Let US spin a simple thread Of un
derstanding out of the complex chaos
Of world affairs today.
On the surface it would appear that
those who would negotiate for peace
at once and those who say war to
the finish" represent two completely
divergent schools of thought. Actu-
ally, this duel is but a clash of tao
tics between two sets of capitalists.
The dominant fear of all imperial
lists today is that peoples revolu-
ton will shake Europe. The altruism
of the "appeasers" is entirely mott
waited by determination, at any cost
to maintain the status quo. They rea-
son that unless war is broken off soon
the people will turn their guns the
other way; will revolt against their
leaders. That is why, for example,
Herbert Hoover begs leave to feed the
of nazi-controlled Europe.

W00DRING'S REASON
FOR RESIGNING FOUND

Washington, D. C.-(FR)-Although
no public explanation was made for
Harry Woodring's resignation as sec
rotary of war, and his letter Of resig-
nation sent to the president was never
released to the press, small item
buried away in recent issue of the
Congressional Record gives Wood
rings personal account of what hap
pened. While still a member Of the
cabinet, Woodring wrote:
There is comparatively small
clique Of international financiers who
want the United States to declare war
and get into the European mess with
everything we have including our
manpower. They don't like me because
| am against stripping our own de-
lenses for the sake of trying to stop
Hitler 5000 miles away. Eventually
they will force me to resign.

A THREAD OF UNDERSTANDING

perience after the last war In starving
out revolution and feeding counter
revolution. The American capitalists
represented in this group can afford
the magnanimity of peace now, since
their ranks are recruited from enter
prises not benefiting directly from
war; they are the makers of consum-
ers' goods and goods for life rather
than destruction of life.
On the other hand, those who are
most anxious to keep the war going,
however beautifully they may obfus-
cate the issue, are primarily the direct
beneficiaries of fat, wartime indus
tries. And perhaps their most crush
ing, telling reason for desiring con-
tinuance of war is a fact never openly
stated: negotiated peace now would
leave Europe in the co-partnership Of
English and German capitalism,
though England would occupy Sec
ondary position. Against that weigh
the fact that British victory would
as an imperialist world power. For
note well, whatever the outcome of
the war, England has lost her world
supremacy. Here, then, is the para
dox of American aid to Britain: for
while on the surface we are backing
England, in reality it is only that
American plutocrats may be on hand
to help themselves to the piecesl
Whatever his understanding of the
situation or personal motivation, and
in spite of propaganda to the contrary,
Senator Wheeler is expressing the
deepest feeling of the American peo-
pie for peace, peace and security at
home
What, then, should be the attitude
of the American people to a conflict
they abhor yet cannot ignore. To
think of England as a united people
staunchly behind their present govern
ment, or the German people as solidly
united in love and admiration for Hit
Ter is, of course, wishful immaturity.
In Germany, in England, in every en-
shaved country of Europe, the people
who are sick unto death of war and
dictators are struggling to throw off
the yoke of reaction that has led al
ways to war. These are the English
people we want to help; these are the
Germans, the Czechs, the Poles we
want to remember.

Convention Shocks

The San Francisco Chronicle, COM
menting on the convention of Associ-
ated Farmers held in Fresno, Deem
Der IL says:
Some Of the methods discussed at
Fresno for carrying out these already
dubious detectives came dangerously
near to declaring war on the people,
the law and the government Of Cali
fornia"
The Associated Farmers adopted
resolution advocating a tax strike I'M
less the state legislature passed laws
outlawing strikes. picketing, and boy

Their resolution called for an amend
ment to the child labor law to permit
child labor on the large corporation
farms, abolishing laws limiting the
hours of labor, and requiring one days
rest, abolishing all forms Of migrant
relief, particularly FSA camps.
The essence of another resolution
adopted would advocate starving the
cities until they abolish labor unions.

support our governor in the final anal
ysis on any legislation that is reason
able and fair, but it is very evident
that the major corporations are lining
up every individual that 1t is possible
to do, so they will be able to control
and keep their finger on the pulse Of
all legislation that is brought before
the present session
| H. S. Bruce of The Peoples Voice
wrote an article with reference to the
democratic caucus that was held be
fore the present session opened and
likewise l took the time to attempt
to .enlighten the people as to the pic
ture as saw it. 1t was very evident
that these two articles hit where the
hair was short and the truth burned
the company regime. Floor leader
Byrne took the floor to criticize this
known fact. He was put up as a
smoke screen to take the heat away
from Mr. Stromnes who was respon-
sible for the situation during the eau
Gus and who is also wholly responsible
now for the lack of progress that is
being made at the session. Ed Byrne
is one of our capable, middle-of-the-
road individual farmers whose honesty
and integrity cannot be questioned,
but he joined the Stromnes ranks and
is being used as a smoke screen and
a cover-up for Mr.. Stromnes and the
people he represents.
We have been reliably informed that
the major corporations make a COM
plete investigation of every state rep
resentative as to occupation, financial
standing, income, mortgages, friends
and enemies so they may have rec
ord of each Individual A record has
been made of each legislators address
and telephone number in Helena,
which also shows whether he is mar
ried and if so whether his wife is
with him or is expected Maybe the
wives back home should get on the
job.
Another suggestion for the enlight-
eminent of the public would be to have
each representative sign an affidavit
at the end of the session as to whether
or not his room rent or other con-
veniences had been taken care of by
outside parties.
1t is high time that something
should be done about this gangup on
every legislative session and it is high
time that these representatives are
allowed to represent the constituents
who put them into office, as they are
sent to Helena for a definite purpose
instead of being wined and dined and
possibly influenced in their good judg
ment on matters of legislation.
Our new governor is attempting to
give the people of Montana four years
of honest legislation and is attempting
to streamline the various departments,
cut down the expense and protect the
taxpayer at the same time eliminating
all CRAFTS and rackets and he should
have the entire support of the mem
bers of our legislative assembly, and
the present trend of the progress
shown to date is absolutely against
any effort that he may make in that
direction.

WHY POVERTY
In MONTANA

ed Mason's Answer to Montana
Standard and Butte Daily Post Of Jan
uary 20, 1941)
It's very true a group Of people me-
in Helena, Montana on January 10
1941, to declare war on poverty among
our people BY our people, / near
farmers, laborers, and small business
men as we'll as unemployed people
Should our daily papers which are
controlled by the war mongering capt.
talist class publish just one case day
of the destitute poverty-stricken cases
that we know exist here in our com
munity instead of waving red flag
every time the Butte Miners Union
and other groups meet to discuss some
way to combat our deplorable, un-
bearable conditions, they wouldn't
have to worry about the communists
or nazis or any other isms. Should
any one doubt that there Is disease,
sickness and poverty-stricken people
in Butte, we challenge them to accom-
pany one of our esentatives-5ust
one a day We can prove that 2/3
of the people who have reached the
age of 40 years, are in need of medical
attention. They have no hope of help
because they are unable to pay for it.
We can prove our people are living
in shabby shacks without floors where
they have to move their beds and
other belongings to some corner when
it rains because they are unable to
pay for anything different. We are
able to prove men are laying flat on
their backs from injury suffered in
the Butte Mines and denied their COM
pensation by billion dollar corporation,
stool-pigeon, claim-agents. We can
prove our old people are living on
one or two meals day, instead they,
should be given every thing their
hearts desire for they have only a
few more years among us.
We can prove that the small bust
nessmen are slowly disappearing from
our midst One only has to walk up
or down one of our streets to see by
the empty business houses, that our
small businessmen are about gone.
Only the 10Th of January, 1941 while
recess was on from our meeting, l
looked around Helena a little. They
have the same conditions there.
We can prove that our farmers are
slowly but surely leaving their farms
as the big interests are pushing them
off their little places-a case OF the
most hoggish individualists who can
their neighbors with the
help of some bank or group of finan-
ciers
We can prove there are any number
Of silicosis stricken Butte miners who
are walking the streets. They are
denied the privilege of our state in
stitutions because they are not citi-
zens. Yet they are the ones who
helped pay for these same institutions.
These men are still human.
Now if our Montana Standard calls
trying to remedy these conditions
'Communistic," maybe we had better
start studying communism. l for one
believe these conditions can and
should be remedied and that it should
be done at once.

SIZE OF AVERAGE
FAMILY DROPPING

Washington, D. -(FR)-The fam
lily of five which was typical in 1890
has now dropped to 3S according to
the 1910 census. The size of family
has shown a steady and rapid decline
over the past so years, being at the
rate of two-tenths of a person per
decade.
The average size of families in the
United States: 1910, 3.8; 1880, Al;
1920, 4.3; 1910, As; 1900, At, and
1890, 40.
The census states that the decline
is "due primarily to increased urban
ization and the decline in the birth
rate" The average sized family is fig
ured on the basis of the average pop
ulation per occupied dwelling unit

for camps.
The story that they tell is this:
The farmers in question recently were
told that they had to leave their farms
as the land was needed for a National
Guard camp. The Little Rock Cham
Der of Commerce and some of the
local officials made arrangements with
the army people to rent the land on
a percent land valuation basis rather
than purchasing the land. A farm
family thus eking out bare subsist-
ence on a $500 farm would receive
yearly rental of approximately $50
-$15 to be paid In cash and the bal
ance in six months. With this SIS
in ready cash, plus what few pennies
they may have, they are expected to
go out in this cold world and make
a go Of it.
What is going to be done about the
situation, il anything, has not been
determined. The Farmers Union Off
Gals propose to the government rep
resentatives with whom they have
been comforting here that the farms
be purchased by the army rather than
rented, so that these farmers have an
opportunity to rehabilitate themselves.
They also ask that the Farm Security
Administration take hand in the SIT
uation and aid the farmers to find
farm land elsewhere. 1t would seem
that that is the least the government
should do for these "dispossesed"
farmers.
