customary easy two-week start dur
ing which both houses adjourned
Fridays for the weekend.
TWenty-four measures were be-
fore the 10th assembly as this week
started after IL days OF quiet, brief
sessions with little floor discussion.
However, as sessions got under way
this week, the legislators began
throwing numerous bills in the hop
per drawn to revise and amend
present statutes and to bring new
legislation for Montana's present
and postwar future.
BY sessions end, some 500 bills
are expected to be introduced in
the two houses, some of which will
go through with little ceremony and
others of which will cause hours Of
heated debate, both in committee
meetings and on the floor.

MANUFACTURERS T H E M E SONGr' The first phrases of this GAY CHORUS ARE: If you pay the lazy, ignorant workers $25 a week to loaf, they will never take a job!'
 No doubt in back of the minds of these industrial giants who re- ceived a CORY PROFIT on this war of 500%o for every dollar in- vested is the DREAM of CUTTING MECHANICS WAGES to NEW ALL TIME LOW during reconver- sion! Twenty-Five dollars must look like their proposed wages for a $6O week mechanic! THEY FEEL CONFIDENT THAT THIS CAN BE BROUGHT ABOUT, BUT IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO DO THIS IF EVERY WORKER RE- CEVED A CIVILIZED UNEM- PLOYMENT BENEFIT!
 The same GREEDY MEN are now seeking return of two years wartime taxes and a gift of Uncle Sam's billions of dollars worth of war materials and tools to aid them to reconvert! A good proportion of the billions spent for these war materials were from not only the workers taxes and BOND BUYING, but ALSO THE BOND BUYING OF SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN WHO COME FROM THE WORKERS RANKS! The majority of the larger industries built up a tax evasion insurance trust fund during their get rich quick period that will more than generously take care of their big executives while they plan to STARVE THE AMERICAN WORKERS INTO SUBMISSION!
 The old phrase, coined after the last WORLD HOLOCAUST has been dusted off and raised for us all to see:

 All central labor councils af- filiated with the American Fedora tion of Labor are hereby instructed to set up special committees to aid veterans to obtain jobs.
 2-All affiliated national and in. ternational unions are urged to seek agreements with employers providing for training and employ ment of veterans on a fair and equitable basis.
 3In order not to penalize vet- erans for the time they spent in the nations service, it shall be the policy of the American Federation of Labor to grant them accumulated seniority, just as though they had remained continuously in their former jobs.
 EThe American Federation of Labor will support legislation to ac- cord veterans full opportunities for education and training, to assist them to buy homes or to start in business and to provide them with the highest practical standards of unemployment compensation.
 America will welcome the re- turning veterans with open arms and deep sense of obligation. La- Dor produced the weapons of war. The boys who are to return won the war with those weapons. They and we must win the jeace toe gether.
 "The stalWart and self-reliant men who fought against the enemy want no special favors. All they ask and expect is an even break and the opportunity to make up for lost time. Labor is determined that they shall have it."

they heard the first rumblings of Q peoples government rising.
 The Orientals, both in India and China, are equally as determined to rule themselves and take care of their own affairs without foreign interference. Our own nation that was founded on peoples front principle, and whose constitution like it's land was borrowed from the American Indians who had eS- tablished through their SIX MA TONS, the first modern day DEM OCRATIC FEDERATION OF STATES or NATIONS, has always expressed itself more than willing to retire and withdraw it's military controls just as soon as it wit messed TRUE PEOPLES FRONT rise to take charge ina conquered country.
 Canada to the north of us, en- couraged by the elections in Eng land and made doubly aware of the benefits of a labor government by the recent visit of Australia s Labor Governments Representa- tive of Good Will, Premier McKell of New South Wales, the largest State in Australia, has placed a strong LABOR proposal with Prem fer Mckenzie King for POST WAR PROGRAM! This program includes a 3O%o increase in wages, such as is proposed by LABOR here in the United States, to take care of the slack in take home pay with the cut-back to a 4O-hour week in the POSTWAR PERIOD that is now beginning.
 Our own Government with the clear headed leadership of Presi- dent Truman has submitted as well a bill that would increase the un- employment wage to at least $25 weekly in all states of the nation with a GUARANTEE of 26 WEEKS UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS to a worker in a year! Our President is aware that the many millions of men and women in the lower brackets of pay who have had no increases during this war when in- dustry has piled up 5OO% profit, may well be up against it during the first eight to twelve months of reconversion. During this war these patient workers have suf- fered through economic imitation through the soaring costs of living that were not held within reason, they have paid exorbitant rents, and the many hidden as well as apparent heavy taxes, and have been able to save little beyond the amounts they so generously and gladly invested in war bonds.
 If now, during reconversion, these people are forced to relin- quish their bonds because of dire necessity, it would create a near financial panic in not only this na- ton but the world!
 However, the strongly backed financial giants through their in- strument," the National Manufac- turers' Association, have already contacted "their sOlons" through the most extravagantly backed LOBBY" in the country. and these charming gents, presumably elected by the people who have watched the willing workers of America perform veritable mir acle of work during the war, are now chanting a NEW NATIONAL

NEW YORK, Sept. 1s.-The nylon
hosiery dream suffered a setback
today.
The National Association Of Hos
iery Manufacturers said that even
with predicted production Of $780,
600 dozen pairs by Christmas, less
than one pair per woman would be
available by that time.
Besides that, rayons are likely to
be in shorter supply by the turn of
the year than ever with overall
hosiery stocks lower than at any
time since the war began.
During the war the rayon indus
try operated under . War Produc-
tion Board ALLEGATION order provid-
ing hosiery manufacturers with
rayon yarn equaline large per-
centage Of the poundage Of nylon
and silk yarn they received in 1s4l.
That order expires September 80
and rayon producers have indicated
they plan to divert most Of that yarn
to their normal peacetime custom
ers, the fabric weavers.
If that is done supplies will be
smaller until nylon porduction fol-
hosiery catches up with the normal
poundage used by the industry.
The hosiery association said II
probably would be late spring OF
early summer before women could
be sure Of getting nyIons and that

The Russians were reported to
have demanded s600,ooo, 900 repara-
tions from Italy in a move opposed
to the ideas OF the United States
and Great Britain.
The United States and Britain
have adopted a policy Of helping
Italy reconstruct her battered econ
omy. The question of reparations
Is particularly ticklish for the
Americans in view of recent action
by the United Nations Relief and
Rehabilitation Administration In
authorizing international aid for
Italy, expected to amount to $780,
100000.
Since the United States con-
tributes about rs per cent of UNRA

matte quarters that the Americans
in effect would be footing a con-
siderable portion of the reparations
bill should Russia succeed in strip
ping Italy through large payments

, One authoritative source here
said Russia was the only member Of
the Big Five to ask payment from
Italy. The size Of the Russian de-
mand brought objections from some
quarters because it was twice as
much as Hungary and Romania

yesterday for treason.

The one-time boy wonder of
French journalism recanted in q

were called in the one-day trial.
"The war has ended and now,
after having seen what Germany
and the atomic bomb she originated

Truman Says Japs
Are Retained in Korea
Only in Servant Role

President Truman said today
Japanese war lords are being
ouSted from Korea and those
japanese remaining in RESPONSE
BILE positions are retained "only
because they are deemed essen
tial by reason of their technical
qualifications"
The Presidents statement en-
phasized that these japanese stand
in the role of servants of the
Koreans" and that the nation is to
become free and independent as
soon as this can be brought about
The Presidents statement today
is in line with his defense of the
use Of the Japanese last week when
he said their retention by Gen. Mac
Arthur, which had aroused protests,
was practical matter and that
they would be removed quickly.
Text of Statement
The text OF today's statement
follows:
The surrender of the japanese
forces in Seoul, ancient Korean cap
ital, heralds the liberation of a free
dom-loving and heroic people. De-
spite their long and cruel subjection
under the war lords of Japan. the
Koreans have kept alive their devo-
tion to national liberty and to their
proud cultural heritage. This SUBJ
lection is now ended. The Japanese
war lords are being removed. Such
Japanese as may be temporarily re-
talned are being utilized as servants
OF the Korean people and of our
occupying forces only because they
are deemed essential by reason of
their technical qualifications.
In this moment Of liberation we
are mindful of the difficult tasks
that lie ahead. The building of q
great nation has now begun with
the assistance of the United States.
China, Great Britain and the Soviet
Union which are agreed that Korea
should become free and independent.
Will End Jap Control.
The assumption by the Koreans
themselves of the responsibilities
and functions of a free and inde-
pendent nation and the elimination
of all vestiges of Japanese control
over Korean economic and political
life will of necessity require time
and patience. The goal is in view
but its speedy attainment will re-
quire the joint efforts of the Korean
people and Of the Allies.
The American people rejoice in
the liberation of Korea as the Tae-
Gook-Kee, the ancient flag of
Korea, waves again In the Land of
the Morning Calm.
