We've heard from lot of places that
France is collaborating with the Axis
powers because "it is the only thing she
can do to save herself from complete
destruction. French troops are opposing
British troops in the colonies supposedly,
because if they don't Germany will de-
stroy France on the continent. France
is permitting Axis use of her colonial
bases because she's got to-"
We're bit sick of that sort of talk.
Are the Poles, the Norwegians, the
Dutch, the Hollanders, the Czechs, fight
ing alongside the Germans? They are
not. Where they can, they're still fight
ing with the British. Did the Neither
lands, when its home capital fell turn
over the East Indies to Germany? You
know the answer.
Evidently the same rottenness which
pervaded the French army's high COM
mand still pervades the French govern
ment in unoccupied territory France is
soft--too soft to impede the advance of
totalitaranism.
She needs no excuses. She needs only
the pity of those who are strong enough
to stand despite defeat. Some day, per
haps, her national spirit will revive-but
1t must be under new leadership.

Despite his pride in family and distaste for the Bennets as a group, Darcy falls in love with Elizabeth who is prelu- diced against his arrogance from the first.

Exciting, intriguing Picture of Great Nofhldnd
 Opening Sunday

Sinclair Lewis famous story, "Mantrap,' has been translated in to an exciting and intriguing pie ture under the title. "Untamed,' CO., starring Ray Milland, Patricia Morrison and Akim Tamiroff, and is scheduled to open Sunday at the 20th Century Theatre. The picture is announced as one of Para mounts more important offerings for the current season and has been filmed entirely in Technicolor. Backgrounded by the awesome, yet colorful north-Canadia forests of the Rockies, it visualizes the love of two men-one a sturdy, single minded hunter and guide, the other sophisticated city society doctor for a woman, who, through a strange quirk of destiny, has mar ried the guide, although her en- tire life has been spent in an atmosphere of fine clothes and modern city life. Immured in 2 tiny Northwest community she falls in love with his doctor, who repre- sents everything worth while in life to her, but honor and affection for the third in this eternal tri- angle, acts as an unsurmountable bar to both in eonsummation of their love. In series of dramatic sequences the picture builds to a powerful climax, rich in entertain ment values.

not alone by the munitions worker, the
airpIane builder and the millions Of
others who are working for the govern

no wealth. Upon the shoulders Of the
remaining wOrlmen and business men
falls the burden Of producing MORE
NEW WEALTH to carry on this national

taxes which win pay the cost Of con-
Quoting the war. If every enterprise not
essential to conduct Of the war were to
shut down, the United States would lose

More oil wells must be drilled in
present producing fields. Montana has
only 5l-day supply of crude on top
of the ground. More storage must be
built up, quickly. 1t will require more
production than the capacity of present
producing wells.
More oil reserves must be found.
That involves the drilling of wells in
new territory adjacent to present pro-
duction; the drilling of INFESTED struc-
lures or re-drilling of structures where
too-shallow drilling has been done;
deeper drilling to the formations below
the top of the big lime" These things
require time and money. Yet they are
essential to the safety of the people of
Montana and of the nation.

industry of the Rocky Mountain region
Is pretty completely in the hands Of

panies, with few exceptions, are not
very active, especially in Montana So
into the hands of INDEPENDENTS
companies financed by small investors

fields and in prospective new fields and
to that end we offer the facilities and
services of this organization, without
charge. We have library which will
give invaluable assistance to anyone
who wishes to enter the oil industry
in Montana We can point to available
leases where there is no question about
getting oil, whenever well is drilled.
We know of structures which we be-
lieve-from 20 years study of Mon

This Christmas recalls part of an
otherwise forgotten poem which we
learned in school:
1 heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet the words repeat
OF peace on earth, good win toward men.
And thought as how the day had come
The watchfires Of all ChristendOm
Had rolled along the endless song
OF Peace on Earth, Good win Toward
Men.
Those are haunting words today, as
we think how lacking is Peace on Earth
even more so than when the bard
wrote these lines. under similar circum-
stances, as shown by the continuing
words
Then from its black, accused mouth
The cannon Numbered I'm the South
And with its sound the carols drowned
OF Peace on Earth Good VIII Toward
Men.
Those, too, were days OF sadness
even of greater dependency than now,
because the nation could less afford
war then than now. Yet the poet found
some solace, expressed in this verse:
Then came voice, more soft and sweet:
God is not dead and does not sleep.
Wrong will fail-the Right prevail,
with Peace on Earth, Good VIII
Toward Men"
