A highlight of Monsignor valdam-
brini's visit to Italy was an audi
ence with Fope Plus XII. The re-
Gently elected pontif recalled the
days when ne and Father Valdam-
brini were studying together for the
priesthood In Rome.
During his visit, Monsignor VAL
dambrini spo1e with several relatives
Of his parishioners. According to his
observations, there Is no tension
among the / eople Of Italy, despite
the war which involves France
Britain, Poland. Germany and Rus
sia.
Passengers on the Rex, which was
highly festooned with italian bunt-
ing, were not tense, although trav-

priest said.

Double Machine Concealed
For purposes Of making as simple
as possible complicated system, It
has been presumed that II the pro.
posed waterbury charter becomes
operative, the contest for control Of
the council will be between or
ganized politicians and haphazard-
ly organized citizens. There Is the
probability, Of course, that the
political forces would be divided
between Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, and that they might to some
extent cancel each other out
thereby increasing the chances oi
the anti-politician element getting
control. There is plenty Of history
Of so-called non-partisan govern

clans Of both parties, through

Radio Beam Landing
Equipment Urged
AID. f. Airport
c. 4. A. Committee Lists
10 Cities to Teach
Pilots Technique

Installation of instrument landing
equipment during the present fiscal
year at Washington and nine other
major cities to teach pilots the
technique of using such systems for
bad weather landings has been
recommended by the Civil Aero
nautics Authority's Radio Technical
Committee, now meeting in Indian
apolis.
The committee. after watching
tests of such equipment for three
days at the C. A. A. experimental
station in Indianapolis, proposed
that similar apparatus be set up at
once at Chicago, Kansas City, Cleve-
land, New York, Los Angeles, At
lanta, Ca; Washington, Oakland,
Calf; Fort Worth, Tex, and Seattle,
Wash, according to the Associated
Press.
William E. jackson of this city
chief of the authority's radio de-
velopment section and committee
chairman, said instrument landings
would permit safe operations in 80
per cent of cases in which weather
conditions now make them impos-
sible. He said the Army had asked
the C. A. A. to develop movable
transmitterS.
Installation of equipment at an
airport costs between $4,000 and
$4,000, Mr.. Jackson said, and IN
an airplane about $500.
Installation of blind-landing de-
vice was undertaken at Washington
Airport about six years ago, but
was abandoned because of the in
adequate size of the field for land
ings undef certain wind conditions,
There is not much likelihood that
another effort will be made to in
stall such equipment at Washington
Airport, in view of the fact that
construction of Washington Ma
tional Airport at Gravelly Point is
in progress, it was said here. It is
regarded as almost certain, however,
that instrument landing equipment
will be installed at the Gravelly
Point site following completion of
the airport there.

MAHAN ASSISTS ARMY
MOBILIZATION PLANS

Brigadier- General John w. Ma
han of the Montana national guard
has returned from a conference at
Portland, Oregon, where he met
with other regular army and ma
tional guard officers to form plans
for the possible mobilization of the
standing army and federalized ma
tional guard. Attending the meet
ing were heads from Washington,
Idaho, Oregon and Wyoming, the
states included in the 41st division
with Montana.
General Mahan said it is possible
that the administrator will mobilize
the army for practice measures and
as a protective measure. He added,
that such mobilization would be
held at Fort Lewis, Washington.
Officers at the conference expressed
belief that this nation will keep out
of war, Mahan said, adding that all
were agreed the army and navy
should be built up. If the mobiliza-
ton is called, the guardsmen will
entrain at their home stations and
60 directly to Fort Lewis, he said.

The United States News observes.
"One certainty in an uncertain
world now is this: Prospect of any
return to normally at home or
abroad is gone"
Thus the hazards OF forecastipg
business becomes even more acute.
One thing seems to be true: We
will continue to re-arm on a gigan-
tic scale and that is naturally a
strongly favorable temporary factor.
Building up the military establish
ment means more business for prac-
tically every industry and trade.
We are better prepared for trouble
abroad than in 1914. Plans have
been made for imposing controls on
the stock exchanges to prevent d.
sastrous rises or falls in security
quotations. Other plans have been
made to help stabilize industry.
Bad economic factor is that a
lengthy war would undoubtedly re-
suit in a British blockade Of Central
Europe, thus cutting off Our trade
there.
Glacier County chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1931-1940, 1939-09-15

that the cash-and-carry plan now
has majority.
theoretically, the cash-and-carry
system Is a neutral one-any nation
can come to our shores, get what it
wants and take it home. In actual
fact, as everyone knows, it would
be of immense aid to the democra-
cies. England absolutely dominates
the seas and the trade lands. In the
first few days of the war England
captured several German merchant
men, and forced others to seek ha-
ven in neutral harbors where they
must remain indefinitely. British
warships, in the view of military
experts, will make it possible for
the allies to carry on trade with
this country on a near normal ba-
sis. Any German ship seeking to
make a run here and back would
face almost certain destruction or
capture.
There is one less favorable phase
of the caSh-and-carry plan so for
as the British and French are con-
cerned-and that lies in the belief
held by a number of qualified men
that we will be able to give the de-
mocracies relatively few military
supplies-that our own rearmament
program will swallow practically
all the arms and munitions and
planes we can produce. That re-
mains to be. seen.
Looking at the war generally,
there is one note of hope-the opin-
. ion that it cannot last a very long
time. because of Germany's great
economic weakness, and the clear
desire of the masses of her people
for peace. One of the best experts
says that Grmany might last two
years if the French fight a defensive
war, and not more than one year
if the French take the offensive.
First reports indicate the French
have chosen the latter course, and
are carrying the war to the enemy
on the Western Front.

THE WAR IN EUROPE

Armageddon has come to Europe
again. More ominously prophetic
than ever, seem the words of Lord
Grey, Premier of Britain, spoken on
that fateful night in 1914 when the
start of the first World War was but
a few brief hours away. THE lights
are going out one by one over Eur
ope. They will not be lit again in
our lifetime" And, uppermost in
the mind of every American is the
role that our nation can and should
play in world affairs in this time
of disaster abrod.
The President has appealed by ra-
do to the people to maintain neu-
trality. He has officially proclaim
ed state of neutrality, and has as
required by law, declared effective
the general arms embargo imposed
by the neutrality act. Going by all
available evidence, the American
people, sympathetic as the bulk of
them are with the cause of Britain
and France, are vigorously deter
mined to remain neutral in fact if
not in thought. The disillusioning
lessons learned from our participa-
ton in the last war have not been
forgotten. Press polls of members
of Congress indicate practically
unanimous opposition to again send
ing and AEF to other lands. So do
the editorial expressions Of leading
newspapers.
It is thought certain that the Pre-
sident will soon call special ses-
sion of congress to re-examine our
neutrality legislation. The Admins
tration firmly believes that we
should sell arms and anything else
to warning powers on a cash-and-
carry basis, to be transported in
their own ships. The pricipal con.
flict between White House and Con.
gress last session was caused by
this. The isolationists won and the
in toto embargo was retained. Up tt
the very moment when Europe
went to war, isolationist feeling
was apparently on the increase. Blu
