international politics are
almost always reflected on
the Washington social scene.
One can tell. for instance,
by the number and quality
of Government officials at
a Soviet reception whether
or not relations between the
's two countries have taken a
hopeful turn.
Even friendliness between
any two foreign nations is
apt to be mirrored here by
the degree or cordiality with
which their ambassadors
greet each other.
INTERNATIONAL DIS
CORDS, alliances and efforts
to WOO other governments
are all reflected IN social at
titudes and party guest lists.
1t was therefore natural
after the events of the past
week for this question to
arise: Will the French EN-
bassy continue to have the
favored place 1t has occupied
on the social scene in the
light Of the terrible blow
Gen. de Gaulle dealt Amer
lea and Britain last Tues
day? The Kennedys went all
out In the reception they
gave De Gaulle's good friend
Andre Malraux during his
two visits here, but If their
reception was In the nature
Of a courtship. 1t failed.
A high Government official
said, II don't think It De
Gaulle's action will have
any effect. The French En-
bassy has traditionally been
a hospitable place. If some
individuals feel very strongly
they might conceivably not
accept an invitation to avoid
discussion of these things,
but In my own case 1t doesn't
change anything. Unless. Of
course" he added, "this is
only the start of q regular
campaign by De Gaulle to
further impair the unity of
the Western alliance"
SAID THE WIFE OF A
FOREIGN AMBASSADOR,
1T is very unpleasant for
an ambassador to find him
self In a situation like this.
The Kennedys certainly tried
very hard and they have been
particularly nice to the Al
phands. They had them to
Palm Beach. But it is not
the Ambassadors fault, and
they personally can't be
blamed. Still everybody is
Mortified over what has hap
pened and the Alphands may
feel 1t q little even though
it's unfair. All I can say is
I am glad / am not in their
shoes"
Said q prominent WASH
ington newsman, II feel it's
going to be difficult for him.
If the French government is
criticized bitterly in front of
- him he will have to defend

would be very glad to settle

Come to think Of 1t he might

10 per cent Of what this
country spends on liquor.

led to an acceptance of our funda
mental way of life in contrast to the
way of communists, simply by telling
him
"The approach is founded on the
courage to believe that our basic
assumptions are so fundamental and
have such universal appeal that they
will stand the pressure of the most
critical analysis and comparison -
"Only when the individual rea-
sons his way into a basic belief in
our fundamental assumptions, will he
have the faith to defend them with
his life if necessary.
Thus the conclusions that:
DR.. Borden was acting within
his rights as a citizen;
He was not attacking private en-
terprise, and better communication
on his part undoubtedly would have
avoided much of the criticism;
. He conducts himself with pro-
priety in the classroom, does a good
job of teaching and accepts the teach
ing responsibilities which are con-
sidered to go hand in hand with aca-
demic freedom; and
There is no justification for the
of institutional or other
formal sanction and no reason
FOR further inquiry into his teaching.

Objects To Babcock & Lee
Cement Hauling Contract

The Honorable Stewart Udall
Secretary of the Interior
Washington 25, d. c..
My Dear Mr.. Secretary:
We understand that the contract to
haul cement to construct the Yellow
Tail Dam in Montana has been awarde ed
to trucking company which belongs
principally, to the Governor of Mon
tana, Tim Babcock. We would like to
know how these contracts are awarded
and who has the making of this de-
cision. The people of Montana should
know this because of the following:
Governor Babcock has consist emily
fought against any and all Public
Power Projects in Montana.
Governor Babcock is anti-labor un-
ions, anti-farmers' unions, anti-teach-
er's unions, in short against any and
all unions where the people strive to do
together what they as individuals cam
not do for themselves.
Governor Babcock IS positively
against farmers co-operstives.
Governor Babcock refused to pro-
claim United Nations Day in Montana
and proclaimed Montana Day instead
He acts and talks as though Montana
is not a part of the United States of
America, but a country apart, of which
he tries to be the dictator
Governor Babcock's appointed repre-
sentatives on the Board of Regents of
the Board of Education in Montana take
upon themselves the debating of how
education is to be run by holding Sc
cret meetings against the law to
condemn publicly the opinions and
of our university professors
and demanding their resignation. Gov
ernor Babcock does not want free
speech in Montana except for his ex-
RENE right.
Considering such actions by Governor
we are therefore opposed to
giving him the contract to haul cement
or public power project which is |
,eing paid for by the peoples money |
md efforts. The statements he has |
nade against public power alone should |
e enough to keep him from getting |
UGH a plum into his lap. Sincerely |
WOODHOUSE, Power.

Reports on Moscow Tour

| Editor, Peoples Voice:
Diane Beeson was one of the youths
| that participated in the Helsinki Youth
| Festival from the u. S. A. She reports
| of the USSR thus:
| I'm each city they had planned a tenta-
| tive itinerary which was subject to
change according to the wishes of the
group. In Moscow the tour included the
University, Lenin's Tomb, historical
places museums and factories. I'm Kiev
| a collective farm and nursery school
were included. In every city we had
| meetings and parties with Soviet stu
dents and young Soviet workers. There
was always free time in the sch edule
for us to go our separate ways and we
were never required to go with the
group if we didn't wish to go. OF the
factories we had an opportunity 70
visit. 1 chose a book factory and a
cable factory. chose these because
had visited similar works in the United
States and could compare. Had we not
met before and after the tours of the
factories to discuss salaries, fringe
benefits and things that one couldn't
see by looking, / wouldn't have been
able to tell that the factories were not
American except that perhaps some
of the machinery in the cable factory
wasn't as modern as some seen in the
U. S.
We learned that, while the Soviets
is absolutely no unemployment. They
pay only 4 to per cent of their in
come on housing. This includes water,
heat lights, etc. Medical care, of
course, is free. Instead of paying for
students receive stipend
from the government. We found food
cheap except for some things like
meat and butter. Clothes are relatively
expensive and practical rather than
stylish. Plays, ballet, entertainment and
books are Enthusiastically cheap. Some of
the largest stores in the USSR are |
bookstores.
/ can't discuss the USSR without |
mentioning one thing and that is the |
subways. In New York, as in most of !
Europe, subways are filled with adver-
Using, beggars and trash. In Moscow
we rode the subway and, for days after,
many of us, were still lin a state of
shock. The stations are like palaces
n museums, white ceilings with or
late gold trim, colored tile, mosaic
loors and walls. Of course you don't
ind beggars or advertising. Nowhere

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

President Newburn of Montana
State University presented splendid
defense of freedom of expression and
academic freedom in the report he
gave to the State Board of Education
Monday, on the investigation" he
was charged by the Board to make
of the teaching practices of Morton
Borden, history professor, because of
speech he made in March in ST.
Paul. (See story on page -.
Banner headlines in the Helena
daily, Monday evening, proclaimed
BOARD A SSUME S BORDEN
CHASTISED BY PUBLIC AND
VOTES TO DROP CASE, and fea-
tured in the lead paragraphs of the
story further assumptions implied if
not proven in the Newburn report
that MSU had been injured by the
now famous Borden speech.
The Newburn statement said it was
not possible to determine the effect
on the institution, but "there are in
dications it may be considerable"
Is there possibility the "effect"
may be beneficial instead of in
furious?
There are many people in Mon
tana, and elsewhere, who have no
influence on the daily press; who are
not afraid to call a spade the Mon
tana Power Company; whose Sex
treme public reaction" can not be
classified in terms of antagonism
toward the presentation.
To evaluate the results of this
whole affair in the light, and on the
basis of, public criticism as reflected
in statements by Republicans and the
daily press is a magnificent folly.
In this case such conclusion has not J
yet been substantiated by any facts. |
1t is an exercise in self-delusion and |
wishful thinking which certain forces
are trying to build and establish by |
constant repetition.

line that we publicly classify as fool

on the floors or in the cars themselves
did we find anything even resembling
litter. Escalators carried us up and
down.
The most popular song there is called
DO the Russians Want WARP" And it
answers the question beautifully.
Even six soldiers we met on the train
from Brest to Warsaw had this fore
most thought in their minds. They
gave us note which they asked as
to please take to the people of our
country. The unofficial translation
goes like this: 1--WE the Soviet Youth
want to live in peace with the Ameri-
can people. Let peace and friendship
thrive between our people and may
happiness be with you forever. Sin

Newburn Says

are indications that it may be con-
siderable, the report said.
Other than that, and the fact New
burn felt DR.. Borden has been sub
jected to 'the most effective reprisals
in terms of extreme public reaction"
for his "indiscretions" in presenta-
ton, the statement sets forth some
loud and clear concepts in the field
of academic freedom, in defense of
the material in the Borden speech.
The MSU president said the answer
unjust be a clear and unwavering
YES that Borden was operating with
in his rights as a citizen TO criticize
persons in high office; to deplore
conditions in ones state; to censure
those who take an opposite viewpoint
regarding institutions, agencies or
politics which one supports; or to be
critical of such economic foundations
of tbs nation as Free Enterprise"
He spoke of the problems of con-
troversy and education, and the
sensitive area" in the realm of "in-
tellectual activity generally, and
that of the political scientist especial
ly:

thing that has transpired in this in
stance merely confirms the statements
for which the speaker was condemned.
He stated certain facts and then
events reaffirmed their truth.
Unless we have, like the Russians,
established certain sacrosanct indi-
viduals and groups in our political
structure, at what point can the "con-
siderable effects" on Montana State
University become injurious" be-
cause of speech identifying the poll
tical and economic forces?
If "injury" comes at the economic
point the truth of the speech is only
more evident because it would have
to be inflicted by those who WELD
the very political and economic power
he spoke of.
If it be academic one can wander
into a labyrinth of conjecture and
analysis. One avenue being if aca-
demic freedom exists why the Gin
vestigation into the teaching prac-
tees" of the professor who spoke
critically of some of society's favor
tie prejudices.
Those who started this whole thing
are probably glad to be rid of it in
this manner, and satisfied with a
slight slap on the wrist of the good
professor for his "indescretion" in
which they can lean on
and expand, to justify their own in
reactions to unvarnished,
naked, truth.
But if Montana citizens let it be
brushed lightly aside merely to "save
face" for certain political groups and
accept at face value their conclusions
a broader injury may be done.

My "Two-Bits Worth"

Now that the legislative "buIT' has
ceased it orbit around the State Capitol
and the air has had an opportunity to
clear from the attendant "fall-out'
pollution, this correspondent will again
| utilize a little space to call attention
| to matter that to me affects all of
our supposedly civilized humans,
namely:
| WAS SLAVERY ABOLISHED IN
| 1864 IN THESE UNITED STATES?
| A slave owner had one slave and a
| half section of land which the slave
worked exclusively and the owner re-
ceived an income of $500 clear each
year from that operation.
The slave, however, kept insisting on
his freedom and the owner being n
"canny' and financially wise person
made him a proposition that he would
grant him his freedom on the condi-
ton that the slave would rent that
land. The slave not being wise in fl
nancial matters, accepted the PROPOSE
ton, agreeing to pay the owner $1,000
annually rent.
There we see that the financial con-
dition had not changed, the owner still
receiving his $1,000 clear each year,
so what really happened was only a
change in names. The situation now
was called RENT.
This continued for a few years and
the former slave, realizing that his
as to name) became dissatisfied and
wanted change for the better.
The owner, being that same wise fl
nancier, made the former slave, now
the renter, another offer, namely that
the slave purchase the land and become
the owner. The slave-renter thought
he saw an opportunity for improve
ment and IAN agreement was made
Since the land and slaves work re-
suited in net income of $500 an
nually to the owner, he figured that
that represented 1919 of the land value
so they agreed on a purchase price
of s150,000. But the slave-renter had
no money and gave &c mortgage for the
$3.50, 900, agreeing to pay 1919 interest
ON that amount, which by a curious
would be $1,000 a year,
this was INTEREST.
Thus we see that the "slave-renter" |
and the former owner were left in the |
same condition as formerly, the slave |
renter" now the purchaser still work |
ng the land and the former "owner"
still receiving his 81, 500 annually clear |
INTEREST" so what really hap
,ened was only just another change in
names.
1t is all very comforting to say that
bad condition is changed but when
he change is simply in name and the
remains the same the state
nent that slavery was abolished be-
comes only a sop and salve to our
20 called Intelligence.
Much more could be said on this
ubject but I will defer that to later
communications, economics being %
omewhat complicated matter
1 hope to discuss several angles of
his subject if the "old man with the {
cythe" doesn't overtake me in time to
revent it. = LEVERNE HAMILTON, {
