that these questions contain many ex-
plosive matters and unless carefully
handed might jeopardixe intimate col.
laboration Of the big three.
According to reports from London,
there Is goodly number Of British
parliamentarians, rejecting the opinion
OF their constituents, who believe that
Britain's policy has been too subservient
to that Of the United States and that
Mr.. Churchill himself has been In the
pocket Of President Roosevelt for too
long time.
The same criticism frequently has
been voiced, in reverse. in this country.
Political observers In London expect
the British Prime Minister to make .
candid statement Of relations between
the United States and Britain and it Ii
hoped that he will touch-within the
framework Of military security-on the
nature Of relations between him and the
White House
Many requests for information ad-
dressed by committees Of the Senate
or the House to the State, War or
Navy Departments contain the phrase
the public interest" In this manner
an official censorship has been I'M
posed even on the representatives of
the people of this country. The same
occurs In Britain. where in time Of
war indiscreet questions can be brushed
on with the general statement that
certain questions may be contrary to
the public interest.
Because Of this situation, a number
OF rumors have been circulated In Lon
don and Washington about which Of
the two leaders Is "in the pocket" Of
the other. These rumors inevitably
have percolated to the people, who have
become concerned over q situation
which may or may not be real, and the
British masses have instructed their
representatives In Parliament to make
the proper inquiries.
No such question can be addressed
directly to the President Of the United
States, who cannot be cross-examined
by members Of Congress. In Britain,
however, the situation Is different. Any
member Of Commons can ask Of the
Prime Minister or any other member
Of the cabinet from the floor OF the
House any question he may desire.

1t has been my experience in the serv-
ice that generals definitely do care for
the personal welfare of their men and
] have no doubt but that our admirals
are the same in this respect. Don't Won
suppose that the general and the admi-
raj already have suffered almost beyond
human endurance, through humiliation,
and, If they really feel that they are to
blame even in the smallest degree,
through excruciating remorse?
In closing, I wish to state that for
one am emphatically against any trial
OF these officers. Their extreme mental
suffering to date no doubt has atoned
In full for any lack of foresight of which
they may have been guilty Further
punishment would not bring back one
life or limb lost at Pearl Harbor.
If "the powers that be" are de-
termined that these officers must be
tried by courtsmartial, 1 for one hope
that they will be found mot guilty. of
the serious charges which may be placed
against them. In case they are tried,
and the court decides these officers are
guilty of any charge, I can only trust
that due consideration will be given to
their long and faithful service and to
the extenuating circumstances which
clearly are portrayed above.
Always remember that any one can
second guess" Even I know the win
ming horse after the race is over.

Iekes Expects Early
Return Of Coal Mines
To Private Owners
By the Associated Press,

| BY the Associated Press.
Early return to private ownership
| Of bituminous coal mines seized b.
the Government to end the United
Mine Workers strike last year, wa.
in prospect today as Fuel Admin.
istrator Ickes called a meeting of the
operators to determine which ones
proposed-to to adopt the wage contract
just approved by the War Labor
Board. r.
Mr.. Ickes said he saw no reason
why Federal control should not be
relinquished as soon as the contract
is effective. He added that if the
Southern Appalachian operators
continue to oppose the agreement,
their mines will be retained by the
Government when the others are
restored.
At the same time, Edward r.
Burke, president of the Southern
Coal Operators Association, said the
members are prepared to put the $40
retroactive pay for travel time for
miners In escrow pending court de-
terminationso of this issue, but that
all other Terms of the contract
signed by the rest of the industry
would be- observed In the meantime.
Mr.. Burke said after meeting
OF the Scuthern operators yester-
day thatsti1ey were unanimous III
'their. determination to see the court
test through to a Supreme Court
decision. He, said payment of the
$40 each for three month period
last spring would make the question
moot and no court would rule on it
As an alternative he said the opera
tors proposed depositing sum he
estimated at $6,000,0 900 with a thirc
party to guarantee payments to the
miners in the event that the court
ruled in favor of the United Mine
Workers travel-time plan.
AS to the 200 anthracite mine.
still in Government hands, Mr.
Ickes said he talked with some o.
the anthracite operators and think!
they are disposed to put the an.
thracite wage contract in effect
and that differences over price in
creases will be worked out.
He said the Office of Price Ad
ministration has made a recon
mendation regarding anthracit
prices and that the recommenda
ton, which he did not describe
is now before Economic Stabiliza
tion Director Vinson. -. -

cussed and report on the proposed

County Officers Say 1t Was
"CorDSe who Wasn't There"

This story might be titled like the
detective thrillers. The Case OF the
Missing Corpse" or where's the
Body?"
1t all started last week when Mel
viz Schakosky, Glasgow taxi driver,
returned from a trip to Daniels
county and reported that a passen-
ger he had taken from here 10 look
for farm work had collapsed and
died at the Battleson farm near
Peerless. Melvin told his boss, Bert
Nelson. that he hadn't collected the
fare and that Daniels county auth
critics had taken charge OF the
body.
Bert thought the story might be
interesting news and phOned The
Courier. A newspaper representative
interviewed the taxi driver. VINO re-
peated his story. Every body felt
sorry for MeNin.
When copies of The Courier
reached Scobey Friday. things be-
gan to happen. Burley Bowler, pub
Usher of the Daniels County Lead
er, phoned the Glasgow newspaper
and asked. where's the body?. Our
sheriff and county attorney and
coroner don't know anything about
it. If somebody died. we can't find
him" Calls in a similar tenor were
made here by Sheriff Ed Lee and
Attorney Carl Lindquist of Daniels
county.
Valley county Officers lost no
time in locating Melvin and ques-
tioning him. First. he said the story
must be a misprint. but was INFORM

LAKE EXTENDS
l55 MILES UP
FROM FT.PECK
Present High Water Mark Is
About Three Feet Above
that for Last Year.

Fort Peck lake. at the present high
water mark, extends to Ryan island,
155 miles west of the dam, it was
reported by three Glasgow Chamber
of Commerce representatives who
were passengers this week during a
regularly scheduled high water in
spection trip made by the Sacaja-
Wea, inspection boat of the corps OF
engineers.
The Chamber requested that three
officers be permitted to make the
trip to gather information that
might be useful in furthering post
war tourist travel.
The present high water mark is
about three feet higher than last
year at this time and a few below
the level of May this year.
The inspection trip vas author
lied by Lieut.. Col. H. H. Roberts,
district engineer, for technical pur-
poses. Lieut.. E. H. Kloss was in
charge of arrangements. James
Cory, superintendent; AL Canter-
bury, pilot, and Ira Tourtlotte. land
agent, all of Fort Peck, made the
trip. Chamber members aboard were
j. P. Sternhagen and Paul
and Secretary Josef
Shower. Howard Taylor and Frank
Mcmillan met the boat at the
mouth of the Musselshell with a
gas supply.
Although it was my second trip
on the lake, 1 found the experience
more enjoyable than the first
Secretary Shower reported. The
scenery is of the type that n does
not become tired of. The diversity OF
eroded forms presents varying as
poets at different times of day. This
year, because of profuse rains, there
is a great variety of color"
The trip certainly would be an
ideal tourist attraction"
The party spent the night moored
near the mouth of the Musselshell,
because of the hazards from drifting
timber in night cruising. The return
trip of about 129 miles was made
from this point.
Chamber officials expressed their
appreciation for the cooperation
given by the engineers in permitting
them to accompany the group on
the inspection trip.

North Country Hospitality

story of a crop tour which some 80
Glasgow men made Thursday. There
were two factors that made the trip

the cordial greetings and treatment
received everywhere.
The tour was made in Leonard
Butts bus under the sponsorship oil

were no untoward incidents, unless
we mention the muddy roads that
made us curtail a portion OF the
trip-but no Montanan ever COM

is true, and wheat planted by stub

most farmers agreed that yields will
be almost as good as the bumper
season of 1913. Again there r X
