AUTHORITY OF LANGLIE
HAS BEEN QUESTIONED

According TO the land commits
sioner's office, much more than
the approval Of the bills for the
two check cruisers will have to
come before the meeting.
Among others, there has been
raised the question of the authority
for Gov. Langlie to hire the check
cruisers after having vetoed an
appropriation for that purpose.
There also is said to be the ques-
ton of the Interpretation of the
authority for ordering a check
cruise.
These are matters of law which
can be settled by an opinion from
the encouragement or a friendly
suit TO compel the land commits
sioner to release the Jones and
Markham checks.
As pointed out in previous
article. the state superintendent of
schools and the state land COM
missioner are in accord on the
principle of getting az much as
possible out OF the timber on the
school lands. The controversy
arises over the ways of reaching
the objective.
WEAK LINK Is LACK
OF ESTABLISHED POLICY
According to prominent timber
operators and loggers. the weak
link in the system il the fact that
there has been no esta blished
policy in the land department.
During the eight years OF the
Hartley administration there was
a continual fight between the gov
ernor and Clark savidge, land COM
missioner. There were investiga-
tons and charges and counter
charges, but nothing was accom-
plished
During the administration of
Gov. Clarence Martin there was
little controversy in the open. but
there was lot of grumbling
which did nothing to get rid OF
the hit and miss policy OF con-
Quoting the state timber and land
business.
In the opinion of experienced
operators. the state schools will
not receive fun value for the fine
stands Of timber remaining in that
jurisdiction until a business-hke
policy II adopted.

the domestic troubles OF their

Back in the days when the
departed film star was Rodolfo

was destined to become the great

in the Bliss gardens. producing
blooms that won prizes for Mrs.
Bliss Sr. at all flower shows.
But the Bliss sons were too
young at the time to have de-
veloped any ideas they. too, are
Valentines. So that can't be the
reason they have such poor luck
in the matrimonial sweepstakes.

Selfish Interest
In Aiding British

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. up
Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia of
New York urged approval of the
British aid bill for purely selfish
American interests" today.
LaGuardia appeared as an ad-
ministration witness in the senate

LaGuardia, who is chairman Of
the joint U. S.-Canadian defense
board, paid tribute to the courage
and gallantry of the British people
in the defense of their homeland.
when that epic is written, it
will be an epic of civilization when
the names of Hitler and MusSolini
will be used only to denote sort
of mental disorder" he said.
LaGuardia said that he favored

The proposed aid to Britain, he
said, is not offered because OF

weakness as of Feo. Il, 1941."
"If England is victorious and if
Hitler and MuSsolini are defeated,
we get off very cheaply,' LaGuardla
added "If the defense program is
necessary, this is necessary.
LaGuardia, whose vehement de-
nunciations of the dictators occa-
sionally have prompted diplomatic
protests, briefly reviewed the de
velopment of world armaments af-
ter the World war.
After the World war, he said, the

vessels and late in the 192O's sank
another 10000 tons III the interests
