Soviet Censorship
Is Now Reduced 10
JustMere Formally

MOSCOW, Nov 12.-Soviet cen
sorship of outgoing news dispatches,
recently protested by American and
British correspondents in Moscow
appears to have been reduced to a
mere formality.
There has been no official an
nouncement of change in Russian
policy and foreign correspondents
still are submitting their dispatches
for stamping by the censors. But
for almost a week all Associated
Press dispatches have been passed
without any deletions an expert
ence shared by other correspondents.

The W ASKING Ton
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = At an appro-
pirate time during Prime Minister
Clement Attlees visit, a secret
agreement between the United
States and England may be diplo-
matically called to his attention.
This is an agreement initiated by
Winston Churchill and Franklin
D. Roosevelt at Quebec on Sept.
IS, 1914, regarding the partitioning
of Germany.
At that time-just little over a
year ago-the American Armies
had broken through the German
line of defense in Normandy, had
swept past Paris, and Gen. Mar
shall had returned from the Euro
pean theater with an optimistic
report that the war could be over
in few weeks.
Therefore, Roosevelt and Chur-
chill, meeting in Quebec, discussed
the question of occupying western
Germany. The Red Army at that
time was stalled, and it looked as
if the American Army, plus Field
Marshal Montgomery's much small
Ter British Army, would have the
job of taking over most OF Ger
many.
AT Quebec, therefore, Roosevelt
leaned toward the idea that the
United States occupy the Ruhr and
much of industrialized western
Germany. This brought immediate
, opposition from Churchill.
Actually, the late President did
not trust the British to dismantle
German industry in this vital IRON
and-steel area without which Ger
many cannot make war. He recalled
that after the last war the British
had opposed France and her policy
toward German industry in the
Ruhr. And had it not been for
British loans to Germany, plus the
support of the British Foreign
office, Germany might not have
staged its comeback.

The Forgotten Front

Little is being heard these days
of the fighting on the Italian front.
The German fighting and that in
the Pacific have held the lime
light for many months and the pre-
vailing interest seems conferred
there. This has caused some to re
fer to the campaign being Waged in
Italy as the forgotten front.
Under the title of The Forgot
ten Front" Frank Miles, war cor
respondent for American Legion
magazine, writes an instructive ar
ticle in the February number OF
that publication Miles opening
paragraph says:
Its the forgotten front in some
minds, these battle areas Of the
Fifth American and Eighth British
armies in North Italy, but it will
be vivid in the memory Of every
surviving Allied and Nazi partici-
pant SO long a- he or she lives.
Moreover, when the history or
World War II has been written
from cold facts and authentic fig
ures, most readers will be CON
WINGED that probably the toughest
and most costly military fighting
humanity has ever known occurred
there
The article further states that UP

The Gothic line was in frightfui

No Place For
An incompetent

The controversy in the II. S. Sen
ate over approval of the appoint
ment of Henry Wallace as secretary
of commerce and his subsequent
control Of billions Of Government
dollars under the RFC is based on
doubt ri WaiiaeE's ability to fIaf1-a
die wisely such huge sums. Wal
lace was a failure in a business
way before entering politics. He is
also said by many TO be dreamer,
visionary. 1t is reasonable to doubt
his qualifications to administer
safely billions Of dollars.
Before Jesse Jones was placed at
the head Of RFC and its billions, he
had proved himself to be hard
headed and successful business man.
His later handling of RFC, funds
has increased that reputation He
is just the type of man to be kept
at the head of that department.
But in order to pay political debt,
President Roosevelt would endan-
ger the financial safety Of the coun-
try by appointing an incompetent
to handle colossal sums of money.
Far-reaching plans are under way
for the spending Of Government
funds after the war New Dealers
favor insurance Of loans to small
business, great housing projects, re-
building Of cities, self-liquidating
toll roads, toll bridges. hospitals,
with some loans to individuals No
one can object seriously to such a
program if it is needed to provide
jobs and if its management is in
able hands. But if such stipend
Gus program of spending should
come under the control of dream
er, 1t could end in destruction of

the nations financial structure and
ruin for everyone.
One Of the Wisest things the Con-
gress has done in long time was
the rejection Of Wallace as head Of
RFC spending. He may be approved
as secretary of commerce but the
management Of vast sums of Gov
eminent money will be taken out
of his hands.

Strong Opposition
To an MvA

Very evidently the Montana leg
islature does not favor granting to
q federal organization too much
power in the control of Montana
resources. The legislature has adopt
ed a memorial opposing creation Of
a Missouri Valley Authority some
Wflal s4+~-s'nr To the Tennessee Val
ley Authority.
Some may wonder why there is
opposition to such procedure in
view Of the generally accepted be-
lief that the IVA has done a great
deal of good in developing the
Tennessee area. Objection here is
based chiefly on the conviction that
such an authority IS not needed in
the Missouri valley, that If it is
established il will take practically
all control of the development of a
vast area out of the states hands
and place it in men outside of the
state. in short, that an MVA here
would tend strongly to dictatorship
from the outside and would be OBJ
noxious to our conception Of the
American form Of government
Strong opposition has developed
both in Montana and North Da-
kota to creation Of an MVA The
North Dakota Reclamation Associa-
ton has sent out eight able articles
opposing the proposition In its last
article it further discusses the Muir
ray bill, which would establish a
Missouri Valley Authority. Among
other things, the article says:
This would be government
corporation vested with full power
over practically all activities in the
area. The measure. is very cleverly
and skilfully drawn SO as to elmi--
nate all democratic procedures, and
to vest in three-man board, APP
pointed by the President for 9-year
terms, despotic powers and prac-
teal freedom from congressional
control.
In order to disguise this. mon
stroslty, we are being deluged with
very clever propaganda. Books,
pamphlets and articles arr. being
published describing the roseate
achievements Of the Tennessee Val
ley Authority Politicians like SEN
ator Hill are extolling the benefits

Institutions and they do not propose

institutions, have made the great

ton in the world, and there is nc
