War Mothers
Club President
Offers Message
By Mary B. SaIois)

AS is my custom, l like to take
time off every now and then to
greet the folks at home and all
one s friends in behalf of the
Browning War Mothers.
In looking back over the past
year it is very evident as a group
we have done we'll and accom-
| plished a great deal in behalf of
our boys and girls in the armed
forces overseas and at home. 1t
proves that our communities on
{ the Blackfeet Reservation have
in mind the welfare of the boys
and girls.
The War Mothers at all times
have tried to be judiclous and
sensible and to do only that
which is entirely for the good of
the boys and girls from our COM
munities.
It's very gratifying to have
people who have been gone from
our midst for a length of time
write and ask us to please have
their boy or girls name inscribed
on the Memorial.
Our efforts and the things we
do as a club is known nationally
and we are being greatly COM
mended.
| have been invited to speak
before some clubs here in Great
Falls and tell just how we did it.
1t is going fine to be able t o
tell them how the folks at home
got right behind US or we would
not have been able to sell calf
three times and make nearly
$500 on it. or how a single buff
alo hide Melted US 5000 or how
our dances or dinners were ca
pacity affairs or how our Tribal
] Council 10 their generosity en-
abled US to send those greetings
to the boys and girls every
month.
| A dollar bill in itself is not so
much, but the intrinsic value is
great. As one boy writes me,
when | get your greeting and
the dollar bill want to cry and
at the same time smile, but | am
filled with such feeling of hap.
piness that you do that for us
boys and all my buddies agree
with me that | came from Gods
country. I'm going to fight hard
to save it to get back there
We know every boy and girl
feels the same way. They tell
US so.
The war is not oyer-far from
it. have Just this day ordered
the sixth Gold Star to be placed
on our Memorial. Our boys and
girls scattered all over know
that some of their relatives will
not come back when they do. So
we at home must not give them
; any reason to feel that we do not
care.
j l am glad that with the fine
loyal help of Leo konnerly and
my vigorous protesting Saturday
afteroon at the church meeting
we were able to make it possible
for every boy and girl in the
armed forces to receive the $45
per capita payment due them,

longer and costlier than hysterical in- tuition
 But even if Hitler is out of power or incapacitated, the wars duration could still depend primarily on political devel- opmentS inside Germany. Should Him. mler be able to keep the army loyal to him, and the generals amenable and sub servient though still in military control, then the war may drag on to the Nazi- decreed climax of national suicide. But it is not beyond possibility that in the chaos that must accompany the Allied advance, the regular army group might seize control with the help of the Gestapo- hating population. And this might shorten the war The Junkers, though they're bad lot, haven't the reputation of continuing wars once they know they're beaten.

Training for War

Americas production miracle of war materiel is fairly we'll understood by the general public Most people are aware of the innumerable implements of war that we have produced for our armed forces as well as for those of our Allies. What is not generally known is the tremend- ouS task that has been accomplished ln the training of the thousands of technl- cal specialists required in a mechanized army, navy, and air force, as well as Ill the factories producing the equipment. These specially trained technicianS are the men behind the scenes who are re- SponSible for the maintenance of equip ment in the field and on the sea, for the supervision of factory operations, ana for the instruction of both civilian and uniformed personnel in various kinds ot specialized technical work.
 The General Motors Institute at Flint, Mich, is an outstanding example of this < kind of little-known cooperative tech nical training for wartime needs. At It's recent twenty-fifth anniversary celebra- tion, the Institute was presented With the Army Ordnance Departments Dis tinguished Service Award in recognition of "the outstanding contributions made to Ordnance progress in this war, and letter. of commendation from the Navy for training given to Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard units.
 Immediately after Pear Harbor, Gen eral Motors Institute Streamlined its en- tire facilities for wartime training ana inaugurated 80 military training pro- grams Since then, in 10,0O0,O0O man. hours of instruction, more than 61,OOO o1~, received special training. Of these, near ly 5000 have been officers, instructors and executives, some of the latter of whom are being currently trained at the Institute. the remainder being provided with the instruction by management in cooperation with programs being super vised by the Institute. Many thousands of others have been and will be trained by the instructors, both uniformed and civilian, who have received their lnstruc- tion in these courses.
 From it's small beginning in 1919 as an evening school sponsored by the h. duStrial Fellowship League, under the dl- rection of Major Albert Sobey following his discharge from the Army after World War I. General Motors Institute has grown to be one of the country's leading technical training schools With its an nexation in 1926 by General Motors, the Institute now boasts physical plant valued at more than one million dollars. It stands today as a symbol of cooper ation between industry and technical education and training, and it's contrihu- ton to the War is best summed up by Brigadier General H. R. Kutz, Chief of Military Training Service, who said ot Major Sobey and the Institutes staff that .'Their attitude was always Just tell us what is wanted and we'll do it."

A Professional Enemy

The popular serial mystery, what Happened to Hitler?" is still running Nobody believes Dr. GoebbelS, whose So- lutionS are feebly resolved and fail to produce the allegedly hale and hearty corpus delicti. But nobody else has any alright explanations, either. There are so many rumors affloat that person be- gins to doubt all of them almost as much as he does the GoebbelS explanations. And so it is some comfort to come upon report on the Hitler mystery, from an American officer in Germany, which IS based not on rumor but on observation and logical conclusion This officer has been watching the enemy as well as htnt- ing him, since D Day And he has de- cided from the way the German army IS being employed that Hitler is no longer III command. He finds the dwindling enemy 1nanpower being used with skill that can only mean that the intuitive Fuehrer isn't calling signals any more. The headlong flight from France might well have de- nloralized the Germans completely, the officer points out. Yet in spite of this and in spite of our continual blasting of industry and transportation, the enemy is putting up defense that this military observer calls highly professional.
 Proof of his conclusions is evident in daily dispatches from the front. The German army is not stopping the Allies, but it is making them pay for every gain Strategic positions are being defended stubbornly and fiercely, but with an in- telligence that doesn't fit Hitler.s favor. ite word "fanatical,'' or the strategy that goes with it. If Himmler is now top dog in Germany and evidence points to that belief he seems content to let profes- sional soldiers run the war. And this, in a way, can be less encouraging than if Hitler were still in the saddle A pro iessional command can make the war

State Dept. Rings the Bell

A statement issued by the State De puatrment served due notice on Great Britain and Soviet Russia that Italy and other Allies in the liberated areas must be allowed to work out their own forms of governments, without interference. The new Secretary of State Stettinius promptly announced the decision, and told news conference that he had worked hard on the statement.
 In his first week as Secretary of State MT. Stettinius indicated softening of attitude toward Argentina by the United States. This preceded meeting of the Pan-American Union Board of Governors at which Argentina's request to discuss the ban upon that South American coun- try, under the charge that it was pro- Nazi, was the principal matter of busi- ness.
 that Nelson A. Rockefeller is to be in charge of Latin American Affairs in the new State Department organization, and it is believed that he will be able to Straighten out relations with Argentina
 To all appearances the new set-up in the State Department will depart from the traditions of yeSter-years and carry out new policies under the leadership of younger men. There is good reason to think that Secretary Stettinius will not let the Old World overlook the fact that America is the leader and not the trailer in the great struggles of the war, and the framing of a permanent peace.

Foreign spokesmen have noted with approvel the expansion of the coopera- tive movement in this country. Appar- ently they make no distinction between the taxpaying, non-subsidized type of CO., operative run on business basis, and the tax-subsidized, non-profit cooperative which is no more than parasite. One is an American institution, the other is not This country should have nothing to do with privileged organizations of any kind On the other hand, farmer owned marketing cooperatives are typical of the kind of coop that will and should expand. They operate for profit, pay their way, and ask no favors

However, it took five years to undo the error and get the ma rines out of Nicaragua {. Also it took the appointment of Ambas- sador Wwight Morrow to smooth over relations with Mexico and put things on 8 non-nose-thumb- ing basis.
 BY THIS TIME GREW WAS READY TO RESIGN. But an equally smelly mess was brewing right inside the State Depart ment-unfair promotions. It brought four resolutions in Con- gress before it was finally cleaned up For many years, U. s. diplomats had wanted a career service of their own. Finally in 1924, Congress had wanted ca reer service of their own. Finally, Il 1924, Congress gave it to them. That same year, Grew was made undersecretary of State, also made chairman of the personnel board to administer promotions under the new Rogers Act. ..,. Running the new career State Depart ment with Grew were Hugh Wl- son, heir of the Chicago shirt manufacturer; J. Butler Wright, arbiter of protocol and diploma tic dress; and Leland Harrison, scion of wealthy New York fam fly their capacities were ln- satiable. Their friends got the promotions, hard-working consuls in the field got none.
 ILLUSTRATIVE CASE WAS LUCENT MACF. HINKLE. Gene was a nice boy and socially suc- cessful. He squeezed through the career service examinations, but after one year of the usual train ing in the State Department he still didn't know what it was all about . So the personnel board of which Grew was chairman decided to attach him to the of- flee of press relations where he would have to answer half nun dred news queries a day and learn to stay on his toes At first, newsmen were patient. But when Hinkle got bound up in endless red tape. they complained to Sec retary Kellogg-to no avail. Hinkle had friend at court. He was re- lated to Undersecretary Joseph c. Grew.

It's borders and can thereafter rest in the quiet complacency that all it well. The truth of the matter is, however, that selfish individuals and interests are constantly striving to take advantage of their fellows. In order to do this, they have to make thel selves powerful in gov- ernmental positions, an to do so they strive to undermine basic lib- critics incorporated in all forms of free government. We have to op- pose such people with law machin- cry and policemen within nations; if this war has taught us anything 1t has taught us that we must have a similar enforcement agency oper- ating internationally.
