MR. JACK WARNER,
Warner Bros. Motion Picture Co..
New York City, N. Y.
Dear Jack:
7 CERTAINLY do not wish anything to impair our
friendship and l hope that criticism OF any screen
product offered for public patronage and customarly
subject to public criticism will not be considered an UNI
warranted unfriendly act.
Our papers printed the criticism by Prof Dewey and
Suzanne Lafoette of your film, mission TO Moscow,
because we thought the criticism presented not only
truly American viewpoint but acual statement OF the
situation and that both American viewpoint and
facual statement were necessary for the enlightenment
of the public.
You say our papers Should state the other side of
the reply such attacks Dewey and Lafoete
Your film, Mr.. Warner, gives "the other side of the
case"-the Communist side-quite completely.
Ny contention that it is entirely essential not only
in the interests of FAIRNESS, but in the interests of
FREEDOM, for a American newspaper to print the
ANTI Communist-the DEMOCRATIC side of the case.
l think it is quite much the duty of the American
press defend democracy against bolshevsm against
facism nazsm any other form of totaltaran
tyranny
II am sorry that we disagree on the proper function
of the press-and of the moving picture.
But l you will realize that our attitude to-
ward your screen product (an attitude frequently
favorable but in this frankly criticaD is guided by
personal unfriendness, but merely by of
public duty. Sincerely,
w. r. HEARST.

Dear w. r.:
\/OUR papers displayed Yesterday complete reprint OF
l three-colum letter by John Dewey and Suzanne
Iafolette which appeared Sunday before in New York
Times denouncing picture Mission to Moscow from
Trotskyst point of view.
Yesterday in Times letter of similar length by
pr Arthur Upham Pope, eminent authority, defending
film from American viewpoint.
In view of our long friendship submitting to you
that reproduction of the Pope letter your papers would
De only fair to all concerned.
Or YOU might prefer to publish article by your own
former Moscow correspondent James f. Brown who
served in Russia during Davies term.
Am sure YOU appreciate that neither Joseph +.
Davies or Warner Bros. are not propagandzng COM
munsm.
We made Mission to Moscow with view to enlight-
onmcnt Of American public in present world crisis.
With Russia our ally. we tried to give people an
insight into that country through American ambassa-
doris eyes.
That is explanation Of our making Mission to Mos
cow aud all fairness your papers should state the
other side Of the reply to such attacks as Dewey
and LafolIette
know YOU viii give this your serious consideration
and that the articles the other side will also be
printed in your valuable papers. Sincerely,

FOR the fifth time in % months, the prime
minister of Great Britain has been in con-
sultation with the President of the United
States. Their first meeting occurred in August,
1912, aboard the American cruiser AUGUSTA
off the coast of New Foundland. Mr. Churchill
reached the rendezvous in one of the most
powerful battleships of the British feet. Each
head of government was accompanied by lead
ing army and navy officers, and the rendezvous
took place on the American ship.
The United States at this time was not in
the war, but American feeling was whole
heartedly against the Axis invasons and con-
cerned with the detectives of the struggle, in
which many Americans still felt that we
should not engage. AS result of this meeting,
the ATLANTIC CHARTER was composed,
agreed to, and widely published.
Four months later, the United States was
In the war by reason of the attack of Japan
and declarations Of war upon us made by
Germany, Japan and Italy made Immediately
following.

decision. Russia required support in continuing

WITHIN two weeks Of Pearl Harbor Mr..
W Churchill visited the President again, at
Washington. He spent Christmas at the White
House and the two leaders together listened
to the news that Hong Kong and then Manila
had fallen. Again there was an official declara-
of common purpose, adhered 70 by % other
governments within the following days.
1t is presumable that at this first meeting
after the United States entered the war, Mr.
Roosevelt agreed TO the policy brought by Mr..
Churchill that the United States join its
strength with other United Nations in active
warfare against the Axis in Europe and in
conducting a waiting war in the Far East
against the furious progress of Japan. This
was vital decision which determined for both
countries the general strategy of the war for
the year and half which has followed.
Whether this decision was wholly neces-
sary, entirely wise and in full accord with
American interests only time and the future
- course of the war can determine. But a de-
cison had to be made. United efforts between
Great Britain and the United States had to be
achieved and supplemented and the only men
who could make this decision were the heads
of the two great governments concerned.

A LII things considered. it may be judged
remarkable that within a space of six
months, American naval strength was restored
and the progress of organizing and training
land troops and air forces in the United States
could have so far succeeded that in June.
nearly year ago the prime minister could
again meet the President TO plan landing In
North Africa Of American and British forces.
In this North African struggle the value
of co-ordinated action by the two nations has
been fully illustrated. The organization Of the
Allied forces, land. sea. and air. was agreed
upon in January of this year when the Presi-
dent flew by way of the Caribbean, Brazil and
the West African coast, 10 meet and confer
with Churchill and Allied stats at Casablanca.
Morocco. This combined operation has now
ended in complete victory.
IT is difficult to apportion the exact credit
between military, naval and air leaders in
this Allied operation. 1t is evident all have
done their duty well. But TO Gen. Eisenhower
must go full credit for having accomplished
the most difficult of all military operations
the assignment Of precise, co-ordinated mis-
sions to each and every element, the exact
timing OF their attacks and their full support
of one another, and the preservation of con-
fdence, respect and good manners between the
personnel, divided az they might have become,
by national pride and national preferences
How important to the success and the
morale Of an Allied force mutual esteem and
generosity are, can be seen by contrasting our
own North African operation with the joint
operations of Germans and Italians in the
forces which opposed own. All accounts
stress the hatred and animosity existing be-
tween the Germans and Italians in the Axis
forces that have now suffered annihilation

Important to royalty owners Of
Montana are the recently announced
figures on crude Old reserves for this
state, prepared and adopted by the
regional committee of Petroleum Ad-
ministration for War.
The committee established that
there are 100000 barrels Of
proven reserves in Montana and an
additional 1877, 000, 900 barrels OF pos
sibie reserves, the latter awaiting
the drdlL.
One eighth or 1919 per cent Of
that oil belongs to the owners Of the
land. OF the 1e7, 100000 barrels Of
known oil remaining In Montana's
proven oil fialds, q, 625, 600 barrels
viii be delivered TO the landowners
or their assigns FREE OF COST OF
PRODUCTION. That is Montana's
take of the future development
of presently producing fields. It Is
the reward for faith In the Treasure
State-expressed by the ownsrship
Of lands or Of mineral rights In
the lands. This sum Of S22, 626, 900
VIII go to those who own royalties
In the present producing oil fields
Cut Bank, Kevin-Sunburgt, Pomders,
Cat Greek, Dry Greek and smaller
proven areas.
The owners Of royalties in these
fields have thus far received around
$4,000, 900. That means that If oil
averages 81 per barrel in the future,
the owners of royalties in present
proven fields viii receive total Of
$37, $50, 900.
Thereafter comes the development
Of possible reserves Of 197, 00O, 900.
If this Oh brings an average Of 81
per barrel, the owners Of royalties
on these other structures semi
proven areas viii receive SEA-
625, 900.

$47,25O,OOO.OO In Sight,

Montana's established market be-
fore the war was 10000 barrels Of
crude per day or 1900, 900 barrels
per year. War demands have eE-
banded this requirement 70 1000
barrels per day, which Is more than
present wells Can produce. AS soon
as operators are given price for
their crude proportionate to the cost
Of producing 1t, more wells viii be
drilled and this state will supply
the growing markets, especially Of
Canada where the Alaska highway
viii create the greatest new market
for petroleum products on the
American continent. Experts tell Us
that the demands for gasoline and
tractor fuel on the Alaska highway
viii be greater in peace time than
in war time. Certainly this highway
opens Americas last and greatest
frontier and the travel and traffic
to interior Alaska and the Yuksn
will be the greatest in history.
That market will be pulling on
Montana reserves for many years 10
come. That means that Montana
must immediately tap those apos-
sible reserves" by development of
either new areas or new horigons

In neither proven reserves" nor

included for possible production be-
low the top of the Madison lime.
That not only one but SEVERAL
