those we'll up in years, for the most
part.
The more mature manner in which
Britain handles Communist Party
members in government positions was
of considerable interest. Instead of
firing them for disloyalty, and making
headline fodder out of the issue, the
British take a much more sensible
course. If there is reason to believe
a mans political beliefs are Com
munist, and he is employed in po-
sition of vital Importance to the Sc
curity of Great Britain, an extremely
thorough investigation follows. In
stead of being discharged, he is simp-
ly transferred into another division
or job which has no bearing on ma
tional security, and the nation con-
tinues to utilize his knowledge and
or know-hoW.
There is no such thing as loyal
ty oath in Britain Likewise, there
is complete intellectual and academ-
ic freedom. In such an atmosphere
all kinds of political PHILOSOPHERS
can be dispassionately discussed.
In Britain, such free discussion, ac-
cording to Prof. Hutchinson, has
not enhanced the selling of the
Communist doctrine. Britain has
the smallest Communist Party in all
of western Europe.

Anna Hedgeman Asks: "How
Do You Reach People ?"

Saturday nights banquet in the
Farmers Union hall, featured short
talks by DR.. Hutchinson and James
TIMBER, president of Montana State
Federation of Labor, and longer
address by Mrs. Anna Hedgeman,
assistant to Oscar Ewing of the
Federal Security Administration.
This was Mrs. Hedgeman's third
visit to Montana in the past year
and a half, and it is pretty safe to
say that Montana farmers and work
ers are sold on this very able, and
very humane woman.
Mrs. Hedgeman to some degree re-
viewed the Farmers Union Officers
School of the several days past, and
the first day of the institute. In a
word to the non-farmer folks in her
audience, she advised:
THE rest of us, and you union
people can learn something from
the farmers. Farm people, by vir-
tue of living on the land, have man
aged TO get some time to read-and
think :"
The one sad note she recorded was
the question put to her time and
again "How do you reach people?"
People don't come to meetings, do not
take an interest in public affairs.
Why? Having run into this time and
again, she set about to find the an
swer. She found: q. people don't
come to meetings - anywhere - in
trade unions, churches, women's clubs
one of the principal reasons
so few meetings are held which are
worth a persons time :" The re-
suit is that little leadership groups
carry on, and g. +. become givers of
and writer's of instruc-
tons :"
In her opinion, the answer lies in
on how to reach the
people. They are fearful, they need
courage Here in our United
States, fear rides. We must build
nope, must so inflame them that we
will all stride forward to greater
heights of democracy, well-being and
he dignity of the individual J.. :"

Drive On To Shift More of
Tax Burden From the Rich

Federal taxation was another panel
discussion led by Prof. Brady.
Some highlights of this panel were:
Federal taxes collected in 1915 were
1872 times greater than in 1892;
state taxes were up four-fold, and
local taxes, two hundred per cent.
Federal excise taxes, collected at the
source, while yielding the govern
ment So billion per year, increase re-
tail prices of items under such tax,
considerably more than just the
amount of tax, since all the way from
manufacturer through retailer, they
represent an added cost, and thus an
increased MAKEUP. The first state
sales tax was passed by Georgia in
1929. Since then, all except a few
states (Montana excluded) have
passed such retrogressive taxes, and
thus shifted more and more of the
tax burden onto those least able to

the rank-and-file did not vote to re-

economic letdown once the munitions
program tapers off. Many business
groups are not unaware of this, he
continued, quoting from a recent
issue of BUSINESS WEEK which
warned eff there should be truce
in Korea-and it is made to stick
it will be too bad . -
AS for price controls, DR.. Brady
contended that "OPS is not setting
prices-only ceilings ceilings that,
for the most part are above prices
Z. :" Taking note of the very weak
controls law enacted by the congress,
he said the economic stability of the
nation is further endangered by the
'pusillanimous administration of the
controls act' from Mike Disable on
down.
Further emphasizing the import of
big business control, the UCLA econ
omist asserted:
GO. People who have an inter-
est in democracy and in freedom
should view this as the most dam
gerous threat this country has ever
faced :. If we do not go into an
an all-out war, we will go into an
all-out regimented state :" if
such control is not removed from
our government.
Speaking of shortages of consum-
er goods, Brady was of the opinion
that such Shortages" are principal
ly press agent creation to further
enhance a sellers market" and thus
push price and profit levels upwards |
In substantiation, he called attention
to recent storm warnings voiced by
the WALL STREET JOURNAL that
despite huge military orders, the con-
goods market is so near a
point that major depres-
sion may be in the offing, Is months
to two years hence.
In industry after industry, he |
noted, plants are running below ca
pacity. In textiles, factories are only
40 to so per cent of capacity; out
put of the lumber industry, metal fab
ricating industry, and many others
are down-because of a slackening
market. Pin-pointing the cutbacks in
metals for the automobile industry,
and the very serious unemployment
problem in Detroit (approx. 125, 000),
ne contended that even without the
government cut backs of vital metals,
he auto field would be in the dol
lrums because already there are far
more new cars on the market than
he buying public can absorb today.

US. Stock-piling Is Hurting
West European Economies

Sunday mornings panel on "Inter-
national Relations" with emphasis on
Western Europe, led by Prof John
NJ. Hutchinson, UCLA political
science department and a member
OF the British Labour Party was as
equally interesting and informative
as the other three panels of the in
stitute.
Hutchinson reviewed the back
ground of pre- World War II Europe;
how Britain had lost one-fourth of
its wealth since 1889 and is no longer
the trading center of the world. Great
industrial progress and increased ag-
ricultural production have been made
the past few years in western Europe,
but unsettled international affairs,
low wages and high living costs are
keeping the economies of the various
western countries in chaotic condi-
ton. Slowness of land reform in Italy
has provided the means for the Com
munist Party in that country to be
proportionally the strongest one in
the west.
Another factor beyond the con-
troll of these countries is the huge
stock-piling of strategic materials
by the United States and the con-
sequent initiating of the prices of
raw materials so badly needed if
full economic recovery is to be
achieved in the western countries.
East-West European trade is abb
essential, Hutchinson said,
if the economies of western Europe
are to ever be restored to an even
keel.
One of the most alarming things
throughout western Europe is the |
lack of political enthusiasm among
young people for parliamentary de-
In Germany, for example,
youth is given little or no considera-
ton in the party circles of either
major party-the Social Democrats
Or the Christian Democrats while
1eo-Nazi groups, by appealing to
young people, are fast developing
nto strong forces to be reckoned
With. In France it is the Communists
md the DeGaullists who excite the
of youth. And, in Brit
lin, the Conservatives are fast be-
coming party of younger men, a
,arty of spirit, party to go out and

@: What is the candlepower of the
full Moon and of the Sun?

A: The Suns brightness in can
dlepoWer is about four billion bill
lion billion ii. e., four followed by
q zeros). Since the Sun is about
half million times as bright as
the full Moon, the latter would be
equivalent to about 5000 billion
billion candlepower.
@: What is the heaviest atom yet
discovered?
A: This is californian, whose
production by means of high ener-
gy particles from the cyclotron at
the University of California was
announced early in 1850. It's atom
is 244 times as heavy as the light
est atom of hydrogen, which is
the ightest known.
@: How far is the horizon, as seen
over the ocean by a person
standing at the waters edge?
A: Assuming his eyes are five
feet high, the horizon would be at
a distance of about three miles. At
ten feet, it would be about AZ
