PUBLIC LACK OF SELF CONFIDENCE
By LoWNDEs MAURY

DR.. Melby recently to the Lions
Club in Great Falls said: 1.-THE people
of Montana have lost confidence in

this is restored. 1t cannot be regained

congress, thereafter, continuously for
so years in Montana, permitted the
absentee lords of finance, from the

the state, and insult them like calves

Fifty-one years ago (my first as a
resident), the Anaconda Company, by
the use of money, came within 1000

troll of state government. I say ode

Perhaps the fact that negroes worship

by Senator Bilbo to be an unethical

Of both parties did not instanteously
answer Senator Bilbo. We regret ex-
ceedingly that neither the house nor
the senate had the faith in democracy
to pass full and adequate appropria-
lions for FEPC.
For the noble efforts of Representa-
tives Norton, Marcantenio, and La
Toilette, of Senators Chavez, Morse,
Aiken, and others, we have the high
est praise. They lead the fight out
side of and in large part against the
established leadership of the Demo

The people of America are watch

watching the Democratic and Republi-
can parties. In our opinion they are
profoundly disturbed with the failure
of the congressional leadership of
both parties to fight for the elemen-
tary democratic principle of job OPP

regret and often, the anger, with
which the negro people, the Jewish
people, all minority groups of race
and religion have felt this abject fail

anti-Catholic demagogery. We are
conscious of systematic attacks on the
negro people.
We believe that America has come
to a crossroads. One path through
race hate, religious intoler

other, the path of democracy, calls
upon all of us to fight day by day
for equal opportunity under law in all
walks of life.
A national crisis is impending; a

REPORT SHOWS
INEQUITY OF
FIXED WAGES

Department of Commerce reports of
profits made by corporations in the
war years brings home clearly that
wages as part of its great contribu-
ton to the war, is an example of sac
rifice that the corporations have not
seen fit to emulate. Not only have
tremendous increases in salaries of
executives of the large corporations
been granted but legislation has been
passed which insures by possible tax
refunds, the profits of the corpora
lions in postwar years.
The partment report states:
Corporate profits after taxes were
about the same in both 1943 and 1914
almost 10 billion dollars This is
morethan twice the profits of 1899,
the last full year uninfluenced by re-
armament and war, and three billions
higher than profits in the prosperous
year 1929. 1t will be noted, however,
that these profit estimates are signifi-
cantly higher than those published
previously before the availability of
the latest corporate income tax data.
I'm interpreting these figures it
should be kept in mind that for the
last two years the estimates are based
upon data for large corpora
lions. There are indications that in
this period the earnings of smaller
have increased more
rapidly than those of large ones, and
although some allowance has been
made for this factor, 1t is possible
that the estimates, especially for 1914,
are still too low. Unincorporated
business has likewise experienced
profitable business during the war
though many proprietors were in
duced to go into war industries be-
cause of better opportunities for in
come, or for variety of other reas-
ons."

More Food Going

less supplies from outside sources are
sent in at once.
Contributing to the general food
crisis in these countries is the fact
that seven million persons brought
into Germany as slave workers are
now making their way back to their
own countries. This confused migra-
ton will go on for many months.
These people have no source of food
of their own and must somehow OBJ
tain enough to keep alive till they are
resettled.
The President, in his order to
agency heads, repeated parts of Judge
Rosenman's report which dealt with
political and. economic considerations
involved in our European feeding pol
icy. A chaotic and hungry Europe,
he said, would not be fertile ground
from which stable, democratic and
friendly nations" could be expected to
arise The prospects for permanent
peace, he maintained, are to a great
extent dependent upon the restoration
of the economy of these liberated ma
tions.
In addition, the President pointed
out that our own chances for post
war prosperity and full employment
will be jeopardized unless the liber-
ated nations of Europe are soon able
to resume full scale international
trade. This they will be unable to
do until stability of government and
minimum well being of their peoples
are blished.-Farmers Defender

new SURPLUS
GOODS OFFICE
FOR BUTTE

The department of commerce has
indicated that it plans an expansion
of a number of its field offices for
the disposal of consumer durable
goods, and Montana is definitely in
line for one of these new Offices"
Senator James E. Murray stated to-
day.
The senator was informed of the
intention of the department of com
merce following telephone converse
ton with Mr.. w. Stuart Symington.
chairman, surplus property board. The
senator has been adviced that the new
office will probably be located in
Butte.
In making this announcement, Sem
ator Murray said: 81 believe that the
creation of an "Office of Surplus Dur
able Goods Disposal in Montana will
give all persons in the state an oppor-
tunity to acquire those household and
other items which the military serv-
ices no longer need and which may
now be sold for civilian use. This
action will tend to simplify the &C.
QUESTION of such goods for Montanans
inasmuch as heretofore they had to
travel long distances-either to the
west coast or to Chicago-to be able
to buy such surplus consumers goods"
Senator Murray has been assured
that the new Montana disposal office
will handle surplus trucks, which at
the moment are badly needed % by
farmers in the state to transport the
bumper crops which they have raised
this year and (2) by business to re-
place worn out equipment so that they
may continue their normal operations.

endangering the lives of our fighting
forces. as the communication system
of the present armies is one of the
most important branches, and any de-
feet in the system can result in a
great loss of life at any time.
These corporations have exploited
every nook and corner of the state
where there was anything to exploit,
and Butte, their headquarters, is to-
day one of the most PITIFUL of all
towns in the country and has become
so quiet commercially that persons
from other parts of the country have
informed me that Butte, once the
toast of millions as one of the best
towns in the world, is today known
as 1.-THE Only Electric Lighted Grave
