SO0NC PLANNING
TO VISIT STAIN

SAN FRANCISCO, May 31-lP-
A Chinese official said today I.
V. Soong, holding increased au-
thority as new prime minister of
China, planned to go to Moscow
after the United Nations confer
ence to talk with Marshal Stain.
One of the principal purposes
of the Chungking cabinet changes,
in which Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek delegated the premiership
to Soong, this official said, was
to facilitate Soong's conversations
with chiefs of other states.
He has already been to Wash
ington to consult President Tru-
man.
Soviet-C Chinese relations have
been a weak point in United Ma
tons harmony. There has been
continuing conflict between COM
munists and the Ghungking gov
eminent inside China - a likely
subject for discussion between
Soong and Stain.
The Soviet government was re-
ported to have told United States
authorities it did not support the
Chinese communists. But the Sow
let official press has protested fire.

Undersecretary of War Patterson

He told a news conference that
these arrivals will boost to 1851
the number of liberated prisoners
brought back to this country by
ships and airplanes. The number
represents, he said, more than
one-third of the 10000 former pris.
oners Of war in Europe who have
been returned to American lines,
who are in the hands of Allied
forces, or in the process of being
returned to American control.
The figure of $4,000, he said, re.
presents in the opinion OF the War
Department, substantially all" Of
the U. S. soldiers taken prisoner in
the war against Germany. 1t is not
expected, he said, that many Of
those who are listed as missing in
action will later turn up as having
been prisoners of war.

are inclined to work for socialism

Better get it and read it.

first chapter. White describes their
first landing on Moscow airdrome,
and his first impressions of that
city. We quote:
On the way we get quick first
look at Moscow. Wide, incredibly
empty streets. sidewalks full OF
hurrying, shabby people, walking
past the dingy shops in dilapidatcd
buildings. Monotonous rows of un-
interesting apartments, concrete
beehives which sometimes make an
effort at beauty in ornamentation-
but half-hearted effort, like the
architecture of an institution.

that what is missing is competition
Nobody bothers to put up a striking
store front or well -arranged win

all run by the food trust, the cloth

matter of indifference to the gov

err the public chooses to buy its
stocks or sausages at one drab gov
eminent bureau or at similar one
down the street.
Here competition with the state
is outlaWed, hence inefficiency is
protected. The people accept it be-
cause they know nothing better.

returns from abroad with the news
that keen capitalist competition has

Family tradition on the maternal

The story goes that Little Grand
mother and Grandmother were at
home alone one night when they
were awakened by the plaintive
Waiilng of luckless pig, and the
outcome of the investigation re-
suited in Grandmother holding a
candle while Little Grandmother
shot the bar.
In this day Of autos, airplanes,
radios and the many other modern
inventions, the scenes of the back
woods and the Old West would well
seem a thing of the distant and
never to be re-enacted past.
But by the shades of our grand
mothers and other heroines and
settings of a bygone day, there are
still bear lin them thar hills" and
here in Lincoln county, Montana,
are still to be found the heroines,
or at least one, who can kill a
bar.
This particular heroine, a modest
little brunette, not only "shot a
bear" but shot him through the eye
with a 20 rifle and after eating
breakfast and reporting for work as
usual in town, when asked if she
expected to have the bear skin
made into a rug with head attached.
calmly remarked, she'd probably
have the hide tanned but as she
already had good open-mouth bear
rug. she thought it unnecessary to
have second prepared in like
manner.
Calm and collected as she APP
eased, the feminine finally came
to tie surface when in response to
the question of how many shots it
took to bring the bear down, she
admitted that the first shot through
the eye made good beginning but
that she sort of lost track Of how
many shots were fired! The story
appears on page of this issue.
And speaking of bears. The

Shooting Of People
AS Hostages Is
Borborous
BY CHAS. d. ROWE

b. CHAS. IL. hOWE
Revenge may be sweet favored
dish upon its first tasting but it
frequently brings on bad case of
indigestion. We surmise the Rus
SLAMS will find that out to their
sorrow. They have announced they
will execute as hostages so Ger
mans for every Russian soldier or
official that is killed by the Ger
man underground forces. And that
edict is probably now being en-
forced in that part of conquered
Germany that is under Russian
control.
Of course, it is only giving the
Germans mild dose of their own
medicine. But the world condemned
the Germans when they were shoot
ing hostages by the hundreds. The
present turning of the tables does
not make the atrocious practice
right. There can be no justification
for the execution of an innocent
person for crime of which he is
innocent. Such policy by a con-
queror only breeds and nourishes
hatred and there's altogether too
much hatred in the world today as
it is.
We do not favor soft treatment
of the Germans. But the shooting
of hostages will only make bad mat
tiers worse. If it works out as it
did in France, Norway and other
occupied countries, it will only stir
the Germans to greater activity
against the hated conquerE.
Men have always been willing to
die in order to attain what they
consider as their rights. The Rus
SLAMS themselves proved that mag
nificently in the defense of their
own country. Let us hope the
Germans will have no reason to do
likewise.
The Germans should be given
stern but justice treatment. They
should be required to restore. in
sofar as is possible, the awful dam
age and destruction for which they
are responsible. They should be
kept in condition where it will be
impossible for them again to wage
war. But to make them suffer
merely to satisfy a spirit of re-
venge would be wrong and poor
craftsmanship.
An order comes out from Wash
ington for another drastic cut in
the nations sugar consumption.
That's all right if conditions make
it necessary. But at the same time
this order was issued the newspa-
pers told of decision to grant the
liquor industry liquor holiday
when extra sugar will be made
available to the liquor industry.
1t isn't pleasant to criticize in
time of war, but where under the
blue vaulted dome of heaven is
there any sense in such an order?
Housewives are saying they will
not have enough sugar for their us
ual supply of home canning. Home
grown fruits will have to be con-
sumed at once or be permitted to
spoil at the very time when the gov
