REPORT FROM CHINA

(By Leonard Allen)
 In these closing weeks of 1948 thick gloom hangs this ancient walled capital of China The enemy is at the gates It is very cold and what fuel there is must be kept primarily for cooking Food has been flying up the spiral of dizzy nation often out of reach of hungry hands, There have been rice riots. Rumors sweep through the dusty crowded streets like the chill ing blasts of the north wind.
 Eight years of war against Japan, followed by three years of conflict against Sovieaided Chinese revolu- onists have drained the energy and hope of the peo ple They tired. hungry, and cold Now there is an atmosphere of defeat quite different from the spirited hopefulness of the years in Chungkng Confidence nethe ability of the present regime to China has, at times, nearly run out.

 From this Nankng outpost the prospects are not bright Militarily politically economically-barring a radical change-the bag seems to be about empty.
 But is there another factor not yet adequately eva uated and applied?
 AS background to that question: 1t is important to understand what the stakes in this theological Tn Asia Communism IS bidding for the allegiance and domination of the two billion people who inhabt the earth and the bid is directed from Moscow Mai Tse- tung Chinese communist leader, in article in the Cominform Journal in Bucharest, makes it plain how his movement fits into that picture Half the people of the world happen to live here in Asia and China is the key If China goes then Japan Korea and the Phil ippines will be in grave danger.

 The West is inclined to count industrial strength as the determining factor And certainly World War II reinforced this belief But the Sovets and the awaken ing nations of the East have discovered tremendous power in the mobilized masses not too we'll understood in the West.

 Right now, in this bid, the Soviets are winning. Not only in military here in Chnaand by progress sve insurrecton elsewhere-but also by more polling philosophy and program than the West has yet presented Western production figures may appeal to European imagination, but land reform promises the things that figure with the farming of Asia And on that point the communists scoring bulls eyes in China, Burma, and elsewhere.
 Also the Sovies succeeding in stirring up fam ing hatred in Asia Hate in the heart of Asias multi-i lions would be titanic force terrible weapon. And here is the ronc factor in Western industrial might: the of atomic power against Asia would only multi ply the hate
 What new factor then is there in this whole picture, which offers better hope of a new world?
 Some, knowing that hatred breeds on empty stom- achs and idle hands, advocate Marshall Plan for Asia Food clothing machinery and financial and other aid would be big factor if they not delayed too long, and they in sufficient quantity Already pret ty late, especially in China.

 Increasingly there have been numbers of statesmen from India China, Burma, Japan and Indonesia who lave found in Moral Re-Armament working theology for democracy which has given them fresh hope for change in the West and therefore hope for the East Writing in the popular British periodical Every body's" in November, Dr. Chen Li-fu vico-nrcoi'~~ the Chinese Parliament, says that through Moral R Armament he has become convinced that the most ef- tective answer to communism is the moral force of su ,erior theology which is the basis of democracy" Dr Chen describes MIRA "the meeting place of East and West After seeing the effect of this theology in dealn with Brtains coal problem in the Rhondda Valley wtr Americas problem of achieving industrial teamwor> and with political tangles in Italy and Germany, Dr Chen writes: It gave me new hope for China"

TRANSNIISSIONS

The engine, with its fabrication
and cooling, and the carburetion
and ignition systems, functions as a
unit to produce power, and is com
monty known as the power plant.
In addition, a mechanism is neces-
sary to transmith the power pro-
duced by the power plant to the
wheels of the vehicle in order that
they, rotating, may push the car
along the road. This mechanism is
known as a transmission. Its pur-
pose is to engage and disengage the
engine from the wheels. This is
done by means Of a clutch and a
series of gears.
The clutch is the part of the
transmission that causes the power
to be given to the drive shaft The
purpose of the gears are to control
the amount of power that the drive
shaft has. The lower the gear the
faster your engine turns, and the
hotter it gets The higher the gear
the more economical it is to run.
The greatest economical investment
that you can make is in good SER

IN THE OPEN

At long last, some of the pro
ponents of a completely socialiZed
electric industry seems to be com
ing into the open, and dropping
such worn and shabby bits of cam
'ouflage as flood control, irrigation
and the rest. One of the frankest
statements was recently made at the
dedication of a dam in Montana, by
Michael w. Strauss, Commissioner
of the Bureau of Reclamation.
"Your government is definitely en-
tering the low-cost production
field" he said. And it plans to
make all the power from here
to the Pacific Ocean available to its
citizens over transmission lines
which they own
That is certainly unequivocal.
And if it is proper for the govern
ment to establish a Socialized cleo
trical monopoly in the Far West,
it is equally proper for it to do
the same thing everywhere else.
Then. if such a monopoly ever is
created, the government will dom
mate all the enterprise of America.

ed out. with commendable frank
ness, Those who control energy,

MONTANA'S THIRD LARGEST
INDUSTRY is TOURIST
TRADE, SAYS MAXEY

"A preliminary estimate OF Mon
ianas third largest industry the
travel business, shows that the num-
Der of cars checked through Mon
tana's Port of Entry stations was
about 1870 greater than last year,
Rad Maxey, State Advertising Di-
rector, Helena. announced today.
Approximately l,775,28 Montana
guests spent almost $55, 000 900 in
the Treasure State.
This is the first year, MaXey
said. that Montana has advertised
its recreational advantages by a
State financed program. Approx
mately 1879 of the visitors stated
they came to Montana because of
advertising. From this figure, it
can be deducted that those 1870
who came to Montana because of
the advertising, added to the States
Golfers more than $4,000 in gaso-
line tax alone For all tourists, the
gasoline tax fund was increased by
more than $1,000,000 1t must be
remembered that this amount is a
net gain, as none of it is refundable
because of non-highway use.
MOntanas record this year was
a good one MaXey concluded.
Everyone who commented, stated
that Montana's hospitality was Won
derful; that the food and accommo-
dations were in the main good with
reasonable prices; that the Port of
Entry stations and attendants were
a definite asset to the State and a
welcome change from the Port of
Entry stations encountered in other
States Montanans are to be COM
plimented. But the travel business
can be increased to an ever greater
industry if every MOntanan will take
it on to himself to induce the visitor
to stay little longer and see a
little more There is not one single
area in the State that hasn't some
thing to attract the visitor The To-
cal people should make a determined
effort to acquaint the tourist with
these points of interest, for the
travel industry is a net industry
in that it takes nothing away from
the State, yet brings millions of dol
lars to Montanans each year"

for Better Sleep Brighter Mornings
try THIS ToNlGHTI

AS every mother knows-the time you need
energy the most is first thing in the morning.
If you're tired, listless, low-it's struggle to
get the family up and going without one cross
or bitter word!
So if you haven't been waking up energetic
and cheerful lately why don't you try this? Just
drink cup of hot Ovaltine as regular bedtime
habit.
It's not new idea! Thousands do it to pro-
mote more restful sleep-the kind of natural
drugless sleep that lets you wake up fresh and
buoyant. -
And while you sleep, Ovaltine gives you food
specially processed for easy digestion-to
build up vigor and energy for the morning.
Plus a bonus of vitamins and minerals for
keener vitality.
So why not start drinking Ovaltine at bed
time-not just once in a while, but every night!
See if it doesn't make a happy change. It's not
habit forming-but good habit to form.
