ExpIoins Vote
Against War

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. g.
Today voted against the resolution
declaring war on the Japanese En-
pire. In as much as my vote was
the only one cast against our en-
try, / feel I owe the people of my
district a statement.
Asssthose of you who listened in
over the radio are aware, / tried
repeatedly to get the floor to ask
some questions. | felt there we're
not enough facts before us-espe-
cially since most of them were
based on brief, unconfirned ra-
do reports-to justify such hasty
action. The address of the Presi-
dent did not give us any additional
facts.
After a speech of little more than
500 words and debate which last
ed only 18 minutes, the roll was
called in the House and the die was
cast which hurled our country in
to the conflict.
Before we entered the last World
War, four days were consumed in,
debating all phases Of the issue be-
argument used today was the same
as in the last war, except this time
the speed was SO great that it pre-
vented any answer or questions.
Had the vote to 60 to war been un-
animous, it would have been a to-
talitarian vote, one not in keeping
with our American way of life.
When | cast the only vote against
war, remembered the promises I
had made during my campaign for
election to do everything possible
to keep this country out of war.
| was thinking Of the pledges / had
made to the mothers and fathers of
Montana that would do all in my
power to prevent their sons being
slaughtered on foreign battlefields.
While / believe with the other
members of the House that the
stories which had come over the
radio were probably true, still /
believed that such a mOmentous
vote-one which would mean peace
or war for our country-should be
based on more authentic evidence
than the radio reports now at hand
Sending our boys to the Orient
viii not protect this country. We
are all for every measure which
will mean defense for our. land, but
taking our army and navy across
thousands of miles of ocean to fight
and die certainly cannot come un-
der the head of protecting our
shores.
But now we are sending Ameri-
can boys into war to protect"
the United States, and doing it
based only on a few brief incom-
plete radio reports which do not
pretend to give the entire story.
1t may be that it is right for us

letter by Mr.. =. 2. Wilson OF Trhg,
Mont, was publkhed under the
headline, Publicity Hats Tref
Monopoly" Mr.. Wilson ATTEMPTED
to discredit efforts now being made
to stabilize the lumber industry in
Lincoln county, Mont. We, the. or
gained lumber workers Of this
county, take issue with his stand
and wish to correct any misimpres-
sions he may have created in re-
gard to this situation.
Lincoln county is 81 per cent
forest and industries of the forest
are the very livelihood of our COM
munity. Not only the workers, but
also the business men are deeply
interested in maintaining that indus
try as source Of employment.
"A Boom and 4 Bust"
1t has been pointed out that the
pine and spruce here is sufficient
to support the present milling ca
pacity, but any appreciable increas-
ing in milling capacity will mean
a boom and then bust.
The forest service has taken the
leadership in attempting to secure
the cooperation of the large land

owners to set up a sustained-yield
forest unit in Lincoln county. 1t is
just the sort of thing that is being
attempted in Okanogan county,
Wash, where a cooperative sus-
tanned yield unit is being built
around the Biles Coleman sawmill
at Omak. (Spokesman-Review, No
vember Is, 1941.1
Mr.. Wilson has used the bigness
of the ]. Neils plant at Libby to
drag in the question Of monopoly.
It is the bigness of the mills at
Libby, Spokane, Couer d'Alene and
elsewhere in the Inland Empire,
that has made the wages in the
lumber industry as large as they
are.
Bigness Means Efficiency
The cry of monopoly can not
stampede us workers into destroy
ing the efficiency which has en-
abled us to enjoy the American
standard of living.
There are many difficult techni-
cal problems involved in the task
OF stabilizing forest communities.
But we lumber workers are whole
heartedly behind this attempt to
safeguard our future and the fu-
ture of our children.

There is only sufficient timber
in Lincoln county of the major or
important species to keep the plant
going which is now operating at
Libby, ID miles east of Troy.
Although the mill happens to be
located at Libby, most of the log
ging is done elsewhere in the
county.
During the last few years the
greater part of the logging has
been at Troy, with the result that
a large number of the woods work
ers own their homes and live in
Troy.
From a recent canvass made, the
monthly payroll in Troy from tim
Der products has been about $40
600. This figure can be sustained
for long time il timber harvested
is properly managed. II another
mill comes in or Ii logs are shipped
out Of the county to be manufac-
tured into lumber, it means in the
first instance that many of the pres
ent workers will be replaced by
others, and second, a shortening OF
the present numbering industry in
Lincoln county.

Birds and Hard Winters
(New York Times)

tNew York Tmes)
 Many of us cherish the belief that birds, musk rats, beavers and certain kinds of trees are able to predict the weather much further ahead and better, than the United States Weather Bureau. Sc it was doubt an honest, if wishful bit of think to note that migratory birds coming down the Hudson ahead of time, and to ascribe Mir William H. Carr, Director of the Bear Mountain Trailside Museums the opinion that this presaged a long hard winter. And Mir Carr gently but firmly reproachful, to state that he holds no such opinion. To quote from his letter:
 Tt so happens that we do not believe it is pos sble for any one to predict the weather for more than several days ahead There is no scientist any where who would have anything to say about the months that lie ahead. We know that beavers some times build thick houses and store great deal of winter food when mild winter follows. There have been other occasions when the animals build fmsy houses and store practically no food and hard winter follows S Incidentally, we saw tree swa- lows fly out at Jones Beach last January fifth. There must have been something wrong somewhere" 7"
 We are glad to put MT. Carr right with our readers If bird could predict weather we wouldn't need Weather Bureau. Birds and beavers make mistakes just the rest of us do. Tree swallows ought to be in South Carolina, further down the line, in January-not Jones Beach Not even MT. Moses change that swallow may like Jones Beach, but he shouldn't risk his health to stay there out of season, unless MT. Moses is willing to provide him with goloshes fur coat and mittens.
 If readers wish to go further into the subject of natural history don't know any better and pleasanter spots for them to visit than the Bear Mountain Traiside Museums. They may away still believing that some birds and beavers are smarter than some human beings, but they can't say that MT. Carr and his staff told them

Everyone Should Have Role
Cincinnati Enquirer)

The civilian defense program headed by the redoubtable Mayor F. H. La Guardia of New York seems badly in need of practical program of action This is not to imply that some good has not come of the Office of Civilian Defense, because there has been worthwhile activity-for example, the drive to collect unused aluminium, in which local agencies cooperated with considerable success.
 However, the fact remains that there is much wider field of usefulness which the Office of Civilian Defense should explore There innumerable citizens who willing to be of help if they are provided with useful tasks to perform And their aid has not yet been taken advantage of, largely because of the lack of practical agenda
 Under Mayor La Guardia's busting leadership Che commutes to Washington three days a week) the Office of Civilian Defense has stressed mainly civilian activities of semimitary nature particu- larly afraid precautions. Many people question the necessity of such activities believing there is only the remotest of possibilities that American cities will be subject to air attack, what may. Con- sequenty, they say, all of the afraid precautions activity is nonsense calculated to frighten the American people into Few such critics explain how people be frightened into war; but the comment is general nevertheless
 In fairness to the civilian defense program it should be pointed out that afraid precautions in the coastal cities of the nation may have real point The cities the seaboard may never be subjected to concentrated air attack the European scale, but the danger is very great indeed that they will be attacked if comes with Germany. No one who has watched the development of long-range night bombing should doubt its possibility. And, as long as the possibility exists. the civilian defense program very wise to encourage training and planning in afraid precautions
 In the case of inland cities, naturally. less inter est attaches to activity of this type. In fact one is very likely to encounter apathy among those who were organizing squads to shoot Nazi parachute troops in case they landed in their gardens 12 or IS months ago But there is much needed work to be done: Nurse training better civilian support for and cooperation with the army training program greater effort to aid conservation of defense mater als more auxiliary activities connected with national defense production, and wider support for defense bond and stamp sales. Everyone should have role in the defense of America.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER g

LAAoktAOA%h4 " T NCSAe
 Adverse planetary aspects dom- mate today, but benefic influences are active. Labor is subject to evil omens read as warning a serious impasse.
 HEART AND HOME: Women will awaken to the fact that they have been long preoccupied with ambition to be physically beautiful and attractive. They will turn away from material interests as war brings to tn e m serious troubles and varied sacrifices. Re- turn to simpler modes of living and to careful methods of spend- ing. money will begin to interest young and old Much that is ar tificial and trivial will be discard ed. Devotion to home interests will be emphasized.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Heads of big corporations will demonstrate their patriotism in practical ways of supreme value to the nation. In the industrial world many real heroes will wear the uniforms of labor as it becomes plain how tre- mendous a task must devolve upon the most prosperous of all na- tions. As the horrible tides of war have come closer to the United States the prosperity of the past will be transmitted into amazing power. This month will bring to the public many revelations of coming responsibilities and inevi- table war tasks.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: True de- mocracy is to be established by defense efforts. Removal of many distinctions of wealth or station will take place in the Navy, Army and air forces while in civilian life a leveling of financial hold ings will be accomplished through taxation. Women will engage in varied movements for the safe guarding of children and the pro- lection of the aged and unfortu- nate. AS the month ends, a clear outlook upon the future will en- able many to make ready for a new order of life.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR RS. Events are to become more and more spectacular each week. Mars is in a place encouraging to mili- tant leadership in the United States. Saturn is adverse to ship ping and naval matters, indicating serious conditions for the British, but there are promising signs for democracy. Jupiter is in an aspect most promising for the United States and its ultimate success in assuring victory for the Allies.
 Persons whose birthdate it isl have the augury of a year of some good fortune, but there will be annoyances due to changes. 4
 Children born on this day may be impetuous and independent in thought and action. They will have positive ideas that may cause criti- cism and disillusionment.

HAS FINLAND LET DEMOCRACY
 DOWN?

Has democratic Finland turned totalitarian by lining up beside the Nazi machine in the battle against Russia?
 This often askedt question is being vehemently denied these days by Finnish patriots in this country and certainly a recital of the ordeal by peace" through which the Films passed after their first with the Russians seems to bear out the fact that they had ample for taking this oppor tunity for reprisal blow against the Red Bear.
 Russia stopped shooting at Finland March 13, 194o, but the attack ceased. It trans ferred to an all-out economic, political and diplo- matc aggression calculated to reduce Finland to a state of vassalage without expensive military fare
 The Russians ceased to make demands for concessions which had not been granted them in the peace terms. The Soviet State insisted that her diplomats be allowed to at will through restricted areas Russians further persisted in ing land troops back and forth across Finland to the leased naval base at Hanko This passage of Soviet troops set precedent for the widely publi- cized movement of German troops to the Northwest corner of Finland. The Films unable to refuse Germany right which she had been forced to grant Russia.
 One of the most striking examples of Finnish sturdiness came in the defense of British interest which had been granted concession in the valuable Petsamo nickel mines. The Films resisted every political and diplomatic threat refusing to break the British agreement At crucial stage in the negotiations five trainloads of grain enroute to Finland from Russia under trade agreements were stopped pending settlement. At that time starva- tion threatened in Finland. Ratons, according to the American Red Cross survey only TO per cent of the minimum required With that grain needed desperately the Films still held their ground regarding British ownership in the nickel mines.
 Unable to appeal anywhere for aid, the Films were forced to pay indemnities not provided in the peace treaty. They had to hand over personal property bearing relation to the war including such household goods bathtubs and rugs They prevented from fulfilling solemn international obligations to defend the Aaland Islands They forced to surrender invaluable electric power rights and they stood in the face of l90 mili- tary, naval and air violations of Finnish borders
 In Finland today, the people say they are fight ing only for the right to maintain Finnish indepen- dence free from fear. In editorial from the leading Finnish paper early in September, all Nazi sympathies were denied in the following manner:
 "The fact that in the present war our
 people are fighting the front as the
 mighty German Army has not altered in the
 slightest degree the ideals of people
 garding the nature of political liberty and
 inward self-determinaton of the nation
 Assertions that we prepared for the
 kind of inward orentaton represented, for
