GREEK GOVT
In EXILE" NOT
POPULAR

The attitude of the people Of Greece
toward their former king who per
mitted Dictator Metaxes to take con
troll of the government is indicated
by reports that when the king ap-
peared to review the Greek troops in
Great Britain, veterans who served
under General Montgomery in Africa,
His Majesty was greeted with cries
of go to He'll" not only from the
rank and file soldiers but also from
commissioned officers.
Great Britain has been warned by
liberal Greek circles that it is use
less to support the king. While he
has promised that when the war ends
he will appoint new government
which will represent all parties in the
country, the people of Greece have no
faith in him as he had previously
to the entry of Metaxes made the
same promise and promptly broken
it.
1t is stated by these liberal circles
that any efforts by the State depart
ment or the British foreign office to
support the establishment of the king
in power again after the war, will
precipitate a revolution in
Greece.

But the attack by organized labor
on Secretary Ickes was most signifi-
cant. Until this time Ickes and his or
ganization had escaped serious attack
despite the fact that oil experts in
practically every other agency of the
government had not hesitated to con-
denim PAW and Ickes. Congressional
committees have listened to Ickes and
the propaganda for higher prices-and
hence higher excess profits-and have
been silent. Even the consumer COM
mittees which have denounced infla-
tionary measures overlooked the oil
trust and its demand and have not
criticized Ickes. 1t seemed Ickes and
PAW and the oil trust were blessed
with a charmed existence. But the
oil propaganda has been so Grass it
could not be digested.
1t is interesting that an Industrial
ist temporarily employed in the War
Production Board, expressed his
amazement at Ickes' demand for an
increase in price of oil and gasoline.
He talked with this writer just three
days prior to the statement by the
Labor Policy Committee.
"There is not a week passes but

port in WPB and it shows that the
profits of the oil companies, after
taxes, mind you, are far in excess of
what they were last year." he said.

ment was unvarnished:

CHICAGO.-A proposal for the or

to the board of directors of The Co

The proposal would extend the prin-

In addition import purchase was car

Montana, at present, is pretty well

Committee CUTS
WAGES OF COTTON
PICkERS 1907

| II. L. Mitchell, general secretary OF
the Southern Tenant Farmers Union
said today that the National Cotton
Councils plan to improve the grade
of cotton by requiring pickers TO har-
vest it free of leaf and trash could
only be successful if cotton pickers'
wages are raised to $500 per hun
dred pounds.
The National Cotton Council headed
by Oscar Johnson of Sc,tt. Missis-
sippi, manager Of the worlds largest
cotton plantation, met in Memphis
August 16 and announced plans for a
southwide campaign to be conducted
by the War Food Administration to
produce better cotton for war mate
rails and a quality that can overcome
competition offered by synthetic fib-
ers such as rayon.
According to Mitchell the average
worker can pick $50 pounds per day
in the usual manner but if picker
is required to pick the cotton clean
then he will do well to average 100
pounds per day. Last year, he said,
members of the Southern Tenant
Farmers Union were paid $500 per
hundred pounds and their wages dur
ing the season averaged $500 per
day"
Following the conference of the Ma
tional Cotton Council in Memphis the

tablished by the Arkansas, Mississippi
and Tennessee Agricultural Extension

COMMITTEE
HOLDS HEARING
I'm kALISPELL

A hearing by the special congress
sional committee which has been
making a survey of Montana's water
resources was held in Kalispell yes
terday, at which Governor Ford dis
cussed in detail the possibilities of
development of Montana's water re-
sources for irrigation and power.
At a previous meeting held in Boise,
Idaho, attended by the five governors
of the northwest states, an overall
| plan for the development of the water
resources of the Columbia River basin
had been formulated and an organiza-
ton known as the Northwest Develop
ment Association was formed Mem
bers of this association is composed
of the governor and an advisory COM
mittee of 10 from each of the five
states. The general proposal, accord
ing to Governor Ford is for each of
the states to plan for the use of its
waters within it's borders and this
plan to be fitted into master plan"
for the entire basin, thereby avoiding
any conflicts on state rights.
The governor states that at the
present time plans so far developed
contemplates dividing the basins of
Montana into five major divisions
These are:
1. The Kootenai valley.
2. Flathead River valley from Para
disc to its headwaters.
3. Clark Fork valley from the Mon
tana-Idaho state line to it's headwaters
near Butte.
4. Bitterroot valley from Missoula
to its headwaters.
s. Blackfoot valley from Bonner to
its headwaters.

only tentative and the state reserves
the right to make future revisions if
