$3.50, On0 to the highest bidder
for cash, which does not effect

royalty and the SIPS rental in
these 20 drilling contracts?
Voters approved of reducing
the number 0 f Tribal Council
members by a vote of 24O to 122,
theissue being contained in Refer
endum No. 6. and reading az fol-
lows:
Is it the desire of the Black
feet Indians to amend their con-
stitution and bylaws and charter
in such manner as to allow for
the reduction of the Blackfeet
Tribal Business Council from l3
to five members; elect each men,
Der by popular vote and place
each member under bond? this
amendment proposes to elect one
member from each of the three
outlying districts Heart Butte.
Old Agency, Seville and two
from central district, Browning.
Voters approved by vote of
233 against 2ll Referendum No.
I, which reads:
Shall the Blackfeet Tribal Bust
ness Council deduct 81 from the
per capita payment of each en-
rolled member of the Blackfeet
Tribe to be placed in a special
fund to be designated as Sick
Fund.- for the purpose of grant
ing enrolled Blackfeet members,
upon request, sufficient monies to

ure Of the railroad line from
Peiping to Honan will, I believe,
be followed by a determined ef-
fort TO gain also the railway
from Hankow to Canton.
With these lines of railway
communication in their hands,
they may destroy the Chinese
armies in south China.
THE japanese realize that
l. they must gain the hinter-
land Of the Chinese south coast.
They must do this TO prevent
an American amphibious attack
on that coast.
1t is certainly the plan Of Ad-
miral Nimitz 10 open a land en-
trance somewhere on the shore
OF the provinces of Kwangtung
and Fukien, perhaps at such
harbors as Swallow or Annoy
or Eoochow.
Probably this American at
tack cannot be made until air
bases on Luzon are regained,
and the japanese positions on
Formosa are neutraliZed by
American air attacks.
But the capture of a Chinese
port, through which the Chinese
armies can be adequately sup
piled by maritime line of sup
ply, has been boldly announced
as the objective of our Pacific
fleet.
The japanese of course know
this.
They know the Importance Of
holding that part of China with
their own armies.
The Japanese will use their
whole remaining army strength
to prevent this happening.
This is the new danger that
threatens China.
1t may make the winning of q
beachhead in China a most diff
ficult operation.
