Ethics broadly defined the science of moral duty

A Woman of No Importance

"Mrs Robert Wood wife of the state communist party

Corporation Profits Up 1902 in War

WASHINGTON.-Most significant disclosure date that
this between fascism and democracy also includes
between corporations by the
people from the Office Price Administration headed
by Leon Henderson, who reported figures showing that during
the last two the profits of corporations have increased
than 400 cent The net will be at least 100 cent
Corporate profits estimated this 500 900 000

CARNATIONS, in their prediction issue
of June 18th called upon all progress
sives of the state to support the man
who had been their friend and who
again, in writing of the Montana cleo
lions, in the July 18th issue, stated
elatedly that, Congressman James F.
O'Connor, whose splendid labor record
won him the support of all groups In
| the labor movement, was renomi-
mated" What did you say of him?
The best you could do for this cham
pion of both labor and the farmer was
to recite shaggy dog story-and not
a very funny one at that-and there
by leave the impression that as be-
tween Fritz Haynes, Labor's arch
enemy of the last session of the state
Legislature and James F. O'Connor
there is little, if any, choice for the
voters this November. How you can
condemn Howard Hazelbaker for only
having .25 progressive vote and in
the next paragraph infer that Fritz
Haynes with his 90, yes, co. record
during the same session of the legis-
lature; how you can logically contend
in the face of that that as between
Congressman O'Connor and Fritz
Haynes the laboring man and the
farmer have little choice is certainly
beyond me. With Samuel Gompers,
was always under the impression
that Labor should reward its friends
and punish it's enemies Certainly, it
is a strange kind of reward for Con-
gresham O'Connor, whom LABOR
asks be returned on his record, and
an even more confusing and strange
punishment for Fritz Haynes, with his
1000 anti-labor record, to be thrown
so unceremoniously into the same hat
and the progressive voters told by the
VOICE to take your pick.
No, voice of the VOICE, l think you
will find again this election, as was
clearly shown two years ago. that the
progressive Montana voters cannot be
taken in by wolves in Sleeps clothing
no matter how cleverly presented to
the voters and that this time as last
time the progressive voters, by a very
substantial majority, will return Con-
gresham James F. O'Connor to the
seat in congress he so richly deserves
with the admonition, "well done good
and faithful servant, go back and
keep up the good work"
Democratically yours,

and the farmer l shall try to eluci-
date.
In a recent issue of the VOICE you
appraise the congressional candidates
elected by both parties at the recent
primaries.
OF Senator Murray, you say, and
the record bears it out, that he has
IAN unimpeachable record of working
and voting for all legislation that
would benefit the common people; the
workers and the farmers, and that he
should be elected over Wellington D..
Rankin, who is not proven ground
and who should be be elected, would
be a member of the minority party in
the senate and would have commit
tee appointments of only minor i'm
portance and would therefore be more
or less ineffective"
OF Mike Mansfield you say, and
again the record bears you out, Mans
field is man of sound sympathy with
the needs and problems of the work
ing people having come up the hard
way You go on TO say, again hit
ting the nail on the head, that his
opponent Howard Hazelbaker "has
inherited a disregard for
the interests Of the hard working peo-
pie and high regard for the interests
OF the privileged as is shown quite
clearly by his record Of a .25 per cent
vote for measures of direct interest
to the common people of the state in
the state senate last session"
And of Congressman O'Connor who
also has come up the hard way" and
who along with Senator Murray also
"has an unimpeachable record of
working and voting for all legislation
that would benefit the common peo-
ple"-indeed, SO much so that LA

envy on fighting fronts. Such pic
urestare all right in moderation but
the government, as we'll as most in
dividuals employed in making pic
lures, would like to see Hollywood
fight more balanced war.
The extent to which Hollywood's
war is unbalanced is indicated in an
Owl survey of features completed in
the past six months, most of them al
ready in the theaters:
Thirty-four about the enemy (most-
ly spy melos); % about the fighting
forces mostly combat; 8 about the
home front; 6 about the United Ma
tions; about the production front;
2 about the war issues.
| The spy-fifth column-saboteur angle
has been so overplayed that Holly
wood now goes to the other extreme,
and has nothing in the works about
| the nature of the enemy - although
there is great need to spotlight fascist
tendencies.
While preoccupation with actual
fighting continues, owns survey of
stories in the works indicates more
attention is given other aspects of
our war: 68 about fighting forces; 46
about United Nations; 16 about home
front; 6 about production front; 2
about war issues.
"The public does not yet have a
clear idea of what the war is all
about, nor of the amount of individual
sacrifice and cooperation that will be
required for every citizen in order to
achieve victory" is the OWL common
tary on the film lineup.
