from a cows mouth.
Matt reined his bay down the
hill. Three more days now. His
watch said six o clock. Six o'clock
was the hour set for Harv's
execution. Six o'clock on the
18th! Inexorably they'd roll by,
those seventy-two hours. Matt
swore bitterly. There was a
justice in heaven, Polly Pollard
said. She said it couldn't happen
but it could. And it would!
In THE twilight of that same
August 10th Mike Yost rode
home from the nearest trading
center, Twin Buttes. He'd been
hanging around the Peso de Oro
bar all day, absorbing a hum of
speculation about Harv Pollard.
Nothing, the town said, could
save Harv now.
Yost himself was sure of it.
And it suited him exactly. For
one thing it would wash up the
Medina case. For another, it
would double Mike Yost's
chances of gaining his most avid
ambition, the Circle x. 1t lay
like a broad restraining hand
between Yost's place and the
mountain. 1t caught all the snow
run-off. 1t had timber on its
high side, broad level acres on
its low side, grass and water on
both. After Pollard's execution,
his widow would hardly try to
operate the place herself. She'd
always been delicate. Almost
certainly she'd move into town,
offering the Circle x for sale
or lease. And no one could afford
to bid as high for it as Yost.
He came to his line fence, dis
mounted and opened the gate.
Then he rehooked the gate and

rode on into his own pasture.
The leanness of the cows he saw
there made him scowl. You
couldn't market stuff like that.
Put them on the Circle x for
month and they'd begin to look
like something. But right now
you could count every rib.
He passed one of his two wind
mills. The tank by it was dry.
There'd been no wind today.
A dozen Box Cross yearlings
stood by the tank, hot and jaded.
Yost cursed them and the tank
and the breezeless weather. How
could you expect stuff to put
on flesh when you short-rationed
it on water?
He rode on to his house and
brooded all through supper. En-
viously he considered the Circle
x. Nobody was there now except
a kid. There ought to be some
way to take advantage of it.
How? Cutting the fence and
driving his own herd in wouldn't
be worth the risk. That kid would
just run them out again. And
if he got tough with the kid,
later it would bring Tom Wyatt
and his men agunning.
1T WAS while rummaging
through trash in a table drawer,
looking for his pipe, that an idea
hit Yost. His eye fell on an old,
dried muskrat skin. Once he'd
trapped the muskrat, meaning
to market the skin when he got
more to put with it. But he'd
failed to get any more and this
one had spoiled. He stared at it
narrowly, then his head nodded
slowly. The idea jelled and grew
to a decision.
Pocketing the skin, he went
out and saddled a horse. Then
he took a spade and rode to-

seen with our own eyes how the ag-
gressors lost that power when they
abused 1t to further their selfish
ends. But we have also witnessed
how free peoples grow in power and
strength when they rise against the
insolence Of the warmongers and the
lust of the greedy.
What enhances the formidable In
dustrial, economic and military
might Of this Nation is, above all,
that 1t Is not at the disposal of a
personal ruler, as in the domain of
Alexander, the Rome of the Caesars,
the empire Of the Hapsburgs, or the
France of Napoleon, but is controlled
by a Government as conceived by
Abraham Lincoln-a Government of
the people, by the people, for the

Shows Will To Peace.
Yours Is country that abides by
the policy of the Good Neighbor.
I believe that policy to be the truest
expression of the will for peace in
this hemisphere. And believe like
wise that all of us should now, more
than ever, implement that policy
with performance in the economic
and cultural fields.
Amity between governments is
short lived, unless it be the outcome
OF a genuine desire of their people
to cooperate. Were we to limit the
efficacy of good neighborliness to the
covenants to safeguard the theoreti-
cal equality of all States, the respect
OF territorial integrity, the principle
OF intervention, as we1l as the
joint defense of the Continent, we
would still be defrauding some of
the most cherished hopes of our
peoples.
The fact that nearly 100000, 900
people live side by side in our hem
isphere involves not only juridical
problems and not alone problems 81

the political solutions,--an perhaps
much more than in the political
solutions-those millions are con-
cerned not only with assistance to
ward off foreign aggression, but also
with common efforts to overcome
the dangers Of poverty and despair
in the difficult years of the peace.
The true significance of good
neighborliness is cooperation. 1t

that bind us together. It surpasses
the scope Of diplomacy. It goes be-

TouchStone Of Solidarity.
Let our own hearts be the bull
wark to resist all attacks against
our hemisphere. But let us in
defatigably work to impress upon
those hearts that they must throb
more and more in unison with the
sincerity Of our friendship, to make
that friendship living reality.
We are all responsible for adding
to the policy of the Good Neighbor
an economy of the Good Neighbor
and q culture Of the Good Neighbor.
Whatver Mexico and the United
States achieve In this respect will
profit our two countries. But it viii
also benefit all the Americas, for the
boundary between the United States
and Mexico still Is a touchstone for
hemispheric solidarity.
Boundaries are what the peoples
that define them and defend them
wish them to be. Sometimes they
are barriers not to be srlrmounted,
between nations that neither un-
derstand for forgive each other. But
boundaries like ours also provide
close contacts between countries
seeking progress in friendship, un-
der the rule Of justice.
We are part OF hemisphere
where the concurrent action Of all is
indispensable. Mexico has honored
its every duty without ever forget
ting any of its rights. Without waiv-
ing any OF its rights, Mexico will
continue to fulfill every duty.
We place q like trust in your
country.

And it is here where can most
properly stress the significance of
that trust, for under this dome
solemn pledges have been made for
the unity of the Americas and the
brotherhood of man. It was here
where President Truman stated
that "in this shrinking world, 1t Is
futile to seek safety behind geo.
graphical barriers" and that real
security will be found only in law
and in justice"
And it was here also where Presi-
dent Roosevelt announced that he
would dedicate this Nation to the
policy of the Good Neighbor, the
neighbor who respects his obliga-
tions and respects the sanctity of
his agreements in and with a
world of neighbors."
We live in a region Of the earth

Bill Exempiing Press
From Monopoly Law
Opposed al Hearing
BY N. As,o<;aisd Press

sRobert Lasch, Chicago Sun edi-

sfy Subcommittee today legislation
Specifying that news services and
newspapers are not subject to the
Sherman antitrust law would "open
the gates for real threat to free
dom" of the press.
The legislation, introduced by Rep
resentative Mason, Republican, of
Illinois as an aftermath of the Su-
preme Court decision in the Justice
Department suit against the Associ-
ated Press, was supported yesterday
by spokesman for more than 800
newspapers as necessary to con-
tinued free competition.
The Supreme Court directed the
Associated Press to change its by
Jaws which permitted members to
consider the competitive effect of an
application for membership.
! Denies Ruling Impaired Freedom.
|. In a statement prepared for the
subcommittee, Mr.. Lasch contend
ed the courts decision did not i'm
pair the freedom OF any papers and
did not injure the competitive posi-
tion of any news agency.
But freedom can be threatened
by private monopoly as well as by
government" he said. "It can be
threatened by regulation of pri-
yate monopoly"
Newspapers, he continued, Should
be subject to the same antitrust
laws which affect business general
y" and they "are now subject to
those laws"
!. Enactment Of the Mason bill
you'd remove that condition, Mr..
Iasch claimed, and would encour-
age similar exemptions in other
nelds."
: "The newspaper is nevertheless
business, and as such cannot legi-
timately claim exemption from the
antitrust laws so long as those laws
DO not impair its freedom to print
and discuss" he added.
What is the purpose of this bill,
II not to give agencies discretion
to limit competition If they choose?"
Mr.. Lasch asked.
Describing the growth and pres
tige Of the Associated Press, Mr..
Lasch cited this as an example of
what A. P. service means:
"Tfe disaster at New London,
Tex, in which scores of children
lost their lives in a school explosion,
occurred in one-paper town, that
paper being an A. P. member. The
result was that A. P. papers all
