Those pictures Of Norman Thomas
dodging rotten eggs and ripe tomatoes
at Newark on June are. within this
observers knowledge, the most dis
graceful and humiliating commentary
on the American scene ever to appear
in public prints. They will be re-
produced with fiendish glee in Ger

tator- ridden lands where untrammeled
expression is also conspicuous by its
absence. Just about the. time the

At the end Of June the United
States will have the honor Of welcom-
ing high government officials Of
Sweden and Finland, who are coming
to celebrate the tercentenary Of the
first Swedish Finnish landing on
American soil. The Stockholm cabinet
ministers and the speaker Of the lower
house Of the Riksdag, as well as the
speaker of the Finnish Parliament,
who will participate in the ceremonies
In Delaware and Pennsylvania, are
all members Of governments dominated
by Social Democrats. These govern
ments are typical Of the coalition
Socialist, Progressive and other radi-
cal regimes which today prevail
throughout northern Europe, and
whose political brethren are also po-
tent in the public life Of other Old
World democracies, including Great
Britain, France, Belgium, the Meth
erlands, Czechoslovakia and Switzer-
land. What tough break for our
eminent Swedish and Finnish Socialist
guests If they should venture to .cross
into Hagueland.

gesture was Intellectual, an irate
reader demonstrated that such plaud-

said constituent be assured there is
no scintilla Of sympathy here with
the things Earl Browder and Josef
Stain stand for. But there is even
less sympathy with the things Frank
Hague stands for. The present writer
believes that thinking Ameri-
cans, who in their overwhelming ma
jority are also incorrigibly anti-Red,
nevertheless subscribe to the dictum
Of Voltaire, who said on an undying
occasion: II disapprove Of every word

incidentally. it should be noted that
Senator Gillette had the solid backing
of the American Federation Of Labor

fore, is victory for a man who stood
up against sabotage of the Supreme

independent of White House domina-

fields showed little change.
Storage oil increased from

the oil running to storage is for use

two years began this week, the Mon
tana Highway Finance Committee
has announced.
A group of IL. selected by H.
J. Kelly of Kalispell, chairman of
the statewide committee of 81
named by Governor Roy E. Ayers,
decided to raise the needed money
by issuing highway debentures to
be redeemed from proceeds of the
five-cent a gallon state gasoline tax.
The plan was endorsed by the
committee, an. association Of citizens
interested in the Treasure states
development, as it does not mean
a new tax on Montana residents.
In effect. the committee said, issu-
ance of the debentures is like ear
marking So. 100000 of the money
the state will receive through the
gasoline tax.
To initiate the measure and bring
it to a vote of the people at the
general election November more
than $4,000 legal voters must sign
the initiative petitions now being
circulated. The petitions must be
signed, certified by county clerks
and filed with the secretary of state
at Helena not later than July 8.

proven areas in Turner Valley. This
is due to the widespread lease
ownership, high cost Of the wells
and the comparative dearth of cap1-
tai for development. Leases gem
orally carry ten percent gross roy
atty to the Government with addi-
tional over-rides of from 2 " % to
2Om to lease-holders or others.
Working interests are thus from
7O% to 90E. Practically no min
eral rights are owned in fee. Gov
ernment rentals are $1.0O per acre.

There are rumors that a number
of the American Majors are show
ing considerable interest in Canad-
ian development The Press has
recently carried stories to the ef-
feet that at least four companies
have geological parties out, have

Major is said to have bought sub
stantial interest in a large refining
and distributing company which op-
crates in Eastern Canada. Another
is said to be interested in at least
one well drilling in Southern Alber-

PUBLIC GETS BENEFIT

During the past Is years petro-
leum tecnologists have been able
to reduce by cents the cost Of
manufacturing a gallon of gasoline
from crude oil. Automobile own
er,s use about twenty billion gallons
of gasoline annually, so that the
savings from those recent manufac-
turing refinements amount to $780,
100000 annually. These savings
have been passed along to the con-
sumer, along with other substantial
savings resulting from improved
methods of producing crude petro-
leum. Today the price of gasoline,
exclusive of taxes, is approximate
ly half of what it was two decades
ago.
