POINTS OUT
BENEFITS OF MVA
10 THE MEMBERS OF MONTANA

TO THE MEMBERS OF MONTANA
SENATE AND THE MEMBERS OF
ATIvES, HELENA, MONTANA.
MONTANA HOUSE OF REPRESENT
Dear Sirs:
Today's Omaha world Herald" re-
ports that a Montana H~ouse-Senate
Memorial declaring opposition to Mis-
souri, Valley Authority was PASSED and
signed by Governor Ford.
1t is hard to understand this SORT Of
action at the present time. The whole
world knows the great good that came
out of the Tennessee Valley Authority
to the states and their peoples involved
therein. Our Missouri River Valley has
infinitely greater possibilities. Any other
method of development is patchwork and
will be of much less benefit to u state
and Nation.
There will be a great demand for jubs
in the postwar period. MVA will pro-
vide a practical aid in the solution to
Montana's employment problem. This is
important to those Of us in the armed
services as we intend to come home to
good jobs. We will have little love for
shortsighted individuals who fail to
appreciate our desires along these lines.
Montana has been a state with a sta
tionary population during the past dec
ade. This has caused the failure of many
business establishments and many others
doing poorly. MVA would bring oppor-
tunities which would make possible a
sodnd increase of population giving the
business men, farmers, and working men
a new era Of stable prosperity.
IN the interest of every citizen, civil

|PAC WARNS EIGHT
MILLION
WILL LOSE JOBS

NEW YORK.-(FP)-The CLIO Politi-
cal Action Committee opened a coast-to-
coast campaign August IS for federal
legislation to protect workers during the
~reconversion crisis.
Alarmed by the cancellation of billions
of dollars in war contracts and predic-
tons that eight to 10 million war work
ers will be unemployed within the next
few weeks, the committee voted at a
conference of international union Off
cials here to bring pressure on Congress
for prompt passage of labors recover
sion program.
IN winning the last rounds Of the
war in the Pacific we must not lose the
first rounds OF the peace in Detroit,
Pittsburgh and San Francisco" said PAC
Chairman Sidney Hillman, who presided
at the conference.
TO our men and women in the armed
forces, as well as to our great armies
of men and m on the home front
who demonstrated their zeal in the pro-
duction of tools Of victory, we wish to
make clear that we shall consider our
selves victorious only when we win the
war and when we are assured of victory
over poverty and the fear of depression.
Hillman warned that unless Congress
acts promptly huge sections of the
American people will suffer and Ameri-
cas- powerful productive capacity will be
frittered away. Most urgent job before
Congress, he said, is expansion and liber-
alization of unemployment benefits.
Other urgent legislation mentioned by
Hillman included the Murray-Patman
full employment bill, the Csc hourly
minimum wage, the Wagner-Murray-
Dingell social security bill, a national
housing program, additional veterans
legislation and other measures designed
to contribute toward a full production
and full employment program. Main
points in the CLIO r%econyersion program
being urged upon the administration and
Congress, Hillman said, include:
Higher basic wages. CLIO is asking the
President to let the War Labor Board
increase all basic wage rates by 2O%
and up to tic hourly,
No reduction in take-home pay to
compensate for cutbacks and shorter
workweeks.
Hold the price line. OPA must be re-
tanned to keep a ceiling on prices. quail
ty grading must be added to price con-
troll.
Retain and improve the U. S. Employ
ment Service to help transfer workers to
the right jobs.
Increase and improve unemployment
compensation which should be raised to
allow a maximum of SIS weekly for a
minimum of 26 weeks.
Planning and improvement of state and
federal work projects.
A program OF full production and full
employment through the teamwork of
government, management and labor.
Montana labor news., 1945-08-30

ian or soldier, this memorial should have
encouraged this great postwar project.
I doubt that other regions will be so
shortsighted. Montana will find itself
a backwater Of America.
These are times for bold planning if
we are to avoid depression and hard
times. The soldiers are not going to be
very tolerant if these problems are not
partially solved by the time we return.
We left Montana and many Of us have
faced death for the common good and
now it appears we are being betrayed by
some people on the home front.
The solution to the home front war
and postwar problems are of necessity
in the hands Of the people at home.
The MVA plan certainly needs con-
structive attention and support NOW.
Each citizen should do his part for
the common good.
Yours respectively,

words.
when I went into the camp
early in January, the guards, all
men over 60, seemed convinc-
ed that the war would be
over in month or two. The
German command was so disor-
ganized that we never received
any mail, or Red Cross food
packages. There was no work
for us to dove just sat around
and starved. A number of pris-
oners died from malnutrition
or pneumonia, although we had
two doctors. But they had no
medicines or instruments, could
give nothing but the barest Of

SAN FRANCISCO, May s -
(R-BritaiR will present to the
United States, France, China
and Russia tonight its ideas on
international trusteeships. There
are differences on two import
ant points with the long-debat-
ed American plan.
The American plan was given
the other members of the Big
Five Tuesday night and immedi-
ately sent to their various capt.
tails. London's reply has been
received by the British delega-
ton here.
The main points of difference
between the British and Ameri-
can plans are:
/. Strategic areas: Britain OPP
poses the American plan to sep
arate trusteeships into two cate
gories, strategic and non-stra-
tegic. She prefers to apply the
same principles to all areas.
2. international control: The
British attitude places greater
emphasis on responsibilities of
the mandatory power and less
o those of the international or
ganization.
'-he Chinese are likely to side
with the United States on re-
sponsibilities asking for even
greater international contr
tn the Americans propose the
{ 'nese may lean toward the
British on the first point.
\ Freench delegate said his
c-c.ntry did not intend to present
complete plan, but rather to
ggest changes in those pend
ing before the Big Five. France
is expected to side with the Brit
ish on the point of international
responsibility, namely, pulling
dependent areas into the i'm
perial system of the trustee ma
ton.
So far the Soviet stand is a
complete question mark to other
officials of this United Nations
conference.
Here are the main points OF
the British document, which
was befor: the meeting, and
modified after the submission

! and said: "Peace is good, but it
is not getting me home much
faster than il we still were
fighting. l don't know whether
I'll like Austria very much"
Because most units today are
on the move on highways jam
med with vehicles rolling for
ward to new locations there was
little chance for jubilation.
Headquarters staffs are fling
ing equipm-lt into trucks, men
are stacking kits into jeeps and
~convoys are forming up to move
on.
Surrender or no surrender,
McCreery's men still are in the
army, still are following orders
and still art moving camp just
as they have done hundreds of
times before. For them the rou-
tine is the same.
The end of the costly Italian
campaign still is not an end to
war and most of the Tommies
face the prospect either of &C.
cupation assignments or of trans
fer to the Orient for more fight
ing.
The general restraint also
could be explained in part by
the fact that Eighth Army SOL
diers have known for several
days that the fighting in Italy
was over.
The break up of Gen. Helm
rich Won Vietinghoff Scheels
forces was self evident as Brit
ish armor swept forward - once
as much as 70 miles in one day.
There would have been more
of a reaction among the men if
the surrender announcement had
not come since a majority of the
men have been saying for the
past several days: "The damned
ferries are licked. Why in hell
don't they give up?"
The men who feel the end Of
the fighting here more keenly
than the British are the New
Zealanders, South Africans and
the Poles who so far are not
committed to the tasks of occu-
patton. For these veterans of
many bitter engagements the
war may truly be over.
