"My comments were in no way
intended or offered as ridicule,
either to the American Negro at
home or the Negro soldier in the
service.
"It was intended as a frank ad-
mission that the leadership quail
ties evident were below the stand
ards required for the efficient per-
formance of certain types of COM
bat duties land an equally frank
statement that for some time to
come the Negroe soldier would
need new and wider opportunities
in order to develop the standards
of leadership required.

which actually existed in Italy

Commenting on the present sit

per cent, or 10000 troops, of the
army of occupation are Negro sol
diers, McNarney said:
"The majority of our men are
young and new to the service.
Only recently have they been or
ganized and trained for their new
duties. These duties for the most
part are garrison and security du-
ties since we have no tactical mis-
sion. The efficient performance
of these duties requires the high
est standards of discipline and
training.
"I have recently said in an
earlier press statement that I be-
lieve there has been general i'm
provement along the line: Morale
is higher, crime lower, individual
conduct better and performance of
duty more efficient, over the per-
iod of the last few months"

Co-ops Help Break
Up Monopolies,
Saws Arnold

COLUMBUS, Ohio. - (CNS) - The
government antitrust laws can't do
the whole job of breaking up monop-
operatives-must be ready to step into
each new field of enterprise as it is
opened, Thurman Arnold, associate
justice, court of appeals for the Dis
trict of Columbia, told 1000 policy
holders, agents and visitors at the
annual meetings of the Farm Bureau
group of insurance companies meeting
here April 4.
Judge Arnold said that he felt Co.
operatives are the most promising in
situations for bringing real free enter
prise into those areas now dominated
by monopoly. The greatest value of
Cooperative enterprise is not the di-
rect saving from actual operations, but
the indirect value of policing profit
business to keep it from becoming
monopolistic, the former assistant at
torney general declared.
Cites III Effects of Monopolies
Judge Arnold pointed to several in
stances of monopolistic business prac-
tice in the fields of transportation,
finance and manufacturing and cited
their i'll effects on individual consum-
ers and on the economy in general.
Government" he declared, must
step in and break these log jams of
monopoly and open the way for free
competition. The highways to business
opportunity must be kept free if we
are to have prosperous and expand
ing economy"
In concluding, Judge Arnold ex-
pressed confidence that America will
retain free enterprise and the free
market, and that the nation will move
on to undreamed levels of plenty and
security.

Congress Asked To
Make Probe OF
Power Lobby

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(SpeciaD-
Cong. Charles R. Savage of the state
of Washington has called on congress
to institute an investigation of the
expenditures and of the corrupt prac-
tees of certain lobbying organizations
which have become menace to DEM
ocratic practices and a threat to ma
tional well-being" The congressman
names "so-called reclamation associa-
tions, state and national, National
Association of Electric companies and
United States chamber of commerce
and says they are now out to block
further development of our great ma
tural resources and are seeking to get
control of many of them"
In presenting his request for an in
vestigation and cleanup of power com
pany lobbyists, to the house, Congress
man Savage said:
Conspiring to Rob People of Wealth
Big money from power companies,
railroads, certain banking interests,
and other similar corporations is pour
ing into the Golfers of the three lob
bying organizations, and they are all
combining to rob the common people
of the benefits of our great wealth
of natural resources.
They tried for years to block the
development of Grand Coulee dam
and Bonneville dam in my state; they
fought George Norris efforts to get
the IVA started and now they are
centering their attention against the
Columbia Valley Authority legislation
A small group of men, led by a
former Insul company official is spear
heading the organization, financing the
operation of these three high-sound-
ing organizations; the reclamation as
ISOLATION, the National Association of
Electric companies, and the natural
resources committee of the United
States chamber of commerce. They
are tied together as tightly as two
peas in a pod in their plan to rock
the American people.
Would Repeat War steal
They do not want the government
to build dams, but if in spite of their
opposition the government has built
a dam, they are determined that they
will buy the power at the bus bar
They are determined to repeat their
Muscle Shoals steal. At Muscle Shoals,
the government built a dam during
World War /, and after the war these
power companies bought power at the
bus bar, paying the government less
than mills per kilowatt-hour = one
fifth of a cent And then they turned
around and sold that power to the
people of that area, and how much
did they charge? They forced the peo-
pie to pay 10 cents a kilowatt-hour
for that power right next to Wilson
dam, so times as much as it cost
them.
That is the kind of private enter
prise these lobbying organizations are
trying to perpetuate. They have a
strangle-hold on a good thing on
one of the necessities of life = cleo
tricity. They have a monopoly on it
and they are determined to ride that
to the limit for all it is
worth

Bunch of Charlie McCarthys
| personally should like to see the
list of contributors to the Missouri
Valley Development association Also
the contributors to the Columbia Basin
Protective % association, now more
happily named the Northwest Region
al Development association. I should
then have, I think, incontrovertible
proof for what is now only a good
bunch: that the anti-MVA and the anti
eva campaign managers and orators
are a bunch of Charlie McCarthys.
The trouble is that in most cases
we cannot-unless we are congress
sional committee-ge the list of con-
tributors. We can only guess.
Right now, however, there is one
situation right here in Montana that

prices for the last 25 years. With
wheat SURPRISES in Canada and the
United States-shipped out and eaten
by the starving souls in Europe and
Asia-those SURPRISES will not be a
heavy weight on wheat prices during
the period ahead.
100 Million Bushels Needed
If mass starvation is to be avoided
it is imperative that hundred mil
lion bushels of wheat be on it's way
to Europe and Asia within the next
80 days. Conservative estimates some
weeks back placed at 125 million
bushels, the amount of wheat in stor-
age on American farms More recent
estimates place storage figure for
North Dakota at IS million bushels,
and Montana at 80 million, with ma
tional surplus in storage at probably
well over $50 million bushels.
During March, BAT 900 tons of wheat
were shipped overseas, whereas there
was need for shipping of 100000
tons. Unless shipments can be pyra-
mided during the next month drastic
ration reductions for these millions
will be forced upon UNRRA. Such
further reductions now will mean that
relief will have to be continued for
another year. The people on any furth-
er reduced rations will be unable to
work in the fields or in the mines or
even in industry.

OBJ The second incident | wish to
point out is the one which took place
when the committees on education OF
the house and senate of the Montana
Legislature in its 1915 session called
a hearing on the teachers retirement
proposal
1t is interesting to note that the op.
position to teachers retirement,
which appeared at the hearing, was
made up of the following three per-
sons: Fred Bennion, secretary of the
Montana Taxpayers Association;
JoihCo vi dlidll, pleSltleHL Oh the Mon
tana Federation of Labor; and Miss
Mary McNelis, president of the Teach
ers' Union at Butte.
Miss Mary McNelis stated. however,
clearly that the Butte Teachers I'm.
ion would favor the teachers retire
ment plan as provided in lib. SIS if
the legislature could not provide $780,
600 for each of the two years and a
constitutional amendment to make the
teachers retirement system a consti-
tutional amendment.
Since the hearing was held. three
days after the deadline for introducing
bills, Mr.. Graham's proposal of a CON
stitutional amendment appeared to us
as sham and an attempt to destroy
teachers retirement in Montana.
