MORE GOLD NEEDED TO MAINTAIN GOLD
 STANDARD POLICY

NEW YORK, Oct., 23, CP)-The restoration of the gold standard throughout the world, completed by 1927, was done on an anti quated reserve basis, Says the Brooklyn Economic Service.
 This eventually led to an in ternational competition for gold inasmuch as the worlds stock of monetary gold was insuffi- cient to support without great stringency the credit structure which had been erected. This analysis continues
 Tn short, a world credit and currency crisis generated dur ing 1929. Last year saw the cul- imitation of the long 1922 -29 era of expansion and the climax of the boom psychology. Further advance along previously existing lines was impossible. The inc vltable result was the collapse of 1929-3O, major business reaction ending the great pros- perity cycle of the preceding sev- en years.
 Industrial activity slumped throughout the world prices crashed; capital values, both tangible and intangible, declined; the foreign trade of all the na- tions decreased rapidly; some of the weaker countries went of the gold standard; governments rocked; civil wars and insurrec- tions broke out.'

"The community chest drive this
coming year will go over with a
bang, am confident said Vane
Wilder last night following meet
ing of the committee to plan for
making the organization perman-
ent.
"Now that people understand
the working of the plan, of how it
prevents duplication Of solicit
ing with its attendant expense,
and almost entirely eliminates the
nuisance of. the personal inter
views, we feel that we will reach
our quota without the amount of
work which was necessary last
year.
"We find, too, that the organi-
cations which had been in the hab-
it of sending personal workers in
to this field feel that they receive
more clear money under this plan,
They are not put to the expense

amounts to a, considerable portion
of the amount collected" he con-
tinued.
Reports made at the meeting
last night indicate that the COM

ly. All payments which the chest
had promised for this portion Of

however, other payments coming
due shortly which the chest will be
