This lack of publicity in the Butte

strange, but there's a reason Way
back last April when Butte was torn
by difference of opinion between the
Miners and the ACM, the president of
the association was caught behind

of the association decided he should
be president no longer. Naturally,

DR.. Leo SZilard, one of the men
most concerned with the beginnings
of the atomic bomb, urged America
today to undertake Crusade" in be-
half of a world community which can
effectively control the bomb.
"The problem which faces the world
today can be solved only by the Amer

Chicago nuclear physicist in st. Paul.
"And it can be solved by them only
if they understand their own position
in the world and if theygive their gov

leadership for the creation of a world

DR.. Szilard was in the Twin Cities
to address a National Farmers Union
officers and leaders conference in st.
Paul March 7.
He also was be interviewed over
WTCN at 9:15 pm, in a program
sponsored by the Minnesota United

The decision which the people OF
the United States face is not so much
what amount of sovereignty they are
willing to give up in favor of a world
government, he asserted in an inter-
view.

McDuffie was director of the Board
of Economic Activities in the Middle
East during the war; he was director
of the Foreign Economic Administra-
tons work in Europe Immediately
following the war. He headed the
UNRRA mission to the Ukraine last
year. Formerly a member of Sullivan
and Cromwell, John Foster Dulles
law firm, he is now on leave from
the State department.
McDuffie painted the situation in
the Ukraine as extremely severe as
result of the war and a drouth.
With the termination of UNRRA in
June, 1917 he said that he believed
the average daily ration of people
there would not exceed the figures

The food situation is so bad, he
said that when the Ukraine was al
located $189, 100000 of UNRRA aid for
relief and rehabilitation goods, the
Ukraine officials spent $100,000000 of
it for food, chiefly fats and oils.
McDuffie said that his mission had
complete freedom to observe, talk
with people and move about, visiting
factories, collective farms, schools,
orphanages and other institutions.
McDuffie deplored forthcoming
book by John Fisher-a Book of the
Month Club selection-entitled 'Why
They Behave Like Russians" and said
that members of the mission regretted
the publication of book at this time
by the man with the least experience
in the Soviet of the 26 members of
two missions Further, he said that
Fisher did not distinguish adequately
between what he observed and what
was hearsay.
