Observation-Disclosures the story
of Harry L. Hopkins sudden trip
to Europe is a fascinating bit Of
human drama that is related to the
larger drama OF Russian-American
relations now occupying the center
Of the world stage.
At the time of President Roose-
velt's death, Hopkins left the Mayo
clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, to
come back to Washington for the
funeral of his closest friend and
great benefactor. He did not re-
turn to Mayo's; instead. he retired
to his smallish house in George
town to try to recuperate there.
Much speculation conferred on
whether Hopkins would fill o r
President Truman somewhat t h e
same role he had assumed for the
dead President; that is, as world
trouble shooter and negotiator. 1t
was obvious that he had a greater
store of knowledge, out OF his ex-
periences during the past five years
than any other individual.
/ In their first two talks, Truman
and Hopkins quickly came to an
understanding. Hopkins own de-
sire was to step out of the picture
completely. He wanted to devote
himself entirely to writing the his
tory Of the war and the troubled
years that led up to it. Large Of
fers from magazines and publish
ing houses assured his financial in
dependence during the time that
he would set down the intimate his
tory of the crowded IL years from
1888 to 1915.
Moreover, he told the President
that he would be more of a iabili-
ty than an asset because of the
enemies he had made on the Hill.
They would not forgive him now
that Roosevelt was dead.
The two men agreed that Hop
kins would retire as early as pos
sible. Hopkins fully expected an an
nouncement to this effect out of the
Presidents press conference.
Then came the worsening Of re-
Ilations between Russia and the
Western Allies. The situation plain
|ly called for something more than
routine diplomatic exchanges. It
called. for someone who could talk
frankly, and yet In friendly way,
with Stain. Above all, it was i'm
portant to clear up certain basic
Misunderstanding before the next
meeting of the Big Three, to which
Truman would come as a strang-
err
The President asked Hopkins if
he would 60 in spite Of his i'll health
In their previous talks the latter
had said that if there was any
mission he could perform at any
time, he would be happy to do it.
In spite Of the fact that he looks,
as one of his friends put it, like
someone rescued from the Dachau
concentration camp, his. answer
was yes.
So the frail, stopped man who
first flew to Russia in the simmer
Of 1941, following the fatal blunder
Of the Nazis in their attack on the
soviet Union, is going back. Even
for someone in perfect health, it
would be an, arduous and trying
trip. For Hopkins, shadow Of his
old self, it represents grave risk.
He, perhaps, more than"any sim
gle individual, British or American
has talked face to face with Rus.

COMMUNICATING LEWIS AND CLARK
(Montana Standard)

That Montana is taking the lead in concentrating the Lewis and
Clark expedition to the northwest 40 years ago will be gratifying news to
every Montanan. Most Montanans, we venture to say, know the background
of the history of the expedition sent out by President Thomas jefferson
just after the turn of the 10Th century.
1t is an intriguing story. Every school child should know the story and
every adult should feel a sense of pride in the foresight of his forebears.
who nearly a century and a half ago accomplished what has been described
is the greatest diplomatic success in the history of the United States.
This comprised the purchase of what was known as the Louisiana ter
ritory from France for the trfling sum of s15OOoo0o. The sum may be
called trining in these days of billions, but at that time it constituted more
the entire federal budget for one year.
Perhaps it is a quirk of fate that the deal turned out Is it did, because
the money which was paid for the Louisiana territory was not authorized
by congress, the men who made the deal-Napoleon of France and Robert
Livingston for the United States-did not have authority to consummate
such a transfer, and the United States, when the deal was consummated,
cid not know exactly what it had bought.
But Napoleon needed the money to carry on a war with ENGLAND and
the United States needed the territory, especially New Orleans. for its
population which was crossing the Aneghanes and spreading out in the
Mississippi valley in a growing flood.
The property the young United States government bought for s15-
10000 proved to be worth many thousand times more.
Lewis and Clark carried back to President jefferson a hint of its
after they came up the Missouri and found a passage through
the Rockies to the northwest
The Louisiana purchase and the Lewis and Clark expedition comprise
series of events in the history of our nation which il more interesting
The Louisiana purchase made the United States and the Lewis and
expedition confirmed it.
So it is only natural that Montanans should be grateful that this
segment of history Of the United States is to be brought to light in such
manner that it will live forever in the hearts and minds of we the people
who today are enjoying the fruits of the foresight of our forbears.
May we leave such a heritage to those who come after us.

WE SEE MANY USES FOR IT

The professional fish smeller has been replaced by the
Stinkometer, a new device which tells with scientific accuracy
when a fish is spoiled" says one of our ever alert magazines.
There are other things besides fish that smell. Which leads
to the conclusion that a man with imagination might find a wide
and varied market for the Stinkometer. For instance, in our
legislative halls, when the, well, when the oratory got too
thick, wouldn't it be a great thing if an automatic Stinkometer
would turn on the ~sprinkling system, turn off the lights, or some
thing?
Personally, we have no trouble deciding when a fish is
spoiled, but there are other things where the odor is not so
apparent. Some great mind might invent a selective Stinkometer
to attach to our wonderful postwar radios. 1t could turn off the
flow when the commercials or the comics corn became too thick.
Just think of the time and agony saved if portable Stinkometers
could be attached to all public speakers, especially those who
think a speech must be long to be good. The possibilities are
imitless.
Meanwhile, we'll have to rely on our old-fashioned if some
what unreliable noses. Which won't keep millions of Americans
from yelling, THAT stinks," when they feel in the mood.

ALWAYS AT HIS SIDE

Last week we printed the letter of a Glasgow officer, who
said there is no agency doing more for the service man overseas
than the Red Cross. In various ways, we have heard that state
ment many times.
In the midst of all the helGsh devices of war, its pain and
sorrow and hardship, it is a comfort that we have an agency like
the Red Cross that can tighten the burden, even in small ways,
for the men on the fighting fronts, or for their families at home.
The Red Cross is impersonal, but its work is done by thou
sands of people-the field director with a military unit, the
clubmoble girls who serve in every combat theater, the grey
ladies" who comfort our wounded, the volunteer workers at
home who make surgical dressings or help in emergencies or
those who prepare the prisoner of war packages, those boxes of
nourishment that are keeping many interned men alive and
hopeful
Our Red Cross, your Red Cross, is asking for your help
this week. 1t is asking for your dollars to buy a share of kindness
and comfort. Can you do anything better with your money?

Editorial And Otherwise

Tournament Notes: Glass B competitors in the divisional
meet opening today include two dark horses. Nashua %triumphed
over a favored Wolf Point team in the local district. Poplar was
doped to win in District 2, but Fairview, definitely moderated,
overturned the Indians, AZ to 43. Circle and Pentywood came
through as expected in their districts. Coach Larry OConnor of
Nashua again will be wearing his lucky tie, we predict. Some
joyous fans sought to part him from it after the district meet but
finally gave heed to the Porcupine mentors frantic pleas to
keep it.
The violent and bloody story of the battle for Two lima,
another island step on the way to Tokyo, has been given in de-
tail to the American people. 1t is not a story that we like to
read, but it is one that we all should know. We are entitled to
the truth, be it good or bad. 1t should be told, not only for the
