men are selfishly determined to pre-
vent the formation of an international
society of nations based upon justice
and understanding, with freedom of
opportunity, striving toward political,
social and economic equality. In our
domestic affairs they offer no solu-
ton to our problems. In our political
and economic battles they work both
sides Of the street, one by day and
the other by night.
Loyalty to America is not import
ant to the Wheeler minded. When
American troops were being conveyed
through dangerous waters, and the
fact was only known by official Wash
ington, the man Wheeler announced
1t to the world However, when Of
ficial Washington knew that the Jap
fleet was on the move, and Knox had
warned Pearl Harbor to be on the
alert, the chief Wheeler came to Mon
tana for a rest. Then his voice was
not heard in warning America, but
he was repeating the double tongued
Kurusu's propaganda and telling us
that we had nothing to fear from
Japan. Immediately after though, he
said, 81 told you so, we were not pre-
pared" This same Wheeler would
have you believe that it was the fate
of fortune that kept him from voting
on the issue of war with Japan, Ger
many or Italy. During the last few
years when our leaders have been
asking congress to increase the ap-
for national defense, fate
has been conspicuously charitable in
arranging for this same Wheeler to
evade the roll call.
Today, the state of Montana Is
suffering from over-indulgence in the
vice of Wheelerism. Many sincere
Americans are convinced that our
state has catered to and pampered
the most dangerous political oppor-
tunist in America today. For four
years we have sent his coat tail hang
ers to congress. We event sent an
alien minded Silver Shirtist, and a
"God only knows, paid by whom"
commercial pacifist. This year the
eyes of the nation and the eyes of the
world will be focused on Montana's
election. We will have an opportun-
ity to redeem the good name of Mon
tana, and by our votes line ourselves
up with America and her Allies In
their efforts to save civilization and
place it on higher plane of inter-
national dealing. Besides electing
men to congress who will support
the constitutional leaders of demo-
cratic government in time of ma
.ional emergency, we can get an cleo
lion recall act through the next legis-
ature
The fight will not be easy. The
leaders of the opposition have repeat
eddy said that they would go into
avery congressional district in an at
Tempt to control the next election.
Racial supremacy fanatics, anglo-pho-
ola groups and ruthless political OPP
Dortunists will all join hands with the
New Deal hating privilege seekers to
cripple the Roosevelt administration
and defeat Americas foreign policy.
The part that Montana will play in
Americas future, and in the destiny
If civilization, will soon be decided.
This year, l know, the people of Mon
ana will tell the world that there is
10 100000 majority here to be used

SITS and appeasers to encourage Hit
er to think that America can be an

money.
Now that we are In the midst OF
the greatest war known to mankind,
we farmers are expected to exert our
selves to our utmost and produce
Food for Victory in great quantities,
which we will do! For believe it or
not we farmers know that we are
the nations first line of defense-if
we fail all other lines eventually fail.
There is no retreat for us, we must
march forward come what may. But
there is one thing that the admins
traitors down in Washington can do
to tighten our task and that is to see
that we are on a 1000 parity and
we can procure sufficient funds at
reasonable interest rates 80 that we
can do our share. Our reserve CAPT
att is depleted, we are short on equip
ment, because in the years past we
have been forced to very conceivable
means of reducing our overhead be-
cause we were not allowed to retain
our production ability. This applies
in particular to the past IL years.
Machine guns and tanks are of no
value If there is a shortage Of farm
ing equipment on the farm and that
equipment is not active. For every
farm in the United States, big or
small, there will be one soldier, very
soon. c. S. HORTON.

Alas! Farms.
Lack GlarnOr
SOlOns Here

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1e-R
= What the farm needs, Con-
gress was told today, Ii some
glamor.
And unless something is done
to keep farmhands from seek
ing that elusive quality else
where, the House Agriculture
Committee reported. there may
be "a few million hungry stom-
achs" to awaken the people to q
better understanding and ap-
probation Of those who till the
soil"
Warning that q critical short
age of food may develop within
another twelvemonth, the COM
mittee said:
Industrial plants, managers
and workers are very properly
given public commentator for
some special feat of production.
But there is no glamor on the
farm Is It any wonder
that our young men seek the
field OF glory and glamor?"
There are ample food and H.
Der supplies on hand now due
to accumulation Of SURPRISES, q
favorable farm season this year
and ."the wholehearted re-
spouse" of farmers to pleas for
increased production, the COM
mittee said, but 1t added:
"The present supplies will be
rapidly consumed, by our ann
ed forces, by our civilian pop
ulation, and by the enormous
requirements of our allies. Few
people have any comprehension
Of the magnitude of shipments
Of food to our allies or the ship
ments which will be required
in the future. The demands for
our armed forces and allies will
increase, rather than diminish"
Aside from glamor, the farm
ers could use higher prices for
their products, the committee
said, along with recognition by
government agencies that food
production is war production.
Every item entering into the
cost of production has increas-
ed by leaps and bounds" the
report said, "yet It seems that
our urban population expects
the farmer to continue to pro-
duce at pre-war prices"

New Rationinq
Sci Up Asked
Expansion Would
Estoblish Offices

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16-(P
Growing scarcities in more
commodities fastened develop
ment today of preparations for
additional rationing programs
and an expansion of the office of
Price Administration to take
care of them.
AS OPA field officers gathered
in the capital for a two-day con-
ference on the enlarged activi-
ties, OPA officials said the ex-
pansion would establish district
offices in 90 cities of 100000
population and add about 25 dis
trict offices in cities of $4,000
or more persons.
The officials who would not be
quoted by name said the need
for bringing closer supervision
over the consumer and the 2,000,-
900 business establishments I'M
der price control was greatly in
creased by the recent anti-infla-
ton act and President Roosevelt's
designation of the entire nation
as a defense rental area.
Scarcities developing in more
commodities also necessitate,
they said, additional rationing
programs as rapidly as local
boards can absorb them.
Tentative plans call for at least
one specialist in each district Of
flee on price orders affecting in
dutries in the community, one
for the community's major ra-
tioning programs, and another to
answer questions on interpreta-
ton and compliance.

Seek HOUSING
For Workers
Soult Ste. Marie
Foees Shortage

LANSING, Oct. 16-(R-Gov-
ernor Van Wagner today petit
toned the National Housing
agency to provide pre-fabricated
temporary living quarters to
meet a housing shortage at Sault
Ste. Marie.
The telegram, addressed to
John B. Blandford, Jr., admins
traitor said:
Visiting Sault Ste. Marie,
Mich, this week / noted the hous-
ing situation has become serious
due to large influx of construc-
ton workers on war time activ-
ity. Severe northern winter
makes extensive housing con-
struction program on site not
practicable and renders contin-
ued use of many summer cottages
now occupied unsafe to heath
of workers.
II urgently recommend i'm
mediate federal action to provide
publicly financed Nvable housing
of temporary character to meet
emergency. Some type of pre-
fabricated unit to save construc-
ton time is recommended. ! urge
also some similar provision for
temporary use of Negro fami-
lies"
In an accompanying state
ment the governor urged per-
sons in the Sault Ste. Marie area
who have spare rooms to rent
them.
