Stronger Ties
Seen by Briton

The common aims, ideals and
detectives which bind the Brit
ish Commonwealth nations to-
day may in the future prove
stronger than some of the more
materialistic ones of the past,
the English Speaking Union
was told.
Meeting at the Sulgrave Club.
the organization heard a talk
Saturday by 1t. Gen. Sir Archi-
bald Nye, former United King
dom High Commissioner to
India and to Canada.
The union presented its an
r1ual citation for efforts to
achieve better understanding
between the people of the
United States and those Of the
British Commonwealth to Will
liam Stringer. chief of the
washington bureau of the
Christian Science Monitor.
The citation was presented
by C. v. H. Engert. president
of the Washington branch of
the union. 1t was signed by
William v. Griffin, president
Of the English Speaking Union
of the United States, and for
mer Ambassador to the United
Kingdom Lewis Douglas. chair
man.
Mr.. Stringer formerly was
chief of the Monitors London
Bureau and has served in vari-
GUS posts abroad. Mr.. Engert
said the Monitor has consist
emily advocated, among other
worthy causes, close co-opera-
ton with Great Britain and has
never ceased to express conf
dence in British truthworthi-
ness"
Sir Archibald noted in his
talk that the whole basis of the
Com m on wealth has been
changed in many respects, but
that Importantly there still re-
mains "a common belief in the
democratic system of govern
ment and respect for the rule
of law. for freedom Of speech,
for liberty of the individual and
for the consequences which flow
from those beliefs"
He expressed the view that
while the words imperialism
and colonialism" are considered
in many quarters today as
words of reproach," the Eng
llishman on the whole may well
"hold his head high" at the
record of empire behind him.

Permission to increase its electric

Immediately, was granted to the Pub

shire last month by the state public
utilities commission. The utility,
which is New Hampshire's largest
producer of power, had asked for
100000.
The amount was reduced, however,
after the accounting treatment of
accelerated depreciation of the firm s
new fertilizer was changed.
Commission Chairman Harold K.
Dawson declared the case 'is an i'm
portant one" which may also have
future benefits for other utility rate
payers.
'Most states, under present ac-

New Hampshire's Public Utilities
Commission in Feb. 1857 suspended
the effective date of $1,464,00O in

by the New England Telephone and

Meanwhile, Governor Lane Dwin-

quested hikes in rates.
In another related development
Deputy State Attorney General War

UNITED FRONT TO FIGHT
"RIGHT-TO-WORK"

Also discussed briefly on this panel
was the action taken the day previous

ment of a Montana "right-to-work'
law, and the imposition of general
sales tax. On both, all labor groups
and the Montana Farmers Union re-
affirmed their long held opposition
and indicated that united front will

MORE INDUSTRY NEEDED

Carl Kraenzel, an MISC professor
of agricultural economics, ventured
that to successfully meet our growing
education and tax problems "we must
get more industry and development.
Well not share proportionately in the
increasing national income until we
do" he said.
Don Chapman, former president of
Montana Farmers Union, spoke out
sharply against imposition of a sales
tax and noted that should an "insane
legislature" pass one, that labor and
farmer were united in their determi-
nation to make it imperative via of
referring it to the people for ballot
box consideration.
The matter of constantly increas-
ing fees (tuition) charged students
at state university units brought forth
criticism. One comment
on this was by Gretchen Billings, who
said that higher fees and the many
other higher costs attendant to Sc

Carl Infanger, emphasizing he was
not speaking for the commission, sug-
gested school district reorganization
and consolidation is lone of our most
pressing. perennial problems. He also
delved briefly into school curriculum
and asked: "What do we want to
teach in our schools? What effect
should Soviet Russia's apparent su-
periority in science have on our edu-
cational curriculum? Should we have
more curriculum (emphasis) on coping
with various mental capacities?
Should high schools teach more sub
iects? What about athletics and its
commercialization? How adequate
are our school building facilities at
all levels of education in Montana?
Can state aid methods be improved?
How can our state-share equalization
program be brought up-to-date?"
]. M. Peterson, long known as a
philosopher in the field of taxation,
emphasized that 'the government has
always had responsibility for the
general welfare of the people,. He
said "we must present facts Con taxa
tion) upon which people can make
correct judgments and can formulate
an equitable tax program.
"Taxes," he continued, "can be
made into a very good investment if
we use them to make people better.
The great hunger in people is to Gre
ate and to be acceptable to their fell
low men,"
Mr.. Peterson, referring back to his
opening statement, said that the rise
in social constituencies of the people |
mas brought greater governmental
participation in programs to further |
human welfare. Reviewing the long
1eld opposition to the role of govern
nent in being a guardian over the
Welfare Of people, he said that "we
must somehow overcome the false
doctrine that government action-our

troys initiative and productiveness.

idual cannot do. We must, it seems

educations.
These two dangers, as DR.. Rennt
outlined them, are:
l. The shaping up of a concerted
effort to put more and more of the
cost of higher education on the stu
dent.
2. Restricting college enrolment to
only those who make high academic
standards while in high school or who
pass aptitude tests with high grades.
AS to the first, he said such a pro-
gram is contrary to the American
principle of 'free public school sys-
tenn, entirely contrary to the prin-
ciple behind the nations land grant
colleges (such as MSC) and the
American way of life.''
Instead of restricting enrolment,
the MISC president said "we want
to provide the kind of education which
will help every student go as far as
he possibly can"
PROBLEMS OF THE AMERICAN
ECONOMY
Centering the major portion of his
address on the important role educa-
tion plays, and will play in the future.
DR.. Renne outlined major problems
now facing America. That we have
them, he believes, is all to the good.
without problems we'd probably go
the way of the dinasauer," and ''we've
some good ones now sputnik",
and its implications on the future of
world affairs.
In looking at our problems, he en-
phasized ''we ought to stress a posi-
tive approach to solving them.
"Our most important one we'll
face the next 20 years. he contin-
ued. sis to provide public services
in such volume and quality to en-
able us to achieve three-way OBJ
jective' of CD a continued growth
of our economy, (2) to live bet
err, and CD to achieve world peace.
Component parts of the above, he
aid, are:
l. We must provide educational |
for an increasing number
# our youth:
2. We must keep our military
trength up for defense;
8. We must achieve balance be-
ween industry, agriculture and labor
I the nations economy;
4. There must be sustained pro-
ram of providing capital and techni-
al assistance to underdeveloped coun-
'ies to increase their living standards
nd make them more economically
)und in the interests of peace;
5. We must have sound develop
ent of our nations resources.
AS to which one of the component
arts should be emphasized. Renne

At the present time, he noted,
The people's voice., 1957-11-29

that 3.9, slightly less than one fourth
is spent on higher education. All edu-
cation combined, public and private,
costs about SIG billion year, as
compared with two and one-half times
as much for military preparedness.
''We're all talking about crash

sis anybody talking about crash

People ought to be, for in less than
"20 years college students will in
crease two and one-half times over
. in Montana three times" MSC's
enrolment, for example, has doubled
in the last five years. and now has
5000, yet, the kids in college now
are not "due to the birthrate jump
since the big increase in births didn't
get going good until 1916" CAS- an
aside, Dr. Renne, noted that of MSC's
total enrolment, l 1,445 on 40 per cent,
are engineering students.)
To meet the flood-tide of enlarged
enrollments which will hit American
of higher learning as the
1946-on crops of babies grow up will
require at least double the four bill
lion dollars annually required today
to keep our colleges open. In addi-
ton, great capital outlays will have
to be made for additional buildings
and other educational facilities, and
teachers salaries will have to be more
han double what they are today to
attract and keep the highly qualified
educational staffs the upwards of
300 colleges and universities of the
nation will require.
THE FARM SITUATION
Pointing out that MISC also de-
-otes considerable portion of edu-
ational activities to agriculture, DR..
tenne asserted that positive steps
must be taken to stop the trend away
rom the family-sized farm. Adverse
economic conditions have accounted
or more than five million people
eaving agriculture in the last six
ears. By 1870, he estimated, there
ill be only Is million-or seven per
ent of our population still living
n the farm.
To save the bulwark of democra-
cy, commonly known as the family
size farm, he advocated Iegislating
OF an income support program" as
being Far superior to price sup
port program" Also, he urged that
We get away from so-called flexible
parity. Every economist knew once

,ect that farmers would attempt
o produce more and more in order

Bill Will Seek Repeal
Of D. c. Grocery Tax
Senate Measure
Would Cut Funds
By ST. Million

Senators Javits, Republican of
New York, and Morse, Democrat
of Oregon, announced today that
they will offer bill which would
repeal the Districts | per cent
sales tax on groceries.
Their bill would leave in effect
the sales tax on restaurant
meals.
Adoption of their amendment
to the District Revenue Act
would mean loss of at least
$2,225,000 a year in city
revenues.
Senators Javits and Morse,
however. said they were sure
some other source of funds could
be found to replace this portion
of the tax on food. Senator
Morse last year made a drive to
increase the size of the Federal
payment toward District ex-
penSeS.
They plan to introduce the bill
when the Senate meets tomor-
row.
The two Senators said in a
joint statement that when the
grocery tax was imposed by the
83d Congress, it was anticipated
that the tax yield would approx
innate S3.5 million, but that this
has not proved to be the case.
They said current receipts are
estimated at about S2.2 million.
They added:
" A sales tax on food is basic
ally levy on those who can
least afford it, on the very ne
cessities of life for families with
lowest income.
From the disappointing re-
ceipts from this tax, it appears
that this per cent levy is even
more of burden on income
families than elsewhere, for TO
judge from the difference of more
tnan 81 million in anticipated
receipts. those who can afford
to do so are crossing the District
line to shop in nearby Maryland
and Virginia where no such tax
is imposed.
Those who cannot afford TO
do this remain behind and pay
the additional | per cent.
They said that among the Ma
tons larger cities only Chicago,
Detroit and st. Louis. in addi-
ton to Washington. impose a tax
on sales of food for home con-
sumption.
The two Senator's argued that
the repeal of the tax need not
cause curtailment of District
services. They added IF the
Federal Governments annual
contribution to the District is
found to have an influence on
the necessity for the grocery
sales tax. then it should be re-
considered "
