world in the many-fronted
struggle to defeat this global
conspiracy Of Communism.
Despite many forms Of strength
- eliminating in the freest and
most productive society ever
known on earth - the United
States is not well adapted tenn
peramentally to lead such a
struggle.

The focal question is the
nature Of democracy itself. Free
people viii always stand up
and fight for freedom their
own and even that Of their
friends and allies) when the
challenge is clear-cut and UNI
mistakable. But a freedom that
is also prosperous will always
make very considerable sacri-
fees to avoid any fight if it can.
And this characteristic is a
grave danger to freedom and a
tremendous asset to the Soviet
Union in the waging Of an
theological war.
The free world owes deep
gratitude to the United States
for its unparalleled generosity
and sacrifice, and we Koreans
owe most Of all. Yet the sad
and indeed awful fact is that
a generosity which is great
enough to make the sacrifices
entailed in the Korean War can
fail to achieve its own essential
purpose when it is afterward
counteracted by such a futile
compromise as that of the truce
in Korea.

of the past century have shown that the resort to brother
hood and freedom based upon equality and understanding
far snpass any philosophical approaches BY whatever name
given.
H WEST MUST not have done badly in its dealings
with Asians, Or kind words, unsolicited as they were, would
not have come from the very delegates to the conference.
The West could have done much better, but the time has not
all gone. The future holds a great opportunity and much pro-
mise. Used effectively, with honesty and integrity, and gen
uine effort to convince the rest of the world that they are our
equals and brothers, the opportunities Of the future could do
more to solve the worlds problems than all the chronological

BANDUNG CONFERENCE
THE 20 NATIONS comprising the Asi

H 20 NATIONS comprising the A%sianAfrican con
ference in Bandung, Indonesia, represents three quarters of
the worlds population. This is no matter to be dismissed
lightly, and for that very reason the eyes and ears Of the
Western world were glued to events in that far off Asian
city.
II IS THE FIRST time in history that the non-white
peoples have sat together to consider their problems, and
lay the groundwork for future development of their peoples
and governments. But this is putting it in the most lofty
terms possible, Indeed, this should be the underlying reason
for the conference, and dspite an occasional furry Of pro
paganda, the Banding conference emerged fairly eonstrue-
tive.
AT TIE OUTSET it was feared that Communist China
would turn the conference into a purely vicious propaganda
campaign through which the typical Communist attacks
would be made on everything and everybody not adhering
to their viewpoint. 1t was also feared by many that the mere
getting together of non-white peoples, with their teeming
millions would quickly weld these people into a hatewhite
organization, determined to wreak vengeance on everybody
not Of their liking.
THIS FEAR can be said to be dispelled. No sooner
than the conference got under way than many representatives.
took to the floor to warn that the conference should not sink
to the level of bitterness and expressions Of y~ituperion
against Others. Many representatives, including those of the
Philippines, Ceylon, Turkey and Iraq, warned against the
danger Of fighting off western colonialism while heading for
Communist coloniaEsm. And in like manner, these leaders
warned that the East should not make the same mistakes Of
the West, but should instead seek ways Of peace, under
standing and fellowship with all men.
THERE IS NOTHING good about coIonialism, but
there is even greater danger if three quarters Of the worlds
population should either set out to avenge, or to create a colon
ia1ismof their own. In the first place, colonialism is definitely
on. the way out and second, modern means Of communication,

Peanuts and High Finance

Generally speaking, we peanut ven
! doris are experts and wizards in high
| finance and large scale business. OF
course what we don't know would still
make a pretty good size book. Take the
Dixon-Yates deal for instance. 1t
doesn't concern us at all and is 1900
miles distant. 1t is no skin off our nose
what they do down there. However, we
reserve the privilege of telling them
how to run their business, and giving
them the benefit of our inexperience.
In Montana, whenever we borrow
money we expect to make a profit on
it. If we didn't, the banks and other
lending agencies would not lend us a
dime for farming operations, buying a
homes or anything else. Our REA's
expect to make at least 4 % on their
borrowed capital and try to make
more if they can. Is it wrong for cleo
trio power and distributing concerns
in Alabama or Arkansas to try to make
six-tenthS of one per cent. What hap
pens if they lose 5, 10 or even 100 % {?
1t can happen and has happened.
We hear a great deal about IVA.
However, probably few people know
that almost exactly two thirds of all
IVA power is generated by steam
plants and not water power There just
wasn't water enough to go around. Why
concentrate all those steam plants in
Tennessee Valley? If it is a good thing,
for instance. Give our own coal miners
a break.
To the man who loves a hoe, Ct am
somewhat skeptical about that state
ment, | will venture the suggestion
that. he is unduly alarmed about that
Dixon Yates 100000 profit. First, the
takes 52go of it as a cor
poration profit which reduces it to
$2SS,000 Then if that sum is dis |
tributed to $4,000 stockholders in the
Dixon Yates corporations, they would |
receive $500 each after paying an
average Of about 5000 Federal and I
State income taxes, they would realize
about $3.50 each. This represents about
one thirtieth of a mill per kilowatt
lour, or about " cent per month for the
.verage power consumer. We have other
more important things to worry about.
Is the man who loves a hoe" a stock
FOLDER in an REA coop corporation? Do
hey pay a corporation tax on their
,rofits? Are they limited to a six
enths of 20 permissible profit, not
profit? If so, it will take
hem 1877 years to pay back the money
hey borrowed from Uncle Sugar.

Fascism Has Come

The prime element of Fascism is the
right or power of one man to embark
a nation in war.
The rapidity of attack, if attack is
made by any great nation nova days,
might have justified the Congress to
give power to the President to begin
war; in the event of aggression against
any territory of the United States
This would be against the constitutional
law that the Congress alone can de-
clare war. Necessity knows no law.
The invasion of Korea by Mr.. Tru-
man, without a word from Congress,
was illegal, unconstitutional. 1t drove
his Democratic party from power 1t
cost in men nigh 100000 u. S. casualties.
1T destroyed both North and South
Korea. Both together were not worth
in the market the SIS billion it cost
us. And when Macarthur destroyed the
Chinese owned electric power plants
on the Yalu River, the Chinese attacked
and defeated us.
Now, the Congress has abjectly, H.
legally delegated power to begin war
to the Executive if Formosa is att
tackled. AS for me, Formosa, Chang
Kai Shek, the Chinese under him are
not worth the life of one American
Marine.

Editor Has Nightmare

Usually the editor of the PEOPLE'S
VOICE is sympathetic to fair labor
practices and employers of union la
bor and we are astonished when we
read his comments on the proposed
House Bill to give a 1870 discount on
liquor to retail LIQUOR vendors in the
state by the state liquor stores. His
imagination runs wild when he says
that there is an effort being made 70
eliminate the state liquor stores
through this proposed 159a discount
to liquor vendors. That is falsehood.
This is not a NEW proposal and during
a more liberal administration of Roy
Ayers, a Democrat, the tavern opera
tors received a 80 discount and justly
so, because of the large Volume of
took away the SO discount. Attempts
have been made to get a reinstate-
ment of the discount at all succeeding
sessions of the legislature. But be-
cause Of lack of understanding on the
part of our legislators on the good bust
ness principles involved in the pro-
posal, they vote against any form of
discount.
Such imaginary ideas issued by men
who know little of the problems of the
retail liquor business, and care very
little about how much taxes and licenses
the liquor dealers have to contend
with, are the cause of the misunder-
standing by Legislators who have very
little conception of the tremendous
overhead that tavern operators have |
to meet each year, not only in license
fees, but steady increase i'm wages paid |

Surely it must have been quite en-
barrassing to the numerous legislators
who during the sessin introduced to
the assembly the youth from their home
town; school children and their teach
ers. During the Introduction and before
and after, Legislators apparently sleep;
not long ago one fell out of his chair
during roll call vote. Others reading
the comic section of the daily papers;
conversng back and forth across the
aisle; some scribbling on their desks,
practicing their drawing lessons of
fifty years ago.
We sitting in the balcony can OBJ
serve numerous antics which are I'M
becoming those whom their constitu-
ents have placed faith in; faith that
they will legislate a constitutional |

No one can attend such session and
be impressed with but one thought,
stupidity"
To quote the Tribune, Friday when
two speakers on the floor of the House
expressed opinion regarding how bill
should be handled after admitting they
had not read the measure in question"
Stupidity well exemplified.
Obviously bills in the numerous COM
mittees are killed without members
themselves; they simply
accept the word of one prompted
spokesman.
