Nearly 900 dividends due
creditors of the now defunct
Banking Corporation of Mon
tana that was established in,
Helena are begging for takers,
according to w. A. Brown, state
examiner. Most of the dividends
are small, Brown said, but the
department would like to have
the creditors claim them so the
states books can be cleared.
The creditors mostly are Helena

Montana's $4,000 aged needy for
July, August and September
will average $1s, as compared
with SIT for the three previous
months and $20.55 before April,
according to I. M. Brandjord,
administrator for the state pub
lie welfare board.
The reduction during April,
May and June was necessary
because the legislature did not
appropriate the amount the
welfare board needed for that
period. "A steady increase in the
number of aged needy receiving
assistance, coupled with an APP
preparation the same as for the
last two years, made it neces-
Sary for the welfare board to
keep July, August and Septem-
her payments below the pre-
vious 20.55 average.

to do away with all references
to "unfavorable" trade balances
in favor of the term export
balance"
Pulling words instead of wool
over the public's eyes offers
many interesting possibilities.
But the individual citizen, at
any rate. would enjoy only a
brief spell of trying to main
tain an export balance" for a
bank account, or trying to sell
the rilkman on the idea that
his bill was merely an invest
ment," before he was rudely
awakened to the fact that words
are really supposed to mean
what they say after all.

however, that Congress has
"appealed" the verdict and
started an investigation of it's
own.
And the facts being un-
earthed by the Congressional
investigating committee are
burning a lot of highly placed
ears in the administration. The
outcome of the probe at the
Capitol may surprise a lot of
the spending advocates.
On the subject of ~investiga-
tions, there is another phase
that rates more than just a
side light. It concerns a brand
new plan being perfected by the
liberal element of the admins
tration, designed to fill in the
breach between where the Con-
Stitution leaves off ana the de-
sires of the liberals begin.
For some years now the lib
eral wing has been blocked in
some of its ambitious efforts by
the simple fact that there is a
Constitution and courts to in
terpret it. What bothered this
group was that the interpreta :
ton could be made flexible
enough to, in effect, put a man
in jail just because he was op-
posed to this plan or that:
To circumvent this bother
some situation, the liberal plan
mers are going to bring the ex-
pedient of investigations" in
to play. If evidence cannot be
found to prosecute a "trouble-
some" TAXPAYER on a legal
charge, a special branch of one
the government departments
will simply keen the taxpayer
under investigation"
Washington is worrying now
adayS about bad" words-not
the profanity sometimes occaS-
toned by a rapidly climbing
thermometer, but bad" words
from an economic point of view
It all started when one OF the
New Deal advisers with time on
his hands prepared a confiden-
tial memorandum for the use OF
witnesses appearing before Con-
gressional committees.
The list of good" and bad
words is to aid witnesses in pre-
senting their testimony so that
current governmental activities
now in the doghouse of public
opinion will appear in a better
light. Thus, witnesses are eau
toned never, never to speak
of government spending." Cal

ses" or government plant" the
Woodward advises. And DOM

administration is growing
nm popularity around Washing
ton.
First to try it, of course, was
the WPA. When serious charges
were made against the relief
spending agency several months
ago, the WPA Immediately set
out to investigate itself. The
result (if you haven't already
anticipated the answer, was a
reputation of the charges. Said
the WPA: These charge are not
true. We have carefully investi-
gated ourselves and our verdict
is mot guilty."
Now the AAA, the plow-under
practitioner, has set out to play
the role of defendant, defender,
prosecutor, Judge and jury ali
at the same time. In other
words, it is another self-inveSti-
cation. The charges here, as in
WPA, center about political &C
tivity by government agents
and the use of Federal funds
for political attainment.
AS some at the Capitol see
this administration practice,
it even over-ShadoWS the dual
accomplishments of the Nation
al Labor Relations Board which
has thus far managed to sit
simultaneously only as prose-
cutor, judge and jury. The self
investigators have added de-
PENDANT and defender to the
list.

And What
They Do
japanese Upset Most
Gratifying to Old
Foe of MiIitorists
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

NEW YORK, Aug. Silt was
after the retirement of Gen. Kaz-
ushige Ugaki as war minister in 1881
that the militarists gained their
ascendancy. From 1925 on, he had
fought them stubbornly. It is his
field day as the Soviet-Reich hook
up blasts world power equations and
leaves Japan out on a limb.
Always an of f-stage power In the
nation, in Office or out, he has been
the political mentor of Gen. No.
buyuki Abe, the new premier, and
the latter's elevation Is attributed
to his effective insistence that ia
pan now incline her policy away
from the axis and toward Britain.
Both have contended for conciliation
and cooperation with the demo-
cratic powers.
This must be particularly pain
full apostasy to the army caste, for
the stubby little moon-faced Gen.
Ugaki looks and talks more like q
sword-rattler than any of the root
hog -or-die army men. But what he
says is something else again.
Schooled in the philosophy and tech
niques of Occidental democracy, he
has denounced the military for try
ing to drag Japan into medieval
feudalism. All this aroused danger
GUS enmity. In 1882 the police
nipped plot to assassinate him.
Recruiting deep under-currents of
liberal support, he has kept strong
influence, even during the years Of
the Asiatic outreach. In May. 1888,
the army men ended his brief turn
as foreign minister.
He is 50 years old. 50 years In the
army, with heavy white moustache
and ruching of white hair at the
back Of his shiny. bald head He
lives in an old house and wears
a shabby old coat Of pre-Samurai
vintage. He speaks quaint English,
but, in his own language. is a pow
erful and persuasive orator. He Is
the center of a group of economists
who have been asking when and
how Japan will meet the final ac-
counting in her still profitless ag-
gression. Several times the army
has blocked his life ambition to be
premier and it may be that he will
remain silent artiflcer of national
destiny. AS in the old Rufus Ras-
tus' song, he asks, What yuh gonna
say? How yuh gonna pay? You'll
never have a bit of sense till judg-
ment day"

put through amendments to the
present Neutrality Act, particularly
a repeal to the mandatory embargo,
desired by the administration.
Mr.. johnson, in his address to the
veterans, asserted that minorities in
Congress, the Republicans and anti
administration Democrats, played
politics when peace was in the bal
ance and men may die as a result.
He further charged that mainte-
nance OF the arms embargo was a
discrimination in favor of Germany
that it was direct move encourag-
ing war" and very nearly equivalent
to presenting Germany with an At
lantic fleet. This was strong Ian
guage. The President, asked to

revise the Neutrality Act and called

ent crisis.
Majority Spoke.
Probably only the fact that Con-
gress is not in session prevents
strongly worded answers from the
legislative branch to these charges
by the administration. Both the
President and Mr. johnson took the
position that "minorities" in Con-
gress were responsible for the fail
ure OF the repeal of the arms an
barge. Their argument is that the
Republicans, minority party in
Congress, plus minority of the
Democrats, constituted the STUN
bling block, as they did. But never
theless the Republicans, plus those
Democrats who failed to see eye to
eye with the administration, are a
majority of the Congress, fact
which the administration leaders
seem to have overlooked. It was a
majority of the House which de-
clined to eliminate the mandatory
arms embargo. 1t was a conference
OF Republicans and Democratic
leaders of the Senate with the
President shortly before Congress
adjourned which finally convinced
the Chief Executive that favorable
action on repeal of the arms en-
barge could not be had at that time.
These leaders were speaking. ap-
parently, for majority of the
Senate.
If war comes. the President in
tends it is said, to call Congress
back into session and demand an
immediate revision of the neutrality
law, with the elimination of the
arms embargo. 1t may be that the
remarks of Mr.. Johnson, Ambassa-
dor Wilson and the President are
intended as a buildup Of popular
opinion in this country to force
Congress to change its attitude to-
ward the arms embargo But these
remarks are likely to stir a very

hopelessly small. The fault is more
