"Money Troubles ,
The Bible says that the love of money Is the
root of all evil, but in Europe the value of mon
ey Is causing a deal of trouble.- In occupied ';
countries Germany circulated paper currency f
either its own or of the controlled country. As
'the Germans are driven out the value of the
Truman Blunders:.
Senator Truman is proving a much bigger lia
bility as vice presidential candidate than Wal
lace. His chickens are coming home to roost Ha
has been needling Governor Dewey td denounce
the republican isolationist senators who are up
for reelection, and claiming Dewey's assurances
-floating currency becomes very doubtful. The of support of world peace are: insincere unless
i result is price inflation in which people scram-
ble to get Jfheir money in tangibles.
; Belgium has tried to deflate its currency,
.but deflation brings disaster too. France has
f done nothing, about currency devaluation yet,
though it has fixed a rate of 50 francs to the
? dollar in exchange, or 200 to the pound sterling.
French note circulation is around 600 billion
francs which is about four times the prewar to-
tal. The Bank of France has issued no statement
since mid-July and frankly admits it doesn't
'know, its own condition.' i :
I Greece is going through the agony of Inflation
which seems to be erasing the value of the
-J Greek drachma. In 24 hours its value evapor
I ated, going from 10,000,000,000,000 to 22,-
000,000,000,000 for a British gold sovereign
(nominally!$4.87). -i
. These countries will have serious troubles
getting their financial systems again in healthy
j f unctioningjjrhey may have to draw a red line
across -ill ledgers and start anew, with new
currencies either old unit names with new val
'ues, or new units of money r Inflation and de-
i flation work serious hardships; and the sooner
? Europe can get to fiscal stability the more
; quickly its rehabilitation can proceed. . In this
period of readjustment foreign help in the way
of provisions, etc., and perhaps of loans for
' currency stabilization will be needed. We can't
i well -free these lands from German oppression
' to let them starve through 'internal disiirtegxa
f tion, but in jthe end the old rule must hold: they
j must help themselves.
he does denounce these senators. Then a re
porter from a Providence paper asked Truman
back in New England, if he was denouncing Sen
ator David Walsh of Massachusetts. Truman
rather glibly acknowledged Walsh was an iso
lationist but said he was not a candidate for re
election and had two years yet to be redeemed
to internationalism, i j ; 4
That touched off Senator Walsh who was
as hostile to lend-lease and other administration
prewar moves as any republican senator, Walsh
had just previously endorsed Roosevelt for re
election, but he bridled at Truman's cavalier
treatment of him. His reply, left Trumanx with
his jaw hanging down' .;" .
. The fact is that Massachusetts is a critical
state, and Walsh's help is needed there to car
ry it for Roosevelt. Truman's blundering might
lose his ticket enough votes to cost it the state's
16 electoral votes. - -
Truman leaves the country "cold fish." The
people do not like his unrepudiated connections
with the old Pendergast machine, and his cam
paign appearances have shown a lack of struc
ture for the president's office to which a vice
president is the initial successor.
'Master Racer'
Inilial Advantage
In the return trip to the Philippines the
Americans have had the advantage of selecting
the spots for invasion. They could do this be-
cause air power and seapower enabled them to
neutralize the Jap strong points. Thus instead
.of making frontal assaults to capture the great
J&P bases at Rabaul and Truk, which were the
great dread of commentators for many months,
the Americans with some Australian aid were
able to render these bases useless for the ene
my.. Bombings from air destroyed shore instal
lations and .harbor shipping and air nd sea
patrols prevent reenforcement save by occa- .
sional barge or submarine.
This advantage was conspicuous in the Phil
ippines operation when Mac Arthur selected a
softepot, Leyte island, for initial attack. It will
also follow in future moves, especially on the
China coast. We can select the place to launch
our full-scale assault while the Japs, like the
Germans in Europe, have to spread themselves
thin to guard a long coastline. A
Eventually though this advantage will be
losti because when we gain a .foothold in Lu
xon or in China then -we are- committgd and the
enemy can concentrate its opposition. Both in
Luzon and in China the Japs will be able to
supply reenforcement for -a long-time, "because
we cannot effectively police all the seas from
the Jap' homelands to China and to Luzon. We
must prepare therefore, for a war of consider
able duration. It will take many months to ex
terminate the Jap soldiers on Luzon and in
China, and then there remain the home islands
to be dealt -with. " .
Length of the War
Theother -day - Prime Minister Churchill
threw more cold water on suggestions of an ear
ly conclusion of the war when t told the com
mons that the German war might last into the
closing months of 1945 and the Japanese war
might continue for 18 months. Churchill made
no definite commitments, naturally.
It should be noted however that his remarks
were made In connection with a motion to ex
tend the life of parliament another year. Be
cause of the war a general election in Britain
has been deferred long past its regular time.
This is permissable under the British system.
But to support the motion Churchill would
have to justify extension of the present parlia
ment by the prospect of the war's lasting at
least another year,. He was, in effect, assuring
his own government of continuance. Clever as
the prime minister, is, he may have also been
'beaming, his remarks toward the American
electorate. 1 ,

Power of the Purse
A judge in Puerto Rico threw the cabinet
.members of Governor TugWeU's administra
tion into jail because they spent money which
had not been properly appropriated. How naive
of the judge. What if American courts followed
the same practice? Here there has grown up
rather a cynical attitude on the part of govern
ment administrators as they spend money with
out too- close scrutiny of the terms of the ap
propriation. - '
In the past however' congress has been con
siderably at fault as it has appropriated mon
ey giving to the executive very liberal powers
as to spending. That is dangerous policy. The
power which the congress should guard most
jealously is the "power of the -purse."

. ASSOCIATE! PRZSS WAS ANALYST
Allied success in clearing Schelde estuary - ap
proaches to Antwerp -of all substantial enemy re
sistance coupled with-tha forward surge of Amer
ican first army troop in Zmrtsen forest southeast
rf captured Aachen could herald the' opening of the
next major phase of the battle of the Siegfried line.
There wwno definite Indication of thattin pre
liminary accounts from the "front. They told of
American seizure in surpriae -operations of villages
dose to- the eastern edge of the forest. -
At that point. In Hurtgen woods, allied troops
stand closer to the Rhine than at any (other ex
cept in the I4Umemen-Arnhem sector to the north.
The span of the river between Cologne and Bonn
to the south, flanked an both aides by an Intricate
network ef railroads, highways and jrower lines, is'
less than 30 miles from American, positions in the
- forest . - . ' -
, The scene of operations suggest impending first
army efforts to outflank from the-south the impor
tant railway junction town of Duren, guarding the
direct approach to' Cologne from the southwest
- First army advance lines have been poised for many
days in the northeastern edge of Hurtgen forest
directly west of the tOwn.j
Duren's capture or Investment would seem to be
the next imperative step if an immediate advance,
, on bomb blasted Cologne Is in prospect Isolating'
. Duren and the whole northern end of the Siegfried
. line from river and riverside communications would
be another step in preparation for a major Britlsh
, 1 American offensive from Holland. Nazi command
es cannot ignore that possibility now that early al
lied use of the Antwerp sea base virtually has been
assured by concerted British and Canadian army
. operations.'
Nazi recognition of the importance to the allies
of Antwerp and its undamaged port facilities and
the road, rail and canal network south of the Maas
has been obvious in the bitter-end defense the Ger
, mans have put up. The battle has been lost, Berlin
admits, however, and with still time before the
depth of winter comes for General Eisenhower to
build upon that history. .
Surrender of the nazi commander and his troops
in pockets south of the Schelde estuary virtually
clears the south bank of the foe. Combined British
' and Canadian land and amphibious attacks on
Walcheren island north of the waterway means its
, complete occupation within hours or days tt rr.ost
-: That will not only insure allied use of the Antwerp
communication hub, but release powerful elements
; of Field Marshal Montgomery's forces for conccn-
tration elsewhere.
