The Security Council runs the United
Nations. The other SIS members just
talk. The Security Council consists of
the United States, the Soviet Union,
Great Britain, Republic of France, and
the Island of Formosa (Chiangl Kai
Shek).
The Charter must be amended. India,
with 300 million people, must have a
seat on the Security Council; China,
500 million people, must get back it's
seat on the Security Council. The FL
Latin American members of the organi-
cation, but not of the Council, should
be allowed to elect member of the
Security Council. Indonesia, Indo China,
Burma, Pakistan Afghanistan, Thai
land, Japan, Philippines, should be al
lowed to elect member of the Coun-
Gil. Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania,
Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Greece, Albania,
Turkey should be allowed to elect a
member; Egypt, Iran, Trad, Arabia, with
all African nations, should be allowed
to elect member of the Council; Den
mark, Ireland Finland, Sweden, Nor
way, Belgium, Holland, should be al
lowed to choose a member of the, Sc
curity Council.
Frances membership should be di-
vided with Italy. When Franco dies,
Spain should get vote for a member.

Meat or Sport

1t is said that we have all kinds of
people in this world, and it seems to be
, true all right. The attitude of ex-Game
Warden Thomas o. Peasley and Mrs.
Theresa Berglund on the subject of
killing wild game animals, particularly
elk, is most astonishing.
Generally speaking, all livestock, wild
game included, increase in numbers
about 1907 each year. 1t takes feed
and forage to maintain them. Any cow
man who tried to carry over the winter
twice as any cattle as he had grass
and hay for, would be considered in
competent. Ordinarily he disposes of
the surplus as matter of good bust
ness and good judgment. The same rule
holds good for wild game and particu-
larly elk. If their numbers are not re-
duced each year to the carrying capac-
ity of the range, they all are liable to
Starve to death before spring comes.
What difference does it make whether
they are killed by hunters for sport
or by employees of packing plant for
profit. Instead of murder and extermi
nation of the animals, the Montana Fish
and Game Commission usually has to
extend the hunting season in order to
reduce the numbers and accomplish
the perpetuation of the species.
Fishermen don't fish for fish as much
as they fish for sport. On the average,
their fish cost them about $500 per
pound. Hunters don't hunt for meat,
they hunt for sport at an average
cost of more than S1.00 per pound. They
could of course buy their fish and
meat at the butcher shop and save a
lot of money.
1t is the hunting and fishing licenses
paid for by our sportsmen that main
tain our fish hatcheries, pay the sala-
ries of our Fish and Game Commission
Without them we probably would have
no game at, all.-E. J. PARKINSON,
Great Falls.

Clear Picture of
COP Depression

DONALDSON'S CROSSROADS,
pam employer advertised so la
borers' jobs and was showed under
by 1900 unemployed workers who
converged on this tiny town.
When the jobless learned that
most of the openings had been
filled elsewhere, the police advised
the hiring foreman to clear out of
town. He did.
The crowd tied up traffic for
blocks along busy thoroughbred
to Pittsburgh.
The foreman, John Kon, arrived
at his plant late, accompanied by
men he had hired earlier elsewhere.
The mob scene was touched off
by classified ads run by the Monog-
ahela Iron and Metal Co. in four
small newspapers in the area.
The firm said, "all we wanted
were so men to take up the rails
of an old trolley line"
The job hunters were unem-
ployed coal miners and industrial
workers. Some had had no work
for as long as 18 months.

These Were Not Communists

Two weeks ago the PEOPLES VOICE
pointed to the large number of people
who did not go to the polls Nov. 2.
If these vacation" voters were truly
they could remedy most of our woes.
If the same principle was applied to
all the states they could get rid of all
likes" kennel dogs who now are in
his cabinet and I could rejoice in their
every experience.
Too, they might be like the Idaho
man who had a stroke but was quickly
recovering. Next day a neighbor called
to see how he was feeling
"Oh, I'm feeling well. No pain, eatin'
an sleepin' well and drive to town to
fetch the groceries and attend church
But my mind is gone, and I do not miss
it much."-JOHN BARNARD, Poison.

BrownelI Anti Communist

To the Readers Forum:

(Here's hoping l don't get carried
away and trespass beyond the $50

Although being of the firm belief the
Communist party should be outlawed l
among many others believe the Brown
ell legislation passed in the S3rd Con-
gress goes beyond mere 'anti-Red''
movement and is in it's disguise an in
strument for future use against labor
unions, liberals, or anybody having a
tendency against the special interests"
groups debating their policies to the
reactionary stoOgeS in Congress.
Time and taxes could have been much
better spent in creating form of leg
islation to end this spell of hysteria,
intimidation and guilt by association"
cast by the Jenners and McCarthys.
So widespread is this "smog of ig-
norance" that recently, a friend raised
his eyebrows when L mentioned that
Walter Reuther had perhaps done more
in the past year to honestly combat
Communism than ten McCarthys could
achieve in ten years.
"Why, thought Reuther was Red!'
was the astonished reply.

The Hottest Spot On Earth,
From A Political
Point-of- View

The recent sinking of one of Kali
Shek'S cruisers in the Formosa strait
| by four Red torpedo boats goes to show
that Communist China intends to strike
back regardless of our Seventh fleet
standing back of Formosa's Nationalist
government. Ever since he was driven
out of the mainland, and landed on
Formosa, Kai-shek has, with u. S. aid,
harassed coastal shipping to such an
extent that England has been obliged
to send armed escort with the trading
vessels between Singapore and Hong
Kong, having to pass by the Formosa
island, which is now top-heavy with
military equipment, paid for by U. S.
taxpayers.
Like Singnam Rhee, whose hobby is
to take North Korea by force-of-arms,
Kai-Shek's is to do the same with
mainland China. While Rhee wisely
refrained from raiding coastal ship
ping, Kai-Shek did the very opposite
and turned his hobby into destroying
South China Sea shipping. Until recent
ly, he has had a field-day and it's been
like shooting sitting ducks.
With the military alliance of Russia
and China, the situation has been radi-
cally changed. The intricate defense
line on the Amur river, now but a mu-
scum piece, making the Chino Russia
defense-line pretty much like the one
between Canada and U. S. This shifts |
the Russian South defense border to
the South China Sea. Thus the shore
inc from Vladivostok to Hainan island |
in the China Sea becomes the most
critical in perimeter of more than
eight thousand miles to Leningrad on
he Baltic Sea. U. S. aid to Chang
may boomerang like it did
n China. without the U. S. military aid
here he might have lasted a year or
wo longer. It's likely that China or
Russia is building up Hainan island
nto a counterpart of Vladivostok, a
Mighty haven for submarines, ice-free
he year around. Sooner or later, our
eventh fleet may become deeply in
olved, which might erupt into the
cry thing which we all dread to see:

Democrats Have Little
To Crow About

The table, "Change in House Line
ups" on page of the PEOPLES VOICE.
of November 10Th offers an opportunit.
for the amateur political analyst t.
find out what really happened to TIL
Democrats after the votes were counted
last election day
Discounting the vote of the "SoliC
South" where a condition of feudalisti,
control exists, where except in some
large cities no semblance of free politi
cal choice is prevalent, the Democrats
were soundly beaten in nearly every
state.
Excluding such Bible Belt states as
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida Georgia
Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina
South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas
for a total of "a Democratic House
seats, the Democrats came up with
1S9 to the Republicans 1919.
This is an especially bad score for
the Northern Democrats, and whether
or not their principles were sound or
their purposes sincere, it is obvious
that most of the voters whom were
free to appraise them did not accept
either-in fact, Overwhelmingly re-
jected both.
OF course, by counting elected repre-
sentatives from the Southern consti-
tuencieS, the Democratic party stands
to organize both Houses and control
the Committees But, by an unfortunate
coincidence of seniority, most OF the
Chairmanships are to be filled by the
boys from the Bible Belt; the boys
whose peculiar economic and political
ideals, if they have any, are submerged
in the economic ignorance and social
prejudices of the past.
The pretense that the Southern repre-
sentatives in any way embrace the ac-
cepted political philosophy of the Ma
tional Democratic Committee, or the |
liberal platforms of any of the previous
Democratic National Conventions, is es-
sentially hypocritical if not an out
right fraud.
Maybe that is a good reason why the |
194S Democratic Administration failed |
to get to first base in carrying out |
it's pledges to repeal Taft-Hartley, |
or to provide sensible medical insur
ance plan that would be free from the |
predatory designs of the fast-buck
boys. Maybe that is the reason why |
other liberal legislation turned out to
be little more than idle dreaming.
With due recognition to the sincere |
and good intentions of many Democrats
Of high station, the unbridled truth |
fails to show that very much has been
in the way of the better
ife in recent years. And if the Demo-
ratio party really stands for what it
,retends, rather than any claim to a
nodicum of victory in the last cleo
ion, all it has to show is substantial
violence that it suffered a thorough
efeat-if not a complete rout.-JOHN
}. LUCKEY, Billings.

quit a job with Pan-American in
1916. Actually, he was fired for
falsely declaring on his employment

years in Alcatraz Prison in the mid
1920's for Communist activities while

He Had Faith In His Fellow Men
One Of the most vicious seeds Of
that sickness of the mind we call
Communism is the spreading Of
distlust among nations, among
people of different races and colors.
That distrust is part Of their stock
in trade. We read how distrust and
suspicion divide families, separate
husbands and wives, parents and
children. Children are used to spy
on their own fathers and mothers,
and report their political opinions
to leaders of the Communist party.
To those of us who read this, we
can only think what a monstrous
misuse of their God-given abilities.
How intolerable life would become
with an attitude like that toward
our fellow men.
Yet. | believe even here in
Christian America, we are some
times guilty of mistrusting people
too much. Some time age, here in

| would rather err on the side Of
, trusting too much, than to become
cynical and hard and trust no one.
1t seems to me our whole system
of Democracy is based on trust of
each other.
We Lutherans believe it is a
very important part of our Christ
ian creed and faith. Martin Luther
in his catechism explains it thus:
we should fear and love God. so
that we do not dcceitfully bctrav.
