HAVES MAY BECOME THE HAVE NOTS
A few years ago, it was fashionable for intellectuals to dis
"the coming war" as a struggle between the "have and
CUSS
"have not" nations. In the light of that talk, it is interesting
to study the table below, for it shows what is happening to
the "haves":

We think it is a mistake to regard this war as one springing
from economic factors alone. They are important and cannot
be ignored. We also have the clash of ideals and ideas of gov
ernment. But the table serves to illustrate that so far we have
been losing this titanic struggle in one of its most important
aspects.
The table is taken from a book, "The Coming Battle of
Germany," by William B. Ziff, one of the editors of "Flying."
One reader has commented that the first 125 pages of his opus
will "scare the pants off you." He points out how the have-nots
have increased their share of the vital materials of the earth
in great quantity and with shocking speed. We have long since
abandoned the passive thinking of 1939 and early 1940, when
we talked of conquering the axis by blockade. One needs only
recall his thoughts of that time to realize what has happened.
And it is not a pretty picture.
Mr. Ziff's book becomes more timely in view of all the dis
cussion about a second front. He does not believe we can rely
wishfully upon the Russians to win the war for us by crushing
the Germans with sheer numbers. We can realize that now.
Nor, if we hopcf to win the war, can we withdraw to the
Western hemisphere to set up a mighty defense in depth.
The author finds the answer to a rising cry for offense in
air power. He raises interesting implications when he declares
that bombers should grow in size as well as in number. We
now have the 2,000 pound "block busters." Mr'. Ziff sees no
reason why we should not, soon, be dropping ten-ton bombs
in countries. One such bomb, he declares, would
_15

in enemy countries. One such bomb, he declares, would lay'
waste the center of Berlin.
Air power alone, he declares, once saved Britain. Air power
alone, he believes, will now defeat Germany and pave the way
to annihilation of the Japs.
Not all military authorities will agree. But, looking at those
ominous figures on vital production, all will agree that some
thing must be done soon. In the light of Mr. Ziff's book and
what we know of American preparation in England, it will be
interesting to learn, we hope soon, what that "something"
will be.
-o
"THE FARM BLOC"
Just for the record, it might be well to note that the "farm
bloc" in Washington that has been getting such well-deserved
criticism from people and the press by no means includes all
farm organizations, in fact represents only a small minority
of farmers. The current bulletin of the Farmers Union Grain
Terminal association makes this clear in a scathing rebuke to
the O'Neal-Smith organization. It is this group, it will be re
membered, that unsuccessfully attempted to block an FSA
appropriation for aid to tenant and small farmers and the bill
to sell 125,000,000 bushels of wheat for livestock feed at below
parity. Says the bulletin: "It is the home front on which every
battle since the revolution has been won . . . How can they
who are so blind to their own faults hope to see without blink
ing the faults they ascribe to men and women of the farm who
are striving, against odds, to better their condition and give
to the world finer and better young Americans?"
WHAT KISKA MAY MEAN TO MONTANA
A graphic, if alarming, illustration of how events and mili
tary movements thousands of miles from our doorsteps may
have an immediate bearing on our lives and businesses is given
in the current issue of the Montana Oil Journal, spokesman for
Montana producers and refiners.
Says that newspaper:
"This country has become very air-minded — so much so
that the real threat of the Japanese occupations is overlooked.
"The fact is that the occupied islands contain the two best
harbors in the entire Aleutian group . . . Furthermore the
American Legion Labor Day Rodeo

Fairgrounds at Glasgow
Two Big Days
a
7
Japanese are now halfway to Seattle, through their occupation
of the choice harbors of the Aleutians.
"The real threat of the Japanese occupation of the Aleutians
is SUBMARINES."
The articles goes on to show how relatively small submarines
based out of Kiska can serve to disrupt water travel along the
west coast just as thoroughly as the Germans have on the
east coast.
It then asks, "When California suppliers of water-borne pe
troleum are taken away from Oregon, Washington and Alaska,
what of the great war industries of the Pacific northwest?"
Neither tank car nor rail line facilities are adequate for south
north coastwise movements, it adds, and "The only other sources
of oil . . . are the fields of Montana and Wyoming, with five
transcontinental railways to haul oil."
Montana producers and refiners, it adds, saw these dangers
months ago and told the office of petroleum coordinator they
would formulate whatever plans that federal agency would
dictate. But nothing has been done, so far as any Montana oil
man knows, to avert or prepare for the same complications
that arose on the Atlantic coast.
The Oil Journal believes that the time has come for Montana
oil men to carry these facts to Washington and to help organ
ize, as a military measure, a plan to provide the Pacific north
west with petroleum products. Montana and Wyoming, alone,
cannot supply demands of the threatened area — not without
a development grogram and a well-planned one. Critics may
reply that the Aleutian scare may be nothing more than a
scare. That is possible, but better to be prepared for eventual
ities, the newspaper argues, than to throw a huge segment of
our defense effort into chaos. Thus, it may be, that Montana
may become the arsenal of another precious war need, just
it already has become one for some of our most vital metals
and alloys.
