A program which could be used to

1. Unions, community groups and
mass organizations should unite to
win free time on the existing radio
systems, locally and nationally, to pur-

2. A campaign should be organized

propagandists off the air and influence
station owners and managers toward
improvement of radio programs and
services.
Best bet for unions that want to
get into FIN is to set up co-operatives
on a non-profft basis able to raise
$4,000 and even more by sale of
stocks and from donations. Such a
group would have to be prepared to
operate on these funds for two or
more years until its radio audience
has grown and its sale of commercial
time has reached the scope to pay
operating costs and make profits to
reinvest in equipment and to expand
programming.

Little needs to be said about the de-

pital at Warm Springs. The over
crowded conditions are inexcusable.

committed to our institutions should
be properly taken care of in quarters
that are adequate.
At the present time many old peo-
pie are placed in the hospital who are
not insane and forced to live in con-
ditions that are enough to drive any
sane person mad 1t certainly should
not be necessary to house all these
people in the same overcrowded
quarters.
The people of Montana can afford
to take care of our unfortunate peo-
pie and if it means bonding ourselves
to do it, then lets take on this added
burden and cheerfully.

Back Wallace's
Appeal

New York. -(FP)- Business and

Commerce Henry Wallace's appeal for
peaceful relations with Soviet Russia
here September II.
The business Endorsement, first to
come from the ranks of employers,
was issued by the New Council of
American Business Inc, group of
independent businessmen who have
attracted attention by their fight for
the retention of price controls.
In message to President Truman,
they unanimously declared: eve
heartily indorse Secretary Wallace's
appeal for peaceful trade relations
with our wartime allies, Big Three
unity and extension of loans"
At the same time the Greater New
York CLIO Council reminded Truman
that "the American people repudiated
the Vandenberg-Dewey policies on
foreign affairs in the 1914 elections"
'The overwhelming majority of
Americans will support you whole
heartedly against the war-minded re-
dictionaries" the council said, urging
Truman to abandon the "get tough
with Russia" policy.

facing the people Of the United
States today :"
There can be no question but that
price control is one of the most inn
portant issues of the day-upon its
success or failure hangs not only the
prosperity of our people, but also our
success or failure in the field of in
ternational relations. Good times in
America build for more stable econo-
mics in other nations just as period
of depression here tends to bring on a
similar condition elsewhere-and-as
an aftermath, SOW the seeds for ex-
IRENE nationalism and fascism
Montana democratic leaders should
cease attempting to make their price
control plank mean "all things to all
people, and take the cue from their
national committee that price control
is the most important issue of the 1916
campain. The national committee
statement follows:
A FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE
In few other issues of this cam
paign does the fundamental difference
between the democratic party and the
republican party come to a focus as it
does in the question of price control.
This is as 1t should be, for price con-
troll is one of the most important is
sues facing the people of the United
States today. The decisions which we
make today on price control will affect
our economy for the next decade or
more.
We have in our grasp the opportun-
ity to enter the greatest period of pros
perity this country has ever known
This means prosperity for all our peo-
ple-not for just a favored few. 1t
means a better standard of living for
workers, for farmers, and for the self
employed. 1t means production such
as was never dreamed of before the
war. 1t means full employment.
The realization of these goals de-
ponds principally on two things-there
must not be disastrous postwar in
fIation, and there must be a continued
high volume of production. The democ-
ratio administration has established
program which is designed to
achieve these two detectives. The prin-
cipal tools of that program are inte-
grated fiscal and budgetary measures,
and a firm price control policy.
Republican Opposition
The republicans agree that produc-
ton, and more production, is the ans
wer to today's economic problems.

The report takes the position that
an adequate transportation system at
the lowest possible cost is essential TO
national prosperity. Present laws and
procedures before the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission and state commits
sions do not provide an adequate
remedy for these conditions.
Rates Not Equalzed
The assertion is made in the report
that the decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission on class rates
in the east, south and west did not
in fact equaliZe rates, or provide eff
fective relief for the future. But it did
"afford a striking example of rate in
CAPABILITIES approved by the commission
itself, and the difficulties of obtaining

The carload rates fixed by the COM
mission, says the report, average over
100 percent above cost. On the greater
part Of the traffic, "even cost of trans
portation by motor truck would be
substantially cheaper than the pre-
scribed carload rates"
Upon the National Transportation
Authority, which would consist of not
more than three members, would de-
volve the duty of continuous study
of the transportation needs of the
country. 1t would be empowered to OBJ
tain the cooperation of all agencies of
government. carriers, shippers, and
the general public in the furtherance
of sound national transportation
system. 1t would present to regulatory
bodies information bearing on the pub
lie interest in transportation ques-
tons, and would submit information
and reports, with recommendation to
the president and to congress as to
