Treasury Department August T."
Prof. Spahr said in a prepared
statement today.
Wants to Know Value.
Zone thing that we in this country
need to know is this: What is the
nature OF this money that Is being
printed and issued in Sicily in terms
of lira? Is this paper United States
notes? Is it silver certificates? Is it
merely outright fiat money?
Some closely related questions:
Who is liable for the redemption of
this currency. what Is the reserve
against it, and how and when is it
TO be redeemed?
After the Treasury tells us the
nature of the money being issued.
we need to know the authority for
such issuance. Has the Congress
empowered our Treasury to issue
this brand of currency? If not.
under what authority does the
Treasury undertake this transaction?
Should BE Answered.
Nothing in the Treasury state
ment on this currency throws any
light on these vital matters These
are questions that call for answers.
and the press and Congress should
get them.
Germany devised the diabolical
trick of going into conquered coun-
try with fiat money-for example.
German-printed inconvertible paper |
money francs In France-and buying
up the goods of the conquered coun-
try, and flooding it, with such money. |
From all the Treasury has re-
vealed. there is no way for the |
American people to know whether |
our Government is using German |
tactics or is issuing and using this
money in legitimate way. 1t is
important that there be no confusion
in the public mind on this score.
On all the points raised the Amer
lean people are entitled to a full
explanation"

award decorations to U. S.
troops, ride a jeep to review
troops in the field, and eat Army
rations Of ham and beans.
The timing of the meeting was
particularly fortunate from an
Allied standpoint, with German
troops Keeling in Soviet Russia
and Africa, with Italy having
just been stripped of its last
symbol of African empire, and
with Japan being smashed in
New Guinea.
Here are the highlights of the
conference which Roosevelt and
Churchill, in Sunday summary
agreed was unprecedented and
will affect the course of the war:
One-Military and civil lead
ers of both nations agreed on I
1913 plan designed to retain the
initiative in every war theater.
Two-Roosevelt and Church
i'll, perhaps in anticipation OF
axis peace feelers, agreed that
peace can come only through
unconditional surrender of the
three major axis partners.
FRENCH ACCORD
Three-Generals Giraud and
De Gaulle met for the first time
under sponsorship of the Presi-
dent and Prime Minister to ne
gotiate for an effective union of
their two forces.
Four-Stalin was kept in
formed. Churchill and Roosevelt
disclosed they had offered to
meet the Russian leader-whose
armies have dealt such prodig-
ious blows to the Germans-at
a point very much further to
the east" But it was pointed
out that because of the big Red
Army winter offensive Stain
was unable to leave the coun-

up the light French roadbeds in
getting to battle stations. These
big guns aimed their fire at
freight yards and railway cen
tiers far behind the German
lines.
Roosevelt took one of his first
air hops on that inspection visit.
After comforting with King
George v and British Admiralty
officials he crossed the channel
to France, conferred with Mar
shall Foch, visited American
naval bases and the Verdun
battlefield and took a ride in a
naval seaplane at Pauilliac in
France. He also went aboard a

NONOvelty to
the President

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27-(H
- Franklin d. Roosevelt ha
come ace to face with war be
fore - in fact, he was nearly
killed twice during the frs
world war.
IT'S true "FDR" made history
again when he flew to North
Africa to confer on l943' war
plans and to review American
troops. II was the first visit to
a foreign battle zone by an
American President since the
days of Lincoln.
But Mr.. Roosevelt visited the
European war zones in 1918 as
a young assistant secretary OF
Navy and it was from the per-
sonal knowledge gained on that
hazardous journey that he based
his oft-quoted declaration in
later years:
81 have seen war and / hate
war"
Roosevelt was only So when
in July, 1918, he went to Europe
aboard the destroyer Dyer. His
first narrow escape from death
came when he was about to in
spect the u. S. naval hospital
base at Ponta Delgada in the
Azores. Responding to an alert"
against enemy craft, he and the
ships officers narrowly missed
being hit by a four-inch shell
fired by an inexperienced gun
ner on the Dyer in the general
direction of the bridge.
SECOND CLOSE CALL
His second close call was
aboard the British destroyer
Obedient, when he was nearly
swept overheard in q heavy sea.
One man was lost, but the
young naval official later to be-
come the nations commander
in-chief was saved by an aide,
Commander Elliot G. Brown,
who anchored him to q stanchion
when a wall Of water bounced
upon them.
Roosevelt was invalided home
aboard the u. S. S. Leviathan, a
victim Of double pneumonia

When the war was over and he
had recovered, Josephus Dan

sent him abroad again to aid in
liquidating the navy's assets.

ing the swirling intrigue and
preparation for that world con-
flict Che became Daniels assist

war;, the actual fighting, and
the gigantic task of converting
to peace.
Had world war ! lasted a
while longer, young Roosevelt
probably would have seen action
on the western front with the
navy's 14-inch railway gun bat
teries. For he had expressed a
preference for that branch of
the service.
