A Storm Blows Over

The fight which once loomed so threaten
ingly over the question of the Presidents power
to send troops to Europe without Senate approval
"a needless and untimely quarrel if ever there
was one-seems to have just about run its course.
At both ends of Pennsylvania avenue a spirit
of reasonableness is beginning to assert itself,
and there is increasing reason to believe that
the real interests of the Nation will not be
sacrificed in a pointless battle.
On Tuesday the Senate is scheduled to act
on Senator Wherry's resolution, which proclaims
the sense of the Senate to be that no American
ground forces should be sent to Europe for the
purposes of the North Atlantic Treaty until
Congress has adopted policy with respect to
the matter The intent of this is to restrain
the President from sending troops to Europe
in advance of an actual Russian attack. There
is every prospect that this resolution will be
referred to an appropriate committee, and that
it will die quiet death there. In The Stars
opinion, this would be the proper way to dispose
of the Wherry resolution. Leaving aside the
arguments as to the Presidents constitutional
powers, it would be unwise in the existing inter-
national situation to take any action that might
tie our hands and foreclose timely action to
meet the threat of aggression In Europe.
The next item on the prospective agenda
trip to the capitals of the North Atlantic Pact
nations If he advises Congress that the Pact
nations are resolved to fight in their own defense,
and that they are ready to make appropriate
preparations to that end the next step would
be to consider the form of suitable Senate action
concurring in the dispatch of additional troops
to Europe.
There should not be any great difficulty
about this For reasons set out by Senator
Douglas in his excellent statement to the Senate
last Monday, there is need for action by the
Senate. Among these reasons is the fact that
Secretary of State Acheson, when the Atlantic
Pact was up for ratification, gave what many
Senators, including Senator Douglas, regarded
as a categorical pledge that this country was
not expected to send a substantial number OF
troops to Western Europe prior to an actual
attack There is a possibiity-no one really
knows-that the Pact might not have been
ratified without that assurance. In any event,
the pledge was given, and the administration
certainly would be guilty of bad faith If now 1t
were to take the position that troops in any
numbers can be sent to Europe without regard
to the wishes of the Congress.
The real question here is not whether the
President. in this matter has the constitutional
power to do as he pleases. The question is
whether in this time of great danger to the
country. the President and the Senate will have
the wisdom to take together step that serves
the security of the Nation and the free world.
The indications are that this will be done. The
storm which threatened us a few days ago seems
to have blown over, and that is something to be
marked up on the credit side of the ledger.

Optimistic About Man


A grievous fault in human nature is
the failure to see beyond the apparent
horizon. Most of us think in terms Of
today, tomorrow or 10 years from now,
and make mistakes accordingly. There
are few who elevate themselves to a
height from which they can scan the
vast panorama of history.
Today, the attitude of too many is
negative pessimism. We have sunk into
the morass of cynicism and self-pity.
Our thoughts are too much upon our
serves and our time. We seem to forget
that there have been other people and
other times, and that there always will
be other people and other times. We
are convinced that our time will ex-
perience Armageddon and the annihila-
tion of mankind.
To defeat this diseased attitude of
utter despair, recommend that we re-
member the other difficult times in mans
history Recalling the trials of other
ages, we should become happier and
more optimistic race.
Man supposedly has been going to
the dogs since the dawn of creation.
yet. oddly enough, he has done sur
prisingly we'll. I doubt that he ever
will destroy himself, and am sure he
always will improve.

Letters to The Star

several equals to DR.. johnson in this
world. but never another Boswell. In
time to come it generally may be agreed
that the middle of the nineteenth
century had no peer to one of the
twentieth century-like Faulkner, for
example.
No. we have plenty of literary talent
today and as much of it can be classi-
fled as genius as could the so-called
genius of hundred years ago. The
question is: Have we as many literate
readers commensurate with our increase
in population? Or: Have we the critics
capable of recognizing genius when it
appears?
The answer. of course. is negative.
No age ever has. But this does not
mean that the literary genius is not
there: only that all of it is not discovered
or. if discovered, unrecognized as such.

Sometimes the family lives in town
the year around, the farmer COM
muting to the farm. Sometimes the
family moves to the farm when the
children are not in school.
Sometimes the family sends the
children to town to live during school
months, sometimes accompanied by
the mother, sometimes not. Which
ever the solution tried, either costs
to the family are greater, the unity
of the family is broken up for part
of the year or the children are with
out parental guidance during their
most formative years.
Who Gets Farm?
The second of these unsolved prob
to do with the orderly passing of our
farms and ranches to the new gen
Grafton and finding and financing OPP
portunities for our rural youth.
When there is more than one child in
the family who wants to farm, or
when there are none, just how do
you pass the place on?
What arrangements will permit
the old people to retire with security
of income for their old age while not
burdening the young farmer beyond
the limits of a reasonable chance to
be successful? How do you keep
peace among all the children? Many
Montana rural families are wonder
ing.
And what should be done to make
opportunity for Montana farm
youth? There are more youth grow
ing up than there are existing farms
and ranches for them. Even for those
who can find farms, lot of money
capital is required to get started.
Where shall it come from?
Shall we develop more irrigation
at public expense as place for more
farms? Shall we develop public
sources of low cost credit? Shall we
rely on people of means to buy the
farms and put young farmers on
them as renters or managers? Or
what is the answer?
Shall we educate all our rura,
youth to be farmers, or shall we
educate an increasing proportion Of
them for non-farm occupations? The
answers to these questions are
neither easy nor obvious

AT earlier times during the last s.

The Montana farmer knows vastl

KNSWCA SW
A LOS ANGELES business man
- named his dog, Tootsie, in his
will as his sole heir because she was
''my best and most faithful friend"
After his death a judge set the will
aside and decreed that the estate of
$4,000 should be distributed among
a sister, a nephew and two nieces.
This may or may not be justice.
After all the deceased knew his rela-
tives-and Tootsie-better than His
Honor did.
The inscrutabIe Chinese refuse
TO fight war accordin' to the estab-
lished custom. When you expect
them TO retreat. they charge. And
when all signs point TO an attack
in force they suddenly pack up
their tents like the Arabs and ST.
lentlY steal away" Just matter
of savin' face no doubt.
Protein Pete says the way of the
soil conservationist is hard. When
grain prices are high he can't afford
not to plant wheat. And when prices
go down he's too poor to buy grass
seed.
Years ago in Montana hog grow
ers in the eastern part of the state
used TO grow the kind of corn that
carried its ears about on a level
with the intake of Duroc Jersey
pig. But the modern hogs don't
care how high the ears are. They
expect TO have the feed brought TO
them anyway.
Which reminds me of the visitor
down south who was criticizin' the
razor back hogs they were GROWTH
there until one of the farmers ex-
planned the situation by sayin' "son,
in the hog business depends on
raisin' the kind of hawg that kin
beat hungry niger to the swamp"
While it's SNOWFALL weather in
Montana it's the height of the dude

HOSES and the kiotes. This season
they scare each other
Summer Fallow Sam was half way
to town with load of wheat one day
shortly before the first of the year
when he heard the news indicatin'
that the acreage allotment was goin'
to be lifted early in Isl. He figured
if the government felt that way
about the supply situation maybe
the grain was worth more than dol
lars in the bank. So he turned around
and went back to his place and put
the wheat back in the bin. The next
day he read news story outlinin'
plans for another increase in the in
come tax. After thinkin' things over
he filled the truck up with wheat
once more and took it to town. He
says these days a fellow doesn't
know whether he's comm or goin'.
Horse sense is still the scarcesf
