Preservation Or determination?

Association or were controlled by it
Another Fifth Column of imposing
dignity consists of pretended sports
mems associations which call them
selves conservationists but are ac-
tually destructionists. The so-called
Absaroka Conservation Committee is
an example. Headed by wealthy
livestock operator who also was a
Congressman Wesley D'Ewart) ,
this group pretended that the sports
men of Montana were in favor of the
slaughter of Yellowstone elk by the
thousands, instead of transportation
That lie was nailed-but with diff
Guilty, chiefly because the National
Park Service refused to give the.
facts for public discussion, or even
to authorize a hearing where the
facts could be discussed. The "Absa-
roka Conservation Committee" was
and is not a committee at all. A COM
mittee represents larger body. No
body of conservationists ever gave
any credentials to this outfit to rep
resent them. The same individual
who was chairman of the Commit
tee" has now been appointed an
Assistant Secretary of the Interior,
bringing an angry protest from
Montana Senator that the appoint
ment "spells disaster for the public
domain"
The prisoners may be mentioned
as another Fifth Column. Sportsmen
like to shoot vermin during closed |
game seasons, and their activity is

agencies of state and government |

The dwindling wildlife of Mon
tana resembles the American arm,
on Bataan in 1942-holding a des
perately defended line, but sur
rounded by overwhelming enemy
strength, and compelled to meet ev
cry device of warfare, foul or fair
The struggle is part of the every.
day program of entrenched wealth OF
relatively few, against the common
citizen-sportsma for ownership
and control of the resources of Mon
tana. 1t will go on so long as there
is an acre of public land left which
is free for sportsmen to enter upon
under present laws. The struggle is
unequal. An illustration is the fact
that the livestock lobby in the Ma
tional Congress has far more effect
on legislation than the 100000
sportsmen who bought licenses in
1854.
The enemies of wildlife fight foul
as well as fair. An illustration is the
propaganda resolution passed by the
Montana Stockgrowers in May, 1868,
asserting that variety of cattle dis
eases originated in wildlife and for
that reason elk should be extermi-
mated it is we'll known that
the contrary is true. For example,
it is established that the deer of
California became infected with foot
and-mouth disease from domestic
sheep and cattle. For another ex-
ample, it is known that bighorn |
sheep contracted scab from domestic |
sheep in many areas, and completely |
died out from the effects.
The army of enemies of wildlife
also has its fifth column word |
celebrated from the time of the |
Spanish Civil War. This fifth column
in the struggle of wildlife for sur
vival consists of elements in the gov
ernmental groups, state and nation
al, which are charged by law with
the duty of conserving wildlife, such
as the State Game Commission, the
National Park Service and the For
est Service. The means by which
,hese elements are taken over by
anti-conservationists are hidden, but
he fact is clear from their actions.
70 illustrate, when the false and
-icious resolution was passed con-
erning alleged cattle disease COM
ng from the elk herds, the state and !
ederal agencies were called upon to {
all the lie, and all of them either
vaded the question Or were silent. /

u. N. Day

"To unite strength maintain international
and security =. :" Behind these words is the
hard-eaned lesson of history that collective action
the best guarantee against threats to peace
ITO employ international machinery for the promo
ton of the economic and social advancement of all
peoples :" Here is aim that reaches work
aday lives in industry and agriculture, trade and
merce, health and housing, labor and education
and in all these aspects of living the United Nations
record has proved how effectively progress be
quickened by sharing experience and meeting problems
together.
FOR WORLD PEACE
AS we look back its first ten years,
many ways in which the United Nations has worked
for these aims with constructive results, despite many
disappointments and setbacks.
United Nations methods of mediation and conclia-
ton arrested fighting in Palestine, Kashmr and Indo
nesa. In Indonesia, peaceful solution reached
and other cases. the efforts to achieve lasting settle
mens continue despite difficulties Frontier supervision
by United Nations observers helped speed pacfication
of Greeces northern borders In Korea United Nations
forces repealed aggressionthe first instance of col
ectve military action undertaken at the behest
international organization When fighting stopped,
United Nations agencies in Korea and Palestine rushed
relief and aid.
FOR PROGRESS
Under the technical assistance program of the
United Nations and the specialized agencies, pool of
the sklls of many nations is available to countries on
request to assist development of their natural
and economies. This pattern of mutual aid has helped
to the gap between the advanced and the less
developed countries-to the benefit of both.
Millions of children are alive thanks to the milk
and food, and protection against TB, dphtheria and
malaria, provided by United Nations agencies like
UNICEF and the World Health Organization.
WE ARE THE UNITED NATIONS
Thus, the United Nations, as the world realizes more
and more, is not just gassand-steel skyscraper in
New York, nor just series of meetings round
ference table, simply of documents and
studies These part-but only part of the whole
picture.
The whole is composite of many things and all
peoples; the children and those who work give them
health and better opportunity in fe the illiterates
and those aiding them to larger life through know
edge; the hungry and those finding ways to grow
more food; refugees and those who aid them; the
staeless and those who work to give them protection
and the soldier who stands guard while the United
Nations strives to prevent war; the military observer
who with weapon but his United Nations
arm-band in the maintenance of truce Above ALL it
a better chance to work and live in peace.
This tenth anniversary we, the peoples of the
United Nations, still procaim

The United Nations will be ten years old the oath
! of this month
This anniversary is time for recalling that the
United Nations created in response age-old
longing and that it is anchored common sense idea
which will stand the test of time
The longing is mans aspiration for world of peace
justice and brotherhood; and the idea is simply that
nations and peoples must work together to achieve their
common purposes
The longing has not been realized but neither will
it be denied The idea like other basic of society,"
love OF family, love of country certain ethical and
religious beliefs is only emphasized by every inter
national discord and conflict.
Like these other ideas which moulded civilization
the idea of organized cooperation is not
only true to spiritual concepts of the brotherhood
man, but is indispensable for human progress; per-
haps for sheer survival
AIMS, PURPOSES AND METHODS
The Charter adopted unanimously at the San Fran
cisco Conference be summed up briefly as guide
to action for better world This guide the Charter
spells out in detail, for modern society is complex
thing, web of activities and relationships between
individuals and between nations.
The Charter sets forth in its Preamble general
declaration of high intenton it defines purposes and
principles which make up a code of conduct between
nations; and it describes the machinery needed-the
different organs of the United Nations-for their
achievement
10 spur the international lawmakers at San Fran
cisco in their task there was in 1915, the vivid and
terrifying actuality of globa war; to encourage them
there the imminence of victory made possible by
joint sacrifice and effort
STAND TEST OF TIME
The bitterness of the and the citation of the other
might well have impaired their judgment. 1t is true
that the hopes of 1915 have been tempered by fuller
of the obstacles that still bar the way
to lasting Yet the lapse of time finds the broad
aims and detectives of the Charter sound ever,
and ten years of dayto-day application of United Ma
tons principles have shown that the machinery devised
at San Francisco work, and can be made to work
better in the future with the seadfast faith and patient
effort of Member Governments and the peoples they
represent.
To recall the aims of the United Nations Charter,
years after their adoption, to confirm their
inuing validity
ITO succeeding generations from the scourge
IF war = The fearful potentiates of atomic war
are give new urgency to these words.
ITO reaffirm faith in Fundamental human rights in
he dignity and worth of the human person, in the
quail rights of men and women and of nations large
nd small :" To deny these articles of faith would
e to repudiate humanity itself.
ITO promote social progress and better standards
life in larger freedom :" These goals shared
y people everywhere.
ITO practice tolerance and live together in peace
nth another as good neighbors :" In world
ade by science and technology there is other
to preserve freedom and diversity within the unity
the human family.

DR.. Halver said recently while
in Sidney that the Bangs testing
program in Richland county
should definitely be completed by
January 1, 1856. This means that
there is only three months left to
complete the job in, so it is 60

concentrated effort of everyone in
communities that still have testing
to do.
At the present time it appears
that well over half of the eligible
cattle in the county have been
tested. This does not mean, how
ever, that half of the herds have
been tested as very little has
been done in the irrigated valley
where the herds run small in num-

Treating Fence Posts

Every now and then and again
during the last few years we have
called attention to the value of
treating fence posts to make them
last longer. One of the materials
we have mentioned is pentachlor-
aphenol n called penta for short.
Posts Of lodge pole pine when
treated with penta by the cold
soak method have shown good
durability in Montana.
However, the University of Min
nesota has made some extensive
tests which again point up the
value of treating fenceposts with
penta. These tests showed that
treatment with penta can make
posts last as much as three times
as long as untreated posts. Seven
kinds of posts were used in these
tests ranging from such woods as
jack pine and aspen to white
oak and red oak. The posts were
cut from green timber in March
Of 1912, peeled and allowed to
dry Until August when the moiS-
ture content averaged 20 to 25
percent.
Then the posts were divided
into three test groups. One group
received a "a hour cold soak in a
SO penta solution, a second group
was treated for 48 hours and the
third received no treatment at all.
Then the posts were set in test
plots.
All of the untreated soft wood
posts soon rotted out and had an
average life of only four years.
Jack pine, for example, was bad
ly decayed in only two years.
Yet treated jack pine was esti-
