ship Of Gen. Ayub, is another
nation in which parliament
tary institutions had to be
temporarily abandoned to en-
able the nation to avoid GER
tain collapse. In Iran, the
strong hand of the young
Shah has taken a firm grip
on the wheel, and the Iran
ian Parliament has become
a mere consultative body.
Turkey has its controlled
democracy also, with Mende-
res welding powers that are
practically dictatorial.
The older, larger nations
haven't escaped. What is
Gen. Charles de Gaulle's
Fifth Republic but a con-
trolled democracy, in which
the leadership, and in the
last analysis the decisions,
are in the hands of Charles
de Gaulle? Chancellor Kon-
rad Adenauer's German Fed
eral Republic is pretty much
a one-man show, with Der
Alter" holding a very power
full stick.
AS the former colonies of
Africa emerge from their
long dependence on European
nations, they, too, seek de-
mocracy, but quickly find
they cannot yet afford it.
Kwame Nkrumah in Ghana,
an aStute and energetic
statesman, put the control
into his country's democracy
at the outset, without wait
ing for threats of collapse.
Guinea is also taking the
same course, as will other
lands as they set forth on the
winding paths of independ-
ence.
In many cases, we fear, de-
mocracy will never really ap-
pear, and dictatorship will
become permanent. But in
others there will be the same
dedication to democratic
ideals that Mr.. Khrushchev
has seen in Burma. Will the
Soviet peoples ever know such
transition?

Public Discussion of Union Problems
Called Hopeful Aspect of u. S. Scene

One Of the hopeful as
poets of the American labor
management scene is the
candor of labor's top leader
ship.
In the recent Florida
meeting the executive coun-
ellis heard John w. Living
stone, organizing director,
stated that a smaller per-
centage Of the Nations work
force is unionized today than
when the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and the
Congress Of Industrial Or
ganizations merged in 1855.
They also heard the rea-
sons why.
One is an old one-the op-
position Of employer groups.
But there is a second. And
1t is one which is the more
harmful to labor'S organiza-
tional plans. Certainly the
leadership made it plain
that labor has paralyzed it.
self with inter-union feuds,
insofar as any centralized
drive for new members is
concerned. Unions cannot
agree which unions should
receive new members. This
is particularly true of in
ternational unions. But it
applies also to purely ma
tional as well. They cannot
agree on jurisdictional rights
in the unorganized indus
tries.
There was a commendable
candor, too, in a second pub
lie statement by the AFL-
CIO central organizing staff.

that stability in Burma was
being purchased at the ex-
penSe of democracy. Free
dom, it was said, was being
sacrificed to efficiency, and
the nation was going to be-
come a permanent military
dictatorship. And indeed, this
was the pattern one had a
right to expect, if history in
other countries was any guide.
But the military men of
Burma fooled the cynics.
When the necessary stability
and sound functioning had
been restored to the govern
ment. the army bowed out.
Elections were arranged, and
U NJ. who masterminded the
entire play in any case, was
returned to Office. His ma
jority. both party and per-
sonal. is so great as to guar
antee his effectiveness as
head of the government. His
enemies are scattered and
discredited. And he can count
on the support of the small
but we'll ofhcered army if he
should need it against foes
domestic or foreign.
The experience of the
Burmese government is an
excellent example of the
trend toward a system of
government called by some
of its admirers controlled
democracy" The system
has wide variations, differing
according to the particular
needs of the country employ
ing it. In Indonesia, which
Mr.. Khrushchev also is visit
ing. President Sukarno has
applied a personal solution
to his country's problems.
But here was a case, unlike
that existing in Burma, in
whic h the army obviously
was not capable or running
the government.

Senator johnson of Texas.
But Senator johnson is
helped only because the
others may be hurt.
But it would pe a huge
mistake to think that the
Senator from Oregon is only
a Peck's Bad Boy who likes
to see his name IN headlines.
He is not a nonentity ard he
is far from stupid. In his
own way. he is even con-
sistent.
1t appears to students Of
his career that he has two
goals at least. One is to fix
the political line for labor
and to be its principal spokes-
man. The other is to protect
his position in Oregon.
He may trip over his own
self-confidence, but he has
the nerve, energy and bril-
lance to give both objectives
the old college try.
Few legislators have had as
long a career in the many
faceted labor movement. A
great many people may vote
according to other sincerely
held convictions, but few
have ever out-talked Senator
Morse on labor questions or
overcome his weight of
knowledge. He has, Incl
dentally, a Photographic
memory and almost total
recall; he is a safe leak on
Senate business for any re-
porter he trusts.
There is no question that

Since it is unable to grapple
with feuds in which interna-
tional unions claim jurisdic-
ton and refuse to agree on
who will be the workers who
are ready and willing to sign,
the staff will not act.
A national convention on
the subject is recommended.
This predicament, of in
ternal feuds and bitterness,
is more responsible for the
percentage decrease in union
membership than the opposi-
ton Of employer groups. Un-
less there can be some pre-
convention agreement on
agenda. there is no need to
hold such a session. And
again, this is freely admitted.
What was not discussed is
that this situation has made
1t easier for industrialists to
hold workers from unions.
The spectacle of feuds, the
bitterness, and sometimes the
violence of them, are not CAL
culated to make union mem-
bership attractive.
An additional factor, not
discussed in explaining the
lower percentage of union
membership, is the changing
nature of the Nations work
force. There has been a steady
decrease in craft and indus
trial workers. New machines
and the various processes of
automation have made pos
slble an acceleration of mass
production items with fewer
employees. John L. Lewis

Morse's Role: Mischief Maker

labor's leadership is not
happy about its present sit
uation. AS Senator Morse
gleefully points out, it is
denying primary indorse-
ment to all the candidates
Where it can. He is appar-
emily seeking to fish in the
admittedly troubled waters
OF the whole labor movement,
AS for Oregon, Senator
Morse decided that if he
were showed aside in his own
State primary, he would
nave heavy going in 1862
when he is up for renomina-
ton and reelection. He has
taken steps to insure that
he will not be. Local leaders
are warning Senators Ken
nedy and Humphrey to get
out of the State gracefully
while there is yet time, and
dispatches from the travel
ing press indicate it is sound
advice. .
Senator Morse processes to
be vastly indignant at the
rudenesS of fellow-DemocratS
who have failed to respect
his favorite-son status. He
admits they could be put in
the Oregon primary without
their consent. but he argues
that they could have with
drawn.
Some of this must be
tongue-in-cheek, like his in
sistence he is in the race
to win. Perhaps he Chiuks his
grievance is real. and few
politicians would deny that
a Senator with a 1862 re-
election problem is wise to
protect himself insofar as he
can in 1860.

this fund drive and hope that the
people of Sidney will continue
their support. The Girl Scout
Program is an outstanding one in
that it aims to help all girls in
the community grow spiritually,
mentally, and physically. The
camping program is one of the
highlights of the Girl Scouts Pro-
gram. Last July a fine representa-
ton of local Girl Scouts enjoyed
the camp at Lewistown. Part of
the funds received make this type
of activity possible.

Beet Harvest Is
Biqqest In Years

One of the bright spots in Mon
tana's agriculture took on added
luster this week as it became evil
dent that this years sugar beet
harvest shapes up as the biggest
in 20 years.
A second boost came with the
October Is move by the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture taking
the Lid off acreage which may be
planted to sugar beets in the U.S.,
thus paving the way for 1861 ex-
pansion of Montana's production
of the non-surp1us sugar crop.
Beet sugar industry people in
dictated they expect to contract
this winter for all the acreage they
can handle in present Montana
factory facilities. A survey of the
three companies operating four
big sugar beet processing factor
les in Montana indicated at least
a rs percent jump in sugar beet
paintings next spring above the
$4,000 acres being harvested this
fall. This would mean added mil
lions of dollars cash income to
farmers and other sugar workers
in the Treasure State.
The Montana crop this fall is
estimated at $4,000 tons, a good
1O3, 900 ton jump over last years
total yield and almost a quarter
million tons better than the ten
year average production der the
period 1949-58.
Sugar production from this big
crop is estimated at almost 400
million pounds of Montana beet
sugar from the Great Western
Sugar Company's mill at Billings;
Holly Sugar Corporations two
plants at Hardin and Sidney; and
the American Crystal factory at
Missoula.
Interest in expansion is great,
since the price of sugar beets has
remained good while other crop
prices have declined. u. S.
troubles with Fidel CaStro's Cuba
has also increased the nations re-
lance on the beet sugar industry
for ample sugar supplies, making
beet sugar the number one sup
plier of the u. S. market this year.
Hence, expansion of the industry
in Montana was believed a certain
ty as all factors combined to in
dictate a promising future for the
farm-factory enterprise which
began in Montana 81 years age
and has grown ever since to Its
present record size.
