that all important sucker anesthetic,

vituperative indictments of the Price
System.
That quotation from the S. E. P. in
trigues me more because 1t shows the
one-eyed (cock-eyed) viewpoint OF
Price System apologists, especially
since they go on to plead that this
downward trend can be reversed by
allowing unrestricted business COM

to Laissez-faire. That cockeye of
theirs is wearing a dollar-barred tense,

their approach is badly blurred and
narrowed by such Price System con-

help industry and agriculture, as bust

A bill relating to the natural gas
distributors and transporters license
tax. Delving into this, one of the
greatest of Montana's natural re-
sources, it was found that the present
tax of three-eights of 10 was ridicu-
lous1y low in comparison with that
levied in other states, taking into con-
sideration that the consumer pays as
high as As to 60 cents per thousand
cubic feet for this same gas after it's
tremendous expansion. 1t was found
that there was also an astonishing
amount of gas imported into the state
from Canada, and millions of cubic
feet Of Montana gas exported into
other states on which no tax was paid.
This bill was designed to cover the
deficiencies of the present law and
would have brought into the state
Golfers an amount conservatively esti-
mated at $4OO,00000 per year. A vote
for the bill would have aided in con-
serving Montana's resources and have

| This was the Welfare Act which
had been sponsored by the Labor I'm

amendments proposed by the various
Welfare organizations in the several
counties and had been prepared after
careful study of the entire Welfare
situation. 1t would have provided for

An act relating to who may petition
for a Referendum or Initiative. The
act placed limitations upon those who

it increasingly difficult to protest

1t is a clear abridgment of the rights

that is the attitude, he remarked, we
might just as well have no defense
plans. If the Nation can not handle
b billion dollar program in peace
times, its security would be danger
ously threatened If faced with the
greater demands of time Of war, he
said.
AS detailed consideration of the
program began both at the Cap
itol and downtown, the President
received assurance from Chairman
Harrison of the Senate Finance
Committee that the problem OF
financing the billion dollar plan
will not be allowed to "embarrass,
affect or retard" positive action by
Congress.
Visiting the White House, Chair
man Harrison told reporters that
his personal preference, if it proves
possible, would be to leave the
financing issue to the Congress con-
> vening next January. He said the
! Treasury Department already is
! studying the years revenues and ex-.
penditures to determine whether
the program could be launched
without new tax legislation or an
increased Federal debt limit before
the first of the year.
The Federal debt now is close to
5000, ,000, 900 and is expected to
reach the statutory limit of $45, ,000,-
100000 during the next fiscal year.
Tax revenues thus far has exceeded
estimates, however, and might per-
init initial expenditures for the arms
program without crowding the debt
limit before next January.
Senator Harrison said he expected
the President and Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau to discuss the
matter soon and that the proper
congressional committees thereupon
will receive the figures necessary
for a decision on the financing
problem.
Questioned about the problem
Of protecting our industrial ma
chinery, Mr.. Roosevelt disclosed
that thought already has been given
to the possibility Of locating addi-
tional aircraft manufacturing plants
In the central section of the coun-
try. At present virtually all the
large aircraft manufacturers are
concentrated along the East and
West seaboards.
In any event, he said, careful
thought is being given the protec-
ton problem not only as it applies
to the airplane industry hXt also to
oil and other vital products.
Mr.. Roosevelt told his conference
he will not leave Washington over
the week end and that his con-
templated trip to the West Coast in
June is probably of. At some time
during the summer, he said, he
hoped to get down to the Great
Smoky Mountains for dedication of
the new National Park on the Ten
nessee-North Carolina line.

NEW YORK, May 17.-John L.
Lewis, president of the G. I. O.,
declared today that labor would de-
mand q voice in any program Of ma
tional defense and would insist that
current social legislation "be pro-
tected." He spoke at convention
Of the Tmalgamated Clothing Work
ers of America. Delegates greeted
Mr.. Lewis-a third-term opponent
with cries of three cheers for
Roosevelt" Mr.. Lewis waited out
the bedlam of shouting, unsmiling
and apparently unrufled. He was
accompanied by Sidney Hillman,
president of the Amalgamated, who
has declared for a third term. The
convention has not acted on the
question.

ri do have some concern affecting
the rights of labor and civil liberties
in our own country, with respect
to the present situation" Mr.. Lewis
said. It is publicly known that labor
is fully In accord with the necessity
for national defense.
There are certain aspects, how
ever, of the national defense pro-
gram that should be clarified, so
that the working people of the coun-
try can face the present emergency
with confidence.
Cites Wage-Hour Act.
"Such matters are, for instance,
first, the social legislation now IN
effect being protected; meaning the
Wages and Hours Act, meaning all
the other legislation for which labor
has fought.
Second, will the collective bar
gaining rights and standards of
wages and hours, both in national
defense and other industries, be pro-
tected? In other words, will the
right to organize prevail in those
industries being recommended by
the Government to assemble the
weapons of national defense?"
