BY JEROME G. LOCKE

Invitations are out for a conclave to be
held in Butte on October Is and 16. Mon
tana Chamber of Commerce is the sponsor
and "please join u.s. bids have gone to promi-
nent educators, farm group officials and
labor leaders, in addition to business con-
Germs in general. The Secretary of U. S.
Department of Commerce in Washington has
been urged to send one of his top ranking
assistants out to sit in the meeting and act
as an advisor.
The purpose of the Butte meeting is simple,
direct and unconcealed. The gentlemen who
direct commercial business in Montana want
to forthwith convert the state into a vast
combine of arsenal, strategic stock pile, train
ing grounds and jump-off place for World
War I'LL This at Uncle Sammys direct-ex-
pense to the tune of hundreds of millions
of dollars 1t is the hope, we presume, that
most of this will naturally gravitate to the
Golfers of the industrial ownership that pur-
poses and fosters the scheme.
The whole conception is no two-bit project
Large and widely dispersed stock piles of
scarce minerals; underground caverns to
store reserve and unused planes; maintenance
organizations, equipment and crews to reha-
bilitate and keep in trim the Alcan highway
from Great Falls to Alaska; vast air bases,

State of the Philippines
(New York Timesl

Amid the cnaos that envelops most of Asia the Philippine Republic stands island of comparative security and order It with justfable pride that President Roxas reports that state of the Philippine nation to the First Congress, which is meeting in it's third session in Manila. That the United States had some part in making such optimistic report possible should make it pleasant reading also for Americans
 In great area of the world where imitation has almost destroyed the meaning of most paper rencies the peso is steady at two for American dollar. and there is black market Where other countries have not begun to erase the of war. the people of the Philippines planning and building for Except for few rowing bands of Hukbaahaps-w which movement has largely lost it's political significance the Philippines are peaceful Issues are settled the ballot box not the hills with rifles
 The Philippines still experienced an unlavorable balance of trade last year-exports of $1468l8925, against imports of $3s4 4s1 for the ten months through October-but exports with hardly any thus far of sugar which was the largest pre-war export were increasing faster than imports. The large volume of the latter was accounted by the necessity of repairing war damage and by government programs of industrialization The unfavorable trade balance more than offset by United States payment of war damage claims of which $500000000 worth were paid in l945-46 and s3790O0,000 more are scheduled for settlement this year.
 President Roxas faces the future realistically, He asking the Filipino Congress for increased taxes on automobiles and certain other luxury items, both to increase government income and to conserve dollar balances. He IS proceeding too, with land reform Many of the measures he proposed are unpopular among large groups of Flipnos but, as the President pointed out energetic measures are necessary II the republic is to grow as well to from the war Were some critical items such hydroeectric equip ment readily available, the Philippines might make an even more rapid recovery than they are making now
 It will be a long and often difficult road for the Filipnos from the old agraranism to the ndustraliza tI1atr to be the best hope for stable future. The Fipinos seem determined to follow it, however With continued American sympathy and cooperation the goal should be attainabe

PENALTY FOR MARRIAGE

Although Congress didn't plan it that way, the present income tax laws work out in such way as to encourage divorce, in scme income brackets And that is surely matter to be corrected. Citing the hypothetical case of wel-to-do individual the United states News shows just how this curious qurk of the tax laws can serve an anti-social policy
 man with s-OOO0 year income lives apart from his wife without divorce. He pays her sl00o0 year. by agreement He cannot deduct that for tax purposes so he pays the full income, and pays about half in taxes-s24.795. He has sl5205 left to live
 If he divorces his wife as any tax expert could properly recommend, he pay her $15000 year alimony, deduct it for tax purposes, and pay only s152s1 tax Thus he has sl9,7l9 left to live on. Out of the same annual income he alots his former wife s5OOl more and still has more actual income for himself
 Manifestly tax laws which work out in this fashion are in need of revision. And the revision would be simple For already, in the 12 community property States, the income of family can be di- vided equally between husband and wife. In those States, can stay married and get the tax bene-
The Daily Alaska empire., 1948-02-17

divorce
 It would be the part of common sense and justice for Congress to equalize the tax laws for all the 4S States by extension of the community property principle The total revenue involved is not great and this change in the tax laws could be adopted without reference to any of the controversial proposals for reduction, which entail revenue losses of sev- eral billions of dollars.

Soviet pressure for a U.S.-British second front across the English Channel finally resulted in a sec ret conference on Manitoulin Is- Ial.d i'll Lake huron. Roosevelt visited the island on an alleged fishing trip, where he was joined by Churchill and later by Molotov wno Jew ia Siberia and Alaska to the island
 Mo.otov was extremely bitter. He complained that Allied delay in establishing second front meant the loss of thousands of Russ an lives. The Red Army had suffered terrific punishment at

AT TEMPT TO CARVE UP EUROPE

In these talks, Russia had pro- posed that she be given one-half or PoAnd. To this the Nazis agreed. It was also proposed that Russia take over Iran and have free access to the Indian Ocean through the Gulf of Persia. To this the Nazis also agreed
 Hitler, in turn, wanted to keep Bulgaria, Yugosl;yia, Greece and Hungary as part of the German Empire. To this the Russians agreed.
 However, the conversations broke down on the age-old question of the Dardanelles and Turkey. For more than century Russia has demanded an outlet to the sea through the Dardanelles. And in the secret talks Of 1943, the So- viets repeated this traditional de- mand Of the Czars.
 Hitler, however, refused. Appar- ently he wanted Germany to reign supreme over the entire Mediter- ranean. He wanted no Russian influence in Turkey.

HULL FLIES TO MOSCOW

In Moscow. Hull and Eden suc- ceeded in smoothing Russian feel ings-to some extent. However, Stalin wanted a firm commitment not, only as to when the second front would start, but also as to what territory Russia would get af- ter the war-especially in regard to Poland and the Balkans. He was worried about the Atlantic Charters protection of the rights Of small nations and didn't want to be bound by it. Therefore, Hull and Eden agreed that a meeting Of Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill would shortly be held to decide these problems.
 This was what led to the Big Three meeting at Teheran.
 At Teheran Stalin finally got an agreement regarding the second front-though not until after a ough battle with Churchill. Churchill at first argued that the lace for the second front was hrou h the Balkans, the back
 or to Europe, which he claimed 'ou,d be easier military territory for an invasion. Probably Churchill lso had in mind the fact that U.S.-British armies would then be n the Balkans and would ,keep the Russian Army out.
 But Stalin, probably thinking of xac ly the same thing, and want ng the Red Army in the Bal 1ans, argued that the shortest oute to Berlin was straight
 lcss the English Channel.
 Churchill then countered wi h a eccnd alternative, namely a land ng on the Mediterranean coast of France and thence up the Rhone Valley to Germany.
 Again Stalin was adamant. He wanted the English Channel oper- ation or nothing.
 
 Finally, Roosevelt, upon the ad- vice of General Marshall, sided with Stalin. The United States was looking at the second front not from a political viewpoint, but nly as a means of winning the war quickly.
 At Teheran, it was also agreed hat Russia would be given free land in Bulgaria, Rumania and part of Yugoslavia (which was nore than Hitler was willing to ive). Great Britain in turn was ge' a sphere of influence in Greece and the Dalmatian coast of Yugoslavia Finally, it was at Teheran that Stalin persuaded Roosevelt and Churchill that the man for them to back in Yugo- slavia was Tito, not his Chetnik rival, Mihailovitch.
 The latter decision has been re- gretted almost ever since. But it should be remembered that Roose- welt and Churchill knew of the sc.et attempts to make spearate Soviet-Nazi peace and were worried
