In New Mexico

United States Senate committee of which Senators Ernest w, Mcfarland, Arizona, and Carl A. Hatch and Dennis Chavez Of New Mexico are members, held public hearings in Albuquerque this week,
 Reclamation's postwar plans for l7 western states, including New Mexico, are more than blueprint of possibilities, Thirty-nine of the 2S6 projects in the Governments postwar inventory have been authorized for construction, and, limited work on many Is going forward under war food or war power programs. Tucuncari, in New Mexico, is an excel lent example of such project, which, on completion, will contribute Vitally to our Nations needs, Construction of this project was temporarily stopped by the War Production Board because of short age of materials and manpoWer, Work was resumed in the summer of 1944. Plans have been made to irrigate about 24,000 acres by l946. Ultimately, the project will serve 45,000 acres,
 The Bureau of Reclamation In Wash ington estimates that the area presently irrigated In New MeXico-$540,000 acres could almost be doubled If all the water were utilized, Power development would also aid in recovery of the States min eral resources, the operation of process. ing plants, rural identification, and many other commercial needs,

Charting the Peace

The Dumbarton Oaks Conference has been long drawn out affair and 1t has carried on It's discussion behind closed lgates and the proceedings have not been made known to the public.
 However, one thing Is perfectly clear and that Is there Is no straight highway that leads to peace policy haven. Ger tain points have been tentatively agreed upon, but in actualty they are just as uncertain to win final approval as the Fourteen Points that were offered by Woodrow Wilson In 1918. The whole ! American public threw their hats in the :, air for Wilson and hollered for joy Tn support of the Presidents declaration, but the end brought only failure and col lapse.
 We are not on safe ground tday. The i Atlantic Charter, the declaration of the United Nations; and all the international conferences from Dumbarton Oaks in Washington to Cairo, Terhan, Casablanca, Quebec and other friendly stops haven't settled anything definitely. It is per fectly clear that Great Britain and Soviet Russia do not subscribe to the basic prin- ciples of the American form of Govern ment. Meanwhile the war against com- raunism in the United States continues to De whipped up, and whooped up daily. At the some time Britain occupies more colonial territory under It's Empire than any other nation. Consequently, we are farther apart on international politics than Dewey and Roosevelt are on issues of the present campaign in the United States. Permanent peace isn't an easy matter that can be established by the Big Three. plus China and France, with the small nations added Evidently these great nations all want to make lasting peace. That's the one big objective-and let's hope that everything comes through ell right.

The Connecticut Reemploy- ment Commission is therefore dls- playing exe0Ilen [ foresight in de- veloping Q training program that might be said to be the reverse of the original Connecticut Plan: training machine operators to be- come salesmen, or teaching them skills for occupations identified with Q peacetime economy
 The State Department of Edu- cation has already organized Q class in retail training in Hartford for those engaged In store work or in any other form of selling or sales promotion. It Is to be hoped that similar courses may be made widely available, not only to those already engaged in this work, but also for war workers who are look ing to future when the field of machine operation has contracted and other fields have expanded.
 The Federal Government has shown no disposition to offer train- ing courses to displaced war work CTS. Here again Connecticut has an opportunity to demonstrate its own ability to anticipate community needs and to devise intelligent

ENOUGH BERTHs FOR ALL
(chrlstIan scIenoa MonLtorl

Christian Science Monltor)
 That the ODT should report only l64 evictions of passengers from trains due to handling casualties from overseas is encouraging in oil respects. Tho railroads, and, inc deed, many of the public who travel extensively, had been prepared for much wider use of the Army's au- thority to requistion Pullman space of any type at any time, even thgough 1t meant evicting paSsen- gers.
 Tn the cases reported, the ODT did not indicate whether there were i64 individuals or i64 cases in which more than one passengers might have been involved. But the railroads themselves state that al- most without exception those who have had their space thus pre- empted have been taken care of in other Pullman accommodations.
 While no decent American would object to giving up his berth to Q wounded soldier, 1t is good to know that the railroads have been able to meet both Army and public de- maild.

who worked for Messer Portinari and who served at the feast where Dante for the first time saw his beloved Beatrice. But Monna Tessa is a sgenuinely immortalized in the hearts of the people of Florence as is Beatrice.
 Monna Tessa, the servant, was ac- customed to go out and care for the poor in the novels of Florence. Since her master had huge palace and room to spare, she asked for a little space; and here she took care of sick paupers, supporting them out of her wages and caring for them in her spare moments. Messer Portinari was 50 touched by her work that he built small hospital and put her in charge, and to this humble begin- ming the poor of Florence have for centuries owed the care they have received in thier illness.
 A great bas-belief of a kindly faced woman in servants hood hangs today on the walls of the great hospital in y1orence which grew out of Monna TeSsa's conse- crated service--a monument to one who, like her Master, went about doing good.

 Long before the United States entered the war, Connecticut, in the Vanguard of the states, de- veloped a program of job-training in machine operation. Because of this foresight war production in this State was greatly accelerated by the influx of thousands of well- trained machine operators Into It's factories, The so-called Connecti- cut PIAn was later adopted by the Federal Government on Q nation. wide basis.

Citizen Group
Opposes PAC

HELENA, Oct 24-Organizatior
on a statewide basis has been per-
fected by the Montana Citizens
Council, originally formed early this
month for the purpose of combat
ting the attempt of the Sidney Hill
man Political Action Committee
through Endorsement of candidates
for congressional and state offices
to get control of government in
Montana.
Strictly partisan in character
the Council has as its chairman
Hon. w. P. Sullivan of Square Butte,
veteran Montana rancher and for
several decades a leader in state
Democratic circles, and both parties
are represented in the list of IL
district chairngn and so county
chairmen Whotas a matter of 10y
atty to Mont3na are active in the
battle to prevent Hillman and his
Communist Associate, Earl BroWder,
from throtuing representative gov
eminent inSthis state.
THAT Montanans realize what the
threat is to agriculture, business
dilO 1dUol I'LL ldSt, W CVCiJ IltlLCIi
is Indicated" Mr.. Sullivan says,
..by the fact that their services in
this fight have been volunteered by
men who are outstanding figures in
their own communicated
farmers, business and professional
men-and that they have the sup
port of all other citizens, notably
those in the ranks of labor, who do
not relish being told how they shall
vote, least of all by wouldbe die
tators who do not live in Montana,
have no stake in Montana and are
simply trying to take the state over
for their own selfish and sinister
purposes.
Nothing better illustrates the
widespread resentment among the
right thinking men and women of
the state against this bold and bra
zen bid for power, with Jerry O'Con-
nell doing the organizing, than the
fact that every cent of the money
used in our campaign-chicken feed
compared with the amount report
eddy appropriated for P. A. C. work
in the state-has been voluntarily
contributed in amounts from dol
lar up by individual citizens
Reports to state headquarters here
indicate that the voters in all parts
Of the state are waking up to the
fact that this campaign is not a
battle Of parties or personalities,
but crucial struggle involving
fundamental principles of govern
ment, and as election day approach
es il becomes daily more certain
that Montana will reject govern
ment by remote control with Hill
nan and Browder at the controls.
