OUR CORRESPONDENT is
MISTAKEN

A former wef1-known Libby man
who is now serving his country in
the South Pacific writes this news
paper and intimates that perhaps it
would be just as well if we didn't
play up so frequently stories about
the wild animals of this district,
such as bears, cougars, deer, elk
and the like. He says such stories
leave an impression on the boys in
his detachment that Montana is still
a land of the wild and Woolly.
Well, now, we believe his mild
criticism is not we'll taken. 1t has
long been firm conviction among
Montana publicity men that Mon
tana's wild life resources hold a
great deal of interest for the pros
pective tourist. Such stories were
eagerly sought SO as to give Mon
tana that flavor Of tie West that
many still love to read about. They
help to create a lively interest in
our splendid state. We found it not
many years ago in cultured Bos-
ton. We ran onto the same thing
in Minnesota. To be sure, we were
forced to chuckle to ourselves at
some of the mistaken notions peo
pie of the eastern states had con-
corning Montana but all of them
had a deep desire someday to visit
the wonderful West.
No, we hardly believe We shall let
UP on the bear and cougar, the deer
and moose stories. They have virlle
flavor that is altogether too valu-
able to pass by And everyone
likes to read them, be he from the
East or from the West

DON'T ASK FOR PLUMS

The National Publisher has the
following to say about the much
discussed proposal to have the Gov
eminent pay for war bond adver-
Using, a proposal that was recently
killed by the congress. We quote:
The National Editorial Associa-
ton. in common with many other
newspaper organizations, has ia
vored the principle of Government
paid advertising It will continue
to do so, providing that advertis
ing can be fairly distributed SO that
it will bring the Governments war
bond messages to all of the peo-
ple-not simply to one section Of
the country or one segment of the
population The small newspapers
have consistently opposed the Gov
ernment's present method because
it did not place war bond messages
before that part of the American
public living in towns Of less than
10000 These same small neWspa-
pers are still opposed to the idea
Of concentrating on one segment of
the population-even though the
small newspapers in this instance
might reap some financial benefits
Americas Hometown neWspa-
pers want no special favors. They
want no political plums, pap, sub
sides or special treatment They
do ask now, as they have in the
past, for fair and impartial treat
ment by Government and industry.
They ask that the 81 percent of our
people who live in small towns be
appraised of the Governments war
time financing proposals in man
ner as intensive and as efficient as
the Government may employ, by
whatever methods, in larger cities

vegetable oils and carrots and to-
matoes, but at the same time any
reasonable statement of food needs
must recognize not only the diff
Guilty of changing food habits quick
ly but also the production factors
which can diversity the diet consid-
erably."
It is mighty little to ask of us if,
by getting along with little less
of our favorite foods, we can help to
feed a hungry world. How little
that small sacrifice is when meas
ured against actual starvation. And
thousands of people are starving
today throughout the world.

A SMALL SACRIFICE

If you have not already done so,
turn to the Washington Digest
in this issue and read it. It is we'll
worth the time. The writer thereof
has a most informative analysis Of
world conditions.
He also writes about u. S. food
production and world needs He
quotes DR. John ID. Black of Har-
ward to the effect that if the United
States were to adopt minimum
diet and still devote its energies to
producing its present volume Of
food, there would be enough food
left over to feed another 100 mill
lion people. DR.. Black further says.

u. S. Food Production
And World Needs

A detailed analysis of the worlds
food, fiber and tobacco needs and the
part the United States must play in
supplying them now and in the post
war period, has been made public
by the National Planning associa-
ton.
IF The United States were to adopt
a minimum diet :. and direct its
present food-producing resources
and agricultural labor accordingly, )"
says the National Planning associa-
ton Ca non-g governmental organiza-
tom, "there would be enough food
left over to feed another one hum
dred and thirty million people"
The report, World Needs for u. S.
Food and Fiber" was prepared
by DR.. John D. Black of Harvard.
DR.. Black is also member of the
Food and Nutrition board of the Ma
tional Research council and on the
Economic panel which is advising
the United Nations Interim commits
sion on food and agriculture.

expanded to meet the needs of the
United Nations, the armed forces,
our own civilians, and to aid starv-
ing countries, the report contends.
But even with greatly expanded pro-
duction, it holds out little hope for an
end to all rationing for year or
even two years after the war.
"A highly efficient, low cost, bal
anced human diet can be compound
ed from whole wheat, potatoes, peas
and beans, whole milk, vegetable oils
and carrots and tomatoes, says DR..
Black, "but at the same time, any
reasonable statement of food needs
must recognize not only the difficulty
of changing food habits quickly but
also the production factors which
can diversity the diet considerably"

The achievement. first and fore

a-wrong, is that Russia emerges in
new role. As Secretary Hull firm
ly believes. the fate of the world de-
ponds now on Russia and the United
States.
Until the Moscow conference with
the Teheran meeting to put its seal
upon it, Russia was still an interna-
tional enigma. She was fighting
the same enemy that we were in
Europe. But she was in no sense
an ally.
Today she is still fighting the same
enemy in Europe but is allied with
us.
Those are the main fruits of the
Moscow and Teheran conferences.

unwavering determination of this
hardy son of Tennessee that broke
down the barriers of suspicion and
distrust and found a common way
for Russia to march solidly shoulder

lea in this war and to give promise
that the three would face the peace
afterward with the nearest thing to
international altruism that this
weary world can expect.

About Chang kai-shek
We cannot omit from any discus
sion of these meetings what Amer
lea achieved when she brought
Chang Kai-shek into the picture. The
Chinese believe in America. They
think we have decent ideals But
they assayed us as a still more or
less kindly. indifferent people who.
without much thought. would dance
to the British tune. And Britain they
distrusted
They know now that America had
the breadth of view and the acumen
to use that word again in its best

councils of the Allies 1t was Hull
who insisted that China become a
co-signatory of the four-nation agree
ment at Moscow 1t was America,
Hull, Roosevelt honever you wish
to credit for the act-who brought
Chang into the Cairo conference.
Strangely enough, America near
err to Europe by the racial ties of
great part Of its citizenry, is even
closer to Europe's culture than the
residents of the tight little British
Isles themselves. Yet Americas ig-
norance of Europe S real needs and
thoughts is vast compared to that

lea does seem to understand the Far
East, can sympathize with it, and
once America assumes the position
to which her mighty power gives her
the right, she can be the real in
terpreter between the East and the
West. And lacking an interpreter,
the East can only become a great
potential enemy, protagonist of ra-
cial hatreds and racial wars.
America won her spurs at Moscow
and Teheran, all we can ask is the
support of the people SO that she
can wear them with the honor she
loves, with the power she has.
