contracted at home.
Why Are We Sticking Our Nose
Into Korea?
Yes, there's quite evidently "some
thing going on" over in Korea, al
tho just what it is seems difficult for
the layman to discover. At this dis
lance and from a purely prejudiced
standpoint it appears to be a civil
war between the north and south
Koreans in which Uncle Sam is mix
ing to support a government or adj
ministration which from all accounts
doesn't even have the support of
majority of the Korean themselves.
Then WHY, if we are sincere in our
protestations of democracy, (f r
which again we made the world "safe"
back in 1919 are we sticking our
neck out and our nose into some
thing that does not Immediately eff
feet us? A situation which should CON
Germ only the Koreans themselves? |
If democracy means anything at all
it means that the majority should
rule, with all due consideration given |
to the rights of the minority, so why |
shouldn't we pull our nose out and |
our neck in and let the Koreans set
tie their own affairs, peaceably if
they can or forcibly if they must?
..Ooal1ootiny, Of hic.
tory is not at fault, we had civil
war in these United States some nine
ty years ago and | seem to recall that
we raised particular hob with Great
Britain at that time for sticking her
nose" into something we regarded as
none of her affair (See The Alabama
Claims). Why then, should we pur-
sue a similar course in Korea to that
which we opposed, and made expen
sive for England some ninety years
ago? Were we ninety years behind
the times then or does it just make
a difference whose OK is gored," or
do we have to learn everything the
hard way.
to Save Capitalism
To get down to cold hard facts
it appears to me that our old CAPT
talist, profit system, the great Ameri-
can "way of life" is heading for a
grand and glorious "BUST" and its
devotees welcome war or an ex-
cuse, however flimsy, for any war
which will give the dying "God
Profit" a little longer longer lease
On life.

nay disapprove of their methods or
dislike their system, have to some APP !
oreciable extent eliminated the item

judging from past actions you will hear soap box
orator proclaiming to the world that the Montana
Power built Hoover Dam, Bonneville Dam, Hungry
Horse Dam, Canyon Ferry Dam and all the transmits
sion lines carrying the juice from these lines to

in making that rash statement they are in claiming
that they the who induced the Victor Chemi-
cal Company to engage in the manufacture of phos-
phate in Montana
One thing We be assured of is the fact that
Montana entering into unprecedented of pros
perity with the coming of this cheap power We must
also remember that the Montana Power Company is
using every resource at their command to control this
power produced at taxpayers expense. They wish to
buy this power for nothing and sell it at the top of
the market.
At present they fighting to have the approp-
ration made for the Havre-Shelby transmission line
rescinded they want to build this line themselves
thereby controlling the electrical energy produced
If they successful in gaining control of the Havre
Shelby transmission line, Montana's idea of a rosy
future will vanish the Montana Power Company
will never produce power to be sold at fair price.
If to give credit to anyone for the con-
structon of these dams and transmission lines, let's
give it to whom it really belongs Senator Murray and
Cong Mansfield and not to the Montana Power Co.

other industry having been assured that they can

will employ over 1000 workmen but will expand as

is just what is needed to make Montana a state we
all be proud of. To date the Montana Power Com
pany has made claims about being the sponsors of
