HUGH JACKSON'S
LETTER
To My Fellow Piegans:

To My Fellow Piegans:
Not very long ago, l was talking
to a very responsible man, who
usually knows just about what is
going on in business way around
this community.
His veiwS of the new deal tribal
affairs, and the workings of the In
dian Bureau, are not what would
make partisan glow with pride
The gentleman was anything but
optimistic on the situation.
Well - we won't rub it in, so we
will just talk about our money.
In 1918 you members of this tribe
ran close to 10000 head of cattle on
this reservation.
You had so much money, a sec
ond bank, and directed by men of
Piegan blood, started business here
in Browning.
About this time the U. S. put on
liberty bond sales drive in your city,
and how you went over the topl
1t was outstanding in the whole
United States for community of a
similar size.
Come to think of it, some of your
Piegan boys were also going over
the top in a tartar away land, hell
hell bent for making it safe for de-
mocracy.
My Piegan clansmen, you had
cattle kings - bankers, and many
owners of U. S. govt bonds, and
some soldiers with good intentions
over the seas.
How wonderful a record, you sure
had the right stuff.
How come all the good showing?
And how did you get that way?
You had a very small agency force
who were as much at home in a
pair of chaps and spurs on a bronc
as you were.
They went along with you and
were not always trying to peddle
you any bulls of off color.
Your initiative was red hot, and
the Indian Bureau was your well
wiSher.
Today, the agency reservation is
a town in itself.

Mr.. Jack Duncan, Editor
Glacier County Chief
Dear Sir: IT,
Will you please publish this letter
in your paper. Thanks
Mary B. Salois.
To Members of the Blackfeet Tribe.
Again we have reached that all
important time in our tribal affairs
and life; when we are granted the
privilege of selecting 10 people to
govern US for the next two years.
We aptly call them the Blackfeet
Tribal Business Council. The aver
age member of our tribe. I think
take pride in their ability and privi-
dege to vote for whom they feel is
best suited to be entrusted with a
say in our affairs.
We are such a small unit in the
great Democracy of American peo-
pie and yet we have been told and
educated to think and feel ourselves
as real American" we have even
been declared citizens with string
attached to that, of course, con-
tend we can never square our
shoulders and declare ourselves as
such until we are free from the
shackles of an Indian Bureau" By
that l mean a system that has kept
the American Indian in subsection.
Just how much say have we I'M
der this. so-called reorganization
act. We were told we would be self
governing. think you can all see
the joke of it now. I'VE put our fell
low tribesmen on our Council and
we want to feel as tho we can de-
pend on them to adjust matters and
rectify wrongs, and what are we
told, 1--WE can't do anything. 1t will
have to go to Washington first. We
are always governed by some ruling
or another that is not in accor-
dance with our wishes, and we
seemed to be doomed to always bow
before the will of the white-man,
as he seems to be the only human
being capable of right thinking. Its
time we did something about it, and
show that we as a group of people
can solve our problems. Just give
us a square deal and in an Indian
country lets pull for Indian rule.
Our present council has been criti-
cized to high heaven. 1t was a tough
job they had picking up the reins
where their predecessors left off,
trying to put over this, Saga of the
New DEAL in the Wheeler-Howard
act. It took a regiment of Philadel-
phia lawyers to write it up and re-
wise it, and then send it to us, and
ask l3 mere men to put it into exc
cution, and they ask for a perfect
working machine in 2 years time.
Impossible, so let's quit picking
them to pieces. They have not

Furthermore, Senator Danaher
contends that under the admins
tration bill the whole financial sec
ton OF the proposed law will be in
operative unless the President shall
have issued his proclamation-an
the discretion is left to him. It is
true that, in section /, Congress is
given authority by concurrent reso-
luton to advise the President that
state OF war exists requiring the
issuance OF such proclamation
But the Connecticut Senator main
tains that a concurrent resolution
OF Congress has not the force of law
unless 1t is signed by the President.
Holds Proclamation Vital. :
The first eight sections of the bill
are entirely dependent. Senator
Danaher points out, for their opera
ton on the issuance of a proclama-
ton by the President and the dis
cretlon in the matter is entirely
his. The title-and-carry" provi-
slons, AS we'll as the financial trans
actions section, are included in the
first eight sections. The rest of the
bill, with the exception of the sec
ton which repeals the arms en-
barge and the existing Neutrality
Act, is almost word for word the
present law.
The arguments advanced by SEN
ator Danaher are indicative of
long struggle over details of the
bill, struggle which has not yet
really begun. Senator Barkley of
Kentucky, Democratic leader, is
urging that consideration of the
bill be speeded. Optimistic state
ments have been issued for a week
by managers of the bill, predicting
an early final disposition of the
measure. 1t is held by opponents
of the bill, however, that the fight
has not yet developed.

The big three of the axis-Hitler.
Berlin, according to latest reports,
before the middle of the next week
They will examine the situation
carefully and discuss definitely not
only what role each country is going
to take in their offensive against the
allies but also divide the spoils-that
is to say, sell the bears skin before
the bear has been killed.
1t is essential, according to re-
liable authorities, that the offensive
should start before All Saints Day.
After that weather conditions be-
come uncertain and large-scale air
plane operations difficult. AS the
situation stands now, Hitler is rely
ing chiefly on the striking power of
his aviation in order to strike fear
and terror among the soldiers and
the civilians in France and Britain.

According to reports received here
within the last 48 hours there seems
to be some misunderstanding be-
tween Germany and Russia regard
ing Finland. Not that the Germans
went to champion the cause of the
little republic, but they fear that
Russian attack on Finland might
bring into the present wars nations
which Herr Hitler wishes to remain
neutral.
There is a dissension regarding
the fundamentals of the war policies
of the two partners. Germany is
after destruction of the British En-
pire and urges Russia to contribute
toward that goal by acting with
her military might in the East-in
Iran and in India. Russia appears
not to care how many nations are
involved in the present confagra-
ton. The more the better for the
Communist ideology-the world
revolution.
Hitler is reported urging Russia
to have patience about Finland;
when the allies are downed he could
get to Finland and possibly to Nor
way without trouble. Stalin's Com
intern wants general war as soon
as possible.
The Italians are somewhat out
side the present combinations. They
intend to remain faithful to the
axis because they want to expand
their empire in Africa at the ex-
pense of the. French and British.
But Mussolini is reported to be
somewhat wary of the consequences
of the Stain ideas of making this
a general war.
X X X X
All these matters form at the
present moment the subject of ex-
changes of views between the three
governments. Next week they will
be discussed in full at conference
to be held in Germany.
1t is believed in unusually we'll
informed quarters that if the con-
ference is successful we might wit
ness a German mass attack on
the western front. The real war
will start then.

snti-aircraft guns is excellent
they need those weapons more
than anything else at the present
time.
But. they say, does this not apply
also to shells. artillery and tanks?
After all. shells are used to answer
the German guns-defending the
Maginot Line, so is the artillery
and the heavy machine guns which
are intended to repell the attack
of the German infantrymen. Sup
posing that weather conditions do
not permit large scale air operations
and the infantry and artillery are
brought into the play, would not
the group of belligerents be de-
fenseless if it lacked those weapons
while the enemy attacked?
In the other camp the ace flyers
broadcast is considered excellent
and in perfect keeping with this
country's neutrality idea.
The question of offensive and de-
fensive weapons wrecked every dis
armament conference in the past
No two nations had the same ideas
of what constitutes defensive or
an offensive weapon. Every nation
at the many conferences at Geneva
described as offensive weapons the
type in which they did not excel.
And no two nations were ever able
to agree what was and what was not
an offensive weapon.

The war fever is spreading to Red
Cross activities in the United States.
There are groups of women making
bandages and other such things for
the Red Cross. These women are
now frequently accused of being un-
neutral because of their Red Cross
activities.
1t appears that for the time being
the general headquarters at Geneva
have had requests for bandages from
Great Britain and France. Hence
the bulk. of the work done in this
country is going to those countries
through Geneva. Should Germany
apply for these war necessities the
Geneva headquarters would allot
part of the work done throughout
the world to Germany, too. Thus
bandages made by British and
French women may find their way
to the German field hospitals, while
work done by German women in this
country or in any other neutral
countries may be sent to the hos
pitals behind the Maginot lines.
