The Learned Reds

1t has often been said that
mankind never learns: par
ticularly, his governments
never seem to learn. But the
Communists learned from
history, and are putting their
learning into practical appli-
cation.
They have learned from
every successful empire that
the way to overcome the most
formidable rivals is to divide
and conquer. Hence they con-
stantly try to introduce
wedges and promote misun-
derstandings between nations
allied against them.
They have learned from
Machiavelli the political art
of discrimination. Therefore,
they claim to love and long
for peace (although strictly
on their own belligerent. IN
yielding and mbitious
terms, and they even try to
cast a falsely benign aura
over the evil facts underlying
their diabolical intentions.
They have learned from
medieval religion how to use
the arts visual. literary, mu-
steal and dramatic) as insuru-
ments of propaganda and in
struction. Moreover, in the
Soviet world, if the arts fail
to carry the political message.
the artist is admonished or
repudiated. even liquidated.
They have learned from
their own Lenin. who, in COM
menting upon his idea of the
commercial CHI aracter Of
America, prophesied that "the
United States will ultimately
sell us the spades with which
we shall bury them" So they
keep sending emiSSarieS to
make trade deals in which
they can acquire the indus
trial, chemical, electronic and
other spades" which they
need-even suggesting imper-
tinently that we provide these
on long-term credit And yet
there are a few suicidallv
shortSighted Americans who
are actually receptive TO this
line.
Lately, occasionally they
appear to be learning that a
smile is more seductive than
a frown. that you catch more
flies with honey than with
vinegar.
But above all. at every So
called conference, they dem
onstrate. with unshakably
obstinate and highly irritat-
ing skill. that the whole prin-
ciple of their present-day in
ternational relations with the
free world stems from their
learning just one idea ad-
vanced by that astute old
Frenchman, Chateaubriand.
who said: Gaining time is a
great art, especially if you
are not ready"
When are we going to wake
UP to a realization Of the
true purpose behind all their
stalling and obstructive talk?
Here is the lesson that the
United States needs to learn
before it is too late. 1t really
should not be very difficult 10
grasp. Actually. it ought to be
very easy in view of the fact
that we have already had one
extremely bitter course Of in
struction in this identical
school of history.

@. Why 90 savings and loan
associations refer to dividends
rather than to interest on
SavlngS?-WS.
a. The depoSitor in a saw
ings and loan association Is.
actually or theoretically. an
owner-member Of a mutual
association. The money he en-
trusts 10 the association is
invested in it, rather than
loaned to it. The return on
an investment is called a
dividend; the return on a
loan is called interest.
Q. Is color blindness a
d iSeaSe?-L. r.
A. No: 1t is simply a con-
dition. Il does not lessen or
dlstort vision. as a disease
does. and il does not affect
ones perception Of black and
white or Of light intensity.
The cause is not known
although there are several
theo-Ies-and thus far no
cure Is known. Color blind
ness may be a simple blind
ness to red or to green or TO
blue-yellow. or II may IN
some individuals be a compl-
cated combination OF def
ciencies or color distortion.

Jungle Formations

Some of the algae formed
in great colonies in forms
that probably specifically
would have looked Ike very
fantastic jungle trees. The
masses may be dome-shaped.
columnar, fan-shaped or con-
ical. The present remains are
composed of layers Of lime
stone, separated by layers Of
silt. The limestone deposited
by the plant gTowths is some
what harder than ordinary
limestone, so 1t stands out
and can be identified.
One algal species formed
columns. or trunks, more
than a foot in diameter and
up TO six feet high. These
columns grew quite close to-
gether. giving the jungle ap-
pearance.
The largest area was built
up by a species Of algae
which formed in colonies
from a foot TO six feet IN
diameter and up to three
feet high. The remains Of
these. says the report. are
fairly easy to recognize and
most have been the predom-
inant growth Of the region
over many thousands Of
years.
The Belt Sea apparently
never was very deep. During
long periods Of drought con-
siderable areas may have
dried up. changing the re-
gion into a succession Of
large lakes separated by mud
fats.

Steel Solution?

In The Star Of March 2
a letter of this writer APP
peared under the caption
Restraining Prices" The es-
sence was the proposal to
legislate limiting price con-
trolls over specific elements
of our economy such as for
basic steel. railroads and
power industries. The in
tent Of the proposed legis-
lation was simply there shall
be no increased prices or rates
due to increased wage costs"
Labor would be left free to
bargain in the best way it
could under such existing
price increase restraint.
We now are encountering
a steel strike. The prob
ability would have been that
were such price restraining
controls extant some sort of
settlement would have been
forthcoming. Both manage
ment and labor leaders are
practical men and the i'm
pact of such legislation would
have been telling. While I
would hardly attempt to say
exactly how this strike will
terminate, it is almost GER
tain that labor will receive
some sort of wage increase
if for no other reason than
the justification of a strike
by it's union leadership. If
the steel companies are able
and willing to absorb in
creased wage costs some
token wage increase may be
made. If labor succeeds in
obtaining a substantial in
crease, part of this increase.
if not all, will be passed on
as a price increase dependent
on the true position of the
steel companies to hold down
the inf1ationary wage-price
spiral.
While the proposed re-
straining price legislation has
lost its full weight insofar
as the steel strike is con-
cerned. passage at this time
would make a quick settle
ment possible. Both man
agement and labor leaders
would be taken "off the
hook" But of far greater
concern is the future. With
such an important segment
as railroad labor contracts
expiring later this year, the
Importance of both price and
rate increase restraints be-
come manifest.
A. E. TOmkin.
\ \ =
What sort of reasoning is
it, in connection with the
steel strike, that the parties
should compromise? Are
there people foolish enough
to think that if the strikers
demand an increase of 80
cents per hour (for example)
and are agreeable to settle
for Is cents, that such is a
compromise, and therefore
reasonable? Or that man
agement's refusal to settle on
such basis is unreasonable?
Such fuzzy thinking is like
reasoning that if a bank rob-
Der agrees to take only hah
of the money in the bank, he
is engaging in a reasonable
compromise. I would be most
happy to compromise with
my boss every year, but he is
not so willing. Anti Strike.

A great shallow sea whose
floor was carpeted with dense
Semi-tropical forests or liv-
ing stone" once covered all
the northern Rockies from
the western shore Of Hudson
Bay south through most Of
Montana and Idaho.
Its most remarkable fea-
ture was the dense green. red
and blue jungle which COW
cred large areas Of its bot
tom. 1t was a rOck-making
jungle. The sea. presumably
an arm of the ancient Arctic
ocean. lay in the midst Of a
lifeleSs desert Of bare stone
extending for hundreds Of
miles in all directions.
This fantastic picture Of
the North American land
scape Of more than 800 mil
lion years ago has just been
issued by the United States
Geological Survey. based on
studies in Glacier National
Park by Drs. Clyde P. Ross
and Richard Relax Of the
Survey staff. The sea was
the So-called Belt Sea. long
since transformed by ma
lures upheavals into some
of the continents highest
mountains.
Built in Layers
The sea bottom was built
up through several hundred
thousand years in several
quite distinct layers. The
first. dating from approx
mately half a billion years
ago, shows no evidences of
life. At that time life in its
simplest forms was Just get
ting a foothold on earth.
On top of this is a thick
layer Of limestone, which also
hitherto has been considered
completely lacking in evl-
denceS of life. Intensive study
of the limestone strata. how
ever, reveals imprints Of GER
tain ancient algae. close to
the lowest forms of plant life,
whose present species include
almost all kinds of seaweedS.
But 3OO,OOO,0OO years ago
these algae practically had
the world to themselves.
There was no competition
from higher plants and ami
mails, at least in the Belt Sea
area. They themselves ex-
tracted lime from the water
and built up the great lime
stone reefs characteristic Of
certain strata Of the region
today. They developed, &C
cording to the report, into
great sea bottom iungleS. Of
which there is enough evI-
dence to present a fairly COM
prehensive picture.
The climate in this part Of
North America then was
strikingly different. 1t was
at least semi-tropical. Con-
ditlons must have been about
the same, the report says. as
those found today in marshy

N EW TRAFFIC
ACCIDENT Law
MUCH STRICTER

Recent legislative action pro-
vides stricter penalties for failing
to report traffic accidents. Alex
B. Stephenson, Supervisor of the
Montana Highway Patrol, said
that the new law effective July /,
1859 requires immediate notice of
accidents.
The amended statute requires
the driver of a vehicle involved
in an accident resulting in injury
to or death of any person or
property damage to an apparent
extent of one hundred dollars
(S100.00) or more to Immediately
by the quickest means of COM
munication give notice of such
accident to the local police de-
partment if such accident occurs
within a municipality, otherwise
to the office of the county sheriff
or the nearest office of the High
way Patrol.
Failing to give immediate notice
or submit written reports could
result in a fine or suspension of
the driver license. Although the
penalties are stiffer, Stephenson
said the lawmakers were also
considerate of the public by allow
ing ten days to submit a written
in place of twenty-four
hours, and also by increasing the
minimum property damage from
$500 to $4,000.
The new amendments not only
Montana's traffic laws
but bring them into conformity
with other states and should en-
courage better reporting, Stepher-
son concluded.
