Bill to Be Passed Permitting
Reproduction. Of Stamps
Cromwell
Book StirS
Controversy

The recent appearance and
testimony before the Senate
Committee on Agriculture, Of
James H. R. Cromwell! one
of the co-authors of I'm De-
tense of Capitalism" has had
the effect of focusing public at
tention upon him and his views
on monetary control as given in
his book and also in his testi-
mony before the Senate COM
mittee.
Mr.. Cromwell's criticisms Of
the bill under considerations
bill introduced by Senator
Thomas of Oklahoma "for the
regulation and sterilization Of
the value of the dollar"-were
a bit startling to some Of the
Staid members of this Senate
committee who are still thinking
and talking about economic
problems in terms Of money and
prices without any recognition
of the fact that money, apart
from its role as a distributory
agent for goods and services, is
both valueless and meaningless.
HARD NUT TO CRACK
The first defect of the
Thomas bill pointed out by Mr..
Cromwell was its failure to "di-
vorce the dollar from gold or
gold production for internal
use-not external-in domestic
economy"
This was something of a
hard nut to crack for such a
stalwart supporter of "bimetal-
ism" as the Oklahoma Sena-
tor, although for the most part
he and Senator Frazier Of
North Dakota appeared more
in accord with Mr.. Cromwell'S
economic philosophy than the
other members of the Senate
Committee on Agriculture.
To the Southern business
men-delegates from the Cot
ton States-Sitting around the
committee table. who had
come to ask for "a Govern
ment loan to stiffen cotton
prices" the Cromwell monetary
preachments were uttered in
an unknown tongue.
THE BOOKS MESSAGE
ITO make the flow of dollars
commensurate with, and syn
chronous with, the flow of fin
ished consumer goods" there
by balancing production with
consumption, is the net pur-
port and chief message of the
book I'm Defense of Capital
ISM; and any ardent believer
of the system as is, who rushed
to find new reasons for
their faith in its perusal, must
have felt dismally disappointed.
Indeed, some of its review
ers in the reactionary press,
expressed their disappointment
in declaring the title of this
book a misnomer-that it was
more an ATTACK" than a ode
tense" of capitalism.

A new wrinkle in Government
employee organizations has devel-
oped in the U. S. Forest Service,
and in some of its features it has
all of the earmarks of a company
union.
AS a matter of fact one of the
foresters employed in the service
makes the charge of company
unionism in connection with the
organization.
A "confidential' service bulletin,
which really has no reason to be
confidential at all is the source
of our information, but C. ]. Con.
over, an assistant supervisor and
one of the principal proponents of
the new organization, is quite
frank in explaining its aims and
purpose.
DENIES CHARGES
First of all he denies that the
organization smacks of company
unioniSm.
Conover explains that IS per
cent of the Forest Service Workers
who have voted are in favor of the
proposed organization. The SET
up, he indicates, would elect q
group" of five. which would act
as a grievance committee to take
up employe matters with the
chiefs.
He admits that the organization
would take over many functions
of union, but indicates that
many of the employees do not want

organization to look after the vel
fare of its members.
Another argument advanced ii
defense of the plan is that such
an organization operated very sue
cesSfully some years ago.

unions, Mr.. Foster says that under
certain conditions the proposed
organization may prove helpful

Opposed to
Measure
BY CHARLES A. KENNY

Washington Times stamp Editor
After a long-drawn-out series
of conferences the bill to permit
newspapers and periodicals to
print black-and.white illustra-
lions of United States postage
stamps will be passed by the
House before adjournment Of
the present session.
This measure is the same bill
passed in the Senate last Satur.
day.
The original House bill was
tabled in favor Of the Senate
measure. One important item
in the House bill was the fact
that newspapers were not in.
cluded in the list of legitimate
publications where the reproduc-
ton of United States stamps
would be permitted.
FOUGHT BY TREASURY
The passing of the bill by the
Senate last Saturday was a COM
rlete surprise to the Secret Ser.
vice division of the Treasury,
which was dead set against such
a measure and which attempted
to block passage. No dissenting
dissenting vote in either the
vote in either the House is ex-
pected.
The bill, which was favorably
received by the Senate Commit
tee on Post Offices and Post
Roads, was introduced jointly
by Senators Hayden, of Arizona,
and Duffy, Of Wisconsin.
IMPORTANT SECTION
The following is the most i'm
portant section of the docu-
ment:
Notwithstanding any other
provision of law, the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, subject
to the approval of the PreSi.
dent, may, upon finding that
no hindrance to the suppress.
sion of counterfeiting and no
tendency to bring into disre-
pute any obligation or other
security Of the United States
will result, by regulations, per-
init, to the extent and under
such conditions as he, may
deem appropriate, the print
ing, publishing or importation
of the necessary plates for
such printing or publishing,
for philatelic purposes in ar.
ticles, books, journals, news
papers, or albums dncluding
the circulars or advertising
literature of legitimate dealers
in stamps or publishers of or
dealers in philatelic or his.
torical articles, books, jour-
mails, or albums, of black and
white illustrations of cancelled
or uncancelled United States
postage stamps.
1.-THE Secretary, subject to
the approval of the President,
may amend or repeal such
regulations at any time. Such
regulations and any amend
ments of repeal thereof shall
become effective upon publ.
cation thereof in the Fed
eral Register or upon such
date as may be specified there
in if later than the date of
publication. All findings Of
fact made hereunder shall be
final and conclusive and shall
not be subject to review"
EXTENSIVE FARLEY
In the report, the committee
proposes that this legislation is
designed to permit legitimate
illustration Of United States
and foreign postage stamps,
without endangering the laws
against counterfeiting.
The bill was drafted only
after extensive conferences be-
tween the Committee and
Post Office and Treasury Of.
ficialS.
The bill also provides for the
reproduction of foreign postage
and revenue stamps with the
former so reproduced without
DETACHMENT, and the latter SO
produced so that they are not
adapted or intended for use as
stamps.
