POST WAR MONEY

Plans are evidently under way as
how to divide the world into spheres
under the monetary control of the
Gold Bloc. To police the conquered
and Hitler satellite states in Europe
and collect war indemnities would
meet with a lot of opposition both at
home and abroad but to set up a gold
standard could practically accomplish
the same purpose by invisible taxa
ton. English held Transvaal and
Canada producing by far the most
gold and U. S. having the biggest
stockpile on hand would thus be able
to dictate monetary policies of all ma
being self sufficient would likely use
scientific money and depend on the
Lena gold fields to bolster their for
eign exchange. Lincoln's greenbacks
of which some are still in circulation,
saved this country millions of dollars
in interest and cut in on the bankers
profit to that amount and in conse-
quence have been doomed for annis
hilation.
To tax Europe like France did Ger
many after the last war proved a fail
ure but this invisible taxation through
the gold standard may turn the trick.
1t should suit the governments of
Great Britain and United States fairly
well and Russia would likely not OPP
pose it but use her own money as
heretofore.
Who controls a nations medium of
exchange owns that country, body,
soul and breaches. Most of our pan
les have been caused by the manip-
ulation of our money and credit sys-
tenn and has shifted the bulk of
wealth of the many into the hands of

Dear Mr.. Bruce
l noticed my subscription expired
on 4-2-1943. l wish to discontinue my
subscription to The Peoples Voice.
wish to thank you for the letters you
published, and | was in hopes this
paper would not be partisan: but con-
structive | have not agreed with
columnists, which has definitely
leaned towards state socialism, or
totalitarianism, or government owner
ship, which is not Americanism.
The editorials are more or less COM
munistic. I noticed you as a paper
criticize capitalism: But you did sup
port Senator Murray for senator, and
he is multimillionaire many times
over. You have supported President
Roosevelt, and he is the wealthiest
president we ever had, and was a mil
lionaire 80 times over, was a Wall
Street lawyer, and has lowered tariffs
to allow cheap foreign products into
money through the Export Import
bank to develope production of prod
ucts. We can ourselves produce,
while we are limited by the AAA con-
troll program Obviously the purpose
was to get trade and his fortune came
from the business of sea commerce.
He and Secretary Hull, and Henry
A Wallace are internationalists. Mr..
Wallace says that the farmers never
should have been permitted to pro-
duce any sugar in the United States;
and that the synthetic rubber plants
that we must now build to obtain
rubber for our war effort should be
closed after the war, except a few
pilot plants. You allowed my letters
to be upblished until l named the
ones that was responsible for the re-
lief agencies, even though the prices
were stabilized; the farmers had to
give up their production, and the
Tolan committee report shows the
small farm units were destroyed, even
though the prices were high enough

leve the prices were high enough to

Ar. Bruce we have the demand for
ull production and a market for all
We could possibly produce, if the
American producers were permitted
o supply it; there are people in both
arties that are internationalists, and

letter looking for your suggestion as
to HOW these markets might obtain
in vain.

or the Old, which came to it's inglori-

Gold has been too scarce for an
adequate money base for expanding
industry and more than once has been
|cornered causing disastrous panics.
Theoretically United States is on a
gold standard while actually it uses
gold, silver and it's bonded indebted
ness as monetary base while most
of its business is carried on with bank
credit backed by both real and ficti-
cious securities.
Whenever the Federal Reserve
Board decides to call in a certain per-

THINGS TO FORGET

If you would increase your hap piness and prolong your life, forget your neighbours fauIts. Forget the islander you have heard. Forget the temptations. Forget the faultfind- ing and give a little thought to the cause which provoked it. Forget the peculiarities of your friends, and only remember the good points which make you fond of them. For get all personal quarrels or histor- les you may have heard by accident, and which, if repeated, would seem a thousand times worse than they are.
 Blot out as far as possible all the disagreeables of life; they will come but they will grow larger when you remember them, and the constant thought of the acts of meanness, or, worse still, malice, will only tend to make you familiar with them. Obliterate everything disagreeable from yesterday; start out with a clean sheet for today, and write upon it for sweet mem ory's sake only those things which are lovely and lovaBie.-Unknown.

 The Lodge accepted with regret the resignation of E. R. Lew Will Hams, who. because of the pressure of other activities, felt he was un- able to do the job in the manner we know he could if there were thirty or so hours in a day instead of mere twenty-four. Acting E. R. Roland Curtis announced that el- eCtion of a new leader would be held on September first. After lodge, the newly appointed com mittee to stage the annual Milk Frolic. got their heads together to work out the details. As one com mitteeman put it "rne purpose of the Milk Fund Frolic is to give the public a whooping big time, relieve them of their loose change as pain lessly as possible, and to return the funds to needy Wrangell children by supplying milk. The big time will be held on Saturday, Septem- Der 4th, in the A. N. B. Hall.
