AMAZED AT U. s. MIGHT

Eden also compiimented the Sen ate on the fact that the United States was approaching the prob lem of peace from a non-partisan viewpoint, not letting it be po- litical issue. He said that England was doing the same. But perhaps Eden's most significant statement was regarding his visit to the U. S.. Chief of Staff.
 Lord Halifax took me over to see Gen Marshall" he explained, and he spread out for me on the map the vast power of the Ameri- can forces I must say that you have done miracle in this wal"
 And then he went on to pay tribute to U. s. military achieve ment, especially to the tremendous strength of the U. s. Navy in the Pacific and the victories which no one had believed possible a short time ago. Concluding, he turned to Lord Halifax and asked:
 And can I say what I said when I left?"
 Lord Halifax nodded as if a great secret was going to be dis closed.
 T said" continued Foreign Min ister Eden, Gen. Marshall is such a nice man"
 Senators who listened thought they read into this remark the diplomatic inference that, with al our military might, we would not seek to use that might to dominate the world.

 Hundreds of thousands of Americans have been showing intelligence and magnificent courage on the field of battle. Why hasn't there been enough intelligence and enough moral courage among our representatives in Congress for them to speak out against this fantastic provision and to repeal it?

 This, MT. Foreign Minister, is the coroner's jury. What we do in San Francisco must pass the final test in this room" (He> referred to the Foreign Relations Committee Room in which they were lunch ing)
 T also think we should remem- Der that we can't expect too much at San Francisco" Vandenberg continued. We are to set up con- stitutional framework. We are not to write the peace. And we don't want the world to be disappointed if that is all we do'
 Later, gracious Senator Barkley chided Vandenberg gently.
 T want to remind the able Sen ator from Michigan" he said, that la coroner's jury is jury that acts only after the body is dead. I hope that he does not imply that this committee is to pass upon dead body to be brought back from San Francisco"

Agricultural Program
Planned By Ki1uanians'

W. B. Bryan, president of the
Wilmington Kiwanis club, an
nounced today that the club had
been placed on the alert by XII
wants International to consider its
part in carrying forward a ma
tionwide community agricultural
program for 1915. Purpose Of the
program is to develop a closer
relationship between businessman
and the farmer.
The Community Agricultural
Program" will be one Of Kiwanis
InternationaPs major projects for
1915 under the general objective:
win the war-Build for Peace
Details will be announced at Rich
mond,s Ind, Wednesday, May .,
Mr.. Bryan said. After that, the
local board of directors will meet
to consider the best way to carry
out the program in Wilmington.
Mr.. Bryan said he had been ad-
vised that the 145,00o Kiwanians
in 1890 clubs in the United States
and Canada will be asked to par
ticipate in this far-seeing, long
range program. Kiwanis members
hope to strengthen agriculture by
doing the things which they, as
business and professional men, can
do for better farming in their COM
munities.
One Of the problems which Mr..
Bryan said probably would be at
tackled by the Kiwanis program is
that Of soil conservation. Others
will have to do with undermining
farm methods, and creating better
markets Sor farm products.

WE NEED ACTIVE MINORITTES

Dan Milestone, Cut Bank publisher and Republican ma
tional committeeman for Montana, notes that his party has ma
jorities in both houses of the state legislature. With that, he ex-
presses the hope that the Democratic minority will have intel
ligent and vigorous leadership. We heartily agree.
We need aggressive minority groups for good government
no matter which party holds the reins. Either so-caled liberals
or conservatives are apt to become extreme in talk and action if
some check is not placed on their activities, if there is not some
one to question their policies, to watch their activities and to
express criticism.
Our system of government gives protection to minority
groups, and for a very good reason. They help to form what we
call our system of checks and balances. You may regard it
merely as the "ous" fighting with the "ins.' But the outs, the
minority group, perform a very useful service in stimulating
complete and vigorous debate and investigation of legislation.
This is one of the prime virtues of the two-party system.
Of course, it does not always work perfectly. Sometimes, party
lines are rugged or broken behind the scenes. Sometimes issues
are not of a partisan nature, but are made so by intense
partisans. But, by and large, we benefit by allowing a minority
every privilege of investigation, debate and public utterance.
1t is supposed to be old-fashioned these days to talk about
party fealty or organization. But, if one stops to think, there
are very good reasons for having two vigorous and well-organ-
lied opposition parties. By the same token, one of the worst
things that can happen to good government is for either party
to go into power by a landslide vote. 1t often breeds arrogance
and indifference, no matter who the winner. Let us hope for an
active minority in Helena.

WHOSE BUSINESS is 1T?

When it comes to wheat raising, we look to farmers for
advice. When it's a question of some personal aiLment, most OF
us are willing to rely implicitly on our doctor. A mechanic has
the final word on how our car should be operated. We let the
generals run the wars.
But when it comes to business, we have a multitude of
self designated experts who are ready and willing, if not able,
to tell every business man just what is wrong with his opera
tons, what he should and should not do and about every detail
of his enterprise right down to sweeping the floor. 1t makes no
difference that a lot of these experts never have been in business
themselves. 1t is a fact and every man who is engaged in any
sort of commerce knows it. This, in spite of the fact that for
every fifteen begun, we have ten failures.
Business men, as a rule, don't pretend to have all the
answers to the troubles of the farmers or laborers, but they
have a growing feeling of the interdependence of all these
groups, a feeling that each should have the mutual understand
ing of the other.
One business statesman, Frank E. Mullen, general manager
of the National Broadcashng company, expressed this same
thought succinctly in a recent speech when he said:
Particularly does the lesson need to be learned that class
legislation obtained by a pressure group with a single eye to its
own immediate advantage, is the most dangerous of all solu-
tons to our economic problems.
"Yet if we who believe in the private enterprise system are
unable to cooperate in planning for our common good, we can
not be too critical of government if it undertakes to do our
planning for us. If we cannot settle our disputes, we are not in
a good position to say hands off to government. We must ex
pect government to provide employment if we are unable to
do so.
"If we can be guided by the longterm detectives we hold
in common, we shall be on the road toward the kind of postwar
our soldiers and sailors hope for and have earned. We want
them TO come home and say to us, This is the kind of America
the was worth fighting for And we want to be able to look
them in the eye and say, What you have come home to is an
America worth living for!" l.
