Kosanovich-May / quote
from speech made last jan
uary: "A democratic and pro-
gressive world must do every
thing to give support to the
democratic and progressive
forces in Europe, so that those
forces are not weakened and
destroyed and their place TAX
en- by the reactionary and OBJ
solete forces which would COM
promise the victims of this war
and bring about conditions
which will inevitably generate
new wars. Humanity today is
going through a revolution
which can be canalized and di-
rected only if we are courageous
and forward looking. Every at
tempt at reaction will only
create bloody chaos and an
archy. Therefore, from the very
beginning, we must bear in
mind that we cannot create a
new world with forces that
have, directly or indirectly, con.
sciouslys or unco n3sciously
helped the development of fas'
cism."

Hitler Came Up the Hard
Way, SAYS Professor

Hitler came up the hard way, de-
veloped a technique and then an
art, according to DR.. Hans Reich
enbach, formerly of the University
Of Berlin. who says the fuehrer is
not one Of the worlds great men,
but, for time. one Of the most
successful.
The early technique OF Hitler, says
DR.. Reichenbach. who is professor
OF philosophy at the Los Angeles
campus Of the University OF Califor-
MIA, consisted in having a number
OF his men dispersed through each
audience and instructed when to
shout he'll and to throw out hecklers.
Hitler learned that nothing uni
fed people SO much as a COM
mon hatred. Therefore, if one did
not exist, it had to be created"
DR.. Reichenbach paraphrased Vol
taire. If there were no Jews in
Germany, Hitler would have invent
ed them. He created an atmos-
phere. not logic. He is never
afraid to say something against log
ic, as in Mein Kampf, where he
writes that if an idea is repeated
often enough the people will believe
it.
DR.. Reichenbach attributes much
of the Nazi leaders success to an
ability to start afresh after defeat.
His riot OF 1923 failed, but during
nine months imprisonment he wrote
his book. Later, says the profess
sor, he came to rely not SO much
OH his ideas as on the way he pre-
sented them. He does not control
Germany because of a superiority Of
his ideas, but because Of superior
political organization.

Will Collect
Old Clothes
For Russians

The collection of used clothes and
shoes for the relief of Russians with
all schools of the state, both pub
lie and private, invited to partici-
pate will be conducted throughout
the state during the week Of Sept.
Is to 30, Owen D. Speer, state d.
rector of the Share Your Clothes
With Russians announced today.
Along with the schools, all local
groups such as parent-teacher or
CARNATIONS, patriotic groups, service
and women's clubs and labor organ
izations are being invited to par
tieipate, and are responding most
whole-heartedly.
These campaigns for used clothing
and shoes are conducted under the
supervision of Russian War Relief,
Inc, and have the full approval and
cooperation of the Presidents Wsr
Control Board which supervises all
national relief agencies including
the National War Fund Chest. No
cash is accepted on such drives,
Speer stated, as Russian War Re-
lief shares in the National War Fund
which is supported in Montana
through the Montana War Fund
drives.
Last year Russian War Relief
found there were 75,000000 people
in Russia desperately in need Of
clothes. This year that number will
be greatly increased due to the fact
that each town when taken from
the Germans is found to have been
stripped of everything. The clothes
which the people had are worn
threadbare. The textile factories
owned by the Russians have been
turned into munition factories. No
American textiles are shipped to
the civilian population only to the
army. Therefore, there is no place
where clothes can be had for the
Russian civilians except through
collections such as planned for the
last week Of September in Montana.
Similar collections have been made
or will be in all states.
The "Share Your Clothes With
Russians committee believes that
Montana school children with their
adult helpers will be ready to do a
wonderful job for the Russians. All
types Of clean, Wearable clothing are
needed and all citizens are urged to
be ready to make a liberal contrihu-
ton Of clothes when their local
schools make the call during the
week of Sept. $500

Housewives-Sove
Your Boxes! 5!

HELENA, Aug. ice. J. Kelley,
Executive Secretary for Montana,
General Salvage Division, WPB,
stated today that every housewife
in Montana should be directly con-
cerned with the present critical pa
per shortage and vitality interested
in cooperating with the Paper Con-
servation Program.
Many manufacturers are having
difficulty in obtaining sufficient
quantities of containers needed to
package their product. Retailers who
now have wrapping paper and pa
per bags on hand, may have great
difficulty in replenishing their sup
ply.
Rigid controls are already in ef-
feet limiting the uses of paper and
paper products. Further restrictions
governing the manufacture and use
of new paper shipping sacks were
issued by the War Production Board
on August 9Th. in order to provide
a larger supply Of paper sacks for
packaging and for shipping certain
essential products and materials.
Even greater curtailment Of pa
per products for domestic use is
indicated, unless more vigorous
acceptance of the Paper Conserva-
ton Program on the part of the
general public is forthcoming.
Every housewife, added E. j Kee-
ley, is urged to actively participate
in the paper conservation program
in order to make it possible for the
retailer and manufacturer TO con-
serve on paper products and there
fore insure continued distribution
of civilian goods. Housewives are
urged to use shopping bags and bas-
kets and to accept packages without
wrapping.
