He tried to dissuade the leader, a determined sort of man, and remarked pessimistically that he would give a thousand dollars if he ever saw an ear of corn grown in Salt Lake valley; The emigrants moved on, and a hundred years ago, on July 24, 1847, Brigham Young looked out across a seared and desolate land of sagebrush and alkali, and said: This is the place! One lone tree clung to life in the entire valley. Heat waves danced and hot breaths of air came up the canyon. If there were inward doubts among his followers, none is recorded. Obediently the band moved into the desert. ' Mormon Convert. Brigham Young was a native of Vermont and of Revolutionary ancestry. He had become a convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints, the Mormon church.

Utah, once a formidable desert now teems with populous cities and thriving villages. Once parched and burned ground has been changed to green fields, gardens and orchards. Paved highways, airlines and several transcontinental railroads provide transportation. What wonders a hundred years have wrought! This year every city and hamlet in Utah is, preparing a celebration. They will celebrate the centennial of the arrival of Mormon pioneers. Less than 75 per cent of the people are now Mormons, but all will join in that celebration regardless of creed. The building of Utah was the opening of the West. It was an epoch in American history. Salt Lake and Flats Lure Tourists, Industries, Racers There is no need to sink a shaft to find salt in Utah. It is mined on top of the ground where it lies many feet deep on the shores of Great Salt lake and in famous Bonneville salt flats. Naturally the state is a large producer of both common salt and 22 to 27 per cent. The lake is 4,200 feet above sea level and has no known outlet, except evaporation. It is 80 miles long and from 20 to 32 miles wide. Great Salt Lake has several fine beaches.

The Soviets certainly have been belligerently aggressive in Iran, have swallowed up Latvia, Esthonia and Lithuania, and their Communists pride themselves on being politically aggressive throughout Europe and Asia, as do their delegates in U. N. Acheson also said Soviet policy was "expanding," which means enlarging, swelling, spreading out" Anyone who claims it is not would do violence to the plain facts, which are no secret to any adult American. Russian foreign policy is thoroughly in accord with world communism, which is bent on world conquest.

Yet certainly Stalins propaganda is designed to make all walk a straight and narrow path as Russia directs and to soften our officials into a frightened tenderness. Having attacked the religious American and peace-minde-d delegate, John Foster Dulles, as a war monger, the Russian government officially sent a note declaring State Undersecretary Acheson to be rudely slanderous and "hostile toward the Soviet union" for having said simply this: Russias foreign policy is an aggressive and expanding one." Acheson did not volunteer this comment. He offered what the Soviets call "inadmissible behavior under questioning by a committee on the Lilien-thappointment It may be inad missible for anyone to speak out in Russia, but in a democracy it is paramountly necessary for a government official to answer frankly the questions of congress. acres of white salt stretch on either side of the paved highway which crosses the area. The flats are so level that many automobile speed records have been made on them. Ab Jenkins, former mayor of Salt Lake City and famed race driver, prefers the flats to all other courses, claim-in- g the salt keeps rubber tires cooler than a dirt or board track. The flats also are notable for their mirages. NO MYSTERY However, this is not the general studied viewpoint of the close followers of Soviet technique. Russia does not bother much about reason, only about reasons. Her motives are less a mystery to the new mill-tar- y regime than to the old Byrnes political crowd. I think the average impres-- . sion here is that Stalin (through has really outdone Molotov) himself this time in stretching his professed willingness to be offended at the slightest murmur. He has reduced his pres- -' sures to absurdity. The . old Roosevelt crowd used to consider Stalins sensitivity as an inferiority complex. This theory held some weight until evil dences of the Russian super!- ority complex accumulated in denial of it after the war. Personally I think Stalin learned diplomacy from Hitler. You will recall Hitler was alternately frightening the world and being offended by it, and his technique brought him many things he wanted. That game somehow has worn out. People are familiar with it, particularly military people. They are less inclined to fall into whatever pattern of action the dictators try to chase them. Words and politics annoy them. They want to know the facts and they want to act on the facts. In view of this maintenance of realism, what the state department and General Marshall in his official note responding to the Russian protest have said publicly about the incident, is really only a part of what they actually think. .
