this organization on a situation
in Northern Montana where we believe
our members win make more money than

We have long been watching situation

vanguard of the best brains of the oil
industry. There is little left to guessing,
as shown by our publication referred to.
We have made it possible for our
members to make a lot of money by
taking advantage of advance knowledge
of pending developments together with
an understanding of the reason for them.
We believe that we now have the
greatest opportunities in our history be-

be accorded like treatment, since the
ena ctment of legislation requiring
Federal obligations to be issued in the
future on q fully taxable basis, in COM

curities originating elsewhere, would

BY GASTON NERYAL.

IN RECENT months, newspA per
readers have become increasingly
familiar with reports Of economic
concessions, commercial deals and
publicity campaigns undertaken by
the two Fascist European powers
throughout the length Of the South
American continent. But a recent
Sunday edition OF metropolitan
daily carried no less than four differ
ent items capable OF arousing the
alarm Of any one interested in the
political future Of Latin America and
the preservation Of democracy in the
New World.
One dispatch. dated in Berlin, an
nounced that negotiations are now
IN progress which are expected to
lead to control OF the principal iron
ore mines in Brazil by Germany" and
went on to explain that the Third
Riech is particularly In need OF iron
ore and depends upon foreign coun-
tries for some 80 per cent or more OF
this raw material; that it suffers from
a shortage due to increased prices and
British competition in Sweden and
elsewhere, and that this has prompted
the German decision to attempt to Sc
cure control OF the Brazilian mines.
Another cable. from Rome, out
lined South American tour of an
Italian mission which would endeavor
Ito consolidate recent gains in Italian
trade with Argentina, Chile and other
Latin American countries and to pro-
mote = cultural interchange with
those countries"
Boring Into New World.
The story recalled the fact that as
part OF this cultural program the
Italian government grants cash prizes
annually to the best literary works
Of various South American nations,
but 1t failed. naturally, to point out
the implications Of an intellectual
interchange with 4 regimented and
censored "kultur" as must, Of neces-
sity. be the Fascist. Germany, too,
is interested in educational activities
in that part of the world. as may be
seen by the recent trips OF large groups
Of Chilean engineering students to
the most important scientific and In
dustrial institution of the Third
Reich at the expense of the Akade-
mischer Austauch of Berlin, and the
invitation for similar trips rendered
to students of other southern re-
publics.
Another report-this one from
Bogota-advised that the Colombian
government had begun the study of
a new commercial pact with Germany
which was intended to increase trade
between the two countries by introduce
ing the element OF barter for a number
Of Colombian products, like coffee,
platinum and oil, to be exchanged for
German manufactured goods.
The last OF the four dispatches
mentioned came from Rio de Janeiro
and told OF plan submitted to the
Brazilian Foreign Trade Board by
Gustav Schlotterer in the name of the
German government for the piling up
OF huge reserves of Brazilian raw
materials in convenient places In
Germany, so that they may be avail
