Congress re-convened after It's holl-
day recess, on January IA, but neither
Senator Wheeler nor Representative
D'Ewart were there Wheeler was re-
ported over the radio, as being in Bill
ings on January %, for the purpose
of addressing a meeting of several
hundred businessmen. OF course, this
Iabsenteeism on Wheeler's part, is not
unusual Last July, congress recessed
until October but emergency condi-
lions arising out of the sudden ending
of the war with Japan, made it neces-
sary for President Truman to call
upon congress to cut its vacation
short and return to Washington on
September 5. How did Wheeler re-
spond to this emergency call? On
September s, an A.P. dispatch report
ed him talking about Communism"
to Havre audience, and concluded
by saying: 1.-THE senator is to wind
up a tour of the state with a talk at
Miles City Monday, (the tenth. He
plans to return to Washington next
week" On that date he was reported
to have addressed a meeting of stock
men. Unless he went by plane, he
was more than a week late getting on
the job for which he is paid. While
on his most recent trip home" the
senator, in addition to the business
mems meeting in Billings, attended a
meeting of dairymen in Helena and
the Montana Woolgrower's convention
at Great Falls. Judging from the radio
Wheeler attacked OPA charged

before, we do we'll to consider the
character of Thomas Jefferson as an
American citizen of the world
AS minister to France, then as our
first secretary of state, and as our
third president, Jefferson was instru-
mental in the establishment of the
United States as a vital factor in in
ternational affairs.
1t was he who first sent our navy
into far-distant waters to defend our
rights. And the PRONUNCIATION of the
Monroe Doctrine was the logical de-
velopment of Jefferson's far-seeing for
eign policy.
Today this nation. which Jefferson
helped so greatly to build, is playing
a tremendous part il the battle for
the rights of man all over the world
Today we are part of the vast allied
force-a force composed of flesh and
blood and steel and spirit-which is
today destroying the makers of war,
the breeders of hatred, in Europe and
in Asia
In Jefferson's time our navy consist
ed of only a handful of frigates-but
that tiny. navy taught nations across
the Atlantic that piracy in the Medi-
terranean-acts of aggression against
peaceful commerce and the enslave-
ment of their crews-was one of those
things which, among neighbors, simp-
ly was not done.
Today we have learned in the agony
of war that great power involves great
responsibility Today we can no more
escape the consequences of German
and Japanese aggression than could
we avoid the consequences of attacks
by the Barbary Corsairs a century and
a half before.
We, as Americans, do not choose to
deny our responsibility.
Nor do we intend to abandon our

be given to all, if given to one group,
and must come from tax money"
Speaking of the butter shortage, the
senator declared that much American
butter has been sent to foreign con-
sumers," some of whom didn't know
what it was and never would have
missed tin some cases the people
used it for hair oil" If any group
of people, whether businessmen or
common laborers, ever listened to silli-
er poppycock, I would like to know
who spoke it. There are 13O-odd mil
lions Of us who do not produce milk
or butter; there are many millions
who find it hard to pay even the pres
ent prices; and there are millions of
babies and small children who cannot
get milk sufficient for their needs, at
any price But why bother about un.
dernourished children? They do not
vote, and all too many of their parents
neglect to do so. Butterfat is selling

At their Great Falls meeting on
January IS, Senator Wheeler is report
ed to have said in effect, that only con-
gress could prevent departmental
"crackpots" and "so-called diplomats"
in Washington from selling the wool
growers down the river" He is
further quoted as saying that Great
Britain positively intends to dispose
of billions of pounds of wool on the
world market Get that statement,
of pounds). Perhaps the
senator does not know it; but Great
Britain does not produce single
pound of wool for export 1t is true,
or was recently, that Britain has large
quantities of wool stored in the United
States but for safe-keeping only.
Doesn't the senator know that before
Great Britain secured permission to
store her wool here, she was obliged
to sign an agreement to the effect that
not a pound would be offered for sale
on the American market? If he
doesn't, it is time he informed himself
before further spouting on the subject.

Thomas jefferson, himself a distin

"brotherly spirit of science, which

Today, science has brought all the
different quarters of the globe so
close together that it is impossible
to isolate them one from another
Today we are faced with the pre-
eminent fact that, if civilization is to
survive, we must cultivate the science

Prejudice thrives on ignorance. Mi
nority groups often seem strang and
their habits inexplicable to the pre-
dominant elements in any society. Ac.
ceptance, cooperation, and mutual ac-
tivities between minority groups and
dominant groups requires more real
knowledge and real understanding
than is ordinarily available. The
search for this knowledge and for
understanding which will put aside
prejudice and develop constructive re-
lationship is very sincere and real in
American life. A number of recent
books, seriously written, bear evidence
of this search for understanding.
The Association Press New York;
has published number of volumes
under the title of Creative PERSONAL
ties" Volume VI is the most recent
one. 1t is entitled distinguished
American Jews. Eight different writ.
ers have contributed and it is signifi.
cant that each of these eight is a
Christian teacher, minister, or author.
Twelve distinguished Americans with
background of Jewish blood and
Jewish religion are portrayed, and the
solid contributions which these men
and women have made to American
life is very clear. Their talent, their
genius, their social insight, and their
personal character are all described.
There is no minimizing of the strug-
gle that each of them had against
or by contrast, of the wealth
of recognition that has come to them
in American life with their success
in their own fields.

One way of understanding Senator
B. K. Wheeler-in case one feels I'M
der any such compulsion-is to keep
in mind that this gentleman thinks
he is representing Montana on the
floor of the senate, in the pages of
the Chicago Tribune, and in the good
graces of Gerald L. K. Smith and com.
within a year or so he will discover
just how wrong he is-or right. But
his public statements avow his indy
ing affection for this state, whose best
interests he is doing his interminable
best to promote.
A case in point is his speech re-
Gently to the Montana Woolgrowers
association.
Montana's outstanding Democrat

American producers. What Montana
woolgrower would be opposed to that
proposition? Or sugar-beet growers?
Or cattle raiser? Or other Montana
producer?

walled the presence in Washington of
"crackpots" Who are these crack
pots? Not senators by any chance?
Oh no. Perhaps congress in general.
The senator said he was sorry about
congress. A great many Montanans
could approve that statement too =
even those who are sorry about the
senator. But Wheeler meant by
"crackpots" diplomats" and bureau
Gratis" These are the men who are
running American industry! The Re-
publicans have been telling us this
for years-since 1882 in fact. What
Montana Republican would rush to
the stand and deny that Washington
crackpots are running the country?
Montana's outstanding Democrat
took occasion to slug it out with the
British. This self-appointed Paul Re-
we're has been riding this hobby-horse
for number of years, raising hue
and cry about the British. What Irish
man in Montana would in defense of
Britain challenge the senator to a de-
bate on this subject. What Montanan,
in fact, would like nice scape-goat
to blame would contradict the sena-
tor?
