necessary for this type OF work.

Subversive Signals
The navy department has been pi-

passed the house. 1t has been held up
in the senate commerce committee by

and you gave your word that you
you qualified as governor. This has
not been done. You made the state
ment that you wanted the Hitler bill
repealed, which was not done, and 1t
| is very evident that you have taken
| full advantage of this law, attempting
to dictate the employment of the state
employees.
No doubt pressure was brought
from many points but the people that
got the most consideration were not
for you in the last election and in
my humble opinion, your whip hand
is controlled from the sixth floor of
the Hennessy building, while some
prominent insurance men have also
had hand in making suggestions
and appointments.
I can tell you frankly that you have
been a great disappointment to the
rank and file of the common people,
the 1aymen who were responsible for
your election and l firmly believe that
you appreciate that you are another
one-term governor.
do hope that you will eventually
see the light and do the job you set
out to do, and that was inject little
honesty into state politics and give
every citizen of Montana a square

ing governor that Montana ever pro-
duced, but to date your close friends

By JOHN STAHLBERG

Almost every day someone prints OF
broadcasts the assertion that the
paramount consideration now is the
destruction of Hitler at any cost. AT
somewhat longer intervals someone
else declares with equal certainty
that for the people of America, at
least, it is more important to avoid
war and so make sure of preserving
here in the United States, institutions
and traditions on which the postwar
remnants of humanity can rebuild
civilization. To those who favor war
at any cost, dissent makes you a pro-
nazi or at least an appeaser; to those
who prefer peace at any price, dis
sent makes you a warmonger; and to
both sides, inability to be cocksure in
support of Ell h er, automatically
brackets you with the "vacillating"
or confused" liberals.
liberals are always vacillating or
confused or both; all radicals and all
reactionaries are agreed on that point.
That is why, when the facts catch up
with them and their certainties begin
to sag and wabble, all radicals and
all reactionaries rush to the liberals
for support and for protection from
one anothers mutually deadly clari-
ties.)

lieves that labor will stand idly by
and permit passage of restrictive la
Dor legislation by default, they have
another guess coming.
A fight against such legisla ton is
now being organized by both the
A. F. of L and the G. l. O.-and this
flight is going to be pushed with the
utmost vigor.
Particularly, labor will oppose all
efforts at compulsory arbitration.
And, everybody is agreed, the best
service that John L. Lewis can now
render the labor movement is to keep
as quiet as mouse. 1t wouldn't be
at all difficult to get up purse for
him among labor circles to ship him
away to some distant cline, for a
vacation, which he probably needs.
A great deal depends on how far
the administration wants congress to
go. The president was forced to make
some commitments during the recent
debate on the neutrality act changes,
albeit he did it reluctantly, but it's not
expected that he will go very far with
the anti-labor crowd.
Whatever happens, the anti-labor
crowd will know that they were in
fight. And their masters, the fat boys
will get some publicity that they won't
relish little bit. Congress will hear
how these gentry have held up ma
tional defense, while their stooges in
congress were trying to place the
blame for the tagging program on
labor.
And the country will also get few
figures, not yet published, of the as
founding profits that these same fat
boys have made-and are still max
ing-out Of defense contracts Labor
isn't asleep on the job; the data is
being assembled and the figures are
being compiled.
It's not going to be one-sided
fight, by any means. The blame for
national defense delays is going to be
placed right where it belongs-and it
won't be on the shoulders of labor!

His campaign in Poland In the
month of Sept, 1910 was simply a
practice march as all of Poland's de
lenses were directed against the
U.S.S.R. and he met with but a
neglible resistance, but his really
most spectacular moves commenced
when he invaded Denmark, Norway,
Belgium and The Netherlands flank
ing the Maginot line, probably the
costliest line of Notifications ever
built.
He established an airfield in Nor
way, permitting the British to land
an expeditionary force there, then
cutting their line of communications

same plan followed at Dunkirk and
Crete thus stripping Great Britain of
big part of her war equipment.
April the 9th he started his grand
march through Europe and June "a
France capitulated and by May l of
the next year he had taken over IA
European nations with all their indus
trial plants intact producing war ma
terial for his juggernaut. Hitler's
quick conquests can be ascribed to
three main reasons: His full pre-
paredness and prompt decisions on
the one hand and the opposition's
lack of coordination on the other be-
the democracies. The first real hard
opposition he met was when he
crossed over into Russia, and that
was the time Great Britain should
have been set to open western front
which was what Hitler dreaded the |
most Not only could Great Britain |
make good showing with her four

ON OUR
DOORSTEP
BY PARKER T. ANDERSON

One of the stunts of the old-tfm
circus consisted in drawing a strongl.
barred cage containing tiger, leop
ard or a pair of hyenas into the rint
and while the audience watched
breathlessly man carrying shorf
rawhide whip would enter the enclos
ure. This man was called keeper OF
trainer but a better name for him
would have been torturer. He slashed
the animals mercilessly with stingine
lash and they reacted with snarls and
growls and barred fange as they leaped
corner to corner. When the torment
made his exit backwards and hastily
clicked the door lest an avenging an
gel clothed in fur, fang and claw
might spring upon him.
The technique for training dumb
brutes has changed in the past 30
years to the credit of mans intelli-
gence and understanding. Fear is a
poor motive for exacting obedience
from either man or beast. 1t lasts
only until the day OF vengeance. II
ever Europe is to be united in one
commonwealth it will be
by voluntary action of
the masses and not by the mailed
fist dealing torture, famine and death
with unblushing savagery. The nazi
may have superior knowledge Of tanks
and bombs and other methods Of de-
struction but they have yet to prove
they have even casual conception
Of how to build nation. Hitler
1ares not turn his back to the people
he has pillaged and outraged. AS
with the circus keeper they must be
Gagged and scourged to keep them in
cash.
On this planet Of ours the trail of
he tyrant has been long and tortuous.
There has been no respite until he
vas crushed. There is one thing in
his world to which there is no limit |
Ind that Is mans greed for power |
Few men who have secured great |
,ower through military prowess have
lsed it wisely.

go through the forms and motions
that committee is supposed to go
through with-the holding of regular
meetings, discussions, etc.
Now, the committee has ceased to
go through these routine forms and
motions.
| The Dies committee hasn't held a
regular meeting since early in Janu-
ary-about 10 months. On few oc-
casions, Mr.. Dies has taken the pains
to call up member or two--but moth
ing more than that.
And yet, Mr.. Dies has been handing
out newspaper releases regularly, CIV
ing the impression that these releases
represent the work and judgment Of
the committee.
For the past several weeks, Mr..
Dies has been attacking Leon Hen
derson, issuing statements charging
that some of the people who work
under him are communists. The state
ments sound as thoogh they come
from the committee itself.
Yet nothing is further from the
truth. A member of the Dies commit
tee has confided to this column that
the members of the committee were
not consulted by Mr.. Dies in connec-
ton with a single release against Mr..
Henderson.
But Dies is getting away with It
and that's the only thing that seems
to count these days.
To Go After Big Fish
Appointment Of James Rowe, adj
ministrative assistant to the presi-
dent, as assistant to the attorney gen.
eral, is expected to be reflected soon
in prosecution of some of the big
time Nazis and their agents. Thus far
only the small fry have been gathered
In the net.
One of Rowe's specific tasks, 1t is
said, will be to go after the big fell
lows. There has been considerable
criticism OF the department of justice
for having failed to go after the big
game.

construction. They showed how con-
tracts entailing the expenditure OF
vast sums of taxpayers money went
to the favored few contractors. 1t
was no secret that employees trav-
elled around at state expense engag-
ling in pernicious political activity.
Machinery and equipment were bought
from companies friendly" to the adj
ministration. These and other abuses
were rampant when Governor Ford
took office, and most Of them have
ben done away with, but 1t is up to
the highway commission to see that
there must not be any recurrence.
IN THE PAST, it has been very
evident that in the ALLEGATION of funds
central and eastern Montana have not
received their share. Certain cities
have benefited at the expense of 9th
ers, and certain sections have been
overlooked altogether. These are
some of the reasons why we should
be quick to approve Bert Kathan's
appointment. With him looking out
for our interests we can be sure that
we will have the kind of economical
and progressive administration of
highways that we deserve.
RUMOR HAS 1T in Helena that
when Bert takes over there will be
a reorganization of the highway de-
partment as well as of the highway
commission in an earnest endeavor to
promote efficiency and economy. 1t
is a well-known fact that many of the
leaders of the progressive group In
Montana have not been satisfied with
the situation as it exists and the ap-
pointment of Bert Kathan will help
to iron out any difficulties that may
exist.
SPEAKING OF STATE Govern
ment, all of US should remember to
get the legislative record showing just |
how every legislator voted at the last |
session. These are for sale by The |
Peoples Voice and should be brought |
to the attention of every Montana |
voter. Now that election time Is roll |
ing around once more and it is i'm
perative that we select honest, sin
cere, progressive to represent us in
the value of these records
cannot be over-estimated. If you take
my tip you'll be sure to write in and
find out about them.

Mr.. S. c. Ford
Governor of Montana
Helena, Montana
Dear Mr. Ford:
/ certainly wish to congratulate you
on your selection of Bert Kathan as
a member of the highway commission
of the state of Montana In my stead.
1 know full well that the rank and file
the state of Montana wanted Bert to
receive the appointment of Commits
sioner of Agriculture, which he was
best qualified to fill, but nevertheless
you have a good, honest, conscientious
man to serve you on the highway COM
mission.
| AS I stated In my conversation with
you and also Howard Holmes, the pol
| icy of the highway commission should
be to take over full charge and run
the highway commission and deter
mine all the policies of this board,
while the engineer, Mr.. Holmes,
should have authority to select all
the heads of his various departments,
together with all district engineers
and the district engineers, in turn, Sc
lect all their own employees except
those coming under the jurisdiction Of
the heads of other departments. You
have listened to high pressure poll
ticians to inject people into the high
way commission and to make jobs
which should not be done, but IL a
man is right, efficient and on the job,
he should be allowed to continue serv-
ice. This would only increase the
efficiency Of the highway department.
have been told that under political
pressure, you have even injected men
into the organization who had been
investigated by the FBI, and many
other employees were injected with
out the approval Of the department
heads.
However, 1t is lot of satisfaction |
to me that you have begun to see the
light through the appointment of Bert |
Kathan who, with his associates, so |
earnestly supported you in the last |
and delivered you enough |
votes to win. l can't help but feel |
that this was an intelligent political |
move on your part and l certainly |
want to give you credit for seeing the
picture in its true light, even though |
it comes one year late.
Respectfully yours,

Hardy Nuns
increasingly
Popular
Korean Type and
Northland Daisy
Winter Well

Now everybody Is asking about
| hardy chrysanthemums. and there
Is certainly a multiplicity of vari-
eties available for the home gar
| dener. In fact. maybe there are
/ too many varieties. for lot Of work
is being done on chrysanthemums
and several comparatively new
classes are being developed.
The first of these is the Korean,
cross between the regular chrys-
anthemum and Korean daisy This
cross produced many single flowers,
but now there are double forms and
they are very satisfactory outdoor
plants. In the main they are hardy
Another variety which has recent
ly been recognized as a separate
/ species is known as ChrvSanthemum
rubellum. This is a form native
to China, and it blooms earlier than
the regular ones. Seedlings of the
| type are now being offered as Sep
tember-blooming varieties. They
are hardy, but quite small.
One of the most satisfactory Of
the recent classes is the group
called Northland daisies. These
Northland daisies are seedlings of
the chrysanthemum variety AStrid.
There are also good crosses between
the regular garden chrySanthemum
and Arctic daisy. These crosses are
early October blooming hardy chrys-
anrhemums with light pink flowers.
They are very satisfactory in bloom
and apparently absolutely hardy.
They are profuse bloomers, with
masses of single flowers during
early October. The pleasing colors
vary from light pink to different
tints OF pink, yellow, apricot and
other pastel tones to light browns.
Several named varieties in this
group are being offered and they
are all satisfactory garden flowers.
If you have had trouble In win
tering chrysanthemums try some
OF the newer varieties of the North
land daisy. They will come through
with very little loss In we'll
drained conditions, the Koreans are
generally hardy and so are several
OF the pompom types. Any of these
chrysanthemums will grow in a we'll
drained soil that is not too acid.
For satisfactory growth, 1t is best
to divide them every year.
