OUT OF HILLS
 AND INTO DRAFTS

HELENA, Mont. = Since last August Steve Dorn has been cut ting timber in the isolated South fork country. So when he arriv- ed in Helena n.cently, the first question he asked was:
 What is this about the draft"
 He explained he had known nothing of it until I decided I needed a radio and walked to Wolf Craek, 12 miles from my cabin, and bought one.
 When I got back in the hills and tuned in l kept hearing about selective service so I de cided I'd better catch a bus at Wolf Creek and come on to the state capital and find out what 1t was all about"
 The clerk of the Helena draft board gave Dorn number 2907- the highest in the county.

EDITORIAL And So What?

Germany points the accusing finger at the United States, utter ing the gutteral charge that the Lend-Lease act as written by Fe- liX Frankfurter, member of the United States supreme court. And so what? Germany discov- CTS so many things about US that we know nothing about, 1t IS an idle waste of time and energy to answer them. But concerning Felix FrankfUrter, Germany should understand that it is ab- solutely all right with us if he did write the bill
 Perhaps there Is no more gift ed mind in public life today than that of Felix Frankfurter, and his mastery of legal lore, his. keen insight into the govern ment of nations, his knowledge of international affairs ought really to make him an ideal man to write anything pertaining to statecraft and to do it in a work manlike manner.
 Of all the odd quirhs concern ing the G-rman makeup as ma tion, one of the oldest Is the per haps subconsciou5 conviction that the world shares with her a sense less hatred and distrust of Jews. And that too in spite of the fact that in England they hay held prime ministerial posts, and in America sit upon the Supreme Court bench.
 Hence Germany now takes the stand that she has found out the worst about us, and tells in a breathl-Ss world that Faliy Frankfurter Wro.e the Lend Lease act! And nobody outside the confines of Germany cares a hang whether he wrote it or not.

Current Comments
 From Washington

The spirit of the anti-Hitler movement in the United States is indicated briefly but forcefully in a few sentences from a recent address by Secretary Ickes:
 There is a widely disseminat- ed and ably conducted movem-nt in this country that draws togeth CT such as would sacrifice democratic ideals and Christian civilization to alien economic and social predispositions. There are those who believe that we ought to bow our heads meekly to the scourge of Nazi-ism, accepting it as something inevitable, as those If the Middle Ages accepted the Black Death"
 Most persons luke-Warm toward the Lend-Lease bill, or openly hostile to it, will maintain that the Secretarys indictment does not apply to them. The faults of the Nazi doctrines are recognized, and there is no dis position to abandon democracy. It is felt, however, that thzre are other matters which should be carried in mind.

It is to be regretted that copy right limitations prevent a liber- al use of an article by Leland Stow, entitled Scandinavian Twilight" appearing in the Wash ingtoa Star few days ago. Hay ing spent about six months in Fin land, Sweden and Norway, MT. Stowe reaches the conclusion that after a 'ong period of peace, during which too much effort was spent on social bett rment and the settlement of purely dom estic problems Sweden has gone soft; and that although the terri terial borders of that land re- main intact, a somber tWi fight is g ttling on freedom there. MT. Stowe thinks that in all this there is a lesson for the United States.

In a court action, which may have far reaching consequences, number of Washington medical men are charged with violating the Sherman Antitrust Act. and it is alleged that some hospitals have been aiding and abetting. It is claimed that the members of a medical group are attempting to throw a monkey wrench in the machinery of the Group Health Association.
 Many have bsnefited by the disqualification plans of the gov ernment. On the other hand, there is a kindly feeling toward the individual free lance doctor whose calming presence is to be had in the sick room by a word over the phone. A decision there fore cannot be based on good will and friendship. Nor can it be based on the facts. After two weeks or more of testimony, some of them remain to be brot out.

The first of those considera- lions, quoting the remarks of a Senator on the floor, is that the passage of the bill would result in the "degradation of Congress, a presidential dictatorship, and entrance into the war Moreover there is the view that after all, it is England's OK that is b-ing gored. Here, again, the Senate furnishes the text. We are begin hing to move our battle fleet and make thr atening gestures only now that British imperial inter- ests in Asia seem to be threaten ed.

In old times, the doctors attack ed almost every disease by bleed ing the patient. Science has pro- dividual, but the physician in in ternational affairs who can lay asida the lancet, is yet to appear. War is abhorrent, Probably the doctrine that a nation needs a blood-letting now and then is a falsity. Yet out of all the commo ton abroad, there comes the haunting impression that the price of liberty and freedom in the United States may rise in the days that lie ahead.

 Taking it for granted that de- fense is necessary, and that the defense program must go for ward, it follows that strikes and labor disputes can be permitted to be an impeachment no more than can refusal by industrial ists to their part.

 Crisis Very Near
 Boston, Dec. - (U.P9 - Q. s. Senator II. Styles Bridges, R., N. H., a member of the senate military af- fairs committee, believes the crisis between the United States and Jap- an may come to 0 head within the next seven days.
 "The situation Is most critical much more than the average citizen realizes" he said last night in an address before 2,500 persons attend- Ing the annual convention of the New England Division of the Amer lean Jewish Congress.
 "The next move apparently is Up to Japan, and the crisis may be reached anytime within 24 hours or seven days"
 Bridges said there was nothing new in the Japanese attitude to- ward the United States.
 The only thing new about 1t now Is the support 1t receives from the Na2i dictator. The situation which the Japanese have created must have our careful watching and America must be as alert to Japan's movements as to Hitler's.
 Tn my judgment 1t isn't just 6 matter of building the most modern and biggest army in the world and a two-ocean navy to defend our- selves in case all other independent nations are taken over by the total- itarian countries. We have to face realities. We are witnessing the steady march of the most powerful and brutal war machine the world has ever known"
