already declared, the democracies
must inevitably resist.
But cannot believe that any
such challenge is intended, for the
consequences Of war for the peoples
on either side would be so grave that
no government which has their in
terests at heart would lightly em-
bark upon them. Moreover, I re-
main convinced that there are no
differences, however serious, that
cannot be solved without recourse to
war by consultation and negotiation
as was laid down in the declaration
signed by Herr Hitler and myself at
Munich.
Let us then continue to pursue
the path of peace and conciliation,

limitation of arms let us continue

We have so often defined our atti-

Younger Pitt Also
Thinking over these things, I re-
call the fate of one of the greatest
Of my predecessors, the younger
Pitt. His interests lay at home in
the repair of the financial system
and in domestic reforms. But
events abroad cut short his ambi-
tions, and reluctantly, and after long
resisting his fate, he found himself
involved in what YVES up to then
the greatest war of our history.
Worn out by the struggle, he died
before success had crowned our eff

Is Rapid Now.

Progress in Rearmament
Is Rapid Now.
It is for this purpose, for the
purpose of defense and not of at
tack, that we are pursuing the task
of rearmament with unrelenting
vigor and with the full approval OF
the country.
It has taken a long time, so low
had our defenses fallen in the vain
hope that others would follow our
example, to get going the machinery
that had run down. But progress
now is being made more rapidly
every day in all directions. It is now
nearly three years since we started
on a very large program for re-
building and modernizing the fleet
To give you some idea of the extent
of this program I may tell you
that during the ~ months ending
on the 1st of next March some SO
new ships with a tonnage of about
10000 will have been added to the
navy. And for the ensuing II
months the addition will be even
larger-namely, about rs ships OF
$4,000 tons.
The Royal Air Force is also 60
ing ahead at an equally remarkable
rate. Large factory extensions have
been made, and huge new factories
have been or are being erected in
different parts Of the country. You
can see for yourselves what has
been done here in the Austin fac
tory and the immense new works
being erected by Lord Nuf1eld. In
addition we are continually increas-

Forest Service Pays
L-orge Sum to County

According to report just re-
leased by the forest service, So
53304 was turned back to Lincoln
county by the forest service as its
share of national forest receipts for
the last fiscal year. This is more
than any other county IN the state
received, the next highest being
Beaverhead county, which received
S6,79785.
Under the law, rs per cent of
national forest receipts is turned
back to the county where it origi-
mates. In addition to the rs per
cent, 10 per cent of the receipts
are expended in the county by the
forest service in building forest
roads and trails. This arrangement
was enacted into law SO as to COM
pensate the counties for taxes it is
supposed they would lose, because
of the taking out of private owner
ship large areas of land that would
pay taxes If privately owned. In
other words, the 1883 04 recently
received by Lincoln county is, in
effect, the same as tax receipts.
Since 1905 the total amount paid
to Lincoln county under this ar
rangement has been $224, 772 Sc
The 10 per cent for forest trails is
not included in this amount.

Goal Is N. \.
World S Fair
Start Move to Have Timber"
by Carl Expert Played ON
Montana Day.
PRODUCTION IDEAL
FOR THAT OCCASION

A movement is now under way
to have the symphony composed at
Libby last summer by Carl Expert,
played on Montana Day at the New
York Worlds Fair.
At date to be announced later,
the fair management will designate
some day as Montana Day, at which
time an appropriate program will
be given. What would be more fit
ting at that time than the rendition
of a symphony composed in the
mountains and forests of Montana
by a nationally known composer?
With that thought in mind, an at
tempt is being made to have Gov
ernor Ayers and other influential
Montana men write Grover Whalen,
president of the fair, and also Olin
Downs, chairman of music of the
fair, with the request that the SYM
phony be rendered on Montana Day.
Mr.. Expert has entitled the SYM
phony composed here, Symphony
No. 4 in Major Timber" 1t re-
auires 80 minutes to play and is
written for a symphony orchestra
of from 30 to ITO men. The story;

For years the front door of the

the lights with such force as to
break them loose thus causing Them
