both Nazi and military, who con-
slider the worlds general adherence
OF mechanical struggle as humani-
tartan sentimentality or sheer cow
ardice.
Nonetheless, no professional soldiers
cheerfully embark upon a probably
losing war The Germans intentions
can therefore be analyzed up to a cer-
tain point. Their immediate aim is
obviously to obtain submission Of
CZechoslovakia-if possible without
fighting
This might mean the annexation
merely Of part of the country by
Germany and Hungary and the en-
slavement of the rest, or submission
Of the entire country. This aim. which
Is fundamental to all German plans
of aggression and expansion and
dominion. need not necessarily be
realized all at once. If. for instance,
the Czechs under British pressure
would submit to constitutional changes
which. just as in Austria, permitted
gradual Nazi penetration into the
country the Germans might today
accept such semivictory and count on
time and new series of threats to
achieve the rest
But the present expensive show Of
military might obviously aims at such
a bloodless victory as minimum. If
the Czechs resist would the Germans
fight? Obviously, yes, if the Czechs
were to be deserted by the world
Then, unquestionably, after overcom-
ing the Czechs' heroic resistance the
"invincible German Army" could
achieve cheap victory.
But Germany has today been in
formed that France and Russia in
tend to assist the Czechs if the latter
are attacked. Will the Germans there
fore fight in this case?
Reich Seen Hesitation.
Here opinion is divided. Some ex-
cellent observers in Berlin think not
They believe the German rulers will
shrink before such a prospect. as the
German people is not psychologically
or materially prepared for war. They
say the fact that the French and Rus
slams are willing to fight would bring
about the entrance of Rumania AND
eventually that of Yugoslavia on their
side. Therefore, the Germans will
hesitate.
Other observers declare, however
that Germany is prepared to carry on
war against the Czechs,, the Soviets
and the French together, since the
Rumanians would, with the Yugoslavs
remain neutral and Poland would be
disposed to leap upon the Czech car
0ass.

that Sir Nevile's report was not too

Britain might send some sort Of con-

Ter now than one, three or five years
ago. It struck me as being a queer
complaint, because federal taxes
are higher; there are more Of them
in number and the rates on nearly
all the old ones are higher. Treas
ury figures show that the federal
government collected $3,115, 000, 900
in taxes five years ago. The same
official figures show collections of
more than 81, 100, 000, 900 three years
ago, and in the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1897, the collections were
announced as 1920, 100000 Then,
on June 30, this year, the official
figures recorded collections of
$6,240, 000,0 900. To be absolutely fair,
it must be considered that business
was at its lowest ebb five years
ago. Hence, tax payments were at
the lowest. But, without attempting
to cite all of the increases in rates
and new taxes invoked, new taxes
and new rates have been RESPONSE

which business carries.
It is important. also, in connec-
ton with the consideration of taxes
to call attention to the federal gov
ernment's budget condition. At the
end of September, when the first
quarter of the fiscal year was COM
pleted, there was a deficit Of more
than $500, 900, 900. The Treasury had
been called upon to pay out $780,
100000 more than it had taken in
by way Of taxes. If my country
school multiplication still serves
me, there is deficit indicated for
the current fiscal year of approx
mately $4,000, 100000 since there are
four quarters in each year. It may

enforcement units. Already in OPP

Religion
Last March, Just before Reichs-
fuehrer Adolf Hitler marched into
Austria, Vienna's Theodore Cardi-

for German annexation as means
of blocking Communism. Though
Cardinal Innitzer knew German
Catholics had suffered at the Reich's
hands, he pumped for Naziism be-
cause Herr Buerckel, Hitler's rep
resentative, had quoted the Saviour:

is Caesars and unto God that which
is Gods"
Criticized by the Vatican, Cardi-
nal Innitzer moreover was to learn
that Caesar" Hitler would take all
he could get, shearing every vestige
of power from the Catholic church.
Early in September the cardinal
protested when marriage was made
a state affair, when Catholic schools
were frowned upon, when Catholic
nuns were ousted from hospitals.

No breathing Spell'
Ever Has Taken Place

In the matter of a truce between
the government and industry, I be-
ieve I recall accurately the famous
breathing spelp' of several years
ago. Roy Howard, the Pittsburgh
and New York newspaper publish
er, wrote a letter in which he told
the President of the need for CO.
operation between the government
and business and suggested at the
same time how encouraging it
would be if business could be as
sured that government harass-
ment of business was at an end. If
I remember, Mr.. Roosevelt said in
his reply that the major portion of
his New Deal reforms was complet-
ed and there would be a breathing
SPELL" It was about that time, too,
that Vice President Garner was re-
ported to have said it was time to
let the cattle get fat; that they had
been chased around until they were
just skin and bones. He meant, of
course, that if business was going to
expand and re-employ workers, then
on relief, the government must quit
taking everything the employers re-
ceived. Well, neither the breath
ing spell' nor the fattening process
ever has taken place.
Further, reference might be made
to the fact that, not the white
House Spokesman" but numerous
spokesman for Mr.. Roosevelt have
been having great fun riding astride
the neck of business. One can re-
fer to the activities of Robert H.
Jackson, trust buster extraordinary;
to Thurman Arnold, who succeeded
to Mr.. Jackson's job in the depart
ment of justice; to William o. Doug
lass, or to Secretary Ickes. Each of
these has had several turns swing
ing a bludgeon at business men, and
they will swing them some more.
So, perhaps Mr.. Roosevelt's anal
ogy in which he compared the Eu-
ropean situation and settlement"
with the idea of a settlement be-
tween government and business was
not so far wrong. Perhaps the "set-
tlement' by which Hitler took over
great chunks of Czechoslovakia is
the way the authoritative sources"
or the white House Spokesman"
would have our government take
over most private industry.
Needs Encouragement From
Leaders in Public Life
The "White House Spokesman's"
suggestion about truce and CO.
operative effort between business
and government brought response
from Charles M. Hook, president Of
the National Association Of Manu-
facturers, who assured the Presi-
dent that "there will be no rafting
of sabers as far as the manufac-
t,rers are concerned" He said
there would be an upward surge in
business eff there is encouragement
from leaders in public life." ! am
not able to say what is meant by
the "no saber rafting" beyond the
obvious meaning of a willingness
to keep the collective business
mouth shut.
Actually, it appears the crux OF
the whole problem is to be found in
the fact that throughout the Roose-
welt administration there are many
officials who blab and blab and have
little or no idea of the matter they
are discussing, while on the business
side of the fence the fellows who
bop off most are incapable of far

mittee was instructed to retire and

During the intermission, Con-

address of the convention. He stated
his preference to being a rubber
stamp for the people than to be one
for the Morgans, Duponts and

talk he was cheered for fully five
minutes. He made many friends by
his talk, and the opinion was freely
expressed that the corporation tools
had overplayed their hand by ignor-
ing him by not placing him on one
of the committees.
The platform committee received
the sponsors of the progressive
planks with fishy stares and their
final report partially mentioned
silicosis and other o%ccupational
diseases and a few revisions in the

Butchers Thank Unions
For Active Support

Due to the efforts of Mr.. Pietzak,
international representative of the
Butcher Workers of North America,
the difficulty which has disturbed
the butchers union over a period
of several years, has been amicably
and definitely settled through the
arrival of a new charter No. 1876,
under which has been created a new
union of meat cutters in the uptown
district of Silver Bow county. Under
the new arrangement there will be
two locals affiliated with the Anal
gamated Meat Cutters in Silver Bow
county. The officers of Local 1876
were installed last Friday night at
a special session held in the Finlen
Hotel. The officers of the new union
are as follows: Orlo r. Thomas,
president; William Taylor, vice
president; James Lunney, financial
secretary and treasurer and business
agent; A. Charles Toy, recording and
corresponding secretary; Earl Ham
ilton, guide; Herb Rickerts, guard;
K. c. Olsen, sergeant-at-arms; Al
