world. And have some responsibility
in that respect, may l say. This is a
period of decision. 1t is period when
we are making choices.
a.. 1t must be period of consoli-
dation, period when we develop
leadership, period when we come to
know exactly what action we're going
to take when Economic M Day and
Social M Day comes, because come it
will. So therefore it seems to me that
if we can get few basic concepts
that it would be worthwhile.
Scarcity VS.. Abundance
First choice, think, is the choice
between scarcity which means ma
tionalism, Imperialism, corporatism if
you want to call it that, war and de-
struction.
:" The other road is the road of
abundance, of world brotherhood aid
ing other weaker nation. It's demo-
crazy if you please, economically,
politically and socially. It's the Four
Freedoms. It's the sharing of raw ma
terials and markets. It's the implem-
entation of the Atlantic Charter. In
the long run it can and must lead to
Peace.
Now what is the present scene. The
present scene sums up about like this.
We're engaged in an atomic arms
race, a buzz bomb race. We in the
United States are rafting our sabres
under everybody's nose by sending
around the world and using all sorts
of devices to show off our gigantic
muscles. AS matter of fact there is
another thing, there is a whale of a
big smoke screen being thrown up
over the theological and political diff
ferences between ourselves and other
It's a smoke screen behind
which our gigantic corporations are
beginning to form their own foreign |
policy and by which they hope, in my |
opinion, to use our gigantic military |
strength to enforce not the foreign |
policy of the United States as the |
people determine it, but the foreign |

The Story Of Three Farmers Who Smoked Gle

farmers do. They figured out that if they dubbed
together, they could buy these 10 cent cigars at
three for quarter.
That meant that the cigars cost 1-3 cents each.
On the transaction they saved five cents.
Now question came up. Should these farmers
be taxed on the five cents they saved because they
were able to buy 1Oc cigars at three for quarter
There were people who went marching up and
down the land carrying the banner Of Private en-
terprise" and shouting that the farmers should be
taxed the five cents they saved because they
able to buy 10 cent cigars at three for quarter
The farmers scratched their heads and wondered.
They were not mad at anybody. They were not
against free enterprise. They showed some enter
prise being able to buy 10 cent cigars at three for
quarter. They had made saving.
All they had done was to club together so they
could buy and sell at better advantage
What these farmers had learned was that coop
Grafton pays. That is the strength Of the co-opera
tive movement, people working together to improve
their marketing and distribution system.

The way this story starts is that once upon time
there were two men who wanted to go into business.
They wanted to set up cigar store
They had some money, but not enough So they
borrowed what they needed Then they opened their
cigar store and began selling cigars.
They sold cigars at 10 cents apiece. Business
was good They sold lot Of cigars and made lot
of money. In fact, they sold so many 10 cent cigars
that they made millions Of dollars.
AT the end of the year they figured up their
profits. They set aside some for reserve. They
paid interest on the money they borrowed. Or may
be it was dividends on the stock they issued.
Then they kept all the profit after paying taxes.
They were good businessmen
Now it happened that there were three farmers
who lived near this cigar store. They liked to smoke
cigars They liked the particular 10 cent brand that
the cigar store Sold
But these three farmers knew that there was a
big profit in that brand Of 10 cent cigars And they
did not have any too much money to spend cigars
So they got together to talk things over, the way

MFU Opposes
CONTINUED from Page Onel

On health, the MFU recommended
passage Of the -Wagner-Dingell

ton recommended that CT loans be
made directly by government agencies
| instead of present method through
private finance channels. Also they

posal program be administered in such
manner that veterans will be actual
ly able to get surplus property.
Abolition of the poll tax was de-
manded. Likewise urged was passage
of the Fair Employment Practices act
as a permanent proposition.
Regarding full production the dele
gates went on record :. if capacity
production can be obtained in no other
way, that the government take over
operation of such delinquent industries
for full production"
Taking into consideration the most
undemocratic activities of some school
boards in the state (notably Helena
and KalispelD in trying to kill off
academic freedom of teachers, the
convention went on record strongly
opposed to such activities, and asked
that remedial legislation for the pro-
lection of our teachers be introduced
at the next session of the legislature.
A teachers tenure law proposal also
received favorable consideration.
Support of Referendum so by the
voters at the polls Tuesday was re-
commended. Also recommended was

fishing a state home for aged people

 because she's afraid of us. However, MT. Tunney's second assertion is wrong. I have met Russian soldiers across, even some who spent some time in concentration camps in Poland, and they firmly believe in the Communistic form of govern ment. The Russians are stronger adherents of their government than the Nazis were of Fascism. AS an American, I believe that form of government has done a great deal for the Russians because they were freed from the bondage of the old regime, but I also believe that Com- munism is definitely not the type of government for America, because ours is much superior"
