Young men and women with cour-

never before, not only on the War
front, but on the home front as well.
The youth of this country has never
failed to rise to every occasion. We
believe they will not fail now.

whether this plan will be fol-
lowed in Montana to meet the
labor emergency, is expected
to be reached today or tomor-
row.
The question will undoubtedly be
discussed at a meeting of the state
subcommittee on agricultural labor
scheduled for Friday. This subcom-
mittee has been selected on request
of the State Planning Board, and is
composed of representatives of vari-
GUS interested governmental agencies.
By the Idaho-Oregon plan under
which Japanese labor evacuees are
being brought into those states, a re-
quest is made by the chairman of the
board of county commissioners, the
sheriff and the county attorney of
each county where it is agreed within
the county that Japanese labor must
be secured. The request, which must
also be approved by the governor of
the state, is directed to M. s. Eisen-
hover, War Relocation Authority and
the army officer detailed to the duty
of supervision of civilian labor.
Under the form of agreement re-
CURED, the local county authorities as
sumo full responsibility for the care
and protection of the Japanese labor
ers, and the costs of transportation
from the reception center where they
are recruited to the labor camps
which must be provided and approved
in the various counties, and costs for
return transportation to the reception
centers when the laborers are no
longer required must be met by the
processing companies.
There is a definite provision In the
agreement for the removal and return
of the laborers to the reception CEN
ters" whenever the county officials
request it on completion of the work.
However, state officials are somewhat

AUTO DEALERS
GIVEN RELIEF
BY MEASURE

| WASHINGTON Relief for $4,000
automobile dealers, threatened with
bankruptcy because their stocks were
frozen by war rationing orders, was
made possible today when President
Roosevelt signed senate bill 2315.
Introduced by Sen. James E. Muir
ray Cd, of Montana, chairman, and
the members of the senate committee
on small business, the bill was passed
by the senate on April 81. A com
panfon measure, introduced in the
house by Representative Wright Pat
man, chairman of the small business
committee of the house, was passed
the following day.
Although the new law will directly
aid automobile dealers, 1t is broad
enough to provide relief for other
small business concerns threatened
by rationing orders. The measure
the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation to purchase or make
loans on stocks of dealers whose COM
modities are likely to be frozen for
q period longer than six months.
Loans or purchases to dealers will
be on the basis of wholesale costs
of stocks plus handling charges which
have been customarily calculated at
approximately 10 per month Where
stocks are not disposed of, however, |
within eighteen months after the date
Of the rationing order the R. f. c. is |
to purchase the stocks at
! fair retail prcie as fixed by the
Office of Price Administration. The

charged by the indictment are another
example of the influence of cartels on
American industry.
"This cartel has not only resulted
in high prices to the American con-
sumner but has also restricted the full
development of the chemical industry
which is essential to our war effort.
"The effects of these illegal restrict
lions on production have not been
confined to dyestuffs alone. One of
the principal means of the conspiracy
has been restricting the production of
the chemical intermediates from
which dyestuffs are made and from
which important munitions, particu-
larly explosives and plastics, could
equally well be made.

the principal means by which Ger

THE
WASHINGTON
SCENE
By HENRY ION

Vice President Henry Wallace made
speech May that, unaccountably
found its way into few of the nations
newspapers. It was speech that de-
fined, as few speeches before it in
this war, the common battle-ground on
which the United Nations are fight
ing.
Wallace spoke of the common man
and his march toward freedom. He
spoke of "the peoples revolution" and
its aims. He spoke of the demagogue
and the man behind the demagogue
who seeks to preserve his wealth
though it means slavery for nations.
There wasn't much news in the
speech, at least not for newspapers
that give four columns to the doings
of society folk to every paragraph
given to a labor union, but there was
a picture of what lot of people be-
lieve will come true when this war
is over.
"This," said Henry Wallace, Ifs
fight between slave world and
free world Just as the U. S. in 1862
could not remain half slave and half
free, so in 1912 the world must make
its decision for complete victory one
way or the other"
Tracing the march of free people,
Wallace said that men and women
cannot be really free until they have
plenty to eat and time and ability to
read and think and talk things over.
That has been the march of things
here, he said, and in a different fash
ion, the march of events in Russia

to also be ahead of schedule. There
are no worries here.

excellent in places, good in others

Nelson has the situation fairly well
In hand.
To Concentrate On
immediate Production
Decision has been reached by WIPE
for greater concentration on imme-
diate war production, even at the ex-
pense of long-range planning
Program is to bring the war to the
Axis-and quickIy-in every conceiv-
able form, on the theory that one blow
dealt now is more important than two
blows al some remote future and hat
the Axis might crack sooner than ex
pected under heavy hammering. This
may be based on some confidential
reports.
Idea is to use available raw mate
rials-steel, etc.-for Production Now,
rather than sacrifice immediate pro-
duction in favor of production in the
distant future.
Plant expansion planned for compile
tion for some time in 1914, for exam
pie, will suffer under the new pro-
gram. The steel which would go into
these plants will instead go into ship
etc. Plant expansion Of
a temporary nature, which can go into
war production at an early date, will
not be SO heavily hit.

PROSPECTS
BRIGHT FOR
BUMPER CROP

The largest winter wheat crop in
the history Of the state Is indicated
by the May 1 crop report Of the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics.
The report gives an abandoned acre
age percentage of percent which
compares favorably with the AZ per
cent abandonment for last year and
the average of 26.1 per cent abandon
ment for the 1930-39 period. The
acreage left for harvest is placed at
1,272,000 acres, which is somewhat
below last years record high of L.
$4,000 acres. However, with an an
ticipated yield of % bushels per acre
compared to last years Fl bushels,
total production of 29,256,000 bushels
is anticipated, or 1,494,000 bushels
more than that of last year. The no
ticeable shift in acreage from spring
wheat to winter wheat as result
of more favorable winter wheat yields
during the past five years and the
good moisture condition
prevailing during the spring of 1912
account largely for this increased pro-
duction figure for winter wheat. While
farmers cut down their planted acre
age somewhat from that of last year,
the improved moisture supplies would,
If average conditions prevail through
out the remainder of the growing sea-
son, result in the indicated sd percent
Increase In production.
Montana's relatively small rye crop
shows substantial increase with an
indicated production of $4,000 bush
els from $4,000 acres compared to last
years production of $4,000 bushels

luction for the 10-year period 1890 |

War Production Good;

With no longer any attempt to con
cargo ships faster than we are build
ing them, the shipping problem cur
rently is giving officials the greatest
concern.
1t is no secret that the 8,000,000-ton
goal for 1912 may not quite be
reached, due largely, it is said, to steel
plate shortage. 1t certainly will not
be reached unless greater efforts are
put forth.

tests, in a month or two. The sea

of Argentina said tonight the ties
between his country and Chile,
South Americas isolationist powers,
were never closer and, in a remark
obviously directed at the United
States, asserted both were deter
mined ito command respect for our
respective sovereign decision.
The speech was considered gen.
orally to have been inspired in part
by the recent Boston speech in
which Acting Secretary of State
Sumner Welles accused Argentina
and Chile of tolerating Axis spying
1t was considered significant also
that he spoke during the presence
here of Joaquin Fernandez. Chile's
newly designated foreign minister
who is en- route home to assume his
new post. He has been Ambassador
to Uruguay.
"One of the rules of good neigh
borliness consists of refraining from
disturbing the peaceful and pro-

tage," Ruiz Guinazu said in what
was taken to be a reference to the
good neighbor policy of which Mr..
Welles long has been champion.
