New World Sighted
There can be no peace until there can be plenty—
not just here and these, but evenly over the globe. Yet
the three-thousand-year-old prophecy of Isaiah will
come to pass: “And they shall beat their swords into
plow-shares and their spears into pruning hooks: Na
tion shall not lift up sword against nation. Neither shall
they learn war any more.”
These are the beliefs of a noted industrialist as ex
pressed in what may well turn out to be the most memor
able commencement address of our time. In his remarks
to the graduating class of the Montana School of Mines,
at Butte. Mont.. Board Chairman Boy H. Glover of
'The Anaconda Company, reduced the world’s needs to
their lowest common denominators —water and power;
and the wars of the world to the unending struggle be
tween the haves and the have-nots.
Probably the most frustrating of the elements ।
with which mankind must contend, also the most plenti
ful, and that is water.” Mr. Glover cited the “puny ef
forts” that have thusfar brought fertility to ‘ comparativ
ely insignificant portions of the arid areas of the earth”,
and the water shortage so generally threatened by ever
increasing population. Our immeasurable supplies are
unfortunately in the salty underground seas and in the
oceans “which nature has heretofore distributed so ca
priciously to favored areas through the uncontrollable
process of evaporation, rain and snow”.
These waters, says Mr. Glover, “can be made
sweet”. But the task requires limitless power and energy
available at the places where it needs to be utilized”. He
sees the answer in “that dreaded power of the Hiro
shima bomb, nuclear energy”.
“The future of nuclear energy. . through control
led thermonuclear reaction is as limitless as the oceans
of the world. The natural twins of thermonuclear re
action and saline water conversion can completely
change men’s concept of the inhabitable areas of the
earth and of its resources and of the relationship of man
to man and nation to nation.”
Utilization of this unlimited power, Mr. Glover
points out. could provide ample fresh water to arid lands
anywhere. The nations could stop wasting life and re
sources in conquest over traditionally fertile areas, and
make their own deserts bloom instead.
“Thus,,” he predicts, “research, industry and the
peaceful application of those forces which are now dread
ed for their destructive potentialities can and prabably
will take the place of conquest and war.”
But this requires us to avoid global suicide in the
meantime.
o
Just One Headstone
Why is it so difficult to cut the federal budget?
One reason is described by editor Tom Anderson of
Farm and Ranch magazine in these words: “Most con
greemen favor a budget-cut graveyard in which there
is only one headstone, epitaphed: ‘Spending outside my
state.” They are all for economy—so long as it’s con
fined to another member’s state or constituency.
Fortunately, there are exceptions. For instance,
the budget contains a proposal to build a $4,900,000
stadium in Cleveland, Onio, for the Pan-American
games. Senator Lausche of Ohio announced his opposi
tion to this, saying: “The Federal budget must be cut.
I cannot support for Ohio something I would oppose
in another state.”
If the people—the voters and taxpayers —showed
more enthusiastic support for that kind of attitude we’d
soon see a cut of billions in the budget.

sentiment that
instead of giv-
Ing away
no m 1 c aid,
loans should be
made Instead,
and that mili-^c.wnt»rder
tary aid should be handled by
the defense department.
* e •
Now the question of economic
aid more or less seems to boil
down to this basis. Are the Amer
ican taxpayers supposed to sub
mit to ten or more years of
shelling out under the name of
foreign aid a global dole. Or is
foreign economic aid to be con
sidered as helping finance build
ing up undeveloped economies?
If the latter, then it follows that
there’is expectation of a profit
from these developments.
« * *
If that be true, then the ques
tion is asked, should not those
nations seeking help come to the
IT. S. with a business proposition
much as any American business
man goes to a bank for a loan?
And should not the approach be
made to private capital?

Probably England, for exam
ple, with its record of defaults
on loans from the U. S., would
have a hard time selling a pro
gram to private enterprises. On
other hand. Finns would probab
ly not encounter much difficulty.

YELLOWSTONE NEWS
Senators James E. Murray and
Mike Mansfield. Montana's self
styled liberal senators, are busy In
Washington trying to explain their
team-up with that group of South
ern Democrats who opposed civil
rights legislation.
Last week, when a showdown
came in the senate, Eisenhower’s
civil rights legislation moved ahead
in spite of the team-up of a few
Northern liberals with the Southern
conservatives. Reports in Washing
ton immediately indicated that the
conservative Southerners had prom
ised Senator Wayne Morse and the
other liberals support in passing
the Democrat-sponsored bill to
build a government-financed big
dam in the Hells Canyon region on
the Oregon-Idaho border in return
for the help the Southerners re
ceived on civil rights.
Senator Mansfield has spoken out
by saying there was no deal. Yet
the well-informed and alert Port
land Oregonian stated editorially on
Saturday, June 22, “But speaking
of conduct which involves political
or business morality, what is one
to think of Senator Morse’s con
duct in abdicating his long-standing
and high-sounding position on civil
rights and foreign aid to obtain
Southern Democratic votes for his
Hells Canyon bill? Senator Morse
has been drumming into our ears
for so long his dedication to “prin
ciple” that this must come as a
shock to some of his supporters. He
has been cuddling up to the new
isolationists of the South for some
time. And his fight with the South
to kill the Elsenhower administra
tion’s civil rights bill by sending it
t o Senator Eastland’s judiciary
committee was a flagrant horse
trade for votes for his Hells Can
yon bill.” (The move was defeated
45 to 39, but Eastland has now pro
mised a filibuster.)
What the Oregonian has said
about Morse, seems to fit our own
senators, too. Apparentley when a
choice had to be made between
civil lights and more governmental
spending, our own senators chose

purpose of developing the econ
omy of their colonies. Surely,
some profit is expected from
these developments. And surely.
If there Is good faith, security
could be given that would not
require the presence of a V. 8.
fleet to guarantee it.
Actually, with the announce
ment of the British “New Look”

forces are to be pulled down to
what amounts to an electronic
home defense, defense of British
possessions has now become al
most solely job of the U. S.

So the British have worked out
a cosy little scheme. Unless the
U. 8. gives money to develop
these colonies, the restless na
tives will turn to communism.
But if they do turn to commu
nism, the U. S. Navy and Air
Force will be the only instru
ment left in the world to keep
Russia from moving in.

Therefore, freeing themselves
from the costs of defending these
possessions, and with U. S. tax
dollars creating a wealthier econ
omy in these colonies, the Brit
ish are in a position to sit back
and make greater and greater
profits, at least the great British
owned monopolies will do so.

GLENDIVE DAILY RANGER
Here is an interesting item on
teenaged law violators that comes
from the Equality state to our
Riverton, Wyo.—Fremont coun
ty teenagers caught violating the
law no longer will enjoy the priv
ilege of having their names with
held from newspapers.
“If some of the teenagers are
going to assume the privileges of
adults, they must be prepared to
assume the consequences adults
face for violating the law,” Coun
ty Atty. G. L. Spence warned.
He made the announcement
after five Riverton High School
girls showed up at class intoxi
cated after a mid-day drinking
spree.
Spence said from now on no
efforts will be made by his office
to keep names of minors out of
the papers when they violate the
law, adding “I think we’ve been
paying too little attention to pun
ishment of the kids themselves.”
Spence said one girl admitted
stealing a bottle of vodka from a
companion's boy friend. The girls
went to a local drive-in at noon,
bought mix and drank the liquor,
returning to class intoxicated.
What do you think?
There is ever Increased thinking
along this line that the names of
teenaged law violators should be us
ed in newspapers.
The hope is that such publicity
will'act as a restraining influence,
that violators who known full well
what they are doing shouldn’t be
able to hide behind their age, and
get protection from publicity.

FORSYTH INDEPENDENT
These are the days of big money
—big payrolls, big business volumes,
and, oh to be sure—big taxes. So
there’s no need to complain. We’ve
done enough of that in the past.
Now we’re just going to sit back
and watch the show.
Money Is apparently no object In
the construction of the Super high
way. We could very well complain
about what appears to be imprac
ticabilities, but the money will be
spent in Europe if they don’t spend
it in thia country. So It’s going to
be spent.
Near as we know now, there will
be approximately four bridges and
an equal number of railroad over
passes In the area between Mlles
City and Custer. Any one of these
jobs would require the expenditure
of roughly a half million state dol
lars, but for a super job the figure
will probably be way above that.
Here In our little town of For
syth the highway picture will be
something like this. We already
have Highways 10-12 and Highway
6 starts in Forsyth. The Super road
