the United States shall consist onl.
in levying war against them, or IL
adhering to their enemies, giving then
aid and comfort"
Already the Standard Oil and Du
Points have been charged OF giving ai(
but little Is said of it and many othel
law created citizens (monied corpora
tions) are well known to be subjects
for thorough investigation but oul
legal authority sets it aside for some
future time and lets the question Of
| treason lie and work of aiding oul
enemies continue, as it would appear
to thinking people.
Now Argentina insists on remain
ing neutral while our large meat pack
ing firms of the United States are
made able, by their holdings there to
deal aid to our enemies by supplying
them food, and at the same time re-
tain all national claim and relation
to U. S. as well as protection of our
armed forces now shedding their
blood for protection and defense of
what appears their treason.
The question as it stands now rests
in one point of law, can corporations
and trusts and money manipulators
commit crimes against our laws and
the constitution and get away with it.,
while private individuals can be false
ly charged with crime-even commun-
ism-and placed in jeopardy of life
and possibly confiscation of property
by excessive fines and Imprisonment?
If big industry is known to be aid
ing our enemies why should their
holdings here in the United States
not be seized by our federal govern
ment the same as confiscated war
Why should officials of such cor
porations not be arrested, prosecuted
and receive the penalty for treason,
and stockholders forfeit their holdings
in the company?
Does corporation charter protect
Individual members in the commission
Of crime or do our laws have appli-
cation to part of our people only?
If our laws do not give protection
% all people regardless of position in
life, then is it possible that lawyers
n congress or government positions
ire accepting fees in furnishing them
needed aid in slipping past the law?
Election is at hand and thorough |
lifting should be made of each can
lidate. VIII he conscientiously place
he well-being of the nation and the
eople as a whole purpose, or seek
overs for dealers in greed and crime?

HAROLD YOUNG,
Assistant to the Vice President

/ Rudyard, Mont, July II, 1874
Editor, The Peoples Voice
| In the Congressional Record of Jul.
6 1912, page A2S23, in the extension
of remarks of the Hon. Clinton P
Anderson Of New Mexico, we noticed
the following quotations. "The secre
tary OF agriculture has expressed the
hope that for 1943 the wheat acreage
can be dropped to 21,000,000 acres as
against the present legal minimum o.
| SIS 100000 acres"
Since the beginning of the contro
program; the farmers of Montana
have sincerely tried to comply, but
the administration allowed many
states that normally did not produce
wheat to increase their acreage, which
resulted in an increase of about 90.
100000 acres by 1887 in our total ma
tional acreage. The 1897 record shows
a national acreage of 80,000,000 acres.
1t was necessary to stop that increase
and those acres were brought into
the control program, but were given a
wheat base on acreage built up while
the acreage in Montana was being re-
duced Our acreage has been cut
twice now, the effect is that the adj
ministration has taken acreage from
states that was not normally wheat
producing states. The records show
all Montana wheat is a premium
wheat. The records also show the
wetter area produces a lower grade
wheat that is a surplus wheat, and
the grain trade does not pay premi-
ums for the low grade wheat. The
records of our experiment stations in
dictate we can not produce diversified
crops successfully while the wetter
area can.
The secretary of agriculture, Mr..
states in his speech at Enid,
OKLA, There are large areas that can
not produce little else but wheat"
This area is the semi arid plains
east of the Rockies to about the Tooth
meridian. East from there is ample
ain fall to diversity.
To cut the national acreage to 81
100000 acres is reducing acreage "a
100000 acres, which is more than a
20 per cent reduction. There are
many farmers now with not enough |
Lcreage, and to take more than half |
# the cash income away from the
armers is death blow to the state
f Montana.
hope to see all of the farm organi-
ations of the state unite and call a
lass meeting of all farmers in and
ut of farm organizations, and pro-
est against any more acreage reduc-
ion.
If this is one of those Trial Bal
,ons," Let's puncture it now.
Sincerely yours FRED AFTER.

Bluffton College Vesper Speak
er Says That Indians are
Desperate
Much Confusion i'm Country on
Matter; Over so Per Cent
Illiterate

India wants its freedom from Eng
land the worst possible way and will
even go to the extent of aiding the
Japs to get it, DR.. Harvey Baun1an,
recently returned missionary from
India, told an audience at the Bluff
ton college vesper service in the
Ramseyer chapel Sunday afternoon
The Indian people do not like the
Japanese but have developed such
strong feeling on the matter that
they would actually help the Japan
ese if it meant freedom. The fact
that the japanese control over them
would be at least as burdensome as
the British authority does not seem
to worry the Indians at this moment,
the speaker stated.
CONGRESS PARTY
Feeling for freedom developed in
India with the rise of the Congress
party to power. The party has con-
sistentIy had freedom as the basic
plank IN Its strongly natIonallStlc
program, the speaker said.
Political parties in India are or
ganized according to religion. The
Congress party is the Hindu party
and the second most powerful in
India is the Moslem league. The
Moslem group would like to have
India divided according to the pre-
dominant people in the geographical
unit. This the Congress party has
vigorously opposed, it was pointed
out.
OBSTACLES TO FREEDOM

who voice the belief that India
should be given her freedom imme-
