Perhaps there are those who expected
from the President some expression of

Ever since we won the war which
was fought to make the world safe
for democracy, we have seen autocracy
growing by. leaps and bounds. In each
and every instance, the development of
autocratic power. has been accom-
plished by the curtailing of the free
dom of the press. So long as this pre-
cious privilege of democracy is pre-
served in America, we need have no
fear concerning the preservation of
constitutional government against all
enemies from the extreme left or the
extreme right. That is why all ques-
tons involving the freedom of the
press ought to be clarified as rapidly
as they arise.

1t is almost impossible to read the
record in this extraordinary case with
out concluding that the real motive
back of it was political. The charge
was made that Mr.. Mellon had at
tempted to defraud the Government.
In effect, branding him as tax dodger
and a crook, the Attorney General,
supported by the Secretary of the
Treasury, tried to secure criminal
indictment from grand jury. 1t was
charged by Mr.. Mellon-and the facts
bore out the charge-that he was not
accorded the same treatment as other
taxpayers and to which he was en-
titled under the rules. The usual notice
of deficiency was not given him; he
had no chance to file protest and was
not accorded a hearing. 81 want"
said Mr.. Mellon on May 4, 1884, "uo
adjustment of my taxes not entirely
within my legal rights. But, most
important of all, want an end put to
the long campaign of vilification that
has been carried on and my name
cleared of the unwarranted charges
the Attorney General has brought
against me-" On another occasion he
said, 81 would rather spend my re-
naming days in Jail than submit to
such tyranny"

Unfortunately there have come
from men high in the New Deal, on
more than one occasion, rather bitter
criticism of a great portion Of the
American press. No doubt this has
been due in great part to chagrin over
the fact that the great majority of
the metropolitan newspapers have OPP
posed the New Deal. In a recent adj
dress in Congress on the question of
the governments relations with the
press, Congressman Fred l.. Craw-
ford, of Michigan, refers to what he
calls the faction of the Treasury De-
partment in tossing it's head in the air
and ignoring newspapers when it de-
cided to engage in an advertising cam
paign." Continuing he declared that

Of course there is no apparent rela-

herein set out. But they do go to
show the general completely of the
situation at this time. 1t would seem
that a general clearing of the atmos-

not be inadvisable.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS
By FRANK P. LITSCHERT

1t is interesting to note how fire.
quently the question of the freedom of
the press has appeared in American
publications recently. Perhaps this is
because of jittery feeling among the
American people due to the suppress
sion of the freedom of the press in
such important countries as Russia,
Italy and Germany. The question of
freedom of the press was mentioned
prominently in the discussion of the
newspaper code of the NRA when the
editors and publishers resisted strenu-
ously and successfully certain pro-
posed provisions in the code which
they claimed might affect their con-
stitutional rights.

Friends of the board claim they are
not attempting to coerce the press nor
abridge it's freedom but have sought
merely to follow the authority of Con-
gress devolving on it in making in
quiries. This may be true, but in any
event in the present sensitive'st state of
public opinion it would seem to be-
hoove the board to tread rather care
fully in avoiding anything which may
resemble abridging the freedom of the
press. Perhaps clear statement of
policy by the board, outlining its pro-
cedure and assuring the press against
any attempt to subvert its lights,
might go a long ways toward clearing
the air. x = +''

The Mellon Vindication.
By FRANK r. KENT

The Mellon VindicatiOn -
1t, of course, makes no difference to
Mr.. Mellon now, but it does seem, That
the Administration officials, resaon-.
sible for the criminal proceedings
against him, recently declared wholly
unfounded by the United States Board
of Tax Appeals, would want to make
some sort of public apology before the
whole episode is forgotten.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1937-12-16

Though the grand jury refused to
indict Mr.. Mellon and the Government
had to drop it's criminal charges, it
pursued to the bitter end its case for
the recovery of more than $3,000,OOO
in taxes claimed. Now, three months
after his death and three Years after
the charges were made, the Govern
ment's own tribunal vindicates Mr..
Mellon of any fraudulent intent and
reduces the amount of taxes in ques-
ton to 0,000-and that is disputed
The real point is that he is acquitted
wholly of any suspicion of dishonesty,
and that is the thing that ought to
make the men who emphasized the
criminal side of the charges feel
ashamed. Certainly, neither the At
torney General nor the Secretary of
the Treasury can be proud Of the part
they had in this persecution. 1t was
evident to every discriminating per-
son at the time that the criminal
charges against Mr.. Mellon fitted in
with the Administration political
strategy of arousing class feeling in
the country. And it should have been
evident to everyone able to think at all
that even if Mr.. Mellon were utterly
destitute of decency, he would hardly
be fool enough to be dishonest about
his income tax.
To believe that. an 80-year old man,
who was busy giving away millions OF
dollars and who had so many millions
that they had ceased to have any
meaning for him, would stoop to that
kind of stupidity was to believe that
he and his lawyers were not only
crooked but crazy. Yet the fact is
that because of the Administration
propaganda and ballyhoo in presenting
the charges, undoubtedly good many
unthinking people did think Mr.. Mel
Ion guilty.

Of more recent date has been the
mention of freedom of the press in
connection with the National Labor
Relations Board. 1t has been charged
by some of the boards critics that in
availing itself of the powers granted
it by Congress to tissue subpoenas,
requiring the attendance and testi-
mony of witnesses, and the production
of any evidence that relates to any
matter under investigation or in ques-
ton before the board" the NLRB has
come close to infringing on some of
the rights of free press. The criti-
cism is that the board has probed in
to the source of newspaper material,
authorship of editorials, ETC., and has,
in such manner disciplined at least
small town editor who has printed an
editorial critical of the board.

an entirely fictitiously high figure,
il the world price is considered. So
no bank examiner can come snoop-
ing around and make unpleasant
reports, or talk about receivers, if
the Treasury chooses to carry its
eleven billion odd dollars of gold
holdings at s35 an ounce, after it
has actually dropped say to $50 an
ounce on the world market.
A shrewd Canadian banker on a
visit to Washington agreed with Mr..
Edie's statement that the specula-
tors all over the world have already
discounted a reduction in the dol
lar price of gold, but added that he
did not know what step the United
States government could take which
would stop the flow of the yellow
metal to this country.
Would Increase Flow
IF you should reduce the price
to $50 tomorrow" he said. Il am
sure it would increase rather than
diminish the flow The spectators
in London and Paris would at once
assume that this was merely the
first step. So they would hurry to
sell their gold to the United States
before the price should be further
reduced.
IF you follow the other course
suggested. and boost the charge for
handling the gold from nine cents,
the present figure. say to $3.50.
which has been suggested, it would
not stop your imports. The foreign
spectators would assume here also
that this was just the first step, and
would hurry to get under the wire
before any further cut in the net
price they were receiving.
1.-The handling fee seems the most
satisfactory way out fer other rea-
sons, however, for that would not
compel the Treasury to mark dowr
the value of its gold holdings. II
could go on paying s35 an ounce for
gold mined in the United States and
put a heavy handling charge or any
imported gold. Thus the Treasury
could maintain the fiction that its
gold was still worth s35 an ounce
There would be no test, because I'm
