The Russians and the
Winter Olympic Games

Oh, how I hate those Russians
just heard (along with several million
other Americans) from my favorite
radio news commentator, how the Rus
SLAMS are using the Olympic Games
for propaganda purposes. They have
been winning the prizes, while we, the
representatives of the so-superior free
world" have not done quite so pretty
good. This goes to show, as the com
mentator said, that the Russians must
have put entirely too much into the
training of their contestants just to
beat us for propaganda purposes.
Sometimes, in this greatest of all
nations, the result of sports events has
been sort Of predetermined, so to speak,
but not exactly for propaganda pur-
poses. There has usually been much
more tangible and substantial sub
stance involved. You must not forget,
as Mr.. Dulles, another of Americas
great has said, we cannot deal with
the Russians.
A long-haired friend of mine, who
reads a great deal of what I'm sure
is not popular reading, has a theory
so strange and subVersive that
thought I'd pass it along for a laugh
He says that the young Russians who
are performing such seeming miracles
in the Olympic Games are the product
of a new, virile social organization and
that they represent a new type of
man and womanhood who shall excel
in every conceivable comparison with
the representatives of an old, decadent
social organization like capitalism. If
there were any way that he could be
right, what our radio commentators |
have dished up to us in the way of |
That is one game we |
certainly can win over those nasty |
Russians if my friend could only be

standard; CTS to 10. This time they
made a shade under with 81, the
final figure.
The goals that have been set for
the next decade are: An increase in
the kw's used per man hour from the
present 81 year to 20; jump of
1870 in employee output; an increase
in annual capital expenditures for
plant and equipment of 500; already
the 117% increase in
farm Identification; and commu-
nifty electrification increase of 1000
over the ten-year period.
The reasons that MPA goals from
1856 to 1865 will be met is the con-
tinual growth of electrical uses on
the farm, the huge demand for cleo
trictiy in the atomic energy field, and
the snowballing automation trend.

The Impact of Communism
On Capitalism
CHAPTER II


(Again let me say, l am &c Roosevelt

The emergence in the recent French
election of the Communists as the
chief of political parties in France,
5b million votes, the probable joining
of the Socialist Party to form the gov
eminent, is food for thought of stu
dents of history.
The French have been tutors of the
world But for Jeffersons stay in
France we would still be counting our
money in shillings and pounds. Shakes

lation of Plutarch's Lives and also from

powers. Legislative, Judicial, EXecu-
tive The French published the first
encyclopedia. The ideas of the French
Revolution spread to Latin America
and caused under Simon Bolivar (edu-
Gated in France) the 81 revolutions
against Spain and Portugal there.
Roosevelt's wise mother took him to
school in France.

Egypt got from the Skoda Works of
Czechoslovakia all the modern weapons

A million people in India in one day,
with turbans in the air, welcomed Bull

Thornton's BefuddIement

We are now in the season of refurb-
ishing myths into realities for the
benefit of the unwary. Where issues
are too delicate or dangerous politi-
cally, old and worn out shbiboleths are
brandiShed to arouse old prejudices.
1t is traditional in American political
campaigns that honest and realistic
assessment of contemporary political
issues is unwise, if not dangerous.
Recently, Mr.. Dan Thornton, former
governor of Colorado, visited MISC to
give us % preview of what we may ex-
pect during the coming campaign. And
if both parties speakers indulge in
this type of befuddlement, it is high
time to encourage independent analy
sis and thinking in perceptive persons.
1t is high hime that political aspirants
recognize that the old methods of
dressing up cliches as hard fact will
not produce an enlightened citizenry
capable of judging living issues fairly.
We are in the greatest crisis both in
ternationally and at home we have
ever confronted. To speak glibly Of
basic issues is to say the least, dis
service to our citiZenrY who do not
have the time to examine issues realis-
tically.
After our national holocaust called
McCarthyism, it is the essence of folly
to consign large segments of the popu
lation to the status of disgrace and
dishonor.
To say that the Democratic party is
socialistic, communistic, demagogic is
counting disaster nationally. Twenty !

Expensive Cheap
Government Power

The Editor of the PEOPLES VOICE
in the Jan. 9th issue, questions my
statement that For every / cent the
stockholders (of public utilities) get
to keep, the federal, state and local
governments get cents, without hav-
ing a single dollar invested" He en-
quires, IF the government is without
investment, pray tell Il. j., who paid
for Canyon Ferry Dam"
That is easy. The Montana public
utilities pay a federal income tax of
500 of their profits amounting to u
total Of about Sc, 900, 900 per year, which
is of course paid by their customers,
you and !. We, collectively, paid in
more in the last five years than the
total cost of the Canyon Ferry, or
about 100000, 900. And that, / believe,
Mr. Editor, answers your question:
Please note that REA Co-ops who
have preference right to Canyon Ferry
power, contributed exactly nothing to
it's cost. They don't even patronize it,
although if they took power in large
wholesale quantities. they would get
it at the same rate paid by the Mon
tana Power Co., 21A mills per XVIII
at the bus bar. Or if any REA Coop
orders it, the government viii deliver
firm power in medium size wholesale
quantities at the bus bar for mills
per XVIII, or SIS mills delivered any
where in Montana east of the CONT
mental Divide.+ The REAs seldom order
it though because they can get better
and cheaper service from the Montana
Power Co.
The Editor states that the Montana
Power has captured" Canyon Ferry
power output. From whom may | ask?
If anybody else wants it, all they have
to do is ask for it, The Tow cost
government power" is controlled and
by the Bureau of Recla-

that they are susceptible to bribery
