President. before I conclude I wish to call to the attention of Senators. who obviously are much interested in this remarkable situation. the exact language of the editorial to which reference has already been made: Every collector. whether his hobby be the acquisition of first editions. pewter mugs. or postage stamps. will sympathize with the tendency to boastfulness over a profitable "deal" that led Harold L. Ickes. Secretary of the Interior. and No. 2 philatelist of the New Deal high command. to reveal himself as the sire. by special privilege. of the gummed variety of the imperforate nationalparks commemorative series of United States postage known to collectors as the "Farley follies." In giving a set of .this variety of this postagestamp issue to the committee in charge of conducting a series of philatelic auction sales for the benefit of European war refugees. Mr. Ickes could not refrain from emphasizing their unique value.
