Gold StabilizatiOn
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer The gold stabilization plan which accepted recently, in principle by 34 nations including the United States, Great Britain and Russia, is a most encouraging development, both from the economic and political viewpoints. This country's tremendous gold reserve can be put to practical use if the pro- gram is fully worked out and adopted and at the same time the chances for free and unrestricted world trade will be greatly enhanced
 Under the proposal stabilization fund would be set up ard used. in practice, to hold in balance the moneys of the various nations interested In theory at least, it would prevent much of the fluctuation in exchanges condition which in the past often has worked havoc with commerce and with the prosperity of different lands
 It has been proved that financial difficulties of one nation almost always bring unfavorable reper- high enough depression comes to large part of the word-as it has in several instances past.
 The stabization fund would guarantee, to the extent of its interest and investment therein, the currency of each member nation. Certainly such a plan would discourage runaway infation-the force which has brought many national economy the rocks. It would further tend to reduce unwise is of currency by shorsighted selfish govern mental groups.
 It is too early of course, to come to any clusion to the soundness of the detailed program which must be worked out long perid of time and finally adopted by Congress before it become effective But in principle the idea has gooC sound, particularly in view of Americas great golo resources which in the last analysis, valuable ir direct ratio the number of the worlds nations which are on the gold standard when the is over.

 T am gratified your Australian newspapers cling so tenaciousy to the tenets of free press MT. Cooper continued T hope Australian newspapers will go even further in taking up the crusade for a free world press.
 Even if our efforts could not for time gain any perceptibe change in countries where governments control what the press may print, they surely would gain two important guarantees.
 First, that shall be freely available to all newsmen everywhere and, second, that no country shall give preferential transmission facilities to its press against the press of any other country
 Tt is because believe it true that unbiased news is the most vital moral concept in the world today that I earnestly hope the future will find Aus traians and Americans with our firm bonds of sym pathy and mutual understanding working together for the ideal of free press in a free world

VALUE OF FREE PRESS

Kent Cooper, head of The Associated Press, in a recent talk delivered in Australia, urges free press as one of preventing future wars, thereby removing perverted presentation of international news.
 MT Cooper said. the ideal of free press in a free world should be sought.
 Should we achieve this goal approach it. the tremendous sacrifice of this hour won't have been in vain"
 Control of news is the first tool any nationa. leader requires to drive his people to MT Cooper said, adding that Hitlers first move was to take control of information agencies
 "The most powerful thing in the world is truth. If news may flow freely, if controls permitting sys- tematic distortion rgidly prevented we may have an abiding faith that the truth will prevail
 Truthful world news, I convinced, can be assured only under the following condtons First by of freedom of the press in each country second by insuring equality of to at it's source by agencies, native and foreign

Pew, of the Sun Oil Company, also contributed $37,260 to many of these organizations during the same period and it is significant that two vigorous leaders of the anti Roosevelt revolt at the Texas con- vention in 1914 are paid minions of Republican Joe Pew-John P.

 How much this had to do with the lush Coca Cola salary offered to Jim Farley is his secret. How ever, it remains fact that A. B.

SENATE INVESTIGATION

Vance Muse, who collected the du Pont- General Motors money in 1886, continued to be active and turned up at the Texas convention in l944 as one of the backstage operators against Roosevelt.
 Questioned by the Senate com mittee in 1886, Muse made it clear that the du Pont- General Motors crowd went in for the rabble- rousing at Macon with their eyes open. Here is part of the testi- mony:
 Senator Black Did you go to see Mir Raskob and talk to him and MT. du Pont personality"
 MT Muse; "Yes, sir. I told them what wanted the money for"
 Senator Schwellenbach "A 1t e r the meeting, you received $500 from Henry du Pont, did you not?"
 MT Muse: "Yes sir"
 Sen. Schwellenbach: And S1,000 Oll GU. Gf II Oil hlllCO oiOdll Ol General Motors? That was after the meeting?"
 Muse: Yes sir"
 Sen. Schwellenbach: 50 it was apparent that the du Fonts, if they did not know of the distribution of that literature (picturing Mrs Roosevelt with two Negroes, did not disapprove of it, because they contributed another $500"
 NOTE-As a result of contribu- tions to the Committee to Uphold the Constitution. the du Fonts General Motors and Will Clayton found they were contributing in- directly and without their knowl- edge to two anti-Semitic organiza- tions now under indictment for sedition and on trial for stirring up armed revolt against the United States. Some of the money of the Committee to Uphold the Consti- tution was passed on to James True and Robert E. Edmonson both now on trial for sedition.

There must have been a terrific Coca Cola market among the 6,679 people in Uvalde, judging by the number of times Jim Farley went there "on busi- ness .

 HEART AND HOME: Women of all ages will be active in poli- tics through this month and next Although the seers have emphasized the importance of electing wives and mothers to legislative bodies there will be few successful wo- men candidates this fall.

The Seers em- phasize the importance of encour- aging private enterprise. Danger | lies in Government ownership or dictation, they declare.
