comes the administration 0f gold for.
the stabilization Of currencies and the
equalization of exchange. All the
patients would eagerly and gladly
take the gold cure-if only they could
get the gold.
So the subcommission of finance,
headed by Sir Robert Stevenson
Horne, proposes a conference, Of all
the great banking Institutions of the
world, with special enlpha sis on the
participation. of american bankers.
The purpose undisguisedly would be
to get from America the gold which
Europe SO badly needs.
There is encouragement in this
open and above.board approach to so
vital a subject. 1t. in the way; Amer
lea wants to do business. This eoun-
try has the gold, a great deal more
than we need for our own purposes
or for our own good financial: health.
No better use of the surplus could be
made than to apply it to the stabiliza-
tion of Europe. All Europe needs to
do is to show us q way in which we
can let her have it, on business like
basis. But there comes the rub. AS
things now stand, she has no such re-
naming basis Of credit as would JUS
| tify us in letting her have the gold as
a loan. She, is not producing the goods
to give in exchange. and even if the
goods We're produced we have not at
present the consuming capacity to abb
sorb them. .r
The only way out, therefore, would
seem to be for Europe to improve her
i basis of credit. This might be difficult.
| but it is not impossible. A first step
would be to give specific assurances
of intention to repay the many bill
lions of dollars already owed this
! country. A second would be to cut
down ruinous military expenditures by
arriving at an assured condition Of
peace and limiting ornaments. Then.
| as a third step, there should be a
sensible adjustment of European in
debtedness, internal and external and
including reparations, followed by a
sincere effort to balance budgets
! through curtailment Of expenditures
and the imposition in some countries
| of more adequate taxation. With these
things done. pooling Of private
credits with governmental underwrft-
| ing might well make the investment
of American gold in Europe an attrac-
tive proposition. But it ought to be
, realized by this time that the fact
! ticient reason why America should
make them. We did it during the war,

mocracy has been rescued from its

Wanted-American Gold.

The statesmen assembled at Genoa
seem to be finding it comparatively
easy to diagnose correctly the illness
with which Europe is afflicted and to
determine the nature of remedies nec-
essary for restoration. But the OBJ
tanning and the applying of those
remedies is another matter. Some
remedies they have in hand. but do
not know how to apply them. Others
they are perfectly competent to apply,
but they have yet to devise a way in
which they may be obtained.
A remedy Of the first class is the
limitation OF land armaments. Despite
the ruling at the instance Of France
that armaments cannot be discussed
because they are not on the agenda.

was amended to the form in which 1t
passed the Senate. was introduced in
the House and is now before the
House committee on the District Of
Columbia.
Protestants against the enactment
of the bill include the Central Citizens
Association. Sibley Hospital. St.
AIoysius Church. North Capitol Street
Methodist Church. Gonzaga College
and the Lucy Webb Hayes National
Training School. Under the law as it
stands the authority to permit extern
sion of railroad tracks rests with Con-
gress, while the 'zoning" Of the city is
a matter within the province Of the
District government. The fear OF the
protestants against this bill Is that the
Industrial zone may be extended to
the squares now included within the
commercial zone. and that coal yards
and freight terminals will be placed in
those squares. to the damage Of their
property.
The contention of the protestants is
that the bill would give to the Commits.
sioners authority to permit all the
property on the east side of North
Capitol street from the post office to
Florida avenue to have tracks run
through it "aald practically destroy a
large and well built-up neighborhood." /"
They maintain also that this bill would
permit the Commissioners "to carry
into effect the proposal advanced two
years ago by former Commissioner
Kutz to place the trash plant. stables

Association that specifically it was
declared as law that no tracks should

This bill should, and no doubt will,
be given thorough investigation by the

all the parties in interest should have

THE Conversation Cure.

The Conversation Cure.
They used to say in days gone by
That blue grass was the thing to try
For every i'll and every ache.
The water cure some used to take;
And others, than the rest more wise,
Just took fresh air and exercise.
Now different ways seem more secure
Men take the conversation cure.
The speeches fly through every zone,
BY radio or telephone.
No matter what is going wrong,
Il calls for language swift and strong
The policies Of state profound.
The slighter problems that abound,
Now seek method swift and sure
And try the conversation cure.

HELP SMITH. REPORTED
ORDER FROM CITY HALL
Many Employees Scared
Hylan Denial Expected.

Employees in a dozen city depart
ments were discussing yesterday a re-
port that word has been passed out
they must all work for the election OF
Alfred Z. Smith for Governor
Several employees denied promptly
that they had received any such in
'structions. According to the report the
city administration had decided sud-
denly to throw all it's dnfluence to the
election of Mr.. Smith because OF fear
that Gov. Miller IL reelected would re-
move Mayor Hylan. Back of the or
der was supposed to be the intimation
that IL Hylan were removed all city
officials would be in danger of losing
their positions.
Few of those who discussed the report
were inclined to give credence to the
belief that any such official order had
been Issued. That most Of the city Of
ficiais who are Democrats would be
working for Smith was said to be only
natural. The report caused as much
amusement as fear. apparently.
The basis for the report is believed TO
be that many city employees are work
ing for Mr.. Smith. In the number are
many who were his associates when he
was president of the Board OF Alder
men and others who are his enthusias
tic admirers.
Official confirmation or denial of the
report could not be obtained last night
but IL is expected that the Mayor 10
