Back in the days when Roy
Glover was promoting the idaa-
OF peace and amity between ma
lions, as exemplified by the u. s
dno canada, without a fortress NJ
d soldier to guard the long bonn
dary between them, Roy Glover
believed there can be neaca on
earth If there are enough men Of
good will. I am sure he believes
that now. He believed then, as I
am sure he believes now. that
science and technology, levened
by the spiritual concepts express
ed In the Sermon on the Mount
are mans only real material hope
o progress and peace on man

dalned destiny.
So when Roy Glover. speaking
with a voice to which all ma
lions might well listen, enunciates
LOT the Anaconda company a poll
cy of making the atomic age an
implement for mankind's welfare
rather than one of destruction. I
know he is saying what is deep
in his heart.
hoy Glover is a practical ideal
lSt. There are notable examples of
THIS IN Butte's present life and
outlook. When his course is set
toward an objective, he is very
much an undertaking realist, but
certainly not ruthless or inconsid-
crate of the viewpoints of others.
Capitalism in the traditional
American pattern is Mr.. Glover's
economic creed - capitalism that
IS not merely materialistic but
winch recognizes its humanitarian
responsibilities and that not by
bread alone does man live.

In his new position Mr.. Glover
has expanded opportunities to
Justify in practice the idealism
that was fundamental in his phil
osophy back in the days when I
first knew him. He will, I am con-
fdent, make the most of these
opportunities.
