What Other Editors
Have To Say
MOSS FOR GOVERNOR
{Kalispell Timesl

Now that the political campaign
has beer officially opened in Mon
tana by announcement of the sec
rotary of state, The Kalispell Times
modestly presents G. M. Moss, ed
itor and statesman, as the RepubI-
can candidate for governor. We do
not recall candidate for this ex-
allied position in Montana during
the past 20 years upon whom the
mantle of the late Joseph NJ Dixon
could more reliably fall.
Mr.. Moss has had many years
experience in the legislature, hav-
ing been the minority leader year
after year, and achieved success on
important committees during this
period. He is well known through
out the state and admired for his
ability and conservative level-head-
edness. He will be acceptable in all
walks of life and his record is un-
Improbable.
We are for Moss of Whitefish, and
incidentally, he won't know OF IT
until he reads this paragraph in The
Times today.

BY J. w. T. MASON United Press War Expert)

The precarious situation of the Anglo French troops in Flanders due to King Leopold's arbitrary surren- der Is the second tragic military blunder the impetuous young mon arch has made to the detriment of his country during his brief reign.
 In 1886, two years after he be- came king, Leopold cancelled Bel-' gium's military entente with France and Great Britain. He showed his forceful, headstrong character by this act, trusting to his own im- mature opinion rather than 10 ex- pert opinion, just as today he has disregarded the judgment of his ministers and capitulated on his own initiative.
 Leopold believed in 1886 that his renunciatlon of Belgium's military agreement with France and Great Britain would save his country from a German invasion in the event of @ new European war. He trusted the Germans. For that reason, when Hitler violated Belgium's nen- trality IS days ago, the Allies were unable to assist Belgium quickly enough, and the country was over run.
 F Handicaps Allies
 After thus jeopardizing his own country, Leopold, by his wilful sur render, now has gravely handicapped the Anglo French forces to whom he appealed so tardily for help.
 General Weygand now must rap idly revise the strategy of the Elan ders fighting. It is improbable that

The sudden and disastrous sur- render came without consultation with Allied chleftains. It seemed to make the position of the encircled Allied troops in Flanders almost hopeless, but In contemptuous, bitter words Premier Paul Reynaud de- nounced King Leopold and promised that the French and British would fight on south of the somme and Aisne Rivers,

 Reynaud's radio statement, as well as authoritative explanations in London, indicated that the Allied forces would make no further at- tempt to hold their lines on Belgian territory, and indicated the gravest outlook for the trapped Allied armies unless real counter offensive can be launched from the River Somme front.
