board this week to speed the delivery
OF critical materials necessary to the
manufacture of farm machinery, Les
lie A. Miller, regional WPB director,
announces.
recommended by WPB's office of
civilian supply, the high rating will be
applied to material for new machinery
as well as for repair parts for exist
ing equipment now in use on the ma
TONS vital farms, Mr. Miller said The

work on tillage tools and other equip.
ment needed for the coming spring
planting season.
Involved in the priority assignment
are 218,000 product tons of steel, in
addition to other critical materials,
which will be marked for delivery to

Dear Mr. Bruce:
Several years ago, | lived in the
state of Iowa. At that time we had
the old caucus system in place of our
present primary law of voting. Under
the old party caucus system in Mitch
ell county Iowa, the politicians would
meet in a room in one of the banks
and name the candidates for both
political parties. The presidents of
our three banks, Johnson, Brush and
Sweeney, had control and outlined the
candidates and the people could do
nothing about it. This old system
was very unfair and corrupt, to say
the least.
I hope our Legislators won't fall for
the return of this spoil system or
anything like it.
Let's fight to keep our present pri-
mary system in Montana, the only fair
way to select candidates for offices.
Watch the politicians that want to
change the primary laws. They are
tricky.
Yours truly,
o. J. JOHNSRUD.

COOP TWO MESSED

When the soldiers of Emperor
Claudius II led the great st. Valen
tine to the chopping block on Feb
18th PIT " A. D. he was followed by q
big black horse.
This horse was loved by all the
people of that time, and this horse
was similar to other horses but for
one spot; this spot was at the ex
IRENE south end of the horse facing
north. The people of that day could
not agree as to what this spot resem-
bled
Little did the people of that time
know or think that in the 18th cen
fury there would be developed the
thing for which this spot resembled.
This thing happens to be employed
by the Farmers Union or something,
and is engaged in writing a column
that would be very interesting to the
horses. H.

be called the worlds most consist

The aged man declared that he
has visited every country in the
world, every city in the United
States 10 or Is times, every city in
Cuba, Mexico, and Canada. He has
been in South America three times.
He was born in Sparta Greece but
early in life came to the United
States. He is a court interpreter
and during life has worked in many
important offices in Washington.
He speakes and translates six Ian
guages.

while in Ell Centre. II can remem-
Der the names of persons I met 80
years ago"
Asked if he believed the Russians
would stop at their old borders,
Mats said he believed Russia would
go on into Germany.
Russia was the only Allied coun-
try prepared for the present war
I have been in Russia several times
and know the Russians have been
preparing for war for Is years, u
Matis said.
II do not think Russia will try
to rule Europe. Josef Stain is
basically a religious man. He be-
lieved in Christianity and self-gov-
ernment. In his youth, Stain pre-
pared for the ministry"

Stave0ff Defeat,
Said German Idea

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-UP)
German military leaders have
given up hope of winning the war
and are directing all their efforts
toward staving off defeat, Lieut..
Gen. Joseph T. McNarney, army
deputy chief of staff, told a con-
ference of industrial, labor and
newspaper leaders here today.
McNarney said the Allied aerial
offensive in Europe and the Pac-
ific has set the stage for decisive
action.
Our air offensive against Ger
many" he said, has forced them
to make decision which will be
full of meaning to you production
men. The combined bomber Of
fensive against Germany has forced
the Germans to drastically reduce
the production of bombers and to
concentrate on the production of
fighters"

NEW LEAGUE MAY BE
BORN IN MOSCOW

The tri-partite conference which Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr. Churchill will attend
as the guests of Premier Josef Stain may
well see the birth of another League of
Nations or similar international organi-
zation TO promote permanent peace
Ostensibly the meeting will be to dis
cuss Allied actions on the battlefrOnts
and perhaps to settle some political
questions which arise over boundaries in
postwar Europe.
But the scene is set for something even
bigger than that.
The House of Representatives of the
United States has approved the Full
bright resolution urging that attempts
be made to secure a lasting peace, the
American Legion has approved a SINH
lar declaration and the American people
are firmly behind such a program.
Our state department headed by Secre-
tary Cordell Hull has put the stamp of
approval upon any efforts to set up ma
chinery for lasting peace and has ad-
vocated that force be used if need be to
insure that the peace not be broken.
The rather staid upper house of the
national legislature has not actually
been sounded on its feelings upon an
international organization but it is doubt
full if it's senate will go against any such
move because of strong public sentiment
for it.
America has learned its lesson. Our
government refused to have anything to
do with the first League set up after
World War /. 1t will not make the same
mistake again.
England, Russia and the other coun-
tries on our side in this struggle are just
as fed up with war as we are. They
realize that a civilization based upon
slavery will never advance.
The actual feasibility of the first
League is even doubtful but there is a
very strong possibility that had the Unit
ed States participated in it our men
would not now be fighting on foreign
SOIL
Russia, England and the United States,
the big three, with other smaller nations
now aligned against the Axis way of life,
could be the saviors of the civilized
world. The same three nations which
will crush out the last vestige of the
dictators' philosophers within very
short time will be in position to insure
by the use of force or other methods
that the hellfury of another global con-
flict will not again erupt'
Moscow may be the scene of historic
events in the not too distant future.

The Allies have seized the Dodecanese
islands of Cos, Leros and Samos off Tur-
key and the islands of Capri-remember

the Gulf of Naples in what appears to be
highly strategic moves. The Italians
have chased the Germans off Sardinia
and with the help of French commandos
and allied warships are attempting to
oust the nazis from Corsica.
All of which leads us to observe that
a smart man, guessing four or five years
ago that we might get into world war,
scarcely could have imagined what
part in such a struggle islands, scattered
all over the face of the earth, would play
in its strategy. in no other major war

After RealignInent

WASHINGTON, Sept. II. (UP)-
Secretary of State Cordell Hull left
today for a brief Virginia vacation
after sudden reorganization among
agencies dealing with foreign al
fairs which establishes the state
department on top of the heap.
The secretary and Mrs. Hull will
spend a few days in Hot Springs,
va, evidently to enable Hull to
prepare for his long journey to
Moscow where he is expected to
meet next month with the British
and Soviet Union foreign secretar-
les.
simultaneously it was reliably re-
ported that w. Averell Hartman,
lend-lease expediter with head
quarters in London, had been ten
tatively chosen to succeed Admiral
william H. Standley as U. S. am
bassador to the Soviet Union.
Hulls Virginia breather follows
some weeks of state department tur-
moil accompanied by the forced res
ignation Of Sumner Welles as un-
dersecretary, repeatedly on the in
sistence of Huh
In the weekend reorganization of
responsibilities of foreign agencies,
Edward r. Wtettinius, jr., son of
a Morgan and Co., partner and for
mer chairman of the board of the
United States Steel corporation, was
named to succeed Welles. His selec-
ton generally is applauded here.
Stettinius was chosen largely be-
cause as lend-lease administrator
here he has become familiar with
slobal and political conditions, but
but his administration ability also
was u major factor in the selection.
