We are not prepared |’ to say where the fault lies, if any, but the following comment from the Record is at least interesting: One of the greatest blunders of monetary management in American history was the Fed- eral Reserve Board’s order jacking up reserve requirements of member banks, an order which has— Increased interest rates all along the line; Caused municipal and Government bonds to lose a billion dollars in market value in the past month; Intensified, instead of curbing, the specu- lation in our stock and commodity: markets. To cover up that stupendous blunder, Mar- riner S. Eccles, chairman of the Federal Re- serve Board, now issues one of the most extra- ordinary—and absurd—statements any Federal official has made since Hoover sat in the White House. ) Labor’s efforts to improve the lot of the American working man, says Eccles, are chief- ly responsible for the decline in Government bonds. If Labor would only be content with lower wages, pleads Eccles, prices would:not rise and all would be well. 7 In a word, Eccles advocates & policy dfrect- ly counter to the policy of the Administration ARRY RACE, Druggist “The Squibb Stores of Alaska” | Closer to home, and yet directly related to the Nazi system of intellectual dishonesty, there is an effort to falsify the facts of American history. Some |time ago in the magazine of the Silver Shirts, a Fas- |eist organization, there appeared an article purporting |to prove that Benjamin Franklin had been anti- | Semitic. Franklin, the story went, had demanded the ex- |clusion of Jews from ‘this country. Such an assertion | |could not be passed up by Fascists abroad. “Franklin’ |prophecy” was reprinted in Nazi journals in Switzer-. {land and Germany, and reappeared in America, A8 the importation of Nazi agents in New York. t After exhaustive study of all available Franklin | material, Dr. Charles A. Beard finds conclusively, that the prophecy was, to use his own words, a “bares faced forgery.” Other distinguished authorities on Franklin concurred in this view. On the contrary, Franklin's only clear-cut pronouncement of racial hos- tility, if it may be called that, was a warning ag:ixfit' German immigration. In 1753 he said of the Ger- mans: “Not being used to liberty, they know not how |to make modest use of it.” But he did not propose their exclusion, 7 Obviously this dges not apply to the throngs of Germans which cani to this country to escape from tyranny—in the terrr of 1848 counter-revolution, and |before and since.

(Philadelphia Record) Two dispatches from Soviet Russia appeared in recent papers. Dispatch No. 1 stated that “democracy has been ordered in Russia . . . with secret ballots . . . and voting machines” (perhaps of U. S. manufacture). Dispatch No. 2 stated that Alexei I. Rykoff and 'Nikolai Bukharin will shortly be tried for the capital offense of disagreeing with the policies of the Stalin regime. This is Russia's second step toward “democracy” in recent months.

Horoscope “The stars inclire but do not compel” FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 1937 Adverse planetary aspects are strong in the horoscope for today, according to astrology. While there will be great demand for construc- tion, labor is under evil portents. In the coming hours serious con- employers may be sharpened, for there is a sign that causes extra- ordinary need of trained hands and loyal hearts. Cooperation pewween capital and labor long has been stressed by the seers as the only real solution to difficulties that hamper manufac- turers and now it is foretold world conflict will change hostile aims so that patriotism will overcome con- tention. This should be a fortunate sway for engineers and builders who will \face unusual demands. Public works will compete with private construc- tion for the services of masons and carpenters. In many trades wages will rise and again the white collar classes will suffer from lack of adequate rewards for their work. There is a sign that threatens |many men who have exercised au- thority over public affairs. Loss of confidence is forecast for political leaders as well as noted financiers. April is to be a menth of plots and - stratagems that menace the peace; of the wurld in ever more forceful ways than have been rec- ognized in the past. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of unexpected experiences that may bring about some anxieties. Ability in overcom- ing obstacles will be required to as- sure progress. - . Children born on this day prob- ably will be scrious and conscien- tious. Subjects of this sign may be studious and may succeed in in- tellectual vocations. Robert Frost, poet, was born on this day 1875. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Herman Humphrey, clergyman and onetime president of Amherst, 1779; David H. Storer, physician and na- turalist, 1804.
