The Forum

Editor Western News, Libby,
Mont. 1t is easier for Veterans
west of the Rockies to 90 to Port
land than to Fort-Harrison (many
do for treatment; hence my sug-
gestion on the new locations for
the veterans hospitals now under
consideration. Miles City and Bill
lings are bidding for it, but the
Flathead "Camas-Hot Springs" has
everything else beat for Montana's
new Hospital in all ways-Climate,
water, etc. Flathead, Lincoln and
Sanders Counties should get to-
gether and push this project now
Not when it is too late
So, my suggestion to every citi-
zen of the west of Rockies-write
your REQUEST to your Senator and
Representative right Now Thank
You.

Diamonds by the
Hundredweight VS..
Ignorance & Poverty
BY Chas. D. Rowe

Is anyone surprised that this
uuarrelsome world is plagued now
and then by revolutions? One
shouldn't be. 1t frequently re-
uuires a revolution to correct age
old wrongs.
We thought of this while reading
of the magnificent tribute paid the
great Aga Kahn at Bombay, India,
recently. He's the religious leader
of the Ismaii Moslems. In a pub
lie ceremony, his weight-243l2 lbs.
was matched in diamonds, gifts
from loyal followers. This magni-
ficent pile of diamonds was made up
largely of gifts from rich Indian
princes. The diamonds were to be
sold later and the proceeds-eS-
timated at S2.200,000- are to be
used for Ismail welfare and bene-
volences among the poor.
There can be no quarrel with the
uses this royal gift to
the Aga Kahn is to be put to. The
thing that emphasizes existence OF
a monstrouS wrong is that there
are princes wealthy enough to make
of jewels of this enor-
nous amount Contrast that with
the other side of the picture. India
has long been known as a land of
ruthless extremes. At the top are
the princes with their almost I'M
riches and luxury. And
many of them are lazy and morally
leprous. At the bottom is one of
the worlds cesspools of filth, pow
erty, squalor, ignorance, disease and
There millions of
people merely exist like animals
IN utter degradation.
India needs a revolution-a revo- .
luton that viii correct the inhuman
injustice that exists there Here's
a magnificent job for the UNO to
set about doing.
Better chalk up a large mark
o the credit of the Labor govern
nent of Great Britain.
An extraordinary statement Of g.
rational policy-revolutionary in its y
that made on March
5 by Prime Minister Attlee The
British statesman declared that In
liza had the right" to choose full
He further said that
f India chooses full independence,
ii viii be for us to make the tran
ition as free and easy as possible
The prime minister expressed the
.ope that India would elect to re-
main within the British common
wealth of nations, but if she so
hooses. 1t must be by her own
rec will"
If the Government of Great Brit
in moves to honestly put that de-
laration into actual operation, it
will be one of the most encourag-
ng signs to engage the attention Of
he world for many day. 1t Will
e a long past due attempt to cor
ect a terrible injustice that has
ong afflicted the people of India.
'erhaps after all justice will event
ally come@to the downtrodden and
people of India.
But there are many perpleXlng
roblems in that unhappy land still
0 be solved There are two reli-
ious parties in India, and they are
litter foes. They have antagonistic
ieas as to how India should be
overned. They must first settle
heir differences before any real
rogress can be made.
However that may be, Great
britain deserves commentator for
move in the right direction-a
love toward freedom for dependent
copies. 1t indicates a trend of the
ines that means real progress.

age to see citizens of Canada turn
| ing traitor to their country and
selling highly important secrets to
foreign nation. It isn't at all
strange that Soviet Russia should
attempt to secure those important
secrets. All nations are spying on
each other The strange thing is
that highly intelligent people will
stoop to such a despicable betrayal.
We had our Benedict Arnold. Can
ada is now discovering that she
has dozens of that type of rascals.
Prominent scientists and high of
ficials have been caught in the drag
net. Canadian officials reported
that some witnesses holding strate-
gic positions have made the signi-
ficant statement under oath that
they had a loyalty which took
priority over the loyalty owed by
them to their own country and for
that reason they acted as they did"
In other words, they felt a greater
loyalty t0 Soviet Russia than they
did to their native land-traitors
at heart
All of which helps to throw an
Illuminating light on an incident
in our own fair land
During the war strong criticism
was at times heard because certain
officers in cur army were COM
munistS. Since the wars end this
criticism has continued and grown
more vigorous A few days ago it
was announced that those COM
munistic officers had been discharged
from the army. That was good as
far as it went But the surprising
charge followed to the effect that ]
some of those avowed communists
had been moved out of the army
into our state department There /
they would have easy access to
many of our most important state I
secrets.
To an ordinary citizen it would /
seem that such a procedure is simply /
so outrageous as to be past under
standing. Here we have a dis
closure in Canada that high Off /
cialS and prominent scientists have (
stated they hold a greater loyalty
to Soviet Russia than to their own
country And yet we blithely move
similar communists into our state
Could anything be more assinine? (
Perhaps another note touching on
against colonial peoples is
pertinent at this time

Should the accusations leveled by
the Park County Board be true,
the OPA in that section is being run
in a most dictatorial and un-Ameri-

Spying and dictatorial system can
not be condoned by any true Ameri-

abolished without delay

Many hard-headed and honest
business men. followers of both poll

time it us necessary to maintain a
system Of price control in order to
prevent initiation and runaway
which will result in a huge de

the latter Dos and early '30S.

This. reasoning is sound and few
will disagree with it. The question
is. how to control prices and do 1t
in a fair and equitable manner for
all concerned. 1t sounds easy, but
everything that sounds easy, is not

We are rather convinced that Will
liam Kemp Of Libby knows his
snow-in Libby at least While in
this office round about the LIST. he
stated by the middle Of March
there would be very little snow left
in Libby. 1t looked rather impos-
sible for this to come true when the
statement was made, but the pas
sing of several weeks, has made Mr.
Kemp's prophecy Just about a
reality-but then he has lived some
40 years in Libby and should know
his weather.
