WONDERFUL TOMORROW

According to an advertisement we read the other

shinq oqe A truly wonderful tomorrow, it soid is
about to shape up before our eyes.
Amono tomorrow's wonders will be teevision
TeIevison will carry new thoughts and hopes into
millions Of homes the I'D continued It will stir mems
hearts and minds in matter Of moments.
Then came challenging sentence: "Teevsion
is reody-ore YOU?"
WE'LL thot's hard one to answer. Through the
years the world has thought it ready for SO many
things thot would stir mems minds and hearts, and
brinq new thoughts and hopes. And while televsion
has the power within itself to open doors, heorts and
minds, precedent doesn't offer much cause for san
euine hope
Take the case Of radio. Anybody who ever
brought in Havana on crystal set in the small hours
of the morning can remember thot feeling Of awe.
some wonder which seemed to prophesy the dawn
Of world brotherhood. Here wos q miracle that was
going to do miracles for humankind.
The novelty wore off, and in time radio brought
US not only eobeeircline conversation but also Doc
GebbeIs, the propaganda specialist, and Doc Brink
ley the goat gland specialist 1t brought greet music,
and the singing commercial, and the poisonous
tory Of Adolf Hitler.
We should like to think thot when teIevson
comes to every home, the character Of mankind
might suddenly be ennobIed. But we have sneak
ing suspicion that with televison shall be seeing
as we'll as hearing the singing commercial and the
soop opero, and thot girls will be oble to sit home
and slide to the living room floor in dead faint in
steod Of having to stand in line before theoer for

There really hovent been many new devices that
have stirred the minds and hearts Of the world to any

been able to keep pace with the scientific discoveries

And so, in spite Of the telephone and telegraph

poverty Too often it seems that inventions SIM

Probably we shall buy teIevision set when

Tiny Tools

Use of tiny tools under mi

space and time by using such
minute amounts of materials
that rare and costly chemicals
can be used. They also make

On TheScene
 In Washington
Rv Travis K. Hedrick

By Travis K. Hedrick
 Our British cousins have launched their first election campaign since the war with bitterness that holds a definite lesson for the American worker.
 Led by Winston Churchill, the Conservatives have signalized the break in the war-cabinet by waving the red flag at the Labor party and shouting for the Liberals to join them in fighting back socialism.
 Now Churchill is undoubtedly a great war leader. His figure symbol ized the fighting spirit of the British. He is an orator of no little power. But he is the same Churchill who followed-up his defiance of Hitler after the collapse of France with a statement that he did not become His Majesty's first officer to preside over the liquidation of His empire"
 Churchill is an English imperialist and he means to keep the crown colonies, and India, under, British rule for the benefit of British capitalists. He ignores democracy, save in the abstract
 So, when the British Labour party and the Liberals decided to break up the coalition cabinet, Churchill struck at once. He moved to make the election come at once in July. Then he took to the air and delivered an epoch speech in which he declared that socialism ''is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the worship of the state." For good measure he charged that mo socialist system can be established without a politi- cal police-a sort of CestapO.''
 The British Labour party is a socialist party. It is not a com munist party. It proposes national ization of public utilities and the railroads. It proposes full produc- ton and full employment after the war.
 Churchill sees that as a menace to imperialist policy and exploitation. He chooses to run on nationalist" plat form and shoves aside all his pre- viously held beliefs in the need of British unity.
 The prime minister warned against the spectre of imitation and said the socialist would permit the peoples savings to "shrivel before their eyes. , He asked for reelection and advised the people of Britain to wait till another day to "leave these so- cialist dreamers to their Utopias or their nightmares.
 All of ChurchilI's speech, trans. formed into Americanisms would make true-to-form Hoover Re. publican war-cry. It would fit the COP program of Sen. Robert A.

AS WE SEE IT

Such an agency would be made up of officials from key Federal agencies; would be responsible to Fred M. VinsOn, director of war mobilization and reconversiOn, and would have advisory representation from Iabor's ranks.
 H. A. Schrader, Machinists' re- search director, who participated in the conference, declared ''alI pos sible steps must be taken now to- ward utilization of aircraft plants to the limit, with government operation as last resort if other methods fail" He also voiced the hope that the labor advisory rep resentatiOn ''wouid not be merely window dressing, but that labor's ideas will be given genuine consid- eratiOn."
 A dramatic example of why workers go wild over slow-mOving War Labor Board machinery came to light this week as an aftermath of strike by members of the In- ternatiOnal LOngshOremen's Asso- ciatiOn at the P. s. Thorsen Com pany, a New York firm that does insulating work 0n ships.
 A factor in the walkout was a long delay by the Shipbuilding Commission, a unit of the w. l.. B., in reaching a decision on a wage dispute between the union and the company. To end the strike, the board called in union leaders to hearing in Washington.
 There, it was revealed for the first time that the commission had made its decision back in Janu- ary but that it had been held up because the chairman was ''too busy to write an opinion in the case" W. L. B. members, disgust ed with the disclosure, ordered inn mediate release of the commits siOn's directive.
 THE state editor of the Rutland (Vt.) Herald picked up an item handed over by a correspondent and read that the body of man found yesterday in the river was identified today as sO-and-sO.
 ''Why didn't you phone the item yesterday that the body had been found?" the editor inquired.
 ''What was the use" asked the correspondent. ''No one knew who the guy was until today.''

Taft, the Ohio tory if we here were suddenly faced with national election campaign.
 ChurchilPs words are just what Taft, Hoover and Vandenburg would choose to fight the New Deal policies of the late Pres. Roosevelt and their implementation by Pres. Truman.
 There is not too much hope that the British Labour Party can win the election. But British workers will learn a valuable lesson in the fight and American workers can do worse than read and observe the truths be- ing laid bare during the ruckus.
 Tories, however much they may work for a common cause during the fight against common peril such as fascism, remain tories for ever. All the Churchill oratOry about freedom, democracy and the

THE State Dept. has accused a group of writers-known for their criticism of State Dept. policy in China-of stealing ''secret" docu- ments. Subsequent investigation showed that other documents marked ''secret'' and ''highly con- fidential'' by the department in- cluded a telephone book and an excerpt from a Drew Pearson broadcast, heard by an exclusive little group of several million peo- pie, all no doubt sworn to secrecy.
 A FRIEND of Stanley Wood ward, Ne,0 York Herald Tribune war correspondent on Guam, con- tributed the following Woodward Saga:
 Woodward came staggering in- to the bar late. yesterday. He was drenched with sweat, his eyes bulged out through those thick lenses of his glasses, and I expect ed him to drop dead.
 ''But he shufled to the bar, hung his elbows thereon, and thus staying erect, leaned over gasp ing: oh God Whisky! Oh COd!'
 ''I finally gained his recognition and asked, Whats the matter, Stan?' 'Oh Cod!' he exclaimed, I've been out for walk with Ad- miral Nimitz.'
 ''The Admiral does seven miles to the hour, up and down mourn tains. Having ruined most of his staff, Navy PRO aides are now at the coy business of turing unsus- pecting war correspondents into signing up for walks with Nimitz. Today none are being suckered in- to the deal which trapped Stan. To- day the bottoms of Stan's feet are two great big blisters."

MONTANA RANGE
REPORT GIVEN

General rains over the state
have resulted in improved crop
growth conditions. Winter wheat
progress was favorable, gener-
ally. Some winter wheat has
had to be re-seeded; however
over the state the loss has been
slight. Spring grains are in
good condition and the cool
rainy weather has caused
stands to thicken up with the
heavy stooling. With the present
favorable moisture condition it
is expected that crops will make
a rapid growth.
Sugar beet thinning is far
therest along west of the con-
trnental divide, but it has been
held up by rains in areas east
of the mountains, and while
all sections report beets ready
for thinning, there has been
only a small portion thinned
to date.
Some acreages of corn and
potatoes remain to be planted.
Summer fallow operations have
also been delayed. Range grass
and pastures are improving
rapidly and livestock continue
In good condition. Sheepmen
are waiting for clear weather
to start shearing in most areas.
There have been some grass
hopper hatchings in most Sec
tons of the state, but damage
has been held to a minimum
by the cool, moist weather.
Bait mixing stations are ready
to start operations.

TO ISSUE EIGHT
POUNDS OF SUGAR

Following the announcement
that the maximum amount of
home canning sugar to be is
sued by Montana War Price and
Rationing boards would be
eight pounds per person, Dis
trict Director L. M. A. Wass
this week announced tina SINH
Lar action had been taken in all
the other Rocky Mountain states
Mr.. WasS pointed out that
applications for canning sugar
this year thus far have run far
ahead of the same period in
1914, and that local boards are
swamped with applications.
Since we know positively we
can issue a certain number of
pounds per person right now,
we are doing that so home can
ners will have sugar to use for
any fruit they may wish to pro-
cess in the early part of The
season. Any additional sugar
that may be issued later de-
ponds largely on how rigidly
applicants refrain from asking
for home canning sugar they
don't need. It is the responsible
lty of the individual housewife
to determine whether she uses
all of this allotment for early
fruit crops or retains part of
it for the canning of fruit
coming on the market later in
the season." Director Wass
stated.
Hotels and restaurants, that
have been getting somewhat
larger rationed food allotments
than household consumers, will
have their rations reduced be-
ginning July l. It is necessary
that the rationing program for
restaurants and other inStiCu-
tional users be further tighten
ed just as it has been for con-
sumers, the OPA said. The in
stitutions will get approximate
ly the same per meal allowance
as the housewife.
No sugar has been allocated
for the manufacture of alco-
holic beverages the War Food
Administration, the OPA, and
the War Production board said
in a joint announcement. They
stated further that no sugar
has been allocated for this
purpose during the last two
liquor holidays, and there
won't be as long as sugar re-
mains tight the agencies said.
The officials stated that the
use last year of 100000 tons OF
high test molasses may have
contributed to the erroneous
impression that sugar was being
allocated for alcoholic beverages
