The Political Mill
Jeanette Ronkin, Seeking Seat in House.
Is Conceded Chance Against O'ConneII

has no little influence in politics,
although it is not as much as it used
to be in the old days. When Leon
Henderson, speaking a few days
ago as a member of the National
Defense Council in Washington, as
serted that something must be done
about prices of copper. zinc and
other necessary metals for the de-
tense program he stirred up a bit
of excitement in Montana, where
copper is a big factor. The people
out here want to know whether it is
his purpose and that of the admin
istration to reduce the price of cop
per, which is now about II cents, or
even to prevent its going any higher.
Both the company" and the men
who work in the mines are inter-
ested in the prices of copper and
other metals. Three years ago cop
per went to II cents Later it
dropped as low as 10 cents Wages
of the miners in Butte are based on
sliding scale, depending on the
price received for copper. The
miners are still shouting loudly for
President Roosevelt. If anything
is done to cut the price of copper
before election, it certainly would
not sit so well with the company"
and with miners themselves. 1t is
doubtful, however, that anything
now can pry the miners away from
the President.
Plan for Wallace's Visit.
The Democrats are not overlook
ing anything in this presidential
campaign in general if they can help /
1t, despite the fact they express en-
tire confidence that the President
will carry the State. They are max
ing big plans for visits in Helena
and in Butte and other parts of
the State for Vice Presidential
Candidate Henry A. Wallace the end
of this week. They are particularly
anxious to make better and more
enthusiastic showing for Mr.. Wal
lace than was given Mr.. Willkie,
who invaded Butte couple of weeks
ago.
The published reports that sup
porters of President Roosevelt in
Michigan and other places are
throwing eggs, vegetables and even
of1ce furniture at the Republican
candidate and his supporters is hav-
ing bad effect psychologically.
That kind of thing is far more likely
to stir up antagonism to the New
Dealers than support for President
Roosevelt. They don't relish it here
in general.

Naval Bases Next Goal.
The japanese who know there is
no resistance left in that French
colony are now planning to move
southwark and take possession of
the strategically important naval
bases of Saigon. and Cape d'Along.
Once this section with its airdromeS
is occupied the Japanese aviation
will be able TO strike with ease at
the British naval base at Singapore.
The distance between Singapore and
the French airdromes is less than
600 miles. They will find in 1ndo-
China important supplies Of gasoline
and oil for aviation the French
authorities having decided not 10
destroy these stores.
The French authorities in 1ndo-
China say that If the mission of
their emissary in Washington, Col,
Jacomy, had been successful at an
earlier date this thing might have
been avoided. 1t is true that the
head of the mission sent by Ad-
miral Decoux had to cool his heels
/ in Washington for several weeks
before he could talk with response
bic persons here. But 1t Is pointed
out that the French needed air..
planes more than anything else,
and the United States had none
] available.
Planes at Martinique.
The only available planes were
those which are at Martinique;
they are brand-new American ma
chimes which were sold to the
French government before the
French Army collapsed. II the
| Vichy government had sincerely
desired to maintain its colonies
they would have allowed these
planes to be sent from one colony
to another without infringing in
any way the letter of the armistice.
1t was provided in that act that
the French will be permitted to
maintain a navy and an air force
sufficiently adequate to defend their
colonies.
1t appears. however, that the
Vichy government. instead of or
dering the airplane carrier Bearn
to proceed to Indo-China to de-
fend the colony from any Japa-
nese encroachment going beyond
, the treaty, has asked Berlin whether
such an action was permissible.
Naturally, the German Foreign Of
flee answered negatively. and the
Bearn with the American planes
is lying in the Fort de France Har-
Dor awaiting orders, presumably
from Berlin.
