Club Hears
Financial
Discussion
DIR. AchesOn Gives
Views to Group
{ At Y. w. c.. A.

An American corporation, organ
ized to hold British direct invest
ments in the United States and to
issue bonds against them as COL
lateral for the purchase of arma-
rnents was suggested yesterday by
DR.. Edward C. Acheson as first
step in breaking the Anglo-Ameri-
can fl. ancial impasse.
DR.. Acheson, associate professor
of finance at George Washington
University, addressed the Twentieth
Century Club at the Y. w. c. A.
Posing the dual question of the
wisdom of present British financing
and the techniques which are being
employed he declared: ITO ask for
loans while still holding salable as
sets appears to the layman, at least.
to verge on tactleSsness."
Clarification Needed.
The British, he added, have neg
lected to impress sufficiently upon
the American mind that the differ
ence between 81 ,000, 100000 in direct
Investment, in real estate, buildings
and such, was actually whole light
years away from s1,0OO,OOO,000 in
cash"
IF the British had to liquidate
their direct investments tomorrow, >
DR.. Acheson asserted, "the amount
realized would be only a fraction
of the book value. The Americans
would get a fantastic and bitter
bargain simply by taking advantage
of the sellers desperation and the
British would receive pennies in
stead of dollars with which to buy
arms
But if the direct investments
we're pledged against bonds" he
continued, the purchasing power
would be available Immediately and
in the event that liquidation became
necessary the whole life of the
bonds, 10, 20 and 80 years would
certainly provide sufficient time to
realize without great loss on the
properties pledged"
Commissioners Praised.
The club voted to commend the
District Commissioners for includ
ing the salary of an additional case
worker at Gallinger Hospital in the
District budget. 1t also adopted a
resolution in sympathy with the
proposed establishment of a
psychiatric clinic in the District.

|. The Advance was an English
built passenger steam er, the Lord
Clyde. and at the time 81 purchase
was in service between Dublin and
Glasgow. The ship was noted for her
speed The state bought the ship for
$4,000 and recOnditioned her for
carrying cotton and other was sup
plies. She would hold 500 Dales of
cotton and carry double supply Of
coal. Her first run into the Port Of
Wilmington was in the Spring Of
1868. Governor Vance met her down
the river and came back aboard.
After the ship had made five trips
one half interest in her was sold for
$4,000. Welsh hard coal was used,
because it produced very little smoke.
While making ready for what was
her last trip as d blockade runner
her supply of Welsh coal was taken
by Confederate cruiser, which fore
ed her to use North Carolina soft
coal. This slowed down her speed and
the soft coal gave off so much smoke
that her position was given away TO
the Union WarShips, and her capture
was effected.

legged over all other commercial en-
terprSes, to be sure, which is as it
should and must be if the rest Of the

Note of Calm
editor and PubliSher)

Congress shall make no law
abridglng the freedom of speech, OF
the press" etc. Those words OF
the First Amendment to the ConStl-
tuition are thoroughly familiar to eV-
cry man on Capitol Hill and at the
other end of Pennsylvania avenue.
The Supreme Court has held that
they mean what they say. The pro-
hibition is direct and comprehensive.
It cannot be evaded by subterfuge.
It should not be preached by negli-
gent. hastily drawn amendments to
bills having widely different aims.
That, to our mind, says all that
need be said about the possibility OF
Presidential operation Of newspapers
under any conditions. 1t can't be
done. Congress can confer no such
power; the executive can assume no
such power. But, to avoid confusion
of public thought and delays OF court
action in time of emergency, any act
/ Of Congress comforting emergency
powers on the President over any
/ form of business should make it
specific that the Legislature had the
First Amendment to the ConStitu-
ton in mind when it acted.
Editor and Publisher does not as
s.mc the right to judge whether the
. President should have power to COM
pei industry to cooperate in the
national defense program. 1t may be
that sUch power will be needed to
bring a minority of manufacturers
into line, extending so far as the
right to confiScate plant and direct
operations. So far, no reported en-
pcricncc has seemed to justify such
extreme measures, but accurate judg-
ent cannot be formed upon incom-
plcte knowledge.
Whatever may arise with other
defense facilities" covered by the
Russell Overton amendment, it is
vital that the press and the radio be
specifically exempted from its pro-
v,'ions. Radio is already under the
arm of the government. The Pres
ident has statutory powers to oper-
ate broadcasting stations in time OF
emergency-powers which should, in
our opinion, be sharply limited IN
the immediate future. There IS nc
statutory power which can limit inc
free operation OF newspapers. There

largest farm gathering is scheduled
to assemble next week at the Coastal
Plains Station of the North Carolina
Department of Agriculture, near
Willard. where the oath annual field
day and basket picnic will be staged.
With no less than 5000 attendance
the usual rule, it is no wonder that
the occasion is used as something of
political rally as well as for its
announced purposes. Only three
speakers closely connected with
politics are on the program, and
their topics will naturally be nom
political in nature; but practically
all the boys who dabble in the great
game of getting themselves elected
by the dear people to nice jobs in
Raleigh will be in the crowd, back

there'll be about as much politics
played and talked one place as the
