NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alas Pourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. Newspapers, 1411 INVESTIGATION NEEDED This newspaper would be neglecting its duty if it did uot report the shocking case of the mistreatment 4 brogram mote address, declaring that “the tensions and un- | certainties of our foreign relations” make it a logical and important point on which to concentrate discus- | fsion at this time. Numerous reports and debates | during the convention scheduled to deal with particular sectors of the problem I Mr. Hopkinson summed up the situation briefly | but comprehensively when he said that the problem | “is how best to extend the required aid to Western | Europe with the least unfavorable impact upon our own economy.” The president of the Investment Bankers laid chief not unnaturally, on the importance of financial stabilization in Western Eur- ope. Observing that “disordered foreign exchange is la symptom of economic disorder, and not a cause,” | he expressed the view that “currency stabilization | must be regarded a condition of American aid | rather than as an object thereof.” Without stabili- | zation, he emphasized, American aid “can afford no lasting benefit to Europe or to us.” Fortunately, Mr. Hopkinson's views on the im- portance df financial and economic stability are shar- | led by the Committee of European Economic Coopera- | tion, comprised of representatives of the sixteen par- | ticipating nations. The president of the IBA believes that stabilization should, if possible, be carried out | {“even before the plan or any part of it goes into | |effect.” There may be some cases where stablization | could be demanded as a prerequisite of aid under the | Marshall Plan. But certainly this could not be laid | down as a general rule, since dollar aid and stabil ition partake largely of the nature of cause and effect | As Mr. Hopkinson says, the absence of stability is a symptom—and in many cases, at least, it is a symp- tom of financial ills which can be remedied only with a certain amount of outside aid. Te put it another jway, it reflects a situation which must be shored up | stress as | temporarily while a new permanent foundation is | being built. | The Committee's report makes it clear beyond | | question that “internal economic, financial and mone- tary stability” represents one of the basic conditions of American ald. For, as it notes, “the success of the depends upon the restoration or main- of such stability. But it also points out | tenance” R N ety = |1 20 YEARS AGO 7% S ; THE EMPIRE 2 i ety JANUARY 1, 1928 | Activities in the building trade in Juneau for the year 1927 went v s ® | over the half million dollar mark.

We are quite sure that had this happened to a white child, the nurse would have found herself facing serious charges long ago The report of the beating came to this newspaper from a former ANS employee, who was fired recently. In his letter the incident he stated that the reason it felt he had done enough by bringing it to the atten- tion of high ANS authorities, but since that time he has changed his mind, feeling as we do that no proper action was taken by the ANS. It is unfortunate that this man has lost his job, but he is to be complimented for having the courage to bring the matter into the open. He claims that the nurse flogged the child with a hose used to sluice down the wash-room, while ANS which is reporting authorities claim it was a surgical hose, smaller. Either one is bad enough, and we fail to see any defense for the action It seems to us that even though this incident is six months old it deserves a thorough investiga- tion, along with reports of thefts of government property at the Sitka institution. Toward Stabilization (New York Times) It is interesting and encouraging to note that the Investment Bankers Associatfon has placed the Euro- pean aid program high on the agepda of its annual convention. Edward Hopkinson Jr, president of the association, gave the subject matter attention in his The Wasl;inglonr ; i Merry-Go-Round | parts of the wor was not reported earlier was that lw‘ and they wonder It tock them some time to under- stand that a lot of people in other rld wished Eurape large extent depend upon adequate foreign assistance An interval must elapse while suring tion is being achieved before production can reach an adequate leve external assistance will contribute by an adequate flow of imports so as to balance the national incorme and national outlay of the partici- pating countries at a supportable level of consump- tion.” Internal stabilization on the part of the partici- pating nations in sum, of the utmost importance,; not only as an end in itself, but because it is a re- vivifying influence, calculated greatly to speed up the recovery process. But any attempt to treat 1S prerequisite to Marshall Plan aid might easily defeat the entire purpose of that program it 1| | % - The Brute | !
