The Pope's New Year
Message

This encyclical was not headl1ned IN
big type in any Montana paper that
read. The Pontiff condemned the
French Chamber of Deputies for voting
to re-arm Germany. He also advised
peaceful co-existence" between the
western Powers and the Communist
Nations.
Though / am not a. Roman Catholic,
vet. as there are 400 million people in
the world who are members of that
church, | think the Pope's broadcasted
message was the most important event
in world affairs since Japan surrend-
cred.
There are abiding truths that treach
erous elderly prime ministers, and
weary, wandering war mongering sec
retaries of state cannot completely
Danish from world thought and hope
Congress may grind taxes from the
workers, and waste it in preparation
for war against peace-desiring coun-
tries. Congress can disobey, but Con-
gress cannot repeal the Commandment,
Thou shalt do no murder"
Congress aDpropriates many millions
to educate spies, and send them and
propaganda agents into Communist
countries No vouchers are required
as to where this money goes. Legisla-
tors have been bought in Montana
Al small, very small, part of our
HrGSS oppose rear NfCA A1ietiiSS 49,
none suggest what may be a simple
answer to the puzzle, why the French
Assembly changed front in 10 days
Bribery with our tax money?
Since the Pope's Encyclical; can
man be a consistent Catholic and
consistent member of the American
Legion?
Can Cardinal Spellman now back
McCarthyism?
Can an old lady be sent to jail for
three years as a subversive because
she advocates peaceful co-existence"
Four hundred million Catholics in the
world should. if consistent, advocate
peaceful co-existence".
Should Knowland resign as Senator
from Formosa?
Is Senator Mansfield for re-arming
Germany? Or for peaceful co-ex1st-
ence"? The Pope hewed to the line, but
lots of chips must fall in unexpected
places-LOWNDES MAURY, Butte.

to inspect public writings; a project
agreement executed by the Commits
sion and the Federal Fish and Wild

Why Do People Oppose
Federal School Aid?

Mr.. ID. ID. Cooper,
Sec'y of Mont. Education Association,
Helena, Montana.
Dear Mr.. Cooper:
Two years ago I wrote to you sug-
costing method of getting immediate
action concerning the desperate situa-
ton in our public schools. / suggested
then that the teachers throughout the
nation go on a strike to bring TINS
business to head and to prevent the
sta1ling which we have seen so much
of via study commissions" You adj
vised against such action at that time
expressing the hope that conditions
could be improved by bringing the
plight of the schools to public attention
by way of press and radio and by the ef-
forts Of all the teachers. | admire yoar
qualities of optimism, but / question
the results especially when the time
for dilly- dallying is past and the time
for action long overdue.
Last night, wrote to Senator Muir
ray asking that he give serious conSla-
GRAFTON to two proposals that ! have
made in which / believe immediate
action can take place without another
National Conference on Education
which has taken several years to study
situation already well known to the
educators and many politicians.
An appalling thing to me is WAY in
the world do so many people oppose
federal aid to education. / would like
to know why you passively oppose It!
Don't you agree with me that the
teachers have enough integrity to pre-
vent a usurpation of so-called states
rights? Don't you also agree that the
backlog of education in this country
requires it? Don't you agree further
that unless we get aid in the amount
of billions of dollars that we are fast
approaching the unfullfilled dream of
the Tom Sawyer's of NO TEACHERS
AND NO SCHOOLS?
I believe that what we need in edu-
cation circles are men and women who
are fighters like Miss Mary Condor,
and not a group of people who are
forever posing academic questions in
capable of solution or qualification.
Sincerely yours.-KEITH b. HAMlL-
TON, Elko, New.

ToTALITARIAN GOVERNMENT?

Totalitarian, "Of or pertaining to
a highly national socialistic state, OF
the philosophy of its government,
headed by political party whose
control is omnipotent and absolute. "
Has Montana's Governor gone be-
hind the "Iron Curtain" and taken
his Fish and Game Commission wit,
him?
During the past year the Montana
Fish and Game Commission, "with
the approval of the Governor, has
expended thousands of dollars of
taxpayers money for lands in Lake
County. They say under authority
of Section 26-1124 Montana statute.
Section 26-1124 provides for Co
operative agreement between the
Fish and Game Commission and Fed
eral Fish and Wildlife Service, De-
partment Interior, for "wildlife res
toration project.
Montana citizens have asked, de-
manded, from the Commission, also
the Governor, copy of the Project
Agreement" they have refused to
provide.
Let us briefly review Montana's
statutes and Constitution: Section

Are We Building Up For A
Showdown In the Far East?

Since the Yangtze river pirates were
liquidated the South China Sea has
only been traversed by Chinese Junks
and coastal trading ships until quite
recently when Russian made torpedo
boats and Migs have made their APP
pearance That is not wholly correct
as Kai-shek has been constantly raid
ing the channel as well as the emma
coast on the theory that he is still at
war with China. The immediate fight
ing now is over the possession of the
islands lying between Formosa and the
China coast Here is where we may
come in on a big scale. We have our
18th fleet, the Worlds largest, located
there Furthermore, some OF the At
lantic boats have been transferred TO
the Pacific fleet, which may have some
Significance.
our strategic planners have a ten
dency to strangle China trade with
one hand and solicit more trade with
the other. Evidently they think the
Moscow-P eiping military alliance is but
a scrap of paper and don't understands
where Kabaresk comes into the pic
ture at ALL To indulge Kai-shek in
Piracy of the Sea and arming Japan
NAV be a risky business. We armed
japan once with scrap-iron and other
tools of destruction, never suspectlng
to see it returned in Pearl Harbor

Favors Bounty System
Editor, PEOPLES VOICE,


Helena, Montana.
I approve of the views on predator
control as expressed in the VOICE OF
January 7th under caption Montana
Wildlife.
Many years ago I homesteaded IN
Phillips County. One winter day a
coyote came near our house. | quickly
went inside, got my rifle and with luck
killed it with the first shot | skinned
out the hide and had barely enough
money to send it to fur dealer IN
Kansas City, Missouri. There was great
rejoicing when their check arrived.
1t was the most money we had had for
quite some time and was great help
in bringing us through the winter
The following spring found coyote
den with four pups. The wife and | dug
them out, this gave US some more
money and with it we bought our small
girl a much needed pair of shoes
do not understand why any one
would advocate the repeal of the bounty
system which is paid to the needy
people of the state.
Federal poisoning should be punish
able by statute. Very truly yours

SENATE GROUP REJECTS
COFFEE TRADING CURBS

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Coffee futures trading shouldn't be
controlled by the government, an out
going Senate subcommittee decided
January 4.
Three Republicans. Glenn Beall
(R-Md.). Prescott Bush (R-Conn.) /,
and Frederick G. Payne (R-Me. -
said they opposed giving Commodity
Exchange Authority any power over
coffee trading. They noted that Fed
eral Trade Commission is still nego-
tiating with the New York Coffee q
Sugar Exchange and that cooperation
between coffee-producing countries
and the u. S. is better.
Senator Paul FL. Douglas (D-lH.)
disagreed. He said coffee is one of
the few commodities not under con-
troll. II see no reason to exempt it"
Many suspicious circumstances"
were connected with 1953-54 coffee
price increases, he said. eve should
not allow the U. S. consumer to be
gouged by foreign cartels."
Douglas said he'd introduce a blli

CEA control.

a bill to increase their marketing quo
tas. At least two senators from sugar
producing states, Allen j. Ellender,
Sr. (D.La), and Henry c. Dworshak
(R-Idaho), may introduce bills call
ing for higher cane and beet quotas,
respectively.
The domestic industry groups want
to keep the tightly controlled system
of marketing quotas limiting OUTPUT,
subsidies to domestic growers, exc'r e
taxes and curbs on sugar imports, as
provided under the Sugar Act of
1913 and 1851 amendments. They
maintain this system is needed to
prevent price chaos in the industry.
Behind the drive for higher domes-
tic quotas are two major producer
groups, the United States Beet Sugar
Association and the American Cane
Sugar League of the United States.
Under the 1851 law, the annual quo
ia for domestic beets is fixed at l.
100000 tons, and that for domestic
cane at 100000 tons. Quotas for an
other three million-odd tons are
shared by Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the
Virgin Isles and the Philippines.
The quota for Cuba, however, is
fixed at SO per cent of all remaining
sugar marketed under the act. With
the total for 1866 fixed at 80 million
tons, this formula gives Cuba more
than 30 million tons, or more than
domestic cane and beet quotas COM
bined.
"We're going to fight hard to see
that domestic growers get fair cut
of any increase in consumption caused
by expanding population, says Rob-
ert H. Shields, president of the Unit

Domestic cane and beet sugar pro-

Together, the three groups supply 60

1854 Steel Production
Shows Heavy Decline

NEW YORK-(LDNS)-The ma
TONS steel industry could count sew
en- years when production exceeded
the 1854 level, the American Iron
and Steel Institute revealed here.
In tbs preliminary monthly report
+be Institute said that 1854 steel pro-
duction totalled 88,305,579 net tons,
for the eighth best year on record.
December output was the highest
for the year with the highest pro
duction level since November 1898,
the Institute said.
During 1854 steel furnaces oper-
atod at an average of II per cent
of capacity, considerably less than
the average for the previous year.

ed States Beet Sugar Association.
Many beet growers have supported a
boost of 100000 tons in their quota,
while cane growers have requested a
0,000-ton rise.
Both groups argue that strong,
expanding domestic sugar industry is
needed to meet any possible emer-
gency needs. They are planning ex-
tensive campaigns to back up their
proposals when Congress considers
the act.
So far, however, the public relations
initiative is held by the United States
Cuban Sugar Council. Its officials
are informing voters that any in
crease of "heavily-subsidized domes-
tic output at the expense of lower
cost Cuban production (much of
which is United States controlled)
would be "short-sighted in the ex-
treme."
ROTARY TO ROTARY
Experience has proved that Cuban
sugar is the major protection of Unit
ed States consumers against short
ages during emergency" according
to Sherlock Davis, general counsel of
the group. Spokesman also stress that
increased United States exports to
vital to farms and factories
across the nation-largely depend on
the market for Cuban sugar in this
country.
Council officials are contracting
editors and other opinion leaders in
the United States to get these argu-
ments across. They have mailed to
county farm agents official bulletins
stressing Cuba's Importance as mar
ket for farm products. Letters in a
similar vein are being mailed from
the Havana Rotary Club to Rotary
Clubs in this country.
Some other offshore areas supply
ing sugar to the United States would
like to increase their sales, but they
lack lobbying strength and are more
or less on the sidelines in the present
struggle Hawaii, however, hasn't
asked for any change in its 1,052,000-
ton allotment.
Domestic refiners are split on the
question of increasing quotas for do
nestle growers, because of varying
opinions on the effect such a step
might have on prices. But on this
point all segments of the industry are
trying to reach compromise with
the domestic growers.
Industrial users, represented by
Gordon Pickett Peyton, chairman of
the industrial sugar users group, will
fight for more sugar at lower
prices" Peyton's group is currently
considering plan under which sugar
prices would be allowed to seek their
own levels, with growers receiving
direct subsidies.
In this growing controversy, all
sides agree on one thing: Early ac-
ton by Congress is needed to assure
consumers of stable, continuing sugar
supplies.
