PEACE AND CHARITY

With tremendous military operations already
underway anu the eventual conquest OF the Nazl
horde assured sober sense dictates that We plan,
and plan well, for the days that must follow to-
morrows victory. II is true that many experts IN
Industry are building a bright new world in their
laboratories and many chronological miracles are
awaiting the peace Nevertheless, no great new
designs fer social living have come to public notice
No matter what our scientists say we know that
men cannot live by gadgets alone.
If we are to enjoy the fruits of our industrial
genius we are going TO need international inter-
national and intergroup peace. The big three con-
ference at Yalta, for all its merit had OF necessity
to concern itself with the relationships between the
vast land blocs and between the great national
groupings Of the earth The relationships between
minorities and the infinite groups which comprise
nation have not yet Won widespread attention.
Nevertheless we shall not be able to go very far
toward permanent world peace until these lntra-
national difficulties are ntelligenty appraised and
justly resolved.
These so-called minor social problems are the
little acorns from which the big oaks of world con-
fict and violence eventually grow. Thus world
peace like charity must begin at home. Some con-
cepton of the magnitude of the problem which con-
front US may be cleaned from the concluding para
graphs of Walter Whites latest book "A Rising
Wind" Says Mr.. White
"The United States, Great Britain, France and
other Allied nations must choose without delay one
of the two courses - to revolutionize their racial
concepts and practices to abolish imperialism and
grant full equality to all Of its people, or else pre-
pare for World War Ill. Another Versailles Treaty
providing for mandates, protectorates, and other
devices for white domination will make such war
inevitable One of the chief deterrents will be
Russia. Distrustful of Anglo American control Of
Europe many and perhaps all of the Balkan states
may through choice or necessity ally themselves
with Russia. If Anglo-Saxon practices in China
and India are not drasticaly and Immediately re-
vised, it is probable and perhaps certain that the
people of India, China, Burma, Malaga, and other
parts of the Pacific may also move into the Russian
orbit as the lesser of two dangers
"As for the United States, the storm signals
are unmistakabe. She can choose between
policy of appeasement Of bigots-which course she
gives every indication now of following-and thus
court disaster. Or she can live up to her ideals
and thereby both save herself and help to avert
early and more disastrous resumption Of war.
"A wind is rising-a wind of determination by
the havenots of the world to share the benefits of
freedom and prosperity which the HAYES of the earth
have tried to keep exclusively for themselves The
wind blows all over the world Whether the wind
develops into hurricane is decision which we
must make now and Jnothe days when we form the
peace"

COURT HEARS
DISCUSSION OF
PRIMARY Law

The supreme court last Friday
heard attorneys representing Lester
II. Lobe, state chairman of the DEM
ocratic party and Ashton Jones, chair
man of the Republican party, pre-
senting arguments asserting that the
governor had authority under the
primary laws of the state to call a
special primary election for the nomi-
nation of candidates for election to
congress when vacancy exists as 1t
now does. Mr.. Lobe was represented
by Attorney Hall of Great Falls and
Mr.. Jones by Wellington Rankin of
Helena.
The hearing was held in the action
filed by Attorney General r. V. Bot
tomly for writ of mandate directing
the calling of an election to fill the
existing vacancy in congress from
Montana, with Governor Ford and the
chairman of the major political par
ties named as defendants. Governor
Ford was unable to appear in person,
but filed a brief asserting that under
previous decisions of the supreme
court he had no authority to call for
special primary election for this
purpose.
Attorneys Hall and Rankin pre-
scented strong pleas for using the prim-
airy provisions for the election of can
didates by the parties to fill the exist
ing vacancy in congress, as did Assist
ant Attorney General Hanley who pre-
scented the case for the attorney gen

FRANK MURRAY
Jefferson DAY.
STATE Chairman

Frank Murray. clerk of the stat,
supreme court, today was Informed
he had been selected Montana chair
man for the Democratic party's OBJ
servance of Jefferson day, April 10.
The appointment was made b,
Chairman Robert r. Hannegan of the
Democratic national committee.
Murray said plans were to hold sew
eral banquet observances in the state
and one already had been scheduled
at Great Falls and Butte. Others, he
said, may be held at Helena, Billings
and Missoula. Similar affairs are be
ing planned throughout the state and
nation
Mr.. Murray has isued the following
statement.
For many years now, the Democrat
ic party has made a custom of cele-
brating the birthday - April 10 OF
its immortal founder, Thomas Jeffer
son. We have had a dual purpose in
doing this. The first purpose has
been to honor the memory of worthy
patriot and the second has been to
rededicate ourselves to the fundament.
al principles of American democracy.
This years observances, however,
take on an added historical meaning.
THIS GENERATION OF AMERI-
CANS HAS A RENDEZVOUS WITH
DESTINY"
On April rs, IL days after the birth
of Thomas jefferson, author of the
immortal document the DECLARA-
TION OF INDEPENDENCE the
American people will look hopefully
to an important conference at San
Francisco, where the immensely inn
portant "Dumbarton Oaks proposals
for the establishment of a general in
ternational organization" will be seri-
ously discussed by all members of the
United Nations to round out a pro-
gram for an eduring WORLD PEACE
so that those who believe that all
men are created equal and all races,
alike, are entitled to, and worth of,
LIFE, LIBERTY and the PURSUIT
OF HAPPINESS"
This historical conference would UNI
doubtedly have been recognized and
approved by Thomas Jefferson be-
cause of the vital interest he showed
in opposing all forms of oppression,
wherever they existed, against those
searching for human liberty. One
reading of Jefferson's DECLARATION
OF INDEPENDENCE, at this time,
will show us where he would stand
today II he were alive. 1t is up to the
American people to forever keep alive
those ideals promulgated by Thomas
Jefferson.
Jefferson stood foremost in the rev.
generation not only in
but in applying the demo-

Northwest.
He said the largest consumer OF
Bonneville power is now and probably
will continue to be the Aluminium
Company of America. 1t was his opin.
ion that, if the future of aluminium
proves as bright as indicated by tes-
timony already submitted to the com.
mittee, then aluminium production
should experience further expansion
in the Pacific Northwest, in the long
run.
"The question of vital interest to
u.s." he pointed out, 'is whether the
disposal of the government-owned al
minimum plants in the Pacific North
west can be handled so as to encour-
age another primary producer or two,
or whether the plants will shut down. T"
Whatever happens. the administra-
tor vouchsafed, the Bonneville admin
isGation intends to cooperate with
Alcoa. Explaining this statement, he
continued:

velopment engineers is working on a
plan to help northwest businessmen
develop aluminium fabrication, which
in modest way would also help Al
coas market outlets.
yet, in the matter of disposing of
the government plants in our region,
in accordance with the Bonneville act
we would prefer to see the govern
ment make deliberate and sustained
effort to bring additional new blood
into the primary production of alum

The nations aluminium industry, in
Dr. Raver's opinion, was not in a
healthy position at the outbreak of
the war He said the destruction of
the only two alumina plants in the
country at that time would have COM
pletely paralyzed our airplane pro-
gram.
The witness described the help Civ
en- the Canadian Aluminium Company
by this government. Orders for the
purchase of aluminium, and advances
and loans sufficient to cover the cost
of constructing the s69,000,000 power
project at Shipshow were provided by
the United States when we could
have provided even greater energy
supply for aluminium in this country
by completing the power installations
at Grand Coulee and Bonneville
dams" In this connection, he made
the following statement.
THE first advance from this gov
eminent was made under contract by
the Metals Reserve Company and Ex-
port-Import Bank with the Aluminium
Company of Canada dated May 2, 1941,
for the purchase of $40 million pounds.

the county commissioners TO
condemn the property and
gave the defendant and appel
liant, judgment for his costs.
The petition for the new stretch of
highway, had been presented by nine
business and professional men in Liv-
ingston, apparently at the request of
the Northern Pacific railroad. The
increase in the railroads business in
Livingston had compelled the extern
sion of the railroads facilities over
the present highway and called for
employment by the railroad of cross
ing watchmen if it remained where
it was.
During the course OF the hearing in
the district court, it developed that
a petition signed by three hundred
residents, calling attention to the
danger of the present crossing and
asking for the construction of an
overhead crossing over the tracks OF
the railroad company, but this had
apparently been given no consldera-
ton by the commissioners, and the
presiding judge seemed to give it no
more.
The decision of the district judge, if
no appeal had been taken would have
given the Northern Pacific the right
to close off the present highway and
avoid the expense to it of any safety
measures for the protection OF the
public in crossing it's tracks.
Observers at the hearing in the dis
trict court were impressed by the ap-
parent interest of the judge in giving
the railroad company every consider
alton, and stated that he rendered his
decision very promptly after the argu-
ments of the opposing attorneys and
then pulled paper from his pocket
and read from it the names of the
three appraisers appointed to appraise
the value of the land it was proposed
to condemn.
Only one of the nine who had pre-
scented the petition to the county COM
missioners appeared at the district
court hearing, and he stated on the
stand that he knew little about the
matter; that some representative OF
the railroad had called on him and
asked him to sign the petition which
he did
The supreme court found that there
was mo foundation for the condemna
ton proceedings" and that the COM
missioners had not shown that their
proceedings were desirable and nee
essary" !
