Slovene Papers Demand Roat-

Washington. - Demands for
the trial of Gen. Roatta as a
c o m m O n war criminal rather
than a politician who from 1925
actively supported Fascism,
were voiced in the Slovene press,
the Free Jugoslavia radio said in
a recent broadcast relayed to

Slovene papers, carrying ac-
counts of Gen. Roatta's indict-
ment in Rome maintained, the
broadcast said, that I'VE have
other accounts to settle with
Roatta." -
"As commander Of Slovenia
and Dalmatia under Italian oc-
cupation he inflicted wounds
which are still smarting,' the
papers claimed, and added: "We
demand that. he be brought be-
fore a court not on account Of
his military or political mis-
deeds, but as an ordinary war
criminal"

However, the purpose OF this

the best they can. Only they
should honestly tell you that while
they can fix prices, they cannot
fix both the cost of living and the
standard of living. SO long as peo-

these goes down just sure as the
other goes up. Jesus knew this

COOLIDGE WRITES MANSFIELD

Amendment No. is another big
company movement to allow the ma
jor companies two years for the pur-
pose of geological and geophysical ex-
ploration which simply means that the
government acreage will be taken out
Of circulation for at least two years
and then filed on by another major
company and then passed around I'M
til it is under control and the little
fellow will never have a chance to
get it. Geological and geophysical ex-
Dloration should be done by the U. S.
| G. S. and the samll operator should
have access to this the same as the
major corporations and it should be
issued at the same time
Amendment No. 4 to eliminate the
asserted authority of the Secretary of
the Interior to fix the value of royalty
oil or gas in excess of the field market
price. This is another company con-
cession because in many fields the
major companies hold the price of
crude oil much below its market value,
and as they own the pipe line and the
market on the other end, they usually
control the price of crude while if
the Secretary of the Interior has the
right to place a value on royalty oil
and should be able to make all pipe
lines public carriers, it will tend to
place the posted field price of crude
at a much higher level for the adj
vantage of the Independent producer
Amendment No. 5, to permit assign
ment and surrender without approval
of the Secretary of the Interior This
is all wrong as the Secretary of the
Interior should have that power and
discretion. so it looks to me as though
this whole bill, outside of the first
is simply being promul-
gated by the major oil companies to
gradually force the Independents out
of business so they can control all
government owned land.
During the war period since 1941,
the majors have spent As million dol
lars in Montana and Wyoming alone,
buying out Independents who were
forced to sell for various reasons and
there is no question in my mind that
these majors only paid not more than
zoe on the dollar for properties con-
trolled by independents. If you want
to build up more oil monopolies, the
thing to do is to allow these four
to pass and | hope you
will see the light and do everything
in your power to prohibit the passage
of the last four amendments.
Very sincerely yours,
E. B. COOLIDGE.

Washington, d. C.
Dear friend Mike:
| note in our Montana Oil Journa
that the Petroleum Industry Wa
Council is making a request to Secre
tary Harold L. Ickes, head of the
PAW, that he aid in obtaining amend
Iments to legislation now pending in
congress dealing with the federal pol
icy of leasing of the public domain
for oil and gas exploration. This
Legislation is being promoted by all
major corporations for them to get
control of practically all public lands
in the United States and it is certain.
ly against all small and independent
operators, and if it is allowed to go
through, we soon will have all the
government acreage in the United
States owned or controlled by the
major oil companies.
There appear to be five amendments
to this bill. No. 1, the reduction of
royalty on exploratory leases and new
discoveries at a flat rate of 121a %.
This amendment is all right and
should be extended to all government
leases as government leases are now
handicapped by sliding scale royal
ty which gives preference to lands
privately owned that operate on
II " %, and personally, l think all
government and state lands, along
with fee simple lands should be on
the same basis.
Amendment No. 2, which is asking
for the enlargement of acreage limits.
This is strictly major company pro-
posal as they expect to grab up all
government acreage in blocks similar
to that controlled in the Middle East,
Venezuela and other foreign countries
Each company now is allowed some
$4,000 acres, which is more than ample
and should be reduced to 5000 acres
per company instead of being unlim-
tied, and this allowance should also
cover working agreements with indi-
vidual permitees which are gathered
in by the major companies to increase
their block of acreage and avoid the
present law. Here in Montana, three
or more major companies control over
q million acres of land along the face
of the Rocky mountains which will
exclude development by all small OPP
orators and create an additional mo-
nopoly.

WASHINGTON.-Labor Secretary
Lewis Schwellenbach still is pinch
ing himself to be sure that his re-
cent conference with Henry Ford
II, grandson of the octogenarian
motor magnate and president of the
Ford company, wasn't just a dream.
The labor secretary was google
eyed over young Ford's liberal views
on labor questions and the current
wage-price controversy.
Among other things, he gave
Schwellenbach those assurances dur
ing their meeting:
Ford declared that new deal had
been undertaken in the Ford en-
pire, with many organizational
changes planned to make friends
with union labor, definitely putting
an end to the company's union bait
ing of the past.
YOUNG FORD FAVORS COL
LECTIVE BARGAINING - Ford
went fatty on record in favor of
collective bargaining, declaring he
would do all in his power to pro-
tect this right of labor in future
wage negotiations.
Most important of all, he confid-
ed to Schwellenbach that he was
ready to agree to an increase in the
wages of Ford auto workers.
81 want to meet labor halfway,
the auto chief asserted, pointing out
that the United Auto Workers I'M
ion has demanded a 80 per cent pay
hike. He said he couldn't go the
whole distance in accepting union
a fair compromise and would play
ball with the union leaders as far
as he could
Finally, while asking no definite
continent, he strongly indicated to
Schwellenbach that if compromise
settlement could be reached between
a Is and 80 per cent wage increase,
his company would not ask the OPA
for sales price increase for its au-
tomobiles.
In this connection young Ford
said he realized clearly his COM
pany's responsibility in holding
down further inflationary price
trends and, he added, he was ready
to play ball on this as we'll as wage
increases.
Henry II told the labor secretary
that one of his biggest problems
was labor shutdowns in feeder"
plants, such as the Kelsey-Hayes
plant, which supplies the Ford COM
pany with most of it's wheels.
He said that if his company was
