At such a moment the thoughts of ;the leader of the grand assault might be expected to «concentrate on military problems to the exclusion of feverything else. To the soldier entrusted with the fegrful responsibility of breaching the walls of Europe, striking power and the weight of arms are naturally the paramount consideration. Yet General Eisenhower turns back from the head of his bolsed armies to tell the newspaper publishers and the American people it is public opinion that wins wars. He says that the correspondents covering the front are “a part of the great team striving to conclude this war at the earliest possible moment.” In the time and circumstances this is handsome tes- timony on the part of the soldier who fights the battle to the men who report it and the civilian population that supports it. But it is also a significant reminder that public opinion shares the soldier's heavy responsibility for vietory. is saying is that the best and bravest armies cannot win wars nlone They are gamblmg their lives to What General Eisenhower | give us an opportunity to win a victory. When the signal is given they must march into the unknown and face whatever hazards it holds. But unless the people at home are ready to follow through, unless they are determined as the soldiers not to waver, not to turn back, not to be stopped by the obstacles they also must face if they mean to translate military victory into peace, they will surrender what the fight- ing men have won. Love of Gold (Washington Post) The reported decision of the Swiss National Bank to sell some of its gold stocks to the public affords additional proof that the love of gold and its prestige as a monetary metal have survived a tremendous amount of official ill usage. For Switzerland is merely following the example of a goodly number of countries that are releasing gold to their people. Official gold sales are being made in Middle Eastern countries— such as Irag, Iran and Egypt—and were begun in India last summer. According to report the Chung- king government likewise intends to sell some gold to the people—the gold being part of the proceeds of a loan made in China in 1942 by the United States. In this hemisphere Mexico is selling gold to her people, while Colombia and Chile are selling cer- tificates redeemable in gold after several years. Information as to the nature and extent of gold operations of this kind are scanty, but enough 1s known to evidence the esteem in which gold is still held by the masses as a standard and store of value. Their feeling is undoubtedly enhanced by the world- wide inflation of currencies that has created a distrust of paper money, particularly in countries where prices are soaring. Governments are accordingly relying on the desire for “hard” money to aid their fight against inflation. That appears to be the motive behind the Swiss decision to release gold and sales of gold in the Near and Far East. The expectation is that people will buy up gold at premium prices in terms of paper not with a view to spending it, but with intent to hoard it. In that event paper money would be with- drawn from circulation and the pressure on prices would be relieved. To be sure, money exchanged for gold may have been hoarded, too, but paper money hoards are much more volatile, more likely to come out of hiding as inflation prog- resses and accelerate price increases than are metallic hoards. There are some obvious disadvantages connected with deliberately encouraging gold hoarding, especially in a country such as India, where the practice of investing savings in gold and silver has been rightly regarded as a deterrent to industrial progress. How- ever, given abnormal wartime condition, gold sales may serve a good purpose in arresting the progress of to shift their interest from acquisition of metal that is not essential. It is indeed a topsy-turvy world in which governments press gold upon their people, in the hope that it will be hoarded, in exchange for their own paper promises to pay. Some monetary authori- ties will view such untoward developments as another big black mark against the gold standard. To others the active market for gold demonstrates the intrinic mertis of gold as a money metal. Certairily it goes | far toward setting at rest fears that the end of the | despised and worthless metal no longer wanted for | monetnry use.
