Free Interchange Of News
Declared Vital 10 Peace
By the Associated Press

HAGERSTOWN, Md, Oct. s.
Free interchange of truthful news
is necessary for the understanding
peoples must have of each other If
there is to be permanent peace,
Huell Warren, day news editor of
the Associated Press Bureau in Bal
timore, told the Hagerstown XII
wants Club yesterday.
Mr.. Warren spoke at club lunch
con marking Newspaper Week"
Mr.. Warren explained the diverse
membership of the Associated Press
and the clientele of other American
news agencies necessitates report
ing and writing which are highly
resistant to bias, error and propa-
ganda.
I'VE have several thousand watch
dogs scanning our dispatches for all
kinds of prejudice" he said. This
scrutiny has forced us to practice
high standards. These standards
safeguard freedom of the press
against abuse better than any Gov
ernment control ever can"

Wallace Dismisses
Talk Of Communism
In Aid as Propaganda
By the Associofsd Press

PITTSFIELD, Mass, Oct. s.
Henry Wallace describes as prop
aganda' assertions that the United
States would "far prey to commun-
ism" if 1t embarked on an extensive
program of international aid.
Addressing a high schol auditori-
UNI audience last night, the former
Vice President said:
"We shall be told again as we
have been told before that we can
not play Santa Claus to the world,
that we shall bankrupt ourselves,
that we shall fall prey to commun-
ism ourselves if we embark on an
extensive program of international
aid.
do not fall for such propaganda"
Taft. Speeches Cited.
Directing attention to speeches by
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
during a recent Western trip, Mr..
Wallace said:
"It is shocking to me that such an
intelligent man as Taft can tell his
Western audience that we have been
foolish in our program of inter-
national relief because we have pro-
vided peoples abroad with a star1d-
ard of living they cannot maintain
in what Taft calls normal times"
"It is not only untrue to say that
we have provided such a standard
of living" he added, but almost
incredible that any Goth century
American could make a statement
that it is impossible to maintain
and improve any existing standard
of living in the world, including our
own American standard Of living"
Says Inertia Is Menace.
Mr.. Wallace said that "the great
est menace to our country today is
not any foreign army or any alien
political and economic philosophy,
it is our own inertia"
Mr.. Wallace said:
"The sincerity of the administra-
tion concerned with the domination
of our economy by monopolies and
financial combines could best be evi-
denced by complete investigation
of the investment banking industry"
Mr.. Wallace swung into SPRING
field today on the fourth day Of an
11-day tour through all New Eng
land States with the exception of
Maine. He intimated in a press
conference that he might start
tour of Palestine at the conclusion
of his New England trip.

There is the story of buy
er who bought 80 carloads of
string beans at the packing
house at Sl.S0 a hamper. While
the shipment was rolling north
ward a cold wave hit the Okee-
chobee fields. He sold at
$4,000 profit and from that
deal owns large holdings in this
area.
But farming hereabouts has a

heavy investments in labor, fer
tilizer and land costs hangs on
the weather. which can be as
tickle as throw of the dice, or
a spin of a wheel.

insect control are the big prob.
