When the vote on the extension of
Lend Lease came up in April of 1914
many of the Republicans that had
been yociferous in their attacks upon
the Presidents program jumped on
the bandwagon. By their vote in
favor of extension. they justified
President Rooseyelt's foresight.
This vote on extension of Lend
Lease in the house was 1874 in favor
of the measure and 81 against In

The sole dissenting vote was cast by
Senator William LANCER, Republican,
of North Dakota.
After three years, in which the
events abroad and the feelings of
the people at horne, had clearly in
dictated the Importance Of Lend
Lease, not merely to our Allies, but
to ourselves, the Republicans de-
cided to support the measure. Bet

remember that if it had not been

The Herald Tribune, additionally

extension debate in the senate:

Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,
We have heard lot of comment
and adverse editorials by those who
charged President Roosevelt with
packing the U. S. supreme court, but
none of the republican papers in Mon
tana told the people that the republi-
cans that preceded Roosevelt had
packed the supreme court with reac-
tionaries so Roosevelt could not get
just decision on liberal measures,
nor do these papers tell the people
that in Montana the republicans have
for years had control of the supreme
court elected democratic governor,
who would appoint to the board of
equalization men that favored the Gin
terests" and made the people pay a
great many thousands of dollars that
the interests" should have paid, and
they also elect men to the public serv-
ice commission who will decide in
favor of the business interests the
corporations, and have been control
ing the legislature of the state just for
THEIR interests, they are bankers,
railroads, all corporations, chambers
of commerce. liquor business, all lines
of trade When Christian people,
farmers, stockmen the consumers, and
wage earners vote with the republi-
cans they are voting against democ-
racy and for FASCISM. Christians
are voting to perpetuate INJUSTICE
where they should vote and work
against injustice wherever they find
it, had we stood against the pol ltax
evil years ago, we would not have had
the dreadful conditions in California
caused by the Associated Farmers of
California when they abused and mis-
used their workers. This political
machine in Montana is part of that

Eboues Final Plea Results
In. More Aid For Coionials

The first French colonial gov
ernor to break with Nazi-controlled
Vichy, Eboue was the only nom
white governor at the conference
which was called by Gen. de Gaul-
lie to discuss plans for the reor-
ganization of the French empire
in Africa after the war.
|. Eboue was also the only one
who aggressively supported the
cause of the people against the
majority who repres, nted big bust
ness interests.
While Gen. de Gaulle pointed
out at the opening session that
there will be no progress II French
colonial people cannot be made fit
to administer their own affairs,
certain reactionary delegates who
were the spokesman Of French inn
perialists with investments in PLAN
tationS and mines in Africa tried to
get the conference to agree to
allow big business to exploit the
French colonies with the use Of
cheap black labor after the war
as they had done in the past.
Eboue opposed them.
He said that the natives must
be allowed to own and cultivate
their lands, that the concessionaire
plan was against the best interest
of the natives.
When Eboue's clear argument
won Reno Pleven, commissioner of
colonies, the conference agreed to
submit plans to the Committee OF
National Liberation and later to
the Constitution assembly in Paris
when France is libel ated
Gov.-Gen. Felix Eboue won the

getting ready for their role in
the liberation of Europe. In the
black night with rain pouring and
soldiers working in mud, the big
guns roared and flames shot
across the hills.
MOVE QUICKLY
A 9,12O-pound Howitzer is
manned by section of soldiers;
cannOneers, an ammunition cor
poral, gunner corporal, and
chief of section. The crew has
every required movement cut to
a pattern. The section chief, OF
the executive officer, gives the
firing commands. which hits par

At the road of these commands

cool precision, and like a ma
chine they load and fire the
weapon.
AS in many artillery units,
Taylor Craft liaison planes are
operated by the battalion, and
before each firing problem
swings into action, the senior
chief of section in the battery
is flown over the area, acquaint-
ing him with the targets to be
shelled.
PROUD OF MARCHING
The battalion is as proud OF
their marching proficiency as
they are of their Howitzer and
Bazooka firing records. The viii
layers gather on the side walks
and even the cows collect beside
the road fences and stare in
amazement as the batteries
march up and down the road in
close order drill. The sergeant
gives the commands in song and
the soldiers reply in kind; they
are based on tunes like what
cha Know, Joe?" and boogie-

in the spotlight, when two of
their captured battalions sneaked

Jap Ships Hammered
In Marshall Raids

PEARL HARBOR, Jan. IA Pl.-
Seventh Army Air Force bombers
sank a small auxiliary vessel, prob
ably sank a medium cargo ship and
damaged large japanese destroyer
in their latest attack on Maloelap
Atoll of the Marshall Islands.
The raid was made Tuesday night,
the Navy said yesterday, and brings
to 13 the number of enemy ships
sunk or damaged in the Marshalls
IN five attacks this month.
Increasingly frequent reports OF
enemy shipping in the Marshalls
atolls indicate strong efforts to rein
force and supply the Japanese bases
there-bases which have been hit
almost daily in what Secretary O.
the Navy Knox recently termed a
"softening-up" process.
Army bombers also blasted install
lations on several islands of the
Maloelap Atoll, but extent of the
damage was unreported. Two of six
1ntercepting Japanese fighters were
believed damaged. All the attacking
planes returned.
The 7th Air Force attacked Mill
both Monday and Tuesday, but the
damage was unreported. One plane
was lost, but the crew was saved.
The Japanese countered with a
raid early Wednesday on Tarawa.
IN the Gilbert Islands. Admiral
Chester w. Nimitz reported only
minor damage and minor casualties.
Yesterdays press release was the
first mentioning the presence of jap
anese destroyers in the Marshalls.
