Directors Big Horn Dam
Association Hold Meeting

Hardin who attended the annual
meeting of the Southeastern Mon
tana Counties association at Miles
City, Last week, have been con-
tinuous in their praise Of the
work OF that association In behalf
of the people Of this part Of the
state and It Is felt that their full
appreciation Of the Importance of
the Big Horn dam to the lower
Yellowstone and to the people of
the Big Horn valley will have a
very decided effect on the attitude
to be taken by the war depart
ment and congress.
Besides being vitality necessary
to the irrigation of the valleys of
the lower Yellowstone and the Big
Horn, the damming of the Big
Horn would be a major factor in
silt control and the elimination of
flood damage and would also
make available for use in south
eastern Montana power at q cost
which would encourage increased

Talk on Chino
and Joponese
DR.. w. A. Petzoldt Addresses Hardin
Woman's Club on Horizon
In the Orient"

A AK by Df. w. A. PetZOldt OF
Lodge Grass to the Hardin Wom-
ans club at the public library last
Tuesday evening, left much food
for thought. The gist OF his talk
follows:
History is travelling in seven
league boots today. It is a time
Of great confusion and a time Of
revolution-even In the u. s. We
are passing through a period of
revolutions now-political, relig-
ious, agricultural, social and eco
nomic.
The events of the Orient are
bound to affect us as well as the
rest of the world. China, Japan,
India and the Dutch East Indies
have one-haf the population of
the world and are ill-favored in
natural resources. The Anglo
Saxon population is losing out.
and our population menace is
coming from the Orient. Japan
has the highest birth-rate and
the lowest death rate in the world.
Japan has inter-nationalized
her civilization. japanese are
poor inventors, but excellent imi-
tators. The AAA of japan is
adopt, adapt, adept. Japan
along with Germany and italy,
are have not nations. In con-
trast, the United States, England,
France and Russia are have
nations.
Japanese farms contain but
two and one-half acres on the
average. because only fifteen per
cent of the land Is arabic. The
country Is only about the size
of Montana, but contains SO, 1000, 900
people. She dreams of becoming
a world power. The CCC of Japan
is commerce. communism and
China.
Japan wishes to control North
China and control of the Chinese
government. If she does win.
foreigners will have to leave
Shanghai. Japan may win in
military engagements, but she is
bound to lose in the long run.
She has violated all agreements
and treaties. If nations can make
treaties and then openly violate
them-what security have we?
China has one-half billion peo-
ple-most in the woodland it
has the longest history. It is
twenty-nlne times the size of
Japan, but Japan believes that
10Y is the time to strike-now or
never.
Communism is the greatest
menace in the world today. Eu-
rope fears it most. If Russia
succeeds, democracy fails. Russia.
in future, will figure largest in
the affairs of Europe.
I'VE should stand for interna-
tionalism, brotherhood of man
and outlawry of war. The amend
ment proposed by Ludlow will
tighten the burden of paying for
wars. The one great hope Of
the world lies in what America
does. We are the wealthiest and
the most favored nation in the
world. The world is waiting to
see what we are going to do"

NEW YORK. April 27.-Stocks
idled by the wayside today after the
market had taken a brisk stride for
ward at the opening.
Gains of fractions to about 2 points
reversing a slow decline the last
few sessions-were held in face Of
apathetic buying, although most
shares had difficulty trying TO i'm
prove on the opening prices.
Trading dUindled after the early
squirt in orders and transactions again
footed up to only about 100000 shares.
Public interest seemed to have been
stimulated overnight by the pledge of
a group of prominent business men for
cooperation with the administration
on recovery efforts. Professional
traders, however, were content to wait
for more tangible reinsurance improv-
ing sentiment and business confidence
would be translated into production
gains.
Corporate and United States Co..
ernment bonds perked up a bit with
stocks. Major commodities walked a
narrow path. wheat at Chicago fin
ishing s. to Is lower. while corn was
down Il to as of a cent a bushel.
Quick to respond to buying, although
early gains were pared before the
finish were United States Steel. Beth

Aircraft. Johns-Manville. Du Pont.
International Nickel, Consolidated
Edison, United Aircraft, Standard Oil

Much favorable comment came out
OF financial sources on Washington
developments, which were interpreted
as intended to embolden business to
borrow from the huge supply Of DO
tential credit placed at disposal of
industry under the loan expansion
aspects Of the administration recoy.

But quarterly earnings statements
and comment of executives in corpo-
rate meetings kept realities of the
business slump before the market.
Rated by brokers as pleasant
surprise to most Wall Streeters was
United States Steel's first-quarter
earnings report, showing a smaller
loss for the period than had been pre-
dicted generally. Analysts noted,
however, depreciation charges were
less than in the same 1887 period.
Significant of widespread inventory
reduction in recent months, business
observers noted, was the fact big
steeel's shipments in the first three
months ran ahead of production.
But Wall Street was reminded Of a
sharp decline in backlogs of producers
in the heavier lines of industry by
Westinghouse Electric's report that
untitled orders at the end of March
totaled s53,555,900, against $685.
