VALUE OF FREE PRESS Kent Cooper, head of The Associated Press, in a receitt talk delivered in Australia, urges a free press means of preventing future wars, thereby perverted presentation of international as offe removing news. Mr. free world should be sought. Cooper said the ideal of a free press in a 3hould we achieve this goal or even approach it, the tremendous sacrifice of this hour won’t have been in vain.’ Control of news is the first tool any nationa! leader requires to drive his people to war, Mr. Cooper adding that Hitler’s first move was to take control of information agencies. “The most powerful thing in the world is truth 1f news may flow freely, if controls permitting s tematic distortion are rigidly prevented, we may have an abiding faith that the truth will prevail “Truthful world news, I am convinced, can be assured only under the following conditions: First, said, “Third, by insuring equality for all in availability of news transmission faeilities. Fourth, if not a penalty for distortion of news, at least a declaration in denunciation of that form of news presentation.” He visualized politicians and soldiers in the role of statesmen sitting at peace tables after the war and said it was too much to expect that newsmen be invited although *certainly newsmen alone have competent knowledge of one basic cause of war and that is perverted presentation of international news.” “I am gratified your Australian newspapers cling so tenaciously to the tenets of a free pre: Mr. Cooper continued. “I hope Australian newspapers will go even further in taking up the crusade for a free world press. “Even if our efforts could not for a time gain any perceptible change in countries where governments control what the press may print, they surely would gain two important guarantees. “Pirst, that news shall e freely available to all newsmen everywhere and, second, that no country shall give preferential transmission facilities to its own press against the press of any other country. “It is because I believe it true that unbiased news is the most vital moral concept in the world today that I earnestly hope the future will find Aus- tralians and Americans with our firm bonds of sym- pathy and mutual understanding working together for the ideal of a free press in a free world.” Gold Stabilization (Cineinnati Enquirer) The gold stabilization plan which was accepted recently, in principle, by 34 nations, including the United States, Great Britain and Russia, is a most jencoumgln;: development, both from the economic |and political viewpoints. This country’s tremendous | gold reserve can be put to practical use, if the pro- gram is fully worked out and adopted, and at the same time the chances for free and unrestricted world trade will be greatly enhanced Under the proposal a stabilization fund would be set up, and used, in practice, to hold in balance the moneys of the various nations interested. In theory at least, it would prevent much of the fluctuation in exchange-—a condition which in the past often has worked havoe with commerce and with the prosperity of different lands. It has been proved that financial difficulties of one nation almost always bring unfavorable reper- cussions in others. If the wages of umcertainty roll high enough, depression comes to a large part of the world—as it has in several instances past. The stabilization fund would guarantee, to the extent of its interest and investment therein, the currency of each member nation. Certainly such a plan would discourage runaway inflation—the force which has brought many a national eéconomy on the rocks. It would, further, tend to reduce unwise is- suance of currency by shortsighted or selfish govern- mental groups. It is too early, of course, to come to any con- clusion as to the soundness of the detailed program, THE DAILY ALASKA HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULY 17 Damaris Irene Davis Mrs. Dan Ross Elliott Flemming Alfred G.
