THOSE LEND-LEASE RUMORS

One doesn't hear them so frequently any more, those rumor
about alleged misuse of lend-lease goods, but our axis eneme
still promote them and u%nthinking people sometimes circulate
them.
In a recent interview, Edward Stettinius, lend-ease admins
traitor, scotched quite a few of them. In fact, he makes it
hobby to collect such rumors, printed or by word-Of-mouth
and then set people right.
Here are a few examples:
Rumor: Americans have less available meat than ever before
because so much is sent abroad.
Truth: Last year we got more beef from Australia and New
Zealand than we sent to all the nations entitled to lendlease aid.
Rumor: Lendlease purchases caused a shortage of canned
fruits and vegetables.
Truth: Last year we shipped under lendIease less than one
percent of our canned vegetables and less than two percent of
our canned fruits. AT the same time, Australia and New Zea-
land provided our forces there with more than 100000 pounds
of canned fruits and vegetables as reverse lendlease, without
payment by us, in addition to 100000 pounds of fresh fruits
and vegetables.
Rumor The British could obtain their beef in Argentina and
it would not be necessary to ship any from here.
Truth: Great Britain does buy with her own resources all the
beef that can be shipped from Argentina - besides buying from
Canada, Australia and New Zealand. We send only a trhing
amount of beef to the British only the balance of their mini
mum essential requirements, not obtainable from any other
source. In 1912, our entire shipments of beef under lendlease
amounted to only twotenths of one percent of our supply.
Rumor: Agricultural machinery should not have been sent
TO England when our farmers are in great need of machinery.
Truth: Agricultural machinery sent abroad under lend-lease
is under a program reviewed in cooperation with the war pro-
duction board and endorsed by appropriate ALLEGATION commit
tees. The amount shipped in the year ending Nov. l, 1912, was
only ~ percent of our production. 1t should be remembered,
too, that, on the average, one ton of farm machinery should
make possible the production of eight tons abroad. Great Britain
now produces 60 percent of her own food, instead of only 40
percent, as was true before the war. Increased production there
has reduced the amount of food Great Britain needed from the
United States and the amount of shipping required to move it.
Finally, Mr.. Stettinius says: 81 hope the question of war
debts will never come up. LendIease is not a loan of money.
1t is a weapon, one of the most powerful we have. We are being
paid right along in the damage our allies are doing with what
we send them"

STEVENS. EMPIRE FINDER

Last week died a man without whose fOrthude northern Mon
tana might not have today the advantages of a transcontinenta
railway line. He was John F. Stevens, one of the nations great
engineers.
James j. Hill, founder of the Great Northern, earned the
name of empire builder. Stevens was his empire finder.
In the winter of 1883 1889, the st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Manitoba, which was to become the Great Northern, paused
in its westward construction rush over the Great Plains. 1t had
reached Havre and then turned southwark. To its west, what
great Livingston and Lewis ranges of snow-capped mountains
which now compose the scenic attractions of Glacier National
park.
The white men knew of no route through these rugged peaks.
1t appeared that Hill must either turn north into Canada, or
else go far the other way, to the southern border of Montana.
Stevens, enlisted by Hill to run the line from Montana to
the coast, found that middle route. He had heard Indian gossip
of a pass. In midwinter, he went to search the mountains. Twice
he was baked by false openings in the huge chain. On the
third attempt, he wallowed in snow almost tree high and in
a mountain blizzard. Even his hardy Indian guide deserted him.
But he continued on, finally reached the summit of what is
today Marias pass and made certain that the gradient sloped
away to the Pacific. Thus, Jim Hills folly" became a fact.
Stevens went on to greater achievements. To him goes much
of the credit for completion of the Panama canal, by insisting
that the findings of DR.. Gorgas to combat yellow fever be en-
forced. He headed many great construction projects and Tor
several years c~oordinated traffic over the Trans-Siberian rail
way. But to Montana he will be the man whose epic struggle
with the elements and whose unyielding determination made
possible the ultimate development of a great inland empire.

Renewals Allowed
TO subscriptions
OF Men Overseas

Recent ruling of the postal de-
partment will allow renewal OF
subscriptions of newspapers going
to soldiers overseas by any rela-
tive or friend, without a written
request from the soldier.
The Courier is now going to
many soldiers from this section to
overseas addresses. Many of these
subscriptions will soon expire and
renewal must be received promptly
upon expiration or before.
Once the name of a soldier over
seas is taken from the list, it will
be necessary to have a written re-
quest from him, just as for a new
soldier subscribe overseas, to have
the name put back on the list.
The postoffice ruling is still in
force requiring a request direct
from the man, if he is serving over
seas. This, however, applies only
to the army and does not include
the navy, coast guard Oh marine

A STORY REPEATED

An ever recurring problem with which both city and county
officials must deal is vandalism. However, we are not alone
in this respect. This year, frequent complaints have been re-
ceived. They involve destruction and even theft of property.
Flowers and s~hrubbery in Glasgow have been wantonly dam
aged. We agree with public officials that the problem is one
which parents must solve, and that any damage must be the
responsibility of parents. Fathers and mothers should not shirk
if or attempt to shift it. If such cases continue, consequences
in the future may be more serious.
