 I. 4. DAVIES
Visiting Finanlier Remem- bers Soviets Long
 on "Guts

The wonderful guts' of the Russians will carry them through to certain ultimate victory in this war.
 That is the candid opinion of T. A. Davies, well known Seattle financier who is visiting in Juneau today on his way to the Chichagof mine of which he is president.
 Davies, who has made several trips to Russia, his most recent six years ago, declares, ''The Rus ian knows no other country but Russia. He loves his soil. And if you could have seen the way he tackled his problem of industrial ization in an agrarian world, you would know what I mean
 Tenacity Characteristic
 Tenacity of purpose is a national characteristic of the Russian, Davies says.
 Russia won't quit,' he declares positively, and right now you can bet your life that Hitler is up against a real problem
 If Stalingrad holds out and the Russian armies remain intact, Day. ies is convinced Hitler is "butting his head against a stone wall"
 The Caucasus is no place to fight a mechanical war, from a physical standpoint Davies said, and believe Hitler has begun to realize that Russia is no push over"
 Arrested Tn Stalingrad
 So convinced is Davies of Rus sia's chances to stave off defeat, he manages to remember with hu- nor the time he was arrsted in Stalingrad as suspected thief.
 They picked me up when I ar rived in Stalingrad with my two fine travelling bags" he relates You know it was quite apparent I was a stranger. The Russian can carry his belongings in good sized bandana."
 It seems friends of Davies in Moscow had suffered persistent loss of miscellaneous effects and the militia desperately was trying to apprehend the culprit responsible.
 Interpreter Scared
 My interpreter was scared stiff, Davies laughs, but I finally con- vinced him he should tell the po- lice that I said no American thief would be so brash as to run around with flashy luggage-Americans are smarter than that, and the whole thing was finally ironed out"
 Heavy industry was growing by leaps and bounds when Davies was last in Russia.
 They had tractor plants ther that employed as many as 30,00( men, and you know it isn't difficult to switch from tractors to tanks
 A few miles out of Stalingrad Davies said the Russians had steel plant that was then as large as some of our greatest in America and that even at that early date, more factories were springing III east of the Urals.
 Hitler" Davies says, seeming t( dislike the taste of the word, "l' going to get what the little boy shot at before this war is over.'
 Chichagof mining operations wil continue after the war is over, ht said, declaring We've got thous- ands of tons of float left to worl and well do business as usual wher We get this world mess strengthened out"
 Davies has no fear of gold. Ht rather has the gamblers outlook or the precious metal at the present time.

MISS RANKIN

Portland, Oregon
December Is, 1941

To the Editor
The Glasgow Courier
Glasgow, Montana
Dear Sir:
In period of war hysteria and
hatred such as prevails at the present
time, can quite understand as to
why you would ask the resignation
of Congresswoman Jeanette Rankin.
But it must never be forgotten that
the voters of Montana, including the
Glasgow Courier, were aware of Miss
Rankins attitude and opinions on war
at the time of her election. Her vote
against war in 1917 was a matter of
historical record when the voters
went to the polls to elect the second
time
Miss Rankin no doubt knows, as
many others know, that the fighting
of wars, including this one, will not
solve the cause of war, and that I'M
table this time, those who are not
infested with the blood and hatred of
wars, we will again have another ex-
perience such as followed the last
war; we will again win a war and
lose a peace.
We need more members in congress
with the vision and far-sightedness of
Miss Rankin. We need just such peo-
pie to fight for a just and lasting
peace at the conclusion of this tragic
war.
With every good wish to you, l am
Sincerely yours,

Editor, Peoples Voice:
So you may know, an editorial in
the Great Falls Tribune:
NOW IT'S SETTLED
We hope the worried folks who
have been so disturbed over the date
of Thanksgiving day will feel at ease.
The matter has been duly and Off
cially settled by the congress of the
United States and the act has been
signed and approved by the president.
We won't have to hear that rather
silly controversy again next year.
Thanksgiving day is now officially
a national holiday on the fourth
Thursday of November Note that we
said fourth. The original house bill
said the "last Thursday" And that
on nearly third of the years would
be the fifth Thursday and would in
terfere with the traditions and laws of
some of the states and would start an
other row. So the senate changed
the wording to the fourth Thursday,
to correspond with Lincoln's ap-
pointed war Thanksgiving day in 1863
which started the November prece-
dent. Mrs. Sarah Joseph Hale was
the woman who made the original
suggestion to President Lincoln and
she deserves the credit for the No
vember festival rather than the Pill
grim forefathers who observed their
'east days in several different months
n various years. Anyway this mat
er is settled and we can now finish
he war.

Anaconda, Mont, March 9, 194S
Editor, Peoples Voice:
In the last issue of your smear
sheet, you cry over the payrolls OF
the corporation press in our great
state who by the way has very poor
specimens Of politicians.
Why criticize any industry employ
ing people, like the great corporation
presses? Your smear sheet does good
for no one but Ford who sponsors
it in order to perpetuate himself in
office if Bonner don't beat him to
it by rendering decisions for Bonner's s
stock. Surely Ford gets enough sub
sidy from the brokerage upon liquor
and suppressing Red Lodge distilleries
from employment Of people.
If your sheet is 80 beneficial why
did you not support Jerry ]. O'Connell
in being named relief commissioner
for Montana? You are not for social
justice as your sponsor wishes only
political power. And did you hear
the hypocrite Sunday how he had wor
shipped his own way for guidance,
having with previous breath recalled
from the state department of scales
and measures one O'Connor and fired
him, knowing at the time O'Connor's
wife was seriously i'll in the hospital

prime contractors instead.
Also, they are told to insist that they
be shown what the prime contractor
actually is receiving from the govern
ment for the work, and to demand the
full price the government pays. But
"beggars" are hardly in a position
to make such demands.
Competition for subcontracts has
thus developed, with much price-cut-
ting, which is all to the good so far
as the prime contractor is concerned.
He is making a handsome profit on
the work he farms out, as we'll as
keeping the juiciest part of the con-
tract for his own plant.
Reaching Out Far
John L. Lewis has sent his Dis
trict so organizers into V incennes,
Ind, to organize the electrical work
ers into that grab-bag organization.
The excuse that Lewis gives for
going into this new field is that the
CIO electrical workers have fallen
down on the job in that city. The
theory is that since coal is used to
generate electricity, electrical work
ers can belong to miners union.
But behind this move is seen furth-
er evidence that Lewis is planning to
desert the CLIO and form a new Amer
ican labor movement which he alone
will control. District so is pretty
much of John L. Lewis private en-
terprise, with the non-Lewis elements
being weeded out.
Want Sales Tax
Conservative forces on Capitol Hill
are now organizing determined fight
to put over a general sales tax so that
war profits will be interfered with |
as little as possible.
One gets the impression that the |
of our lawmakers on the |
Hill aren't half as much worried over |
the proposal of the Secretary of the |
Treasury for doubling the income
taxes of individuals in the lower and |
intermediate income tax groups as
they are with upping corporation and
excess profits taxes.
Minnesota's Rep. Knutson fears
hat increases in the taxes of the rich
nay put them in the underprivileged
classes. Perhaps that's a good way
o get Knutson and his cronies inter-
,sted in the underprivileged.

ers between the farmers and trust
controlled spectators, as a means of
securing fair prices under the law of
supply and demand?
We all know that as soon as farm
produce leaves the hands of farmers
it passes into control of trusts, the
object of which is to set aside or con-
troll the law of supply and demand
at the present time about all that is
left is farm produce still in farmers
control outside of trust control-so in
order to prevent a spiral of initiation
ary prices of farm commodities to
advantage of farmers, the government
must step in at this point and check
possible rise under urgent demand
for farm produce, and at the some
time, leave an opening for speculative
trusts and big business to gorge them
selves with profits.
Science has analyzed the content of
all food commodities so their values
are accurately approached and also
informs us such values do not change
from day to day, but our speculator
grafters, are in a position to change
farm prices so farmer does not
know from one hour to the next the
market value of his efforts or time
or produce.
Is there any indication of justice
in the federal government trying to
patch up a marketing system for the
necessities of life that, like our whole
economic system, will collapse under
present capitalistic control?
To me, at least, the present parity
system applied to primary production
particularly to the "staff of life
