Total Defense Plan
Outlines Economy
For All Americas
Public Affairs Councils
Program Would Go
Far Beyond CorteI
BY BLAIR BOLLES.

Inc American Council on Pub
lie Affairs today made public its
manifesto, Total Defense" on
which President Roosevelt is re-
ported to have based his program
for the American trading cartel.
The manifesto offers in complete
outline q blueprint for a proposed
American economic union, inclu-
sive of Canada, providing for United
States development of Latin Amer
ican nations internal economy and
a complete abandonment of any
practice Of laissez-faire In the in
ternational economic field.
Urging steps far beyond the trad
ing scheme alone, the 15-pa2e
pamphlet points the way to large
scale corporation by the United
States in opening up the latent
commercial possibilities of all the
American countries by developing
those countries Internally in a way
that will raise their standards OF
living and vastly improve their
economies.
At the core of the whole program
lies the thought that without the
development of great American
policy, the United States will have
to lower its standards Of existence
for the sake Of single-handed COM
petition with Germanicized Eu-
rope.
seven-Point Policy Urged.
In summary, this manifesto, pre-
pared by Charles Beard, the noted
American historian and liberal
writer, urges this seven-point pol
icy, ambitious beyond any pro-
posals ever made for the United
States:
l. Military defense is not enough;
the well-being of our people and
our Pan-American neighbors must
be secured.
2. We are faced with the posi-
bility of an migrated and centrally
controlled economy in Europe rep
resenting approximately 4O0, ,0OO, 900
people. Should such an ECONOMY
be established, the non-controlled
economies will lose out in the COM
petition with 1t in the two fields in
which powers compete: foreign trade
and ornaments.
3. We must be in position to
protect, not only ourselves. but also
those areas from which we import
the goods which are vital for our
impregnability in war and our pros
perity in peace. All strategic needs
of the United States, or substitutes
for them, are either obtainable or
can be developed in the Western
Hemisphere.
4. Foreign trade must be conduct
ed as a matter of national interest.
The balance between imports and
exports should not be calculated in
currency, but in terms of the value
to national welfare of the prod
ucts involved.
Would Purchase All Exports.
S. Without awaiting the outcome
Of the war. we should Immediately
purchase all the exports OF the re-
publics in this hemisphere.
6. Ample military and naval pro-
lection should be provided for the
New World.
7. A cooperative program with all
the countries in the Western Hemi-
sphere should be developed, includ-
ing: S..
An inter-American trading corpo-
ration to exchange surpluses for i'm
ports needed by the countries of this
hemisphere; distribution of goods
to needy people in all American

A few weeks later, during an
audience, the Pope said to Mr..

Mr.. Cortesi stammered the ex-

When the earthquake and tidal
wave at CalaDrla, Italy, one OF tne
worlds greatest disasters, wiped out
100000 persons, Mr.. Cortesi clam
bered out of sick bed to cover the
story. Two years before, in the

great difficulties in "a hours. Mr..

But he consented to an A. p

was printed in virtually every paper

Modernizing the news report was
only one phase Of Mr.. Cooper's di-

Mr.. Cooper was a younger man
and when he became general man

was to urge factual but colorful
stories on occurrences of less mo-
ment but more human interest.
Got Story About Coolidge.
He initiated a series of personality
stories on prominent people and
encountered no difficulties until 1t
came to President Coolidge.
In an effort to break down the
Vermonter's granite resistance to
personal publicity, Cooper, lunching
at the White House one day, raised
the point that because the public
did not know Mr.. Coolidge init
mately, all kinds of outlandish
stories were going around about him
AS an extreme example, Mr.. Coop

BY 1925 the idea did not seem
so ridiculous, but there was still
a lot of tolerant head-wagging
