EAGLES PLAN XMAS PARTY

At a regular meeting held this week, Douglas Aerie No. IF, F. O. E., decided to resume an old fraternal custom of sponsoring a Christmas party for youngsters 12 years of age and under. This age group is chosen because chil- dren of this age sometimes do not benefit with the many other treats at Christmas time, such as shows, etc. Plans include a Santa Claus, Christmas tree and treats, and is to be held indoors. Mark Jensen and Val Poor were appointed as committee to take care of the program, and they were to solicit any other civic group that might be interested in joining. Plans and date of the party will be an- nounced later.

1910
A seven year analysis of big game
hunting in the state shows that
resident hunting license sales have
jumped from 39,201 in 1899 to IA
25l in 1916, the department said.
These facts hold a great signi-
ficanse for the hunter of Montana,
the department declared. Most
immediate is the necessity to OBJ
tain as complete a record as possible
on each seasons kill In 1916 only
18 per cent of the hunters returned
the stub from their big game hunt
ing license, which indicates whether
they were successful in securing
their elk, deer, bear or goat
"Of those who did report, SO per
cent were successful with is per
cent reporting kills of both deer
and elk" the department said.
Emphasizing that with the increase
of hunters, it is neceEBary that
sportsmen assume some responsibility
in helping to keep track of how
many animals are harvested each
year"

will spend about $s5 million to finance the
tobacconaen who had been buying flue-cur'
ed tobacco for the British. For example
liz a buyer had 100000 lbs. in British
orders to place and had bought only 7,00O,-
900 lbs, CCC would finance the remaining
5000, 900 lbs. In effect, the plan made the
buyers agents for the Agriculture Depart
ment If the buyers cannot sell their tobac-
co, the Department will take it off their
hands.
GAS another prop under high prices, the
Department decided to set smaller market
ing quotas for next years crop. Less tobac-
co will keep prices where they are or
boost them higher. Said one Department Of
Agriculture expert:
well make a profit on every bit we
buy"
AS so often happens when a viewpoint
is one-sided, Time overlooks the conse-
ouences to the South's tobacco growers if
the portion of the crop still unsold when
Britain stopped buying had lacked federal
support. The effect would have been like
what happened when Scent cotton all but
bankrupted Dixie.

The United States frontier has
not receded in the years since
Americans discovered it to be
con the Rhine"
That historic phrase was not
a slogan of imperialism. Nor is
the American endeavor to hold
a line for freedom as far east
as the Greek and, Turkish bor-
ders an act of imperialism to-
day. It is an act of friendship
for people who cherish liber-
ties which Americans share and
who are linked with Americans
into a global system of defense
for those liberties.
But it is not an act of sheer
altruism. Western Europe is,
economically, politically and
strategically, an area of pro-
found concern for Americans.
Many Americans know this. But
too many still do not. Reports
based on interviews with hun
dreds of citizens in % states
indicate an increasing resist
ance to Europe's demands for
aid.
Even at the same time, how
ever, a Gallup poll reports that
about two thirds of those ques-
toned on United States policy
toward Russia consider it too
soft, if anything. A similar
cross section approves of Sec
retary Marshall's efforts to

Macarthur or Eisenhower

It is to be noted that General MacAr-
thur is creeping back into the news as a
potential republican presidential possibili-
ty. Although the General in effect has
twice declared in his precise way that he
does not choose to rum" there is no rea-
son to assume that he would refuse to be
drafted if sufficient pressure were applied.
It may be significant that in all probabil-
Iity he will return to the United States
during next May. Certainly no better time
could be selected, if he has any intention
of allowing his friends to present his name
at the party convention the following
month.
Should this be done-and it is obvious
that certain of his influential admirers
propose to do it-what about General
Eisenhower, who is also a potential repub'
lican candidate for the presidency? To be
sure, General Eisenhower has repeatedly de.
clared that he does not covet political pre-
ferment. But he has also carefully let it be
known that any man is privileged to change
his mind, thus leaving the way open for
drafting him.
Here are two outstanding military he
roes, either of whom would prove an ef-
ficient vote getter, but it is not to be sup
posed the republican leadership would risk
the consequences Of a convention floor
fight for either. And assuredly both are
astute enough to realize that they would
hurt their standing with the public by be-
ing a party to any such competition.
There is but one aspect of the republl-
can convention picture that seems fairly
clear this early, if one or the other should
| be brought forward This is that other
avowed and potential candidates would not
stand ghost of chance for the nomina-
ton, and probably would be reduced to
mastering their strength for the vice presi-
dental place on the ticket.

country. In 1943 and 1914, 40
per cent of American produc-
ton went to war. In the first
half of 1947, less than 10 per
cent has gone overseas.
The effect of this export pro-
gram on the average American
citizen has not been too tough.
Per capita consumption OF
meat, fruits and breakfast cere-
ais is higher now than before
or during the war. Consumption
| of milk, eggs, poultry, vege-
tables and wheat is not as high
as in wartime, but it is higher
than prewar.
Aid to Europe will exert some
upward pressure on prices, but
this pressure will be reduced in
succeeding years.
Three grave dangers are
pointed out. Some low income
families cannot n low afford to
buy enough to eat. High prices
will lead to demand for higher
wages. Higher prices will cut
down foreign purchasing power.
The problem is to prevent price
rises from spiraling into
further inflationary movement.
Some control will have to be
put over the uses of food and
steel. Wheat will have to be
confined to humans and not fed
to animals. Sending scrap iron
abroad, as requested by the Eu-
ropeans, is Illogical.
Bottlenecks in the production
and distribution of coal and
fertilizer will have to be broken.
Farm and industrial machinery
will have to be allocated to Eu-
rope to increase her production
and stop her demands on the
/ U. S. for food and materials.
The ERP is going to cost
Americans some money. Taxes
won't have to be any higher
than they are now, but they
can't be made any lower right
away if the budget is kept
balanced. The idea of paying
for European aid by borrowing
and increasing the national debt
is rejected.
On the question of repayment,
the Council Of Economic Ad-
visers does a little ducking. 1t
says there is now no way to
measure Europe's ability to re-
pay. But it indicates the advis-
ability of making part of the
aid an outright gift. Another
portion of the aid might be paid
for in the money of the receiv-
ling countries. What would be
done with that foreign currency
could be left to future settle
ment.
The failure to authorize any
aid programs at all would be
likely to spell industrial paraly-
sis for some countries. This

Within a few months, un-

are taken, the iron curtain will

The terror, now creeping under
ground, will be open and I'M

It seems incredible that a free

cept such a fate when there are
no Soviet troops in CZechoslova-

scars of national neurosis from
the experience of the last eight

saryk, is a paunchy man who
makes jokes. And since the last
election, the real control
has been in the hands of the
Communists led by Prime Min
lister Gottwald.
Long ago, the Commun-
lists made their preparations for
the event that is now occurring.
At the head of the army, they
lplaced General Svoboda, com.

Above all, the army's counter

under the domination of Com

The army is infiltrated and
neutralized. The Information
Ministry in overtly Communist
hands, is ready to blare propa-
ganda through Soviet-style loud
speakers in every town. Most de-
cisive of all, the Ministry Of the
Interior, headed by the Com
munist Nosek, has transformed
all branches of the national po-
lice into service organizations oi

The Creeping Terror

PRAGUE, Nov. 4. - In con.
trast to the rest of Europe, the
surface of life here is wonder.
fully bustling and. prosperous.
Prague's baroque palaces and
modern suburbs could still dc
with lick Of paint. But the
shops are full of goods. The
streets are jammed with traf-
fic. And the people are down
right fat.
Beneath this happy surface,
however, an ominous and tragic
fact is only hall con-
cealed. Czechoslovakia is in
the grip of a creeping terror.
Since the end of the war, this
has been a show place for op-
tirnists. It has been the place
where Communists ruled like
Democrats, where East and
West could meet without an in
tervening iron curtain, where hui
man freedom survived in the
shadow of Soviet power. That
