REPORT OF WORK
IN SUPREME
COURT FOR WEEK

October 9th-In the matter of the Es-
tate of Fred GiebIer. Appealed from
Missoula County, Missoula. Unani-
nous opinion of the court prepared by
Chief Justice Howard A. Johnson.
Facts: Giebleer died resident of
Montana leaving an estatee of
$5,41554 for distribution. A half-broth-
err and sister lived in and were resi-
dents of Germany The state of Mon
tana sought by petition in the district
court to have the property escheat to
the state under the provisions of Chap
ter 104 of the laws of 1889. The Unit
ed States alien property custodian
also claimed the property under the
federal power to take property of alien
enemies The district court decided
for the state and the judgment was
reversed.
Held: The determinative question
between the state and the federal gov
was whether the nonresident
Germans were, at Giebler's death,
vested with inheritance rights. If so,
then the alien property custodian sue
ceeded to those rights If they were
not vested with inheritance rights,
then the property would escheat to
the state. During the proceedings in
the district court an heirship determ-
nation was made that the two non
residents were vested with Inheritance

To promote international trade, t.
permit the specialization of each coun
| try in the production of those goods
which it is best fitted to produce, WE
must seek, as far as possible, the re
moya1 of trade barriers. This purpose
could be best achieved by multilater
|al convention among the nations OF
the world. International trade works
on multilateral basis-the trade be-
tween any two countries is affected
by the policies and trade practices of
the other countries of the world. Thus,
the multilateral approach, trade agree
ments among several countries would
promote the expansion of international
trade far more efficiently than the bio
lateral trade agreements, which this
country has relied upon up to the pres
ent.
There is another way, besides tariff
reductions, to encourage our foreign
trade. 1t is to work through existing
international bodies, for a rise in
standards of living all over the world.
This may appear, at first, like mis-
guided idealism, like "giving milk to
every Hottentot." But what harm is
there in giving milk to every Hotten-
tot, If, afterwards we can sell him
refrigerator The fact is that helping
the rise of world standards of living
would be intelligent self-interest, not
idealism. If the peoples of the world
do not have the money, they won't be
able to purchase our goods. Thirty
years ago, Henry Ford expressed the
same idea, when he proposed giving
his workers high wages, so that they,
in turn, would be able to buy his au-
Lomobiles.
All measures which promote world
will work, ultimately, to
our advantage. The world cannot ex-

ure. This is a lesson that we, the

It is my opinion that unless we find
some way to control effectively our
OWN monopolists and cartelists we
will not control those in foreign coun-
tries. These agreements are a threat

BY ELMER A. BENSON

ELMER A. Benson is chairman Of
the executive council of the Nation
al Citizens Political Action Commit
tee. A farmer, he is also the former
governor of Minnesota and one-time
senator from that state)
The amount of foreign trade this
county does each year directly influ
ences every farmers income. This
is true for two simple reasons:
In the first place, the American
farmer producese more food than the
domestic market can ever absorb, even
during prosperity. Thus, even in the
international economic anarchy which
prevailed before the war, we exported
about 400 of our cotton, about 300
of our tobacco, nearly 1919 of our
wheat, 1870 of our lard, and 20% of
our fruits
But agricultural prosperity is not
dependent on just the export of farm
products themselves. 1t also demands
a high level of industrial exports. In
order to sell his products at home, the
farmer needs a prosperous domestic
market, which only active industry
and fully employed labor force can
give him.
Ours is a united economy: If the
workers do not take home, each week
a sufficiently big pay envelope, if
great many of them remain unem-
ployed, they won't be able to buy the
meat, the dairy products and the &C.
reals that the farmers put on the mark
etc. The farmer is dependent on the
worker just as the worker is depen-
dent on the farmer This fact, in the
past so often ignored, must never be
forgotten as we consider national leg
islation.
The maintenance of full employment
in many of our large industries, such
as automobile and machinery, depends
on the sale Of large portion of their
output abroad. Industrial exports are
vitality important to the future of
American industry, and their market
will tend to increase steadily thanks
to our technical advance. Whether or
not they will compete on foreign mark
cts with our agricultural products for
the limited number of dollars available
foreign customers have to spend, is
not of vital Importance to the Ameri- |
can farmer, for part of every dollar |
thus gained in the sale of industrial |
goods will be spent in this country |
for the purchase of farm products.
The war has produced a tremendous
rise in our agricultural exports, vastly
increasing the farmers dependence on
foreign trade. In 1914, we shipped to
our allies, under lend-lease alone, 1879
of our pork, 300 of our milk, and 1919
of our canned vegetables. OF course,
part of this will be absorbed by our
home market, but only small portion.
The rest will have to be sold abroad.
Once the necessity of foreign trade
is clearly seen the question remains:
What must we do in order to promote
it? A basic fact of economic life is
that in order to export, we must be
willing to import. Just as the farmer
must be able to sell his crop in or
der to pay for the goods he consumes,
so foreign countries must be allowed
to sell in the United States in order
to buy from us.
There are many products, needed in Y
our economy, which cannot be pro-
duced here: raw materials such as tin,
nickel and tungsten; trop- '
ical food products such as coffee, tea, Y

rights. Since no appeal was taken
from that determination the matter be-
came res judicata and hence there
could be no escheat to the state.
October 16th-State ex rel. v. r.
Wiley v. District court. An original
proceeding in the supreme court aris-
ing out Of facts occurring in ulster
ounty, Miles City. Majority opinion
of the court prepared by Justice Al
bert H. Angstman. Justice c. F. Nor
ris dissented
Facts: Wiley was granted a retail
liquor and beer license by the state.
He then rendered the city of Miles
City, as a license fee to the city, an
amount equal to 500 Of the amount
of the statee fee (the maximum which
may be exacted). The city refused to
accept the fee and to issue a license.
Wiley then proceeded to sell liquor
and was arrested. He sought to en-
join the city from interfering. The
district court sustained a demurrer to
his complaint. The supreme court
then issued an alternative writ of SUI
pervisory control.
Held: That the state license can
not in any way be nullified or made
ineffective by local action and that
the healtor is entitled to sell liquor
under the state license subject only
to the payment of the fee which might
be exacted by the city. There was no
valid law justifying the prosecution
of Wiley, hence the order sustaining
the demurrer is reversed and the dis
trict court ordered to overrule the de-
murrer.

Gentlemen:
In Mr.. Anderson's letter (opinion
of readers, September 2S) he write
that the industrialists of Germany ant
Japan are going to be investigated
There is also much comment in th'
press regarding these same industrial
lists-but not a word about our OWN
The justice department and the sen
late military affairs committee, have
spent years investigating German in
ldustry, and also the extent to which
our own industrialists contributed tt
the German war machine. The re
suits of these investigations are
known only to a few. The press and
radio ignore them, saving most of their
headlines for strikes and government
interference with free enterprise"
Our American industrialists are as
completely involved as any German,
Japanese, French, English or Dutch
| industrialistsl
After the war, our alien property
custodian sold to the highest bidder,

through the medium of CARTELS
just 10 years to regain control of most
of the industry, of which she had been
completely deprived after the First

The simplest possible edifinition of
a cartel is to say that it is our old
enemy monopoly now streamlined and
operating on an international scale
Specifically, they are agreements be-
tween American and foreign business
firms for the purpose of regulating
industry and trade. They are private
governments, whose decisions are
reached secretly, whose officials are
not subject to election or removal
The destruction of German and JAP
anese industry inside these countries
will not nullify single one of these
cartel agreements. The magnitude of
German economic penetration in the
neutrals is indicated by a preliminary
study which reveals that German in
