Our information is that in the con-

there was considerable in the way

state oil lands. For instance a quote

that more than few people agree

He said the 1853 law gave the polio
ing of the state lands to the oil in
dustry and that the oil industry was
leaving the impression that the there
after" clause is the only one that
will develop the oil lands in Mon
tana.
Justice Anderson asked Olsen if he
denied he right of the legislature to
sell state oil lands.
Olsen agreed that the legislature
had the right to sell state lands.
However," said Olsen, "there will be
nothing left to determine when the
legislature fixes the price of an I'M
known quantity"
In answer to another question by
Justice Anderson, Olsen said he be-
ieved that the 1851 law (limiting
Royalties) was unconstitutional, but,
II am not trying the 1851 act. This
act 1883 puts them (the legisla-
ture) over the fence and out of the

say the intent is to liberalize the law,
so they liberalize-not in favor of
the school children. They have no
concern for the school children, they
are concerned with the profits of the
oil companies"
With reference to the arguments
that the state is not in a position to
deal like the Northern Pacific, Olsen
cited leases N. P. has that are much
better than the state and which could
easily be negotiated by he state if |

Said Olsen, "The oil companies

Justice Anderson then tried to pre-

which he and Olsen had oil lands and

US. TACTICS ARE
"SELF-DEFEATING"

What particularly disturbs the
| Canadian Government about these
tactics, says the STAR, "is that they
are not only self-defeating and play
right into the Kremlin's hands; they
also prevent the use of normal diplo-
matte channels to achieve important
International settlements which many
diplomats believe are possible if only
they are approached in the right way
and in the right atmosphere.
The Canadian Government be-
lieves that Russia does not really
want China in the U.N. as they
say Far Eastern experts agree en-
phatically that it has been a "card-
inal feature of Russian policy since
the success of the Chinese revolu-
ton to keep Red China out of the

satellite status"
Ottawa believes the Kremlin re-

sive support it receives "almost ev-

Concludes the Toronto Star:
"The diplomacy by headline ap-

made solution well-nigh impossible
even though many diplomats believe
Russia wants a mutually satisfactory
agreement on Germany and may be
prepared to withdraw her forces from
East Germany to Uat If
