According to Reuters News Service, observers of international finance believe that the loan was made because of damages suffered by Vietnam in the war. The United States Government created a small wave of verbal protest which was obviously a bone thrown to the many who object to American reparations payments to Vietnam. But there was no serious attempt to block the plan, and no nation, not even ours, went on record against it. Our government caused us to lose the Vietnam War and now it seems that we must accept the role of the loser, part of which is to finance the winner. Twenty percent of the financial support of IMF is provided by the American taxpayer. This means that Americans who fought and bled in Vietnam, or n who lost loved ones in that forced to now war, are being finance the Communist subjugation of all of Vietnam. There are undoubtedly some who prefer to make excuses for such treachery, but here is one voice that calls the move a continuation of more than thirty years of economic war on the United States. mid-Januar- y, no-wi- pro-Commun- ist Communist Economic War IMF is a subdivision of the United Nations that was bom in 1944 at a conference held in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. The U.S. delegation to that COIN U.S. The Birch Log conference was led by then Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Harry Dexter White. As U.S. spokesman at the meeting, he directed and dominated the proceedings. White, however, was later shown to have been a secret Communist. So, too, was Frank Coe, his assistant both at Treasury and at Bretton Woods. With the help of other traitors in our government, these highly placed Communist agents Vir-gini- us drew up plans for IMF to strip the United States of its economic leadership in the world. Specifically, IMF set out to: (1) transfer U.S. gold holdings to others; (2) build up the industrial capacity of other nations at our expense; (3) take markets away from U.S. producers; and (4) make the U.S. an economically interdependent part of a worldwide socialist network. For all practical purposes, these goals have been achieved. Harry Dexter White In 1953, J. Edgar Hoover tes- tified before the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee that from November 8, 1945, until June 24, 1946, seven communications went to the White House bearing on espionage activities wherein Whites name was specifically mentioned. It was after these and other exposures of Whites Communist loyalties that he was appointed by the Truman Administration to head IMF. In 1963, President Kennedy actually praised IMF and its goals. He delighted in noting that IMFs overall plan had been achieved, and he even stated: It did not come about by chance but by conscious and deliberate and responsible planning. Of course, he failed to mention that the plan was a Communist plan and that IMF had already succeeded in maintaining and spreading Communist tyranny while weakening the U.S. Harry Dexter White is long in his grave. But IMF, which he helped to bring about, lives on. Economic slowdown in the United States is only one of its devastating fruits. And millions in aid to Communist Vietnam is a small sample of what IMF has done with the $8 billion plus already given to it by the U.S. government.

Severe weather conditions and the energy crisis brought production at the Philadelphia Mint and the New York Assay Office to a halt Feb. I, after Deputy Director of the Mint Frank H. MacDonald had surveyed the situation.

(Hooray! Write your Congressman).

This measure will establish a strict prior approval all for system Congressional travel and will foreign the detailed require disclosure of all financial and other facts surrounding any such trips by Members of Congress and members of their staffs, their families and girlfriends. that The greatest investment of the average citizen is in his home. Helms said. Nothing, therefore, is more important to this citicn than that the title to his home he secure, so that his major life investment will not turn into a nightmare of adverse claims, lawyers fees, and lengthy court proceedings. Helms pointed out that the change in the law would cause little distress to the IRS or to the Federal Treasury. But it would provide the purchaser - the confrom great sumer protection financial and emotional distress. He added that this legislation is simply common sense: it is these small things when added together that constitute a government that believes in elementary fair play. Why should everyone else be required to have liens recorded in the courthouse except for the Internal Revenue Service? asked Helms. The federal government should play by the same rules as everyone else.

The outgoing Mint Director followed up the notification with her additional personal condolences on the lack of response from the White House.
