"Boiled down to its essence said Sen Wayne Morse the
speech for international power politics and

Now Mr. Churchill have world based force for
Anglo-Saxons and world based law for everyone else.
Yet that what he proposed in his Fulton and
Astoria speeches. He calls the UNO adudcate
Russian in Iran and Turkey by the Charter of the
United Nations.
But in the speeches he demands that the two
hold to their exclusive of the atom bomb and that
they go further and engage in military alliance.
The American people have rejected the alliance But have
rejected the of force? Not long retain the

much of the rest of the world to demand that other nations

British continue to aunt the atomic bomb and place

First significant union victory
came on November 3O 1914, when
printing trades unions won NLRB cleo

Later the firm was found guilty of un-

THE OLD so AND
SO SAYS:

| In Colorado, the City of Colorado
Springs bears about the same relation
to the Republican party that the Hen
nessey Block in Butte does to the
State of Montana. Colorado Springs
is Republican, conservative to the
core, and the party in that state makes
| it its unofficial headquarters.
But, according to a lot of Republi-
cans in Montana, who blythely carry
the torch for the American Power &
Light Co.,-the owner, lock, stock and
barrel, of the Montana Power Co.
these Colorado Republicans are tainted
with communism, they smell to high
heaven of socialism, and they are all
un-American. Why?
Consider, if you will, dear reader,
how easily good men, and good Re-
publicans at that, which is even more
important, may be led astray
In 1925 Colorado Springs bought the
gas and electric utilities Today the
city owns plant worth $4,000, 100000
Since then it has paid off a debt, of
$4,000, 100000. The City is debt free
tion to paying huge sums in lieu of
taxes the utilities have contributed
$4,000 100000 to the city treasury, and
now pay nearly the entire cost of
running the city

ness man in Great Falls, in Missoula,

Ask the editor of any daily news
paper in the state of Montana to print
these facts, and what will he say?
Well, we'll tell you. In brief, each
one would say substantially the same
thing thatit is all right for few men
sitting around a big table in some
office in New York City to pool the
money Of a lot of people and make
millions for themselves, but for a few
thousand who make up the population
of Montana city to act together to
do the same thing would be social
istic, communistic, radical and un-
American Meaning, of course, that
it might reduce the profits of the
American Power and Light, and conse-
luently the retainers enjoyed by these
self-same politicians.
And, of course, our conservative
business men could not let that hap
pen.

Americas Greatest Woman
Pianist Coming

Tucson has been favored re-
Gently with some exceptionally
fine musicians appearing in con-
cert.
So, we may have tendency
to be nonchalant when we read
the announcement that Muriel
Kerr, pianist, will appear in con-
cert at the Temple of Musica and
Art the night of November 81.
But if this notice does not affect
us, it's only because we've been
spoiled.
Because it so happens that
Muriel Kerr is Americas greatest
woman pianist, and that takes in
a lot of territory. 1t was. no less
a parsonage than the immortal
Rachmaninoff himself who first
discovered the talent that is Kerr.
It was chiefly thru his patient en-
couragement that she embarked
on the career that was destined
to bring her to the top rung IN
the world of music.
This special VIVA. attraction
has elected much interest on the
part of local music-lovers and
tickets and reservations for the
event can now be secured at the
Temple of Music and Art box-of-
flee, Tel. 1856.
Miss Kerr's program includes
three pre1udes by the much-talk-
ed-about Shostakovich, and a
complete group by Chopin.

TOWN HALL ATTRACTION
SCORES WITH COSSACKS

Thelma Williams has been
doing a consistently good
service for the community in
presenting outstanding at
fractions in the world of en-
tertainment.
Another good example of
her keen showmanship as di-
rector of Town Hall attrac-
tions is the appearance Sat-
urday night, November 16, at
the Temple of Music and Art,
of the internationally famous
Don Cossack Chorus and
Dancers.
With twenty-five years of
outstanding performance be-
hind them, the Cossacks this
year are reported to be in
great form and they are COM
piling a record of sold-out
houses from coast to coast.
The sensational Slavs from
the Don Valley combine the
romantic touch of the steppes
with the deep harmonies of
the Volga, and their sense of
musical emotion has been the
object of many columns of
adulation this year from the
SterneSt critics.

now be made at the Pioneer
