This government is committed to
the principles of the Atlantic Charter.
Included in the four freedoms enun-
ciated in that charter and reaffirmed
in the recent agreement with Russia,
is free access to essential raw mate
rails by all nations of the world. If
this policy is to prevail in the post
war world, 1t means the United States
must re-orient its economic structure.
1t is much less expensive to ship fin
ished products to market than to ship
raw materials long distances for proc
essing. We must eliminate expensive
and wasteful cross-hauling.
This means we must develop our
industry in the mid-continent area, in
which the centers of nearly all of our
raw materials are located. 1t means
that everything which is processed
from agricultural products must be
made in this area, where the by-prod

He has contributed articles to almost
every progressive paper in the United
States.
In the last campaign Roger Murray
was a candidate for the office of lieu
tenant governor He was the candi-
date endorsed by the progressive
council of Montana. Despite the fact
that the corporations ran in stooge
to split Mr.. Murray's vote, and spent
an estimated $4,000 to beat him,
Roger Murray received well over 1OO,-
600 votes from workers, farmers and
small businessmen who would not be
brow beaten by corporation money
spending.
Roger Murray is married and has
two children, Roger Jr. and Michael
Anthony. He lives with his family at

Montana furnishes more than its

His slogan is, "Win the war; Mobil- |

CONGRESSMAN
MAKES FASCIST
Statement

WASHINGTON FP)-A threat of
mob action against opponents of the
poll tax was the reply of Rep. John
E. Rankin d., Miss.) to request of
CLIO Legislative Rep. Nathan Cowan
for support of the Pepper anti-poll
tax bill
Describing the bill as sponsored
by the Communist party" Rankin
said: 1T is part of the general scheme
to stir revolution in this country,
at time when the nation is fighting
for its very existence.
"The people of the south will take
care of this situation. And | might
add that they are prepared to take
care of these communists and their
fellow-travelers who go down there
for the purpose of stirring up trouble.
1.-THE (communists) are trying OF
browbeat the Red Cross into remov-
ing the labels from the blood it is
banking to be administered to our
wounded boys in the service, so that
they could not tell whether ii is taken
from whites, negroes or Japanese.
That is the reason they are trying to
force negroes and white into the same
hotels, restaurants, theaters and pic
ture shows throughout the country"
Cowan's comment was: "Rankin's
letter shows that he has been care
fully studying and absorbing = the
ideas of Adolf Hitler. 1t also shows
he is ready to support lawless mob
action to keep thousands of Ameri-
cans disenfranchised. Poll Taxer
Rankin's presence in congress is a
powerful argument for repael of the
poll tax"

ponent. Mike Mansfield is a hard,
earnest worker with a Iikable per-
sonality and immune from any at
tacks on his integrity or general
character. He is carrying on a
strong campaign with the advan-
taae of having made good race in
the last primary campaign. AdkI-
son, is intelligent, we'll informed
and a courageous fighter and is put
ting on hard campaign. He has,
undoubtedly made lot of votes for
himself. CIaxton is doing his cam
paigning mostly on the air waves,
but doing a lot of it. Clifford is
rather on the OZARK horse" order,
but will, without doubt, get quite a
few labor votes. But, as already
said, any guess as to the outcome,
would be hazardous and really
meaningless from this observers
seat.
The candidates for congress on
the republican ticket in both the
first and second districts do not at
tract much attention. They Will,
each one of them, get some votes,
no doubt, though this observer has
been unable to understand yet, why
they should. 1t is quite possible
that the republican nominee in the
first district will not have too much
difficulty getting Senator Wheelers
blessing; certainly he will have it
if either Jerry or Addison and pos
sibly Mansfield should be the demo-
cratic nominee.
The Voice has received no "bulle-
tin" on progress from McCracken,
candidate for congress in the second
district. However, McCracken is a
hard and intelligent worker and has
probably been too busy Saving
wood" to report on his progress.
Horace Casey, John T. Kelly and
Roger Murray are out beating the
bushes and presenting to the voters
their desirability as candidates.
This observer wants to compliment
all three of them on the type of
campaign each one of them is wag
ing. 1t is clean; no mud-slnging
attacks. May the best man win.
While this writer has already
stated that he doesn't feel compe-
tent to make any predictions, it
would seem reasonable to expect
Judge Angstman to get large vote
for reelection to the supreme court,
signifying the confidence that the
common people of the state, farm
ers, laborers, small business men
and professional men must have in
his integrity, his intellectual hon.
esty and judicial probity. His rec
ord shows that wherever he has
been able to find for the common !
man without violating any of the
dictates of those fine traits in his
he has done so. We are
hopeful that the intelligent apprais-
al of the mass of the people of the
state will dictate and give him a
zeal "vote of confidence" from
hem.
Finally, we want to urge the vot-
RS to give real attention to the
legislative ticket. Surely they must

President Roosevelt indicated
today to a House committee that
he might make a fireside chat to
the people on the rubber and
gasoline problems as soon as he
completed a study of the situa-
ton and assembled the facts.
The committee, h e d G d by
Representative Kleberg (D-Tcx)
was created by an informal
meeting of legislators opposed to
nationwide gasoline rationing
until the reasons for it were full
ly developed and the facts
presented to Congress.

said was supported by approx
