NOT GOVERNMENT
SPONSORED

Italians, Germans, South Amer
leans, including the Portuguese
speaking Brazilians got samples of
it. A Russian translation was omit
ted, for no announced reason.
Russia is pledged not to propa-
gandize the United States with
Communism and perhaps the broad
casting company felt it would be
only tit-for-tat to avoid propaganda
izing Russia with democracy.
The idea of going straight to the
people via radio has been used by
Italy to stir the wild Arabs against
England and recently England is
reported ready to ship free radios
to Palestine so she can say word
or two in self-defense.
There is no reason to doubt the
statement of the broadcasting COM
pany and the State Department that
the government had nothing to dc
with this multi-language distribu-
ton of the Presidents speech. New
ertheless the effect will be to have
it distributed right in the front room
of the subjects of Hitler, Mussolini
and Vargas, or at least to those
subjects enjoying sufficient of the
abundant of life to have radios.

Congress on the Spot

philadelphia Record
Nero'S fiddling while Rome burned is more
shocking as picture of responsibility than the
impotence of the Congress of the United States
during the recent special session-while recession
was marching on.
When the members of the Senate and House of
Representatives got back to the Capitol for the
opening of the 1888 session, they found themselves
on the spot.
They were elected in the 1886 landslide upon their
Joint promises to continue. the New Deal
They repudiated those promises in the long 1887
regular session. The very Tories who were defeated
at the polls in 1886 rode high wide and handsome on
Capitol Hill in 1887
Congress must share responsibility, therefore, for
the recession which gathered momentum as
result
Summoned in special session by the President in
mid November to take steps to check the slump
that Congress dawded with a contempt unma tched
since the do-nothing days of the Hoover panic
Nineteen thirty-eight is here
Congress must either redeem itself now
Or the American people will get new Congress
next fall

The Claw Behind the Purr
New York World telegram


Some are saying the foreign relations portion
of the Presidents message to Congress was anti
climax. His Chicago speech, they contend,
much stronger
If mere words considered, that is true. The
Chicago address had ring which the message COM
pletely lacked But in judgment foreign offices
across the Atlantic and Pacific will heed the latter
more than the former.
At Chicago President Roosevelt denounced world
outlawry in singing phrases and said something ought
to be done about it. But he did not say just what
He not at all specific.
On Capitol Hill his tone quiet as the purr
of cat but behind the purr he showed claws He
promised more effective navy
We desire to live at peace with other nations, he
said in effect and fully determined to do so if
they will let u.s. Unfortunately cannot be sure
that they will Some very powerful international
gangsters now the rampage in the little world
community of which part. Our job, there
fore, he said is to make certain they let us alone
And the way to do it is Ito keep ourselves adequately
strong in self defense"
To nations whose policy, like ours is peace such
words are mild indeed. But unless miss guess
gangster nations will completely overlook the purr
and the claws. There times when a quiet
word, sincerely spoken, will carry warning than
a table pounding Grafton.

IN SEVERAL LANGUAGES

To be sure, it is fairly indirect
suggestion, that peoplue under die
tatorships are in real danger of
trouble within and without but it
might be remembered that a more
direct reminder could bring diplo-
matte repercussions.
In the days of Woodrow Wilson
it was hard enough to deliver the
Presidents idea to the German
people but in these modern days of
short wave radio it presents fewer
problems. One broadcasting COM
pany announced publicly that it
would broadcast the President S
speech in several languages, and
at such hours thatall prospective
listeners would be awake, even if not
ready and willing listeners.

DRAKE Mine
taken over
BY new FIRM

DIXON-Discovery of a consider
able body of gold bearing ore in
the old upper workings of the
Drake property on Revais creek,
six miles southwest of Dixon, Mont.
is reported by Earl F. Elstone, min
ing engineer of Maxville, and H.
B. Reser. mining man Of Dixon.
1T is believed that the company
will be able to ship this ore until
such time as copper ore, which is
the base ore, can again be market
ed. Elstone and Reser are organ
izing a company to take over the
interest of A. B. Hall, the present
lessee. Just enough stock will be
sold to put the mine in operation.
A large body of copper ore, car
rying also silver, gold, platinum in
paying quantities, will be blocked
out and made ready for shipment
as soon as this type of ore can a.
gain be marketed.
Later ON a mill will be purchased
and used to run ore for all the
small mines in the district. This
has shipped ore for the
past several years and has more
ore in sight, owners say.
than ever before.

Mine OWNERS
ASK help TO
MARKET ORES

A hundred independent mine OPP
orators of Helena district have
formed an organization to take
steps. to force quick mediation of
the labor trouble at the East Hell
ena smelter of the American Smelt-
ing and Refining Co.
Governmental agencies have been
called upon to act quickly, because
thousands of men have been thrown
out OF employment, owing to the
inability of shippers to market their
ore. The newly organized associa-
ton is striving to get emergency
railroad rates which will allow min
ers to ship their ore to outside
pending settlement of the
dispute.
The smelter was shut down when
employees refused to accept a cut of
so cents a day in wages. Only $50
men are affected at the smelter
but the inability to ship ore has
forced idlness on several thousand
miners and others. Judge George
W. Padbury, Jr., and Charles R.
Brazier are negotiating with var
ious parties at interest in an effort
to bring about a settlement.

Montana, and the gold ballion to
the United States Mint.
All work of the Marietta is
through an incline shaft and Winze
down to the 500 foot level. There
are approximately 400 feet of I'M
derground workings. At the Feb
ruary 18th meeting of stockholders
Mr.. John B. Platts, mining en-
gineer and geologist for the com
pany, reported: az think they
should deepen the winze as soon as
the water is out and get the next
level started. There are two urgent
reasons for going deeper as fast as
possible-to get more Of the rich
ore near the fault and the shaft
and to get the downward extension
of the ore on the 400 level north.
The vein on the 400 north Is much
better than on the 800 or 200 main
levels. Evidently, the vein in that
part of the mine is increasing in
size and value with depth
Second Ore Body
The wisdom of Mr. Platts' report
is being shown at the present time
with the new level opened on the
500 with the drift to the north In
good milling ore. Drifting to the
south to a point where a raise was
started to connect with the main
shaft has opened the vein across
a fault zone which heretofore had
been considered the boundary of the
ore zone. This new strike has
opened new possibilities for MARI
eta in that it may mean two ore
bodies Wehere only one had been
anticipated. The work of extending
the raise to the bottom Of the
shaft has been going steadily a.
head and it is expected that this
will be completed within a short
time. Ore will then be removed
through the main shaft from the
500 level. A new pump was re-
,ently ordered to facilitate handling
If the water from this level.

Formerly the crushing and grind
ing equipment of the mill was To-
Gated at the mine, while the cyanide
plant was 1000 feet away, this
being necessary because the mine
is on the Butte City watershed.
Now the grinding and classification
equipment has been moved to the
cynide plant, and the crushed ore
is being hauled in trucks. Greater
economy and improved recovery are
reported The flow sheet has been
changed and a heating plant and
other equipment installed. A dta-
mond drill was recently purchased
and other machinery will be bought
including a tractor for road inn
provement and motor for mime
haulage. The company kept four
and is now engaged in widening,
grading and draining this road. Ad-
ditional camp buildings will be built
and many Improvements made
which have been postponed until ,
justified by mine development. (
Several thousand tons of tailings
from previous operations can be
retT'eated and it is planned to in
stall a plant near the mill for pre-
limnary treatment this year.
