REJOICE AT DEFEAT
OF WINSTON CHURCHILL

The elimination of Winston Churchill,
the Prime Minister of Great Britain, as an
international leader was accepted by the
working people Of the world with salts
faction and considerable citation.
Mr.. Churchill succeeded Mr.. Chamber
lain, neither of whom typified the aspira-
ations, desires or the tribulations of the
common people Of England or anywhere
else. Both of these gentlemen typified
the laissez faire philosophy of the 18th
century. 1t reminds one of RUdyard Kip
ling's ''Only a bone and a hank of hair"
and they couldn't and they wouldn't I'M
derstand. By the actions Of Mr.. Church
i'll it scenes at least that the liberal, So
cial, economic and political trend that IS
so obvious to everybody else was unseen
and unknown by him.
Winston Churchill was an aristocrat and
a tyrant by nature and training. 1t can
almost be said hat the rise of Mr.. Church
i'll to the pinnacle Of eminence was occa-
stoned by the policies pursued by the gov
ernment of the United States since the
invasion Of Poland. The vote OF the Eng
fish people and accession to power OF the
Labor Party astounded the world almost
as much as the Russian Revolution OF
1877 and its effect will be felt and noticed
in every country in the world. Even
America with its blatant expressions OF
democracy is feeling the impact Of a
changing world. The defeat of Churchill
must be considered a victory for human
ity. It is regrettable that his constituency
reelected him to the House of Commons.

EN- GARDEI

What house Is so strong or what state
so enduring that it cannot be utterly over
thrown by animosities and division?" So
wrote Cicero nearly two thousand years
ago.
"A warning against divisiye tactics
again!' you will say. "But don't you
know the war is wOn?"
Of course it is won, but in the winning
we can suffer a bitter defeat. Of what
avail is a Pyrrhic victory? The unity
which grew up overnight when we were
attacked is showing signs of being too
quick a construction job. There are
cracks across it and the breaches in the
walls brought about by group hatreds and
prejudices have not been mended.
Listen to people talk today. Notice how
quick they are to blame their ~neighbors
for all that is troublesome. I've had three
examples Of this recently. A labor man,
whom | had always counted on as being
as conservative as myself, showed me a
fragrant example Of self-interest on the
part of firm, and said "This is the
attitude of industry. Another man whom
[ have always respected for his fairness,
startled me by his generalized d%enuncia-
ton of all labor after al outlaw strike
condemned by labor itself. A third man,
a liberal of liberals, made me sick at heart
by a virulent diatribe against minority
groups.
These are cracks in the wall These
are signs of danger. The greatest peril,
however, will come when the siege halts
Montana labor news., 1945-08-02

and the men are withdrawn from the
walls. Then, if we let it happen, disunity
will divide us into small, self-seeking
groups. Then will the breaches widen
until a small force can march in and seize
the state.
1t has happened before. 1t can happen
again. And it will happen to us unless
we use care in preventing it. We must
man the ramparts in the hour of calm as
watchfully as in the heat of battle. We
must stand shoulder to shoulder in the
reconstruction of the world, never slack
ening in our fight against divisive influ-
ences. We must remain on guard to pre-
serve our unity.
In the words of that great spokesman
of unity, General Smuts-"Let US go for
ward in peace as we did in our adversity-
as united fellow citizens in a free world"
Ruth Raylor.

CITIZENS HANG mr..
BLACK MARKET

TRENTON, N. J.-(FP)-A citizens
rally to fight black market practices and
support full employment was held at the
steps of Trenton's City Hall, ~climaxing a
parade through the city's streets which
featured Mr.. Black Market, a sinister
looking villain hanged in effigy.
More than 400 people turned out to
hear President James L. Patton OF the
National Farmers Union and DR.. Frank
Kingdom, radio commentator, warn that
we are more in danger Of initiation to-
day than were were six months ago or
two years ago"
The rally was sponsored by the Tren-
ton Citizens Committee, which includes
representatives of the AFLl. CLIO, farm
ers, business and professional groups.
Radio programs and bus posters an
nounced the rally and flags and placards
decorated T~renton's State street, main
line of march.
Patton declared that price and income
controls must go hand in hand and urged
full support for the Presidents so mil

squeeze between cutbacks with reduced
take-home pay on one hand and in
creased prices on the other-unless the

old fashioned you are for such a young

surrender meant when Roosevelt and
Churchill first said it at Cairo. and
Stain confirmed it at Yalta. But now

Maybe it's because Us kids don't go

New York, June u. (UP)stocks made
a small advance Tuesday after a sub
stantiai recession yesterday. Trading
lghtened moderately.
There was nothing in the news to af-
feet the list but the trading element
could find no reason for the previous
sessions decline either so a few resumed
buying operations. Selling dried up and
prices moved ahead in most sections.
Leading issues were fractionally high
err Special stocks had gains running to
more than a point and Standard Gas is
sues rose as much as points in the
preferreds.
Celanese preferred ran up A3 points to
new high and gains of point and
beteer were noted in American export
lines, Baltimore G. Ohio issues, Common
wealth and Southern preferred, Eastern
Air Lines, Grumman Aircraft. Gulf Mo-
bile and Ohio. Missouri Kansas Texas pre-
feIred, Pennsylvania Central Airlnes, and
Virginian railway.
Rails were bitter as a group. Higher
priced motors held around the previous
close. Steels firrned. Oils balanced off
small gains and losses.
Packing stocks made small net gains.
