Never have they been so alert to the peril, not only to themselves, but to civilization. Young people, especially, seem to take a keen interest in the crisis. The boys vision themselves at the front ami the girls themselves as moping at home.

If America is drawn into another catastrophe, it will not enter with its eyes closed. It might be worth while to BO back over the files and show, step by step, how we have reached this point by a chain of events that inevitably brought us to the brink. But it has been only within the last year or so that the man in the street gave heed. Ten years ago--perhaps the files would show it was farther back--observers began to set the crisis as between 1938 and 1942. A survey of such surmises probably would show a majority fixing the spring of 1941 as Armageddon, although as things are, no assurance has much value.

The signing of the Treaty of Versailles must hive given a host of those who i a fair guess at the date. For the Treaty of Versailles could have but one result, another war. Peace without victory, as Wilson promised it and as Wilson strove to set it up. might have averted all this. But the politicians who outvoted him had to have their way.

Now they learn that Premier Chamberlain Is a i i Edward I--a sort of Black Vrcmier. PENSION PLANS FAIL The American Public Welfare association notes that old-age pension legislation failed to find much favor with legislatures this year, that the fallacy of extreme measures was recognized in the various assemblies. In Montana, the recent session of the legis- a down several old-age pension bills. It was the same in most other gatherings in the face of a flood of measures offered. On the countrary there was a tightening up.

Washington and Utah, for example, now provide that pensions shall be i i to those "actually in need," the former state also making $30 the maximum, instead of i i monthly grant. Maine has put a halt to aged persons transferring property to others in order to become eligible. A few states, the association finds, enacted specific taxes to finance pension payments. Others made changes such as reducing residence requirements, permitting persons in public institutions to a increasing the amount of property allowed an applicant and deferring collection of taxes on property of beneficiaries i their death. But liberalization in the way of more and bigger grants has been i almost completely to legislative memorials to Congress.

That body snowed its views a few days ago when the House decisively defeated the Townsend pension plan bill. death.

GOOD REARING JOB The ichthyological epicure--in fact, any good 'ish eater in Montana--will tell you that there no finer morsel than the graying. Montanans are some of the few fortunate persons who can enjoy that prime fish, fo'r it is only three or sections of this continent. But this state a grayling catch is not so common as it used to be for the reason that fish cultur- sts were unable to rear grayling to sizes vhere they could survive in the streams. At one those experts could bring grayling only the "fry" stage in the hatcheries and when they were released they were prey for larger fish. A few years ago Charles Fuqua, superintendent of the U.

S. Bureau of fisheries station at Bozeman, discovred how to rear grayling to a length of six inches. Last week when 38,800 of these almost extinct game fish were released Montana waters there was completed the argest planting of grayling larger than fingering size in the history of fish culture. This, of course, is good news to the angler, 'or there are now i prospects for grayling fishing in the near future after some lean fears. Mr.

a for his research and success rearing them, deserves the thanks of all of sportsmen, who like to catch them. The planet Neptune hai only one moon. Sort of monogamic, what? BUSINESS GOOD, REGARDLESS Business in al! lines continues to show increases over the comparative figures for 193( This is all the more remarkable when impediments to recovery--on the industrial and legislative front--are assayed. If the obstacles to business improvement could be removed the prosperity barometer might easily soar more rapidly than the mercury will this summer. Business cannot thrive on reform legislation nor on industrial strife When these handicaps exist and the industria and commercial indexes still show grains, oiu.

Ludwig Lore, foreign commentator in The New York Post, in touching upon the elevation of a fascist dictator in Bolivia, says the Stat Department in Washington is keeping "ai anxious eye" on the Latin republic.

It would not be especially pleasing were President Her man Busch to permit nazi machinations to flourish on his soil. That Berlin has plans of that sort, as regards South American points scarce a doubt remains. Busch is said to favor the model of Mussolin rather than that of Hitler. The only interest to us lies in that any of the southern republic? should incline to either of these models. Busch is taking a firm stand against opposition.

MORE IRON LUNGS Just about a year ago a 14-year-old Helena lad, Jackie Warren, lingered at death's door from a collapsed lung.

Only that new contrivance of medical science, the iron lung, could save him, doctors agreed. One of them was rushed here from Fargo and Jackie was placed it. Today the doughty boy is fast rccuperat- ng from a long and serious illness. From his plight came a move to secure an iron lung for use in Helena or in any other place where a sufferer needed it. Lewis and Clark post of the American Legion began campaign to secure funds.

i i a week it lad been oversubscribed and shortly an iron ung had reached the city. Since then several other Montana cities have jurchased those precious life-savers. Livings- ion is the latest to order one. Soon there will DC iron lungs at strategic points in the state, every one at the disposal of a community where some day they say save a life.

The league figures show that In 1929 aggregate exports attained the record figure of 132,617,000.000. It will bfl noted a there la a lack of balance as 'between Importa and exports. The nations imported a greater value of goods than they exported. This la accounted for hy gold movements or other Invisible factors.

The aggregate exports reached a low ot only 511.215.000,000 In 1934. In 1937 there a recovery to hut last vear saw a drop to 13.356.000.000.
