I'm GOD WE TRUST"
NOT ON NEW COINS
LOng.uSed Motto Omitted in
the New Designs Approved
by President

WASHINGTON. Nov. S.-The first
OF the now coins designed by the late
Augustus Saint Gaudens under the
general direction Of President Roose-
welt has reached the Treasury Depart
ment from the United States Mint in
Philadelphia. 1t is the $40 gold piece.
or half eagle, and for tho first time
since 1878 the words I'm God We
Trust are omitted from the coin. It
is understood that these words will
be omitted from the coins of all the
other denominations, according 20 the
designs approved by President Roose-
welt.
Il could not be learned at the Treas
ury Department today who was re-
sponsible for the omission OF the
words "In God We Trust" but the De-
partment officers have had nothing TO
do with the change in the coin de-
signs except to carry out the orders OF
the President
The Secular League OF the District
.of Columbia and other organizations
of the same kind have been making
IAN intermittent campaign for years
against the use OF the name OF the
Deity I'm Thanksgiving proclamations
and various official documents and es-
.pecially against the use of the motto
In God We Trust" on the coins of
the nation All the old coins above
the dime bear this motto.
The new gold coin issued from the
mint bears on one side a spread eagle
holding a number OF arrows i'm its
talons, and on the other side the head
of an Indian in full war dress.
