II was noted that at this period
the British prime minister ripped
the veil from the behind-the-
scenes struggle for continental
diplomatic spheres and recorded
open opposition against the spread
of communism and Soviet influ-
ence throughout Europe.
Despite the diplomatic welcome
publicly extended by British
Foreign Secretary Eden TO the
Freneh-Soviet treaty, IL is gener-
ally regarded as turning France
toward Moscow and away from
London.

munists in France were expected

JAPAN HASTENS TO BUILD
WOODEN SHIPS

The haste with which Japan is try
ing to build wooden ships to make up
for a shortage of merchant vessels
was indicated in a recent speech over
the Tokyo domestic radio by Ryataro
Nagai, an official of the Wood Ships
Construction Bureau" who disclosed
that many ship workers-in order to
save time-are now staying at the
factories instead of going home after
each days work"
Nagai also revealed that the Japa-
nese government had established a
new system of responsibility" to spur
wooden ship production, setting up a
number of sectional governors" each
with specific quota to fill and each
responsible" for the output Of the
men working under him. This sys-
tenn, Nagai said, hasn't been used in
Japanese shipbuilding since Japan's
invasion of Korae, WIN it was also
necessary to build record number
of ships in record time.
The purpose Of Japan's wooden ship
program, according to Nagai, is to
build enough of these vessels to han
die all transportation in home waters,
thus releasing sturdier vessels of larg-
err tonnage for "front-line service"
Nagai said the wooden boats were be-
ing built in three sizes: 100 tons, $50
tons, and $50 tons.

THE WAGNER-MU -DINGELL BILL,
What DOES 1T mean
TO The PHYSICIANS OF AMERICA?

/ warrants. 1t encourages the general
practitioner to delay referring the pa.
tent for required specialist services
because the general practitioner stands
to gain economically by retaining the
patient longer 1t also puts grasping
physicians in unfair competition with
their more ethical colleagues, and as
the amount of money available to the
doctors in any community is limited
to fairly fixed sum, it has the bad
effect of reducing the value of each
unit of service rendered by the phys
icians. Such method of payment in
other countries has always involved a
policing system and administrative
bodies to spot these unethical prac-
tees. A policing system adds to over
head expenses and leaves less money
for the physicians. 1t requires the
physician to keep detailed records of
visits and to put in. accurate bills
which have to be audited by central
agencies, all of which adds to the
overhead cost. Thus, fee-for-service
creates unnecessary problems for
physicians and at the same time jeop-
ardizes standards of medical care. The
Physicians Forum strongly disap-
proves of the fee-for-service principle.

for 10 minute talk on the
way to his scheduled meeting
in the Minneapolis Armory.
II will make two very simple state
ments," the vice president said. First
there should be another pressure
group in this country There have
been many such groups whose effect
has not been good. The pressure
group am talking about is a pressure
group for the general welfare. Where
else shall we expect to find it than
among those who represent all relig-
ions, all classes, all types of society,
the consumers?
Second, we must maintain full en-
ployment and maximum production.
Instead of restricting production and
profit for one particular group, the
one guiding consideration should be
to get the maximum profit for the en-
tire United States"
Wallace observed that various types
of monopoly practices have been pre-
venting achievement of such goal
you people here" he said, know
more about those monopoly practices
than people generally"
Pointing out that America has
everything it needs to make an eco
nomic system work, he concluded
1--WE must have a united effort by
government, by business, and by CO.
operatives, each occupying the field
in which it is most efficient to use
all our resources, all our ingenuity
and all our courage for the common
good. 1t will be easy to have a much
higher standard of living than ever
before if we will pull together. I am
sure this group will do it's part"
The Midland conferees were told by
A. j. Smaby, general manager, that
their wholesale in 1943 had it's year
of greatest progress" He joined with
q. R. Bowen, general secretary of The
Cooperative League of the USA, in
urging the managers to get their fl
nancial houses in order before "the
toboggan slide"
Other speakers included Harland
Allen, Chicago business adviser and a
director of the Filene-created Good
Will Fund, Inc, and Gilman Calkins,
centennial secretary of the League.

The establishment of the country
was great at the split with the Presi
dent of these leaders of the party
machine of the administration.
| Often successful politicians inten
tionally deceive the people about why
they act in certain way. Often they
themselves do not understand why
they act in a particular way.
The real battle between the Presi
dent, wishing to make the rich pay for
this war, and the congress, anxious
to make the poor pay for, as also
fight, this war has been on ever since
Mr.. Roosevelt declared that for the
duration, no one in this country
should be allowed an annual income
exceeding $25,000.00. (He gave back
all his own income last year in excess
of that figure.)
The mutineers also suspect the
President of what is in their minds a
still greater crime. They fear he in
tends to heed the last prophecy of
Woodrow Wilson, that Capitalism is
the prime danger to this republic,
and also to the peace of the world.
They realize he may actually Ego out
of bounds" If given the power, he
may modify the present capitalistic
control of this country so that our
chemical and other industrialists can
not, after peace comes, rebuild other
ornaments, as English and New York
bankers did for Germany and Italy
"in the thirties".
Mr.. Roosevelt may want finally to
impress the SURPRISES of our IRISH to
pay all these bonds poor folks are
skimping to buy, and thus prevent
the diversion, of what the owners ex-
plot from the workers after the war,
to building up new Fascist nation.

struction for navigation pur-
poses of a channel in the lower
states, which the people of the
state felt would deprive them
of needed water; that the re-
port attempted to place irriga-
ton and reclamation at a dis
advantage or in an inferior
position.
In his testimony before the commit
tee, Congressman O'Connor stated, in
part, as follows:
Remember the Pick report is be-
fore the committee on flood control
of the house on which no official ac-
ton has been taken except holding
hearings. The only threat to the use
of the waters of the upper Missouri
river and its tributaries in such states
as Montana is contained in a bill re-
ported out by the committee on rivers
and harbors of the house, Chairman
Judge Mansfield, of Texas, which pro-

channel from 200 to 300 feet. This
proposal is independent of the Pick
report entirely. This threat, however,
l am quite sure, will be removed by
either the committee on rivers and
harbors, or by the house or the senate
by adopting proposal made by the
President in substance as follows:

Civilization is on the march, wheth
er it be in Greece, Germany, France
England, or the United States, and
there are one of several roads that
| it can take. We can guide 1t to the
road of democracy if we think. We
did not choose to march, but march
we must. Today is the time to think,
not tomorrow" declared Mrs. Mildred
K. Stoltz, educational director of Mon
tana's Farmers Union, before a con
vocation assemblage Friday morning,
February 25 on the Montana State
University campus.
The speaker, who has been in
charge of the educational program of
the Farmers Union in the state for
13 years, related the existing agricul-
turl conditions that she saw in the
southern states while on tour last
year.
Rural people of Moatana. as well
as those of other states, feel as
though they are group apart" she
stated. eve must erase that feeling
of difference between people on the
farms and those in cities. Many have
not had an opportunity in the society
of ours to develop their talents.
State schools have been started in
many of the southern states for peo-
pie who have not had the chance to
attend other schools. In these schools
they learn the basic things they
should know in order to be citizens
of America"
Mrs. Stoltz described the sharecrop-
per problem of the south where Amer
leans are living virtually in state
of peonage in some areas because
they can neither read nor write.

"The approaching elections were

ON THE MARGIN
By BOB

I said in this column last week
that | would tell the gossip going the
rounds in Republican circles, and nov
I find myself with little to tell. Car
it be that the Republicans in the state
are coy? Or aren't there any Repub
licans who are interested in running
for office? My agents, all expert key
hole gogglers and eavesdroppers, re
port that there just isn't any GOSSIP
about Republican office seekers.
The only thing which l received il
the reports was that there was pos
sibility that Fred Padbury might make
the race for Secretary of State again
this year, and that Claude McAllister
for several sessions, secretary of the
Montana senate, was flirting with the
idea of also trying for that job. No
report of Sam Mitchell being unduly
disturbed by the possible opposition
of either of them has been received.
Present Lieutenant Governor Eaton,
is said to be going to try for re-
election. One of my agents had heard
what he termed a wild" rumor that
Eaton had found that the governors
chair fitted the angles of his frame
pretty well, and might try for the
chance to occupy it for term. But
no confirmation of this has been re-
ceived to date. Listening posts have
also caught an occasional message
that Rankin might come out in the
governors race, but the political sages
discount that possibility. But the
rumor having been circulated this col
umn owes it publicity, particularly
since Republican rumors are so
scarce.
Returning to the Democratic side
again: 1t seems that Justice Erick-
sons announcement that he is in the
race for the governorship has caused
quite stir in the "old-line that is to
say, perhaps, the so-called company"
circles of the party, and they are re-
ported scrambling madly around try
ing to find some one or several to
file in the primaries in order to defeat
him. They are said to be toying with
the idea of either Lamey, Middleton
or Burke Clements or maybe having
all three enter the race.
The speech that Clements made be-
fore the United Mine Workers in Bill
ings last week was gem which
seems to lend some credence to the
rumor that he is trying to develop
opposition to Erickson. He made an
appeal from an entirely new angle
when he said:
Beware of the candidates who APP
peal for your votes to elect them to
high state offices because their rec
ord indicates that they have favored,
in their past public relations, men
and women of the laboring class over
persons of other classes"
The report from my agent there is
that the Mine Workers think that
maybe they'd still prefer man who
would favor them little once in a
while rather than giving the mining
all the breaks.
Mayor Shields of Great Falls, it is
said, has strong notion to come
tut and make the race for railroad
ind public service commissioner, and
he underground seems to think he
night make quite little opposition |
or Middleton if he (Middleton) de-
,ides to run for reelection to that |

WAGE ADJUSTMENTS
MUST BE APPROVED

All operators of retail lumber firms
in the Rocky Mountain region must
have approval of the Regional War
Labor Board before any wage adjust
ments can be put into effect, Charles
A. Graham, board chairman, an
nounced today.
Heretofore such operators could
make adjustments without board APP
prevail If they employed eight or fewer
persons. The national board, how
ever, removed this exemption from
the retail lumber firms in the region
because wage increases granted by
the smaller firms were taking man
power from larger retail lumber firms
and upsetting the wage sterilization
program.

named Thailand in 1889 by the Song
gram cabinet.)
Prince Nakhorn Sawan was an uncle
Of the late King Prajadhipok, the eye
ailing monarch who visited the United
States in 1881, and served as Prajad-
hipok's minister of national defense
until 1882, when Songgram-then a
colonel-and other army leaders car
ried out coup d'etat based on the
demand for constitutional reforms.
Songgram took over the position of
Minister of Defense in the new gov
eminent, assuming the premiership in
1888 after he had already started
steering Siam into the Japanese orbit.
Prajadhipok, regarded as pro-British,
abdicated his throne in 1885 in favor
of his nine-year-old nephew, Amanda
Mahidol. TIL abdicated king died in
1941; Amanda Mahidol is now living
in Switzerland
After the 1882 "bloodless revolu-
tion," Prince Nakhorn Sawan went to
live in Java and pledged never to re-
turn to Siam. He was known to be
living in Java when the war broke
out, but. the Bangkok broadcast an
nouncing his death did not reveal
where he died.
