Refinery expansion will keep
stride with the consumers demand
and each consumer and each service
station can do a part in helping
make Montana a better place to live
in and greatly help the unemploy-
ment of our people by using gaso-
line made from Montana crude.
The success of this campaign is
reflected in the fact that the de-
mand for Montana-made gasoline
has jumped to record figures, with
a proportion of 20 per cent Mon
tana-made 10 80 per cent imported
gasoline. There is only one large
importer that is not selling any
Mbnana-made gasoline or is not
preparing to handle Monana-made
gasoline. That company imported
some 12,0OO,0OO gallons last year
and is continuing its efforts to
stagnate the Montana oil industry
with imported gasoline, even though
it would be more profitable for 1t
to use at least part MOntana-made
gasoline.
People are rapidly awakening to
the benefits to be derived from
patronizing our own industrial in
situations and the product of our
own soil, as against buying from
other states while our own people
go unemployed.

Foes of Freedom.

According to the theory of radical re-
formers, the rich-"economic royalists"
and princes of privilege'-are the nat
ural enemies Of liberty. Once man has
wealth, it is argued, he becomes con-
servative, hates progress, desires to en-
slave the human race. The profit motive,
. gullible public is invited to believe,
prompts tyranny.
But st. John Ervine, writing in recent
issue of American Mercury, calls at
tention to the fact that each of the
most eminent dictators in Europe today
is Of working class origin" 1t is on
record that Mussolihi was blacksmith,
Hitler house painter and Stain the
son of a cobbler.

Admission Of Mistake
Deemed Wise Move.


MIR. ROOSEVELT'S complaint, made
AVA at a summer White House confer
ence, that the time has arrived to soft
pedal the name calling and allow busi-
ness to operate minus this long-standing
hazard, is timely advice. 1t Is to be
hoped his administration, which has been
the leading past offender and originated
this mode of solving the business crisis,
follows his belated but essential sugges-
ton.
The election primer Squanderings OF
1895. leading to the debacle of 1887
that politicians have been trying ener-
getically ever since to place at other doors
was influenced less by the attempt to
pack the court and make the New Deal
dominant than by the string OF TRADES OF
abuse against business-on scale with
ont precedent in American history or
politics.
Gratitude is expressed for this change
OF heart and outlook. The downtrodden,
of whom the administration for political
reasons has boasted itself the special
savior, should be the first to benefit.
Blame for the situation of the 10000 900
unemployed can no longer be alibied or
charged against industrial conspiracy or
corruption, but mere admission OF
mistake from onlcial sources should OF
itself be salutary-a factor more valuable
from this point on than any amount OF
pump printing, deficit financing or
transfer of further millions to strava-
ton relief basis.

VerbOten.

Since time immemorial "verboten"-
prohibited-has been almost as integral a
part of German life and language as
ia and Nein Eyes and no). Verboten
signs dot the landscape everywhere.
Since Nazi theology became the law of
the land, more things than ever have
been verboten, of course, among them
free speech, free press and the right
of free assembly.
One public pastime that was never
restricted was the privilege, not to say
the duty, of unlimited adulation of Adolf
Hitler But, since yesterday, Germans
may no longer say it with flowers. While
taking his triumphal way through the
annexed Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia
too well, with bunch of roses. The
censored press, releasing the news at
Berlin, was not permitted to say where
the incident occurred. The hurler
of the thorny posies got the range so
accurately that he struck the national
idol squarely in the face, happily not
nance seriously, but producing conse-
quences that caused the mighty verboten
machinery of the Reich to whir, fully
and promptly, into motion. And when
the Germans say verboten they don't
mean maybe. Henceforth Hitler may
not be "heiled" with roses or anything
that smells as sweet. They are strictly
verboten. 1t is officially explained that
the prohibition is not motivated by any
desire to dampen the natural enthusiasm
OF the people, but only by the possibility
that some Nazi super-zealot might some
day throw bouquet at the Fuehrer
with such unerring aim that Hitler's eye
sight would be impaired. Therefore, in
the future friends will please omit flowers.
Because of the time and place of the
episode which occasions Germany's
newest verboten decree, curiosity is nat
urally aroused as to whether the floral
tribute which struck the Chancellor was
a token of admiration or a missile on
more hostile purpose bent. Not since
Hitler and his putsch comrades were
under fire at Munich in 1923 is there any
public record of actual assaults on his
person, though there have been recur-
rent rumors of attempted assassination.
Attacks would be unlikely to occur in
Germany where the Fuehrer is not only
idolized by the populace, but is heavily
guarded and protected besides. But it
is different story in the surrendered
sections of Czechoslovakia, across which
he is now marching in the seven-league
boots of a conqueror.
1t is palpably with view to avoiding
ntoward events of any kind that
Premier General syrovy yesterday, in an
appeal to his army, pleaded with it, and,
through the army, to the whole Czecho-
slovak nation, not to commit any act
that might bring on intervention more
cruel than the present situation" for
what is left of the stricken republic.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES TRAcEWELL.

Evidently the genius Of the bird tribes
provides for certain less Of their num-
bers every year from what humans
vaguely describe as natural causes"
~
This belief in the ability of nature to
take care of her own, in the broad sense,
is real part Of the modern conservation
creed.
From time to time one will hear con-
servationists criticized for being too toler-
ant in this respect, but 1t is scarcely de-
served criticism; practically every one
who makes any extended study Of nature
comes to the safe and sane realization
that. mother nature does, indeed, in most
instances, know much better than man
how to run her own.
This means that almost every one who
makes any sincere study even In the most
limited way, of the things Of nature,
comes to feel that there Is far too much
meddling by man in natures affairs.
When we invent radio receiving set,
we are doing something outside nature,
but when we kill beavers we are striking
blow straight at the heart of the uni
versal mother, and in the long run
harming ourselves. The beavers, by liv-
ing their lives, and making their dams
and ponds, managed to keep the topog-
raphy of countryside right, in the nat
ural sense.
Beavers do their work well, both for
themselves and for nature, including the
terrain and the other inhabitants there
In, including the master, man.
1t Is instructive to note that modern
conservation has led public authorities to
reinstate beavers in many localities. to
help make the countryside more natural,
and therefore one where there would be
water conservation, with lessened chances
Of dust bowls" and the like.
4 ~
The idea OF the average person, so long
held, that anything which walks or flies
is put in the world for target for his
gun, is slowly being overcome.
People everywhere are coming to realize
that If we want nature to take care Of us,
we must take care Of her. and that the
one way all of us can do this is to realize
that 100 000, 900 people are "lot of peo-
ple," that If one of that number feels
that every time he sees hawk he has q
right to kill it, many others will take the

erty turns out to be license.
Feeding the birds in the home grounds
is particularly instructive sport for the
sportsman, in that 1t teaches him how
many and diverse are the creatures of
the air. and that all of them enjoy their
lives as well as he does his own. From
this elementary consideration he goes on
to become the only true conservationist,
since the power of life and death is in
his hands.
Many a man who has not thought
much about wild life, except to kill it.,
finds that after he has taken up a sub
urban home a new outlook on squirrels
and rabbits "and such small deer" comes
into his life.
At first he may be somewhat ashamed
Of his sentimentality. until at last he
realizes that 1t is not sentiment in con-
troll. but common sense, and an abiding
faith in nature
