REFERENDUM NO. 40
A TEMPERANCE ACT

Referendum forty is a temper
ance, as well as a tax measure vital
to Montana" G. E. Mckay, Billings
president of the state hotel mems
association, said in a statement made
public in Billings today.
Hotel men, in their annual con-
vention, gave their unanimous sup
port to the measure.
Il am going to assume that the
figures used by opponents of refer
endum 40 as accurate, for l know
them to be sincere, though I be-
lieve, misinformed people," Mckay
said.
ut has been contended by oppo-
sition to the measure that the state
of Montana through its state stores
sold less liquor after referendum
forty than before when all liquor
was sold through state stores by the
package and not by the drink.
"That may we'll be true, people
who wanted one drink had to buy
a bottle. Today the man who wants
one drink can buy it. 1t is illegal
to carry partly filled liquor bottles.
So, it is reasonable to believe they
will be drunk empty. This cannot
promote temperance, and the hotel
men as well as all other thinking
groups favor temperance and in
support of referendum forty believe
they are helping achieve that end.
IN 1886, when liquor was pur-
chased by the package only, more
than five and one-half per cent of
all auto deaths were attributed to
drunken driving. In 1888 Lou Boo
decker, supervisor of the state high
way patrol, points out that less than
n per cent of all auto deaths are
caused by drunken driving.
IF referendum forty a achieve
this and add 1,161,9 O8 to state reve-
nues, it deserves every bit of sup
port it can get from thinking people
we want no return to bootleg
days" Mckay concluded.

Montana labor news., 1938-11-03

The material gains of the Russian
Revolution have been many. Be
cause of these gains, and because the
Soviet Union is SO obviously sincere
in its desire for world peace, West
r liberals have hesitated to admit
to themselves that there can be such
a study as the psychopathology of
relationships. Any laboratory
comparison of Hitler's or Mussolini's
monolithic system with Stalin's
might lead to unpleasant conclu-
sions. Fearful of providing re-
dictionaries with propogandistic am
munition, liberals have lodged a
comparison that must be made by
any sincere student of the phe-
nomena of power.
This has been singularly unfortu-
nate from the liberals own point of
view. For, although the average
liberal talks a lot about demo
cracy," he has no intellectual wea-
pons with which to defend or adj
vance his position. The liberal can't
advocate capitalist democracy, for
that system Gas we know it in Amer
ica) has resulted in a denial of eco
nomic freedom to millions. On the
other hand the liberal knows in his
heart that dictatorship, whether of
the Stain or Hitler variety, results
in a denial of political freedom to
everybody but the de-facto bosses
of the party machine. And since
the liberal is, by definition, inter
ested in all types of freedom, politi-
cal as well as economic, he is re-
duced in the arguments that rage
to the position of a hopeful cipher.
Nor will he ever transcend that role
until he dares adventure upon the
study of the psychopathology of die
tatorship. Such a study would not
lead him to reaction; it would, on
the contrary, lead him to a revived
interest in s~yndicalism, distributiv-
ism, guild socialism-all the radical
PHILOSOPHERS that once seemed to
promise a blend of both political
and economic freedom.-John Cham
berlain, in The New Republic, Octo-
Der IL.

What The Magazines
Are Saying

The doctrine of collective security
gave a dangerously false sense of
security to the weaker nations, to
China, to the succession states of
Central Europe, and TO the quasi
independent Kingdoms like Ethiopia.
Relieved of the fear of external in
tervention, relying upon the pledge
of collective defense, there was a
premium On the irresponsible be-
havior of these theoretically protect
ed states. They supposed that they
were insured against external dan
ger; thus there was removed n of
the strongest, perhaps the strongest,
inducement to undertake the re-
form of internal abuses and to sub
ordinate private, partisan, and class
ambitions to the national interests.
The Czechs felt that they could
afford the luxury of discriminating
against the Sudeten Germans in
Bohemia and against the Slovaks.
The Little Entente felt it could af-
ford the luxury Of continuing to
strangle the mutilated remains of
Austria and Hungary. The ETH
opians We're under no pressure to
remedy any of the vices and tyran-
MES of their primitive regime; they
had no urgent indueement to make
themselves reputable partners of the
society of nations in which they
hoped to enjoy the advantages. The
Chinese felt free to wallow in civil
war and the intrigues of their over
lords, and to waste their strength
and to postpone the effort at ma
tional consolidation. 1t was assumed
that by paying membership dues at
Geneva all were insured against the
normal, historic penalties that are
visited upon weak states that prac-
tice injustice and are complacent
about disorder.-Walter Lippman, in
The Yale Review, Summer 1888.

For all its uncouth ways of doing
things, the Soviet regime has been
accomplishing a number of essential
jobs, at an expense which ii is diff
cult to measure. 1t has given ire
mendous impetus to the industriali-
cation of Russia and to the utiliza-
ton of its natural resourcesl it has
done SO without mortgaging the
future of the country to foreign
creditors. 1t has outlined and in
part set going a system of social
welfare which may eventually Gre
ate real social security, once the
level of production permits it. 1t
has created in an unusual degree
equality of opportunity for the
present generation of youth, so pre-
pairing the way for use of the coun-
try's best human resources. 1t has
made great strides in combating
political forms Of exclusive national
ism, while leaving considerable lee
way for cultural development among
its many nationalities; it has been
working towards a new kind of
state, not based primarily on ma
tionalism. This experiment is doubly
significant at a time when exasper-
ated national feeling is heaping up
fresh dangers everywhere else in
Europe. The Soviet regime has or
gained the defense of its territory
in earnest; for the first time, Rus
sian armies are backed by an ade-
quate industrial system. Finally,
however, it may seek to preserve
International peace, whether through
isolation or through cooperation, the
Soviet government is among the de-
tenders of peace today, instead OF
being a factor of imperialist rivalry
and diplomatic instability.-Philip E.
Mosely, ibid.
