Mr.. Walter S. Good, President

1904 Third Avenue North
Great Falls, Montana
Dear Friend Walter:
Acknowledge receipt of your pam
phlet urging support for The Peoples
Voice. This, to my mind, is very
worthy contribution and it should be
supported to the fullest extent and
should be expanded to increase it's
circulation 3 or fold. There should
be men around Montana taking sub
scriptions on a commission basis that
should increase the weekly circula-
| ton.
1t looks to me as though you should
have no trouble getting the money
| you need amongst the farmers in the
state of Montana, and while | do not
object to it for the reason that they
have been on the short end of the
stick from the last war up until the
| beginning of this one with simply
get-by prices, principally due to the
fact that our government allows mar
ginal trading, short selling and trad
ing in futures which should be elimi-
mated from every farm production
market in the whole United States,
but the facts are, that the farmers
have been on the gravy train, so to
speak, ever since the war started, and
will continue until at least two years
after the war is over as promised by
congress, and | know dozens of farm
ers who have not even sold the wheat
that they have produced and have
built grain storage for the same for
the reason that they fear they will
have to pay too much income tax if
it is put on the market.
The farmers and working men are
more flush with money at this time
than during any period during the
last 25 years Consequently I believe
that The Peoples Voice should have
no trouble, with the proper organiza-
ton, to at least triple it's present sub
scriptions
AS for my own case, we independ-
ent producers have experienced the
worst time in 25 years of service sis@e

price was frozen and we are forced
to deliver crude to major refineries
at this frozen price while all refin-
cries get a bonus for all special prod
ucts they deliver to the United States
government Consequently, all refin-
cries are also on the gravy train while
the independent producer is in the
same position as the wheat farmer
selling wheat for soc bushe1. l
might add that our lifting costs and
expenses have increased at least 1870.
We did receive a bonus of 35c a
barrel last fall but even this does
not take care of our expenses but
comes nearer helping us break even
for our operations.
This letter is written not to cry
about my situation, but to set out
the facts to show that if The Peoples
Voice plans to go ahead and is to
become a real factor in our state
political set-up for the common man,
now is the opportunity to go forth
with all effort and enlist subscrip-
ton list of at least IL or Is thousand
per week.
Enclosed find my check to help the
good cause along
Sincerity yours,

Editor of The Tribune
Great Falls, Mont
My Dear Editor:
The article in your paper of July
3, 1915, describing how Cpl. James E.
Newman of Fort Worth, Texas, hero
of Bataan and Corregidor came home
to die, was read with much sadness
and emotion, | am not ashamed to
say that | could not keep the tears
back.
1t also made me pathetically proud
Proud that we have such fine young
sons and daughters and neighbors.
! Just having lived almost So years
suppose I am classed among the older
generation. But humbly l thank God
live never lost faith in the younger
folks-If any of them has faltered-
Are they to blame?
DECIDEDLY not, the failure is ours
Because, we, did not train them cor
rectly.
We must accept the fact,
That-We are our Brothers Keepers,
AS well as our Sons and Daughters
"They who seek, Heaven Alone"
To save their soul, may keep the path
But will not reach the goal'.
while they who walk in Love
May wander far,
Yet God will bring them
Where the Blessed Are.
Yours very truly,
F. E. BEALL.
Editor of Peoples Voice

Dear Cap Bruce,
AS a further comment on the above
article, the writer wonders, if the
original article about Cpl. James E.
Newman of Fort Worth, Texas, being
brought home to die, was read by the
officials and directors of the ACM and
Montana Power and such reactionary
corporations-wo they still persist
in their strivings to be the Masters
of the states and communities in
which they operate, and sometimes
exploit, more than they develop
rather than, that they are the serv-
ants of the people to whom they are
proffering the sale of their services
They and others still feel that they
would rather act the role of Cain
and while trying to act as master
raise the "old cry" Are we our
Brothers keepers?"
Or perhaps in more modern Ian
guage play "The Canine" in the man
ger and try to block the full develop
ment of the Mighty Missouri river,
with all of it's tributaries as it should, |
and can only be done by the joint |
efforts of all the people of the United
States, through a Missouri Valley |
Authority.
If that be, and it will be done, we
will then erect living monument, to
Cpl. James e. Newman, and all of his
brave comrades, both living and dead,
and help to wipe the tears of anguish |
from the eyes of their parents, rela-
tives and friends.
Would not that be more satisfying

American Bombers
Smashing al Reich
Fourth Straight Day
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 17.-American
heavy bombers, carrying the mighty
air offensive against Germany into
Its fourth day, smashed at the
Reich from the west today and
Berlin indicated Mediterranean
based squadrons were striking from
the south again.
Three hundred and fifty Flying
Fortresses attacked the great freight
yards at Frankfurt on Main behind
the western front today, escorted by
$50 Mustang fighters which strafed
German, troops on the return flight.
Frankfurt, on the Main River, is an
important rail junction on principal
lines connecting Central Germany
with the western front.
About 1,700 American and British
heavies, including force of Italian
based FortreSses which struck the
Regensburg factory where German
jet-propelled planes are turned out,
ranged unmolested over a wide area
Of Germany yesterday.
The Regensburg assault cost the
enemy a number of the Jet fighters,
which were caught on the ground,
the Mediterranean Air Force an
nounced. United States 18th Air
Force Liberators also hit a jet
plane plant at Neuburg, so miles
north of Munich, and Landsburg
Field, IS miles west of Munich,
where the Nazi twin-engined Mes
serschmitts are based.
Since the British-American air
offensive from the west began Tues
day night, close to 1000 four
engined bombers have poured thou
sands of tons of explosives on at
least Is German cities in the most
furious sustained assault of the war.
More than 1000 9Th Air Force
bombers, followed by 200 RAF heavy
Lancasters, struck at seven oil, rail
and communications towns close be-
hind the western front by daylight
yesterday.
Ten American bombers were lost
In these attacks, which aerial recon-
naissance showed caused heavy
damage. All the British planes re-
turned from their low-level attack
on Wesel, a city at the northeast
corner of the Ruhr, which is an OBJ
jective of the Canadian 1st Army

world and also meet the supply needs
Of the liberated and former satel-
lite countries.
This shipping deficit is regarded
here as the crux of the whole prob
lem and the showdown will have to
come over this issue:
Is it more important to get a max
imum force fighting in Europe in
order to end the war as speedily as
possible, or is it more important to
supply the starving and shivering
millions of liberated Europeans with
what they need to stave of hunger
and cold?
Director General Herbert n. Leh-
man has pending before the Central
Committee of UNRRA a recon-
mendation from its London ofice
for formal proposal to the West
ern European governments that
UNRRA be allowed to aid them in
their relief work.
On previous occasions they have
rejected such possibilities, contend
ing that they could best deal directly
with Britain and the United States,
the principal sources Of supply.
Whether they may now change
their attitude remains to be seen.
But here again the heart of the
problem is shipping and no paper
decision by UNRRA can assure de-
livery of goods unless shipping is
made available.

Labor Paper Demands
Shoke-up of UNRRA

LONDON, Feb. II lR.-An over
hauling of the European relief
operations Of the UNRRA appeared
possibility today.
The question was brought to the
fore by the Laborite Daily Herald,
which bluntly demanded: What has
gone wrong? Why should this vast
organization stand paralyzed in an
hour when its activities should be
mounting to a peak?"
Action there must be-" the paper
added editorially. "As a matter of
the utmost urgency, the whole setup
and operations Of UNRRA must be
overhauled. The condition Of lib
Grated peoples urgently requires 1t.
The honor of the United Nations
demands It,"
This criticism followed q state
ment in Sydney by DR.. H. v. Evatt,
Australia's minister OF External
Affairs, that despite much elaborate
organization UNRRA has, not func-
toned to any extent In Europe"

Rockefeller, Leading
First Delegates, Due
In Mexico City Today
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated fIesS.
MEXICO CITY, Feb. 1.-THE
United States point of view is ex-
pected to be brought to bear on pre-
liminary discussions of war and
peace topics affecting the Americas
when Assistant Secretary of State
Nelson Rockefeller arrives here to-
day In the vanguard of 80 delegates
to the Inter-American conference.
Mr.. Rockefeller, who is alternate
delegate from the United States, is
scheduled to land around noon
aboard an Army transport plane,
accompanied by several Latin Ameri-
can ambassadors from Washington
Secretary of State Stettinius, chief
United States delegate, is expected
next Tuesday.
(In Washington it was reported :
Mr.. Stettinius would visit Rio de
Janeiro before going to Mexico
City. Whether he will return to
the United States briefly or go
directly from the Brazilian capi-
tai to Mexico was not revealed)
Coming with Mr.. Rockefeller are
Undersecretary of Commerce Wayne
G. Taylor, Warren Lee Pierson,
president of the Export Import
Bank; Michael M. McDermott, spe-
cial assistant to the Secretary of
State, and possibly Avara Warren,
chief Of the American Republics Di-
vision OF the State Department.
Uppermost in the minds of Latin
American delegations as they face
the postwar period is the way In
which the United States will carry
out It's transition from a wartime
economy.
In this same sphere is the doubt
held by many of the Latin Amer
ican delegates that with state
controlled economy In Russia and
an avowedly postwar program OF
controlled exporting and importing
in Britain, their chances Of COM
peting in an open market, where
they can best fare, will be severely
jeopardized.
The United States already has in
dicated 1t is prepared to offer con-
crete, practical suggestions for solv-
ing these problems. These sugges-
tions are said to include assurances
that American wartime purchases
will not be curtailed suddenly.
Secretary Stettinius is expected to
inform the conference of the way
the inter-American system, in all
spheres, can best work itself into
the world organization, and particu-
larly the decision of the voting power
Of the Dumbarton Oaks proposals
which the Big Three reached at
Yalta.
While the Argentine situation has
been shunted to a relatively unim-
portant position in the conference,
it has already come forth as prime
subject for discussions among the
early arrivals, including the Brazil
ians, Bolivians and others.

WITH BRITISH TROOPS IN
GERMANY, Feb. 1.-THE Germans
are resorting to sugary appeals in
an attempt to escape the destruc-
ton of their own property such as
they visited on the rest of Europe.
Allied troops advancing into the
Reich on this northern front are
greeted by English-language signs
such as the following in almost
every house:
please treat this home as you
would your own
1--WE have done you no harm-do
not harm our little home"
In some cases the inhabitants
have fed in such haste that they
left behind plaster busts and photo
