About Men in
Public Eye
BY B. c. FORBES


About men:
I almost lost my job 80 years
ago because of an interview
with one of the late John d.
Rockefeller's original associates,
f. T. Bedford. In front of a
Winter fire, he gave me intimate
glimpses of his chief and told
how solicitous Mr.. Rockefeller
was regarding the well-being of
all his workers.
The owner of the newspaper,
who hadn't seen the copy, tore
his hair and wanted the editor
to fire me when he read it: Un-
known to me he had been vehe-
mently anti-Standard Oil.

Relates Danger
Behind Paper
Currency
BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor Of Economics, y. Y. University
A Chicago reader asks:
eff paper dollars have no
value in themselves and have
nothing back OF them such as
gold, why do they continue to
buy commodities just as for
merry: Can this go on indeh-
nItely. II 50, why 20 back to
gold:'
Answer: Paper dollars do have
value. This is partly because we
need some convenient medium OF
exchange, and partly because
there is. in a vague way, some
thing back Of them. IN detail.
the reasons why paper dollars
still buy goods al about the
same prices are as follows:

in which Lord Beaverbrook has
rapidly stepped up airplane pro-

advocates urge that this meas

Marshall also expressed tho view
that the company's fuel bill this

We had just snapped our sus-
