4 Brief Summary Of
TodoY's National and
World News

Poland: Poland speaking
through the voice of Colonel
Beck rejected Germany's de-
mands against the Free City OF
Danzig. This was the first clear
note amongst all the European
uncertainty.
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1939-05-11

Germany: strengthened her
ties with the smaller nations
surrounding her European front
and the sections of the contin-
ent she hopes to dominate. On
Monday of this week it was an
ounced from Milan, Italy that II
Duce and Chancellor Hitler had
signed a full war treaty which
blinded both countries to sup
port the other in the event
either should become involved in
a war. It is expected that Italy
will now turn her full attention
to forcing the surrender of DAN
zig to Germany and the build
ing of a wide German road
through the Polish corridor.

Seeks Choice Between Liberty
League and Dizzy Deal.

To the Editor OF The Star.
The Liberty League, said Mr.. Roose-
velt in his Jackson Day address, still
exists for the purpose of receiving con-
tributions for political purposes.
But in reviving this pet New Deal
bogy, the President neglected to add
that the w. P. A., supported by indirect
assessments on every taxpayer, and the
social security fund, supported from the
pay envelopes of those still working and
used for general purposes, both exist
under the New Deal. For political ends?
No, for humanitarian purposes! AS An
drew Jackson might have conmuned to
modern brain truster.
One Of the majority partys last acts
before Congress adjourned last summer
was rejection of the proposal, backed
up by eloquent high-pressure oratory, to
vote politics out of relief.
AS between Liberty League and a
Dizzy Deal, where is the choice? Which
exhales the fresher aroma? Should
preference be based on which method
drags in the most votes? Or is all ex-
cused on the theory that If you fool
most of the people enough of the time
you will get reelected?

Likes Working for
Chain Grocery.
To the Editor Of The Star.

To the Editor Of The Star:
started working for the largest chain
grocery company in the country In 1921.
I worked for % days as clerk and the
salary was $2l week. Then was pro-
NOTED to manager OF the store making
an average salary OF $48 a week. I
worked at that position for two wears.
then I got the idea OF going into busi-
ness for myself, in which I was uns,,c-
cessful.
Then started to clerk for an inde-
pendent grocery concern for $40 a week
and worked for az years with no In
crease in salary.
liked the grocery business better than
any other business, so left my home
town and came to Washington in July,
1928, and secured a Job here as clerk with
chain grocery company. Here had
only clerked for three months and was
made manager of small store, stayed
In that position for five months and was
promoted to larger store with increased
salary which made my income an average
of $40 a week. I worked hard for ad-
vancement, getting an increase in salary,
and am now working in q larger, modern
store in same location. I am now aver
aging over $50 week.
We should not let unreasonable tax
laws destroy the chain stores. Such tax
alton would not only make me an un-
happy citizen but would similarly affect
thousands of others and would cause
many millions of people to suffer.

A Consequence of Crime

The history of organized crime in
other cities leaves no room for doubt
that jury tampering is apt to be one
Of its most vicious consequences, and
the disclosure of an alleged attempt
to influence the jury in the Warning
case, in the light OF past experience,
should not come as a complete sur
prise.
Crime on an organized scale can
not long be continued without cor
ruption Of public officials. The
bribing Of police officers is admitted
by the Warning brothers; advanced,
in fact, as defense to charges that
they failed to pay proper income
taxes. Now they are accused of
attempting to contact prospective
members of the jury that was to try
them for the alleged income tax
offenses. AS Justice Bolitha Laws
stated, their guilt of the jury tam
pering charge is yet to be established,
but If the necessary evidence on that
point should be forthcoming their
punishment should be Of such
severity as to discourage such
thoroughly reprehensible and dan
gerous practices in the future.
Elsewhere, large-scale criminal
operations often have resulted in the
bribing of prosecuting officials and
even Of judges. That, happily, is not
the case here. Justice Laws and
District Attorney Pine are to be
congratulated for the prompt and
decisive manner in which they have
acted and will continue to act in
this case.

year ago by Malcolm Macdonald and
Premier Eamon de Valera descends
again to scourge the British Isles
with violence and terror.
1t was lurid picture of conspiracy
to cripple Britain's commerce, gov
ernment and defense which a prose-
cutor painted in London's Bow Street
court yesterday in support Of charges
against IL men of conspiracy to cause
explosion.
If there is truth to the charges,
there Is under way a coldly calcu-
lated campaign of sabotage and de-
struction to intimidate the British
people into meeting the demands for
Irish reunion-return of Ulster to the
government Of Fire.
Utilities, commerce, banks, ship
ping, industry, agriculture, royal pal
aces, Parliament and government
buildings were marked for bombing
and arson, while defense preparations
air raid precautions and the ma
tional register Of manpower for war
time-were to be crippled, the prose-
cutor told the court.
In moments of international calm
the outrages were to be perpetrated
for their world propaganda effect,
and in moments of crisis and tension
to weaken Britain's hand in world
affairs, it is claimed, just as the
Fenian rebellion in the early years of
the World War knitted Britain from
behind.
Needless to say the acts of violence
tend to undermine the efforts Of
Premier de Valera to achieve Irish
reunion in the only way it can be
accomplished-by negotiation.
1t equally goes without saying, al
though Premier de Valera has made
it clear again, that the responsible
Irish elements now in control of the
Dublin government resent strongly
this conversion of the reunion cam
paign into bloody guerrilla war.
