basic ideas upon which we may agree
are important.
During the last five years there has
been a series of disturbances in all
countries and their monetary units
have been juggled about in battling
and harmful manner. In some Of the
countries the suspension of gold Day
ments and devaluation could not be
a.oided. In others. particularly the
United States, there was no real
necessity for the action and the long
run effects will almost certainly be
bad.
Nevertheless we must take up our
problems as they are. not as they
might have been. An understanding
has been reached between the gov
ernments of Great Britain. France
and the United States to attempt fu-
ture stability. So far, so good. and
we heartily approve. But. this is
merely a start. The understanding
is vague. AS matters now stand the
ultimate weight of the dollar is SUBJ
ject to further change. The weight
of the franc is still uncertain within
quite wide limits. And the British
have given no official hint as to the
ultimate weight of the pound. The
Dutch, the Swiss and others have. like
the British. made no promises.
This gives ample opportunity for
dispute. The one thing that Ameri-
cans may reasonably and urgently
demand is that our President shall
take no further important steps with
our monetary unit without the advice
of a carefully ~hosen body of the best
experts whom he can assemble. Too
much is involved. There should be no
hasty decisions based on the pleas of
any single group. We can all join in
asking for the appointment of
address questions to the an
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-11-13

monetary commission Of the best
minds that can be assembled.
Trade agreements between the UNI
ted States and fourteen other impor-
tant countries have been negotiated
and have become effective. Others
are contemplated. Now that the cleo
tons are over these agreements can
be discussed more calmly. They were
attacked in the Republican platform
and vigorously defended by the Adj
ministration. but any partisanship
that has been injected on either side
should now be abandoned. Agree
ments made and contemplated should
be examined purely on their merits.
Fortunately agreement is easy on
some points. One is that we are all
anxious that the volume of interna-
tional trade shall be enlarged. For
years it has been small. The reasons
have been numerous and most of them
have been worldwide so we should
waste no time in trying to apportion
blame. If we should do so we cannot
avoid placing some OF it on our own
government. But what is important
now is to get ahead.
Recently our own trade with other
countries has increased, Many have
been troubled because imports have
been growing more rapidly than ex-
ports and they fear the effect on some
of our own industries. Unquestion-
ably this should be closely watched.
However. critics should not forget
that this tendency is to be expected,
either with or without the trade
agreements. AS our foreign trade
expands this inward pressure is sure
to appear. So long as we are creditors
we cannot escape the fact that foreign
goods will tend to come to us in set
Element of obligations. Also the con-
slant uncertainty in Europe will mean
a continuing flow of funds to us.
Disturbances to domestic industry
that may come from this source are
not to be ignored but should be
analysed in their relation to other
matters. At least one influence will
be helpful, Business in general is on
the upgrade. Net earnings and profits
are growing. In many lines the effects
of foreign competition in our markets
are offset by gains in domestic de-
mand.
The stage is set for better times.
Many awkward problems are at hand
but the general outlook is bright.
This is gratifying. Our real task will
be to prevent the forward movement.
from becoming too rapid. If it does
we shall merely have to go through
a new set of misfortunes like those
from which we now seem to be hap
PLY emerging.

SPEED URGED
0NC0NGRESS

Back at his desk after his Today
vacation, President Roosevelt to-
day sought information on the
legislative program from congress
Sional leaders.
There were indications at the
White House the Executive would
urge more speed. Slow progress
on tax legislation in particular
points to a considerable delay in
adjournment, and with the cam
paign approaching, Administration
leaders want Congress to conclude
it's business and go home.
Several major posts left I'M
filled when Mr.. Roosevelt went
South were calling for attention.
One was the Assistant Secretary
ship of Navy left vacant by the
death of Col. Henry Roosevelt.
It had been reported that James
Moffett, former Federal Housing
Administrator, would be offered
the appointment. Moffett rode
from Port Everglades to Jackson
vile on the presidential special,
however, and left it stating quite
definitely he would not return to
Washington.
Meanwhile, the Executive
turned his attention today to an
other major political speech he is
scheduled to deliver Monday night
in Baltimore before the Young
Democrats.
Another campaign speech by
the President is scheduled on April

NEW RAIDS
ON WIRES
w. R. Hearst Upheld
BY Wheat in Fight
On "Snoopinq"

Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat,
in District of Columbia Supreme
Court, yesterday signed two formal
orders blocking further illegal con:
fiscation of private kilograms By
the Black senatorial committee.
The first order gave notice to
the Federal Communications
Commission that if it again aids
the committee in ranSacking files
of the telegraph companies for
private correspondence, the court
will put a prompt end to the
practice.
w. r. Hearst Upheld
This action was taken on de-
mand of William R n d olph
Hearst, who, through Attorney
Elisha Hanson, opposed this fla
gravity offensive and illegal
practice"
The second order permanently
enjoined the Western Union Tele"
graph Company from conforming
with further dragnet SubpoenaS
or other grappling-hook methods
of the Black committee, by which
it previously had turned over
copies of more than $4,000 pr"
vate kilograms to the Senate
proberS.
This ruling was demanded by
the Chicago law firm headed by
Silas Strawn after information
that the Black committee and
Communications Commission in
vestigatoro had looked over about
five million kilograms in the
reign of terror" campaign against
opponents of the Roosevelt admin
istration.
Court Accepts Promise
Yesterdays orders followed oral
arguments before the court. In
another case, the Chief Justice re-
fused to enjoin use of seized tele-
grams by the Black committee on
the ground his court had no juriS-
diction over a committee Of the
Cenate.
Hanson will appeal to the Su-
preme Court if necessary in order
to obtain court jurisdiction over
the committee, as well as the COM
mission.

BID COLLISION
SEEN BY ICKES

Coincidence is always startling.
Or maybe this strange case is
proof Of the powers Of mental
telepathy.
But Interior Secretary Ickes was
not one to wonder at the similarity
between 20 separate bids from 20
separate companies for insulated
cable for the Boulder Dam power
house.
He snorted at the identical bids
Of $111,208.75, with identical dis
counts of $556.O4 and identical
credits to make the delivered cost
$104, 484.31 in each instance.
Said the Secretary:
''VVhen 20 companies in cities
as far apart as Los Angeles,
Denver and Boston submit
identical bids, there is prima
facie evidence of collision. No.
person is so naive as to believe
this is coincidence or even
friendly collaboration"
He accepted the bid of the COM
pany farthest from the dam. He
said his choice was made with a
desire that additional employment
would be opened by transporting
the material to the SITE"

Meanwhile, the startling de-

demand for a sweeping inquiry
into all Federal relief agencies.
Capitol Hill was amazed by

In it, Johnson charged money was
being Squandered on policies
adopted through "ill-informed
DOGMA" and that thousands of
needy persons were being denied
relief.
Publication Of the report pro-
voked a bipartisan demand for
Senate inquiries into both the
