I don't think that either Nelson
or Wilson had to use these much
criticized systems. Their fights
were too much in the open. But
other government officials have used
them and the only question. Is
whether they were justified in fight
ing fire with fire or were merely
trying to hide their own inefficient
cies by using a very dangerous ex-
tinguisher.
Still, think that it's a pretty

FORD HAS DONE WELL

Governor Sam c. Ford has not yet announced his candidacy.
We hope and expect that he will do so. We believe there are
definite and positive reasons for his reelection.
Because he has been a peoples governor rather than a poll
tcian's governor, he has not been as politically popular as some
chief executives. This is one point to his credit. We believe the
state has had its best administration in years.
If voters wish to measure a governmental unit by Its cost
thew may note a reduction in state taxes the past few years and
with it a marked Gu. in state operating expenses. The Montana
treasury has a surplus and the governor, in plain speech, has
told what he thinks should be done with this money. He says
it will be used in the postwar period for projects that our state
really needs and wants highways, irrigation and soil conser-
walton and construction of buildings at our state institutions
some of this work necessarily postponed by the war.
There has been a strong measure OF cooperation between
the state and county governmental units. This has been non
partisan in nature, also something that was not always true in
the past.
The governor has shown a sincere desire for lair represen-
tation of all groups and interests concerned in the state S well
fare. In this respect, he certainly has not worked on narrowly
partisan lines.
Although his opposition has been alert to develop criticism
of the governors administration, it has been able to find only
trivial issues.
Montana has done well under the Ford administration and
with no reflection on opposing c~andidates) we believe it would
be good policy and good business to re-elect him.

RADIO TALK
ON MONTANA
Ford Predicts Resources Will
Play a Major Role" in
Postwar World.

OMAHA, N~eb.,-Montana's great
undeveloped resources cannot fail to
play a major role in shaping the
postwar world" its governor, Sam c.
Ford, declared here in a coast
forecast radio address.
Speaking or a program arranged
by the Union Pacific railroad, Gov
ernor Ford said, ITO the man or
woman of individual enterprise,
Montana offers unlimited opport-
unitieS."
Describing Montana, divided into
two large geographical areas, the
eastern farming and stockgi owing
region and the western mining
district, he asserted that, 'in this
third year of our wal against the
Axis, all of Montana, from the
great divide to the fork of the
Missouri and Yellowstone rivers, is
devoting itself to the cause of
victory.
1T is true that our cities and
towns are few and widely scattered.
1t is true that population is only
three and e~ight-tenths persons per
square mile. But these facts merely
serve to emphasize the important
work we r doing, per person, in
these times of national need. In
addition, they serve to emphasize
the fact that Montana is a state
with a future"

Control for Controls Sake
(New York Times

The mark of the totalitarian state is the complete control attempts to exercise all the activities of the individual Yet, curiousy, result of the war, many sincere people who constantly pay lip service to
 democracy" and freedom" afraid of the effects of democracy and freedom and the exercise of free economic choice by individuals after the The prospect that and women after the war will once more go into the lines that promise them the biggest profits the highest wages, and provide the goods and services for which there is the greatest public demand and at the prices that supply and demand dictate fills these people with alarm This exercise free choice by and producers they call chaos" What they wish instead is continued plan ming by which they mean Government planning and continuance of bureaucratic controls Only so they think can we ourselves from the chaos of free choice.
 Now it is of course true that return to a free economy orderly way only by wellconceived positive policies the part of the Government The reason for this is obvious Through war production our economy has become dependent as never before upon war orders. The Government is today not only the greatest single customer of business but in many lines is today the sole customer If the Government should the end of hostilities suddenly cancel it's billions of dollars of orders and do nothing else there would be chaotic period before normal free enter prise employment could be restored We-thought- out positive policies required on the part of Government to bridge this transition period
 But this does not necessarily mean stubborn continuance of the controls that now in existence after the need for those controls has passed on the contrary the sudden termination of hostities may require certain the quickest possible abandon ment of controls. All responsible quarters are now agreed that when the war ends, It would be a con- fusion of thought that would lead to criminal waste for the Government to go ordering the production of planes and tanks and shells in undimnished amount just to continue to give employment In the same way it would only retard conversion and proong Reorganization to keep many of the existing wage and price controls after they had outved their usefulness.
 Just as the vested interests of peacetme in some cases prevented conversion to war basis as soon as We might otherwise have made the con- version so the vested interests of wartime may prevent our conversion to peace with the promptness that will be necessary We may expect to find the publicity men and many of the officials of the wartime agencies arguing that their agency is even more needed m peacetime and providing a series of specious argu- ments to prove it. Now and during the unavoidable transition period will carfy public thought ii one guiding rule is followed This is that the burden Of proof the retention of each wartime control should be placed after ceases not on those who believe that the control should be dropped but on those who insist on retaining it. We do not want any postwar controls merely for controls sake.

Idicated that he knew was Jesse Jones, who had captured Coke Stevenson when he emerged from the White House and had kept him the rest of the day. Jesse said the compromise plan was fine plan and he was for it. This was the only thing Wallace ever originated that Jesse agreed with.
 However, Roosevelt's real friends chewed the air. They pointed out that the Stevenson Wallace com promise gave the Republicans three big advantages. First, they could initiate legal proceedings to have the pro-Roosevelt electors taken off the ballot, leaving only the anti-Roosevelt men on the ticket Second, ballot with three lists of
 electors-RoosevelS, anti-Roosevelt and would be so con- fusing that it would help the Re- publicans. Third, Republicans, by voting for anti-Roosevelt electors, could definitely win.
 So it looks as if Tom Dewey really has made some progress in Texas
