showing an applicant over the

in her promises of privileges; af-

looked as though the two were
about to come to some agreement

What Other Editors Have
To Say
A Soft Peace
Dawson County Review

We hear good deal about peace.
overtures and many opinions about
the sort Of peace that should be
imposed on Germany.
There is much talk about treat
ing Germany gently and allowing
her place in the sun after the
war is over.
Our opinion is that Germany is
not entitled to much consideration.
Five times in less than 80 years she
nlunged the world into war to sat-
isfy her ambitions and desire to
rule.
Her first two wars were local in
character but highly successful as
also was her war against France
in 1870 All of these conflicts con-
WINGED the Germans that war paid
big dividends SO she tried it again
in 1914 but with much poorer re-
suits for Germany.
However the Germans readily
convinced themselves that they real
ly were not beaten in 1918 in the
field but that combination of bad
luck compelled them to quit.
Ever since 1920 we have lis
tened to a barrage Of propaganda
telling how cruel and unfair was
the Versailles peace treaty OF 1919
which closed the First World War.
The Germans managed to convince
the world that they were the worst
abused people in history and that
the Versailles treaty was the worst
peace treaty ever composed
Even here in the United States
almost every writer and speaker
refers to the injustices and inequity
Of the Versailles treaty. We do not
believe word OF this.
The only trouble with the Yer
sailles treaty was that it was not
enforced. Germany set out to con-
vince the world that she couldn't
pay the Preparations fixed in the
peace treaty. In 1923 her leaders
deliberately debauched the money
system of Germany and ruthlessly
ruined millions of German citizens
to help along the illusions that
Germany couldn't pay She even
succeeded in getting England and
the United States to loan her vast
sums Of money on the plea that
otherwise her internal economy
would collapse completely.
However let us well note that
Germany proceeded to use these
loans to begin rearmament and
within few years she was spend
ing on new war preparations five
times as much money as she had
been asked to pay in reparations!
No, Germany deserves no SYM
pathy whatever at our hands. Every
Germany city that is bombed out OF
existence like Berlin and Hamburg
have been will help to convince
the German people that war does
NOT pay.
Hitler and other German leaders
guilty of atrocities should and will
be brought to justice and executed.
And after Germany has been
forced to surrender she must be
forced to pay for all of the destruc-
ton, ruin and devastation she has
caused. She will doubtless claim
that she is being enslaved but every
consideration of justice demands
that she shoulda pay. And Britain,
Russia and the United States will
have to see to it that for the COM
ing generation Germany is kept at
work to pay for her sins and that
she does not rearm.
II we do not do this, we can plan
on sending all of our boys to fight
Germany again within Is or 80

Seobees From
Southwest Pacific
Write Poem

Below we print another poem
from a soldier boy that shows he is
homesick for the old sights and
scenes around Libby. This soldier
writes, "A few weeks ago my wife
sent me some clippings from the
Western News Of poems that had
been sent in from overseas. All the
fellows and myself enjoyed them
very much. In fact, a friend of
mine and myself enjoyed them SO
much we tried our luck at it. only
lived there a few short months, but
in those months found out what a
fine little town Libby is" The
writer is NJ M. SIC Ray S. Farris
WHO is with the Seabees somewhere
in the Pacific The poem he and his
friend wrote follows.
MEMORIES
The stars shine down on Island x
But not as bright-no, not to me,
As they looked in old Montana
In my home across the sea.
/ think about the river
That long to see once more
And to lie upon the sandy banks
That stretch along its shore.
l long to see the old green knobs,
And drive up through the hills
That overlook the old home town,
With all its shops and mills
I'd SO love to see old Pipe creek
And park along its shore,
And watch the water splitting
Across the rocks once more.
I'd like to see the Court House
And the old Bank Building, too,
And stroll along on Main St.
And speak to friends kpeW.
I'd like to see all the other streets
And the little theatre too,
And read the Libby paper,
Like | used to always do.
I'd like to get behind the wheel
OF the car left at home,
And drive it all around the town
On the streets used to roam.
I'd like to see that gang of mine,
And have drink or two,
And do a million little things
The way | used to do.
I'd like to walk in Hugh's Cafe
And see my buddies there,
Or 60 in Butch's barbershop
And have him cut my hair.
I'd like to see the High School
And even the County JAIL
Or the old post office building
Where they handle all the mail.
I'd like to see Bill Blew
Where I used to work each day,
Till Uncle Sam got hold of me,
And sent me far away.
/ long for the time that soon will be
When conquered lie our foes,
And / can put my rifle down
And wear civilian clothes.
Oh happy day, when | board that
boat
And ride the ocean foam,
For(the one and only spot ;
My old Montana home.

Must File
Income Tax
Return


reached the office of the Collector
OF Internal Revenue, Helena, Mont,
some taxpayers believe that since
withholding has been made from
their wages for 1943 and payments
madee on estimated returns filed in
September or December, they do
not have to prepare and file COM
pleted income tax return for the
year 1943 at this time.
The Collector wishes to correct
any such erroneous assumption, and
goes on to say that regardless of
whether taxpayer has overpaid or
underpaid his tax as result of the
withholding provisions or by pay
ments made on an estimated re-
turn for 1913, he is still required to
make a completed return on Form
l040 or 1040A, Whichever is apple
able, and file such return on or be-
fore March Is, 1894.
In view Of the low exemptions
applying very large percentage OF
the people in Montana are subject
to federal income tax returns, said
the Collector. Those who are re-
CURED to file may be briefly listed
as follows:
|. Every single person receiving
a gross income for the year l943 of
$500 or more, or who had paid or
should have paid a tax for 1912
2. Every married person living
with husband or wife during the en-
tire year 1943 must file return if
either his or her gross income was
more than 1924, or if their combined
gross income was $1,000 or more, or
if they paid or should have paid a
tax for the year 1912.
1t will be noted that the years
1912 and 1943 are related in de-
termining who should file return
for theS~year 1943 in view of the
provisions Of the new act Even
though the conditions do not pre-
vail as mentioned above, but with
holdings for income tax have been
made from the wages of an individ-
ual by his employer, he is required
to file return at this time.
The Collector further advises that

Draftees' Health Shows Need For
 US. Legislation
Wagner Murray Dingell Bill Made Imperative
 By New Facts

Those relaxing Congressmen who want to postpone reopening of Congress until after Labor Day might well read report of ''the grave condition of the country's health," as revealed by Selective Service officials last week.
 Labor and the American people have been demanding passage of the Wagner-Murray-DingeII bill which would provide health security for the American people.
 Need for passage of this bill to- gether with such other vitally-neces- sary legislation as the Kilgore bill to provide for orderly reconversion is being ignored at the present time by Congress.
 But facts revealed by the Selective Service officials before the Senate Subcommittee on Wartime Health and Education merely serve to add addi- t1onal emphasis to the general demand that Congress end its recess at once and return to work.
 Evidence revealed that as many as one-third of the young men ex- amined for service proved to have mental or physical defects.
 Furthermore, it was shown that while much progress has been made III the Services and in industry. medi- cal experts are agreed that there is urgent necessity for concerted effort to use the information and experience ot Selective Service examiners to pre- pare national program of health for the present and future.
 After a discussion of the poor health of potential inductees. Col onel Leonard Rowntree, medical director of Selective Service, stated:
 Some people say our youth itself Is to blame for its conduct. and if may be in some measure, but I per- sonally consider that they are the victims of having been allowed to grow up as they have done." The witness spoke principally of the ravages of mental diseases, venereaI diseases and tuberculosis and the prevalence of hernia and dental defects.
 The Wagner-Murray-Dinge1l bill IS considered major step in the di- rectlon of lifting the entire health level of the merican people.
 The bill is logical extension of social security in America SO that working people will not be penal Ized by loss of wages for being sick.

BusinessLeaders Are Not Opposed ToJoiintP Planning
Poll Taken By Fortune" Reveals Desire For Mutual
 Cooperation

Topfight U. s. business execu- tives strongly favor joint economic planning by farm, labor and in- dustry leaders to provide full em- plOyment after the war, a Fortune magazine poll disclosed this week.
 But the voice of business registered fainter tones of approval at the pros pect of dealing with present leaders of labor and farm groups, according to the poll. Opinion was canvassed by postcard ballot among a permanent panel of the nations most important executives. The proposal put to the businessmen was that:
 Headers of organizations repre- senting business-such as the Natl. Assn. of Manufacturers, Committee for Economic Development, Chamber of Commerce-and those represent ing labor-such as CIO, AFL, rail road brotherhoods- and those rep reSent1ng farmers such as the Farm Bureau, the Grange, the Farmers Un- 1on-inake an earnest effort, through intelligent and cooperative give and take, to agree upon an overall pro- gram for both government and private action to bring about as full employ ment as is possible after the war"
 Along with the ballot was sent a letter advising panel members against lip service 10 the idea of cooperation and warning that there might be dangers in the coopera- tion proposed. Despite the caution ing note from Fortune, 64.8% of the business men said they would be delinquent in their duty if they did not seek some program ac- ceptable to farm and labor groups, while 22.4% held for isolated action by industry.
 The only sour note in the other wise clearcut demand for cooperative postwar planning was agreement by 56.5% with this statement: "A joint program would be a good idea if business representatives could deal with the right people in the labor movement and among farmers; but with the leaders now in those groups a sound program is not likely to be reached"
 The poll included no direct ques- ton as to business stand on the ex- tent of government participation needed in any plan to provide jobs for all. Organized labor favOrs an important part for government in any such program.

War Housing To Be Sold To Make Civilian Homes
Temporary Homes" To Be Torn Down To Prevent
 More Sums

Permanent housing built for war workers will be put on the market alter the war as part of the govern ment,s surplus disposal program, owl reports. Such structures, which cost less than $1,0OO,000,OOO, will be sold "at a fair market price" under the provisions of the Lanham act.
 The Lanahan act stipulates that temporary homes for war workers must be torn down within two years after the war, to prevent growth of future slums and bIighted areas. About half the present war housing is temporary.
 Community facilities, like schools, hospitals, sewers, health centers and fire stations, must also be sold within six months after the end of the emergency" reported OWI. To April 30, Federal Works Agency had expended $177000,OOO in Lan- ham Act funds on such projects. Every week, some city in the coun- try takes title to Some federally-built EVA property in its area, said owl.

LaboritesonWLB Score Ruling On Severance Bonus
Protest Refusal To Make Payment To Soldiers Part
 Of Union Contract

Labor members of the National War Labor Board fired a stiff broad side this week at their public and industry associates for lodging the issue Of severance" bonuses to work CTS who enter the military services.
 Such bonuses are now paid at many plants, in some instances un- der agreements negotiated by un- ions, in others voluntarily by em- plOyers. Unions have been con. sistently trying to have such bon uses written into contracts.
 Such an affort was made by the Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers Union at the American Brake anc Foundry Company of Los Angeles 1T a case upon which the board ruled this week.
 The management had been giving . bonus of two months pay to every employe inducted into uniform. Tc prevent arbitrary cancellation of the plan, the union asked that 1t be in cluded i'll an agreement, but the com pany refused.
 Nonetheless, the regional VILE at San Francisco voted to order in clusion of the bonus in the union contract only to be reversed by the top board in Washington, which held that, while such bonus was permissible under wage stabiliza ton regulations, it could not legally be required.
 That argument was asSailed by the laborites on the board, who dissented
 "Very few of the provisions which the board customarily orders are le- gally required" the labor members pointed out. But once the board as- sumes jurisdiction of a labor dispute, it has the obligation to decide all issues in the dispute on their merits.
 ''It fails to discharge that Obli- gatiOn when it sets up issues which it puts beyond the pale, without regard to the circumstances in par ticular cases."
