the Belgian relief commission In the
last war. Their ability to remain in
occupied Belgian territory depended
on demonstrating to the complete
satisfaction OF the German military
commanders that they were neutral
and their conscious effort TO act ut
terly disinterested, brought about
a really neutral viewpoint.
OF course, this strictly non-parti-
san attitude Is not, nor is 1t expected
to be, adopted by the representa-.
tives of the member nations. and the
controversy which arose at the re-
cent session concerning UNRRA's
activity in former enemy territory
was due to the play Of emotions
which takes place when hate has
been nurtured for long time, as the
Axis nurtured it. According to the
uNRRA rules. no relief can be adj
ministered in former enemy coun-
try unless majority Of the council
SO votes and II the enemy country
pays for such services and supplies
as 1t receives.
1t was natural that some of the
nations which suffered as they did
under the Nazi or Fascist heel,
would be preiudiced.

UNRRA Ready to
Move Into Balkans


So much for the solidity OF
UNRRA. 1t has only begun to func-
ton, Of course, and its latest meet
ing was the first when attention
could be given to matters other
than fundamental policies. 1t is now
in operation and the number of tech.
nieians attending was greatly In
creased.
Meanwhile, however, UNRRA men
are ready in Cairo, the moment the
military is able to give the word. to
move into Greece and Yugoslavia
and first, assist the army relief
work and then, when the army is
ready to turn these functions over,
take charge.
Repatriation is a very important
part of any European relief since
millions Of people have been evacu-
ated or driven or have fed from
their own homeland and are scat
tered about the world. UNRRA has
taken over the work of the Middle
East Refugee relief and has charge
OF the placement and maintenance Of
so. 900 Greeks and Yugoslavs in Pal
estine and Egypt.
1t has new camp located in Al
geria where the climate represents
less OF a change than the desert
from the homeland OF the refugees.
The poor people suffer enough in
morale. they are either women. chill
dren or disabled men, not the ideal
grouping for a cheerful society and
life on desert is not popular with
many people even when they have
congenial company.
UNRRA's accomplishments so far,
the excellent press II has had and
the enthusiasm with which II has
been received-even the few un-
pleasant stories circulated about II
all indicate that 1t is going con-
Germ even though it is only intended
to be temporary one.
We might 60 down the list OF other
conferences, past or pending, and re-
port good deal OF progress on most
of them: the Breton Woods None
tary conference, the one on food and
agriculture. both resulted In the Gre
alton Of permanent organizations. A
meeting Of the ministers Of educa-
ton of the United Nations held last
April in London, am told, will
undoubtedly contribute to the pro-
motion of wider educational opportu-
mites Of education.
A general economic conference,
recently called by Secretary Hull,
and one on aviation are yet to be
proved.
It is only when you get into realm
OF the military or the political that
you begin to run into snags. 1t
might be argued that the reason
for this is that military and politi.

Park County Commissioners To Have An
Extra Hazardous Crossing Constructed
AT Request of Railway Officials

never done anything TO make the
crossing safe. The reason that the
railroad desires the crossing moved is
because the railroad yards have been
extended past the crossing and ii
would be necessary for the railroad
to hire crossing watchmen and install
safety devices at the crossing.
The case was tried in the district
court of Livingston. The defendant,
Frank Miller disqualified Judge Berg
of Livingston on the grounds that he
believed he could not get fair trial.
Judge Berg called in Judge McHugh
of Anaconda to sit in judgment. Dur
ing the trial, petition to the county
commissioners was exhibited as evil
dence, signed by three hundred citi-
zens of Park county protesting against
the moving of the crossing on the
be more dangerous than the present
one, admitting that it was very dan
gerous and asking the commissioners
to have an overhead pass constructed
over the present crossing to eliminate
the hazard of the crossing and that
said overhead pass would not incon-
venience the railway in any way. This
petition was ignored by the county
commissioners and it was obvious
that the judge gave it little considera-
ton. The county attorney and the
attorney for the railroad petitioners
presented very little evidence to sup
port the petition for the removal OF
the crossing. The railroad had two
witnesses there who testified in favor
of moving the crossing. None of the
nine business or professional men
who signed the petition to have the
crossing moved to accommodate the
railway company were in court 10

1888. At the time of his accession to
power, he was actually looked upon
by some Hungarians as a kind OF
liberalizing force.
During his regime, the leader of the
Arrow Cross party, Maj. Szalasi, went
to jail for two years on charges of
treason" Moreover, Imredy intro
duced social program that he him
self labeled a miraculous revolution"
However, the program, which called
for capital levy and land reform,
was never carried out.
AS banker, Imredy Is said to have
admired the talents of the German
banker, Hjalmer Schacht. After TAX
ing office, too, he made visit to Ger
many and was said to have been enor-
mously impressed with nazi totalita-
rianism. When he returned from Ger
many, Imredy indicated a change in
attitude by sponsoring new set of
Hungarian anti-Jewish laws.
These laws turned out to be his
parliamentary Waterloo. While the
laws were under debate in parliament,
it was brought out that one of I'M
redy's forebears was Jewish. The en-
suing furore brought vote of nom
confidence in his government, and he
was forced to resign.

| The Territorial legislature of Mon
tana, in the year 1887, enacted Law
entitled Eminent Domain and the
state legislature in the year 1879!
|amended the law to provide that while
appeals could be taken to the supreme
court from decisions of the distric
court, the appeal does not stay the de
cision of the judge. If the supreme
court decides the district judge erred
the injured party may get some dam
ages.
All indications are that the railroads
! in Montana were responsible for the
law being amended by the legislature
in fact the history of the Montana
legislature of 1895 shows that railroad
| interests were well looked after and
many special privileges were con
ferred by the legislators that year to
the railway corporations.
An example of the law in operation
was shown in the district court at
Livingston, on January 31st, when the
Judge gave a decision for the benefit
of the Northern Pacific Railway in
moving a grade crossing. The case
came before the court in an action
started by the commissioners of Park
County to get a right-of-way for a
road across land owned by Frank
Miller, a citizen of Livingston, which
was necessary, in order that the
Northern Pacific Railway might be
privileged to close crossing between
the north and south side of Livings-
ton
The railroad had applied to the
county commissioners for change in
the crossing, but evidently they had
no desire to appear in court, so nine
Livingston business and professional
men appeared together with the local
manager of the Mountain States Tele-
phone company, petitioned the COM
missioners to change the crossing.
The names of the petitioners are as
follows:
S. E. Posterick, Edward Parriott,
N. C. Stevens, ]. w. Mower, P. j.
Greene, v. F. Grigsley, Harry c..
Faqua, ]. H Hasty, George B. Wright.
The reason given by the petitioners
for desiring the crossing moved, was
that it was dangerous to the travel
ing public who had occasion to cross
the railroad at that place. However,
the place to where the petitioners de-
sired the crossing moved, is more
hazardous spot than where the cross
ing now is. The facts are, that a
number of people have been killed
and injured at that present crossing
and the Northern Pacific Railway has

Professor Macdonald stated that

SOLDIER VOTE WILL
likely Land IN COURT

Whether or ont the provisions of
the so-called Montana soldier vote law
lis workable at all, will probably be
determined by the Montana supreme
court.
An action for declaratory judg-
ment will likely be filed the coming
week, either by the state chairmen of
the Democratic and Republican par
ties or by someone else if those geh-
tlemen will not act together in the
matter.
Attorneys state that if an attempt
to carry out the provisions of the
law is made, Montana will have no
voice in the presidential election; this
being only one of several questionable
features of the new law.
