The Holy Gold Standard

Commenting on the aband- onment of the gold standard by England, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and other countries, the Wallace (Idaho) Press Times declares that the col lapse of the gold standard is now complete and adds:
 "The collapse of the gold standard is complete. There are only two countries in the world which have sufficient gold and neither of them, france or the United States, dare give up much of it for fear of undermining their own financial structures. When will the gold fetish worshipers con- cede that their idol has fallen? Will they still blindly and @tubbornly refuse the facts and by so doing accelerate the chaos and ruin toward which the commercial world is now drifting?
 There is yet time to retrieve the situation, if reason and common sense shall prevail, and constructive thinking be done and constructive action be taken.
 "The recent plan for bank relief for the big eastern banks, announced by President Hoover with much flourish, while good as far as it goes, $ really only palliative, in- tended to relieve a special in- terest, under special condit- ions, and does not even touch the underlying cause of dis tress."

About Money

Some facts about money may be of interest, although that commodity itself is rather scarce so far as most of Us arc concerned. Our word dollar by the way, is from the Ger. man term "thaler," a piece of money first coined in Bohemia about the year 1518.
 The United States silver dol. lar was first minted in 1794. Its intrinsic value is less than half its face value, as it con- tains only 412.5 grains of sil- yer. The origin of the dollar mark (S) is not known with certainty.
 The motto "In God We Trust" first appeared on { bronze 2-cent piece in 1864 and since 1865 has been issued on gold and silver coins. The eagle appeared on the first coins issued, and on most of the coins ever since. Coinage of silver dollars has practical ly ceased in recent years. It may not be generally known that half-dollars, quarters and dimes are legal tender only for debts not exceeding ten dol lars, while nickels and cents are legal tender only up to twenty-five cents. But any old kind of money will be accept ed as legal tender in any amount just now we imagine especially on subscription ac. counts.

 Somewhere in Hyder or Stewart, an American flag is cached away which is needed to fly over the Hyder school house.

MORROW AND
DAWES CONFER
ON NAVAL PACT

LONDON, March 18. U.P-Am-
bassador Charles c.. Dawes and
Senator Dwight w. Morrow resumed
conversation at the foreign office
today in connection with the new
Franco-Italian accord.
It was said reliably that Britain
considers the new agreement limit
ing the naval armaments of France
and Italy to be an accord between
two powers. This accord may be
acknowledged by the other inter-
ested powers-the United States,
Britain and Japan-according to the
British attitude. but acknowledge
ment might be merely through an
exchange of notes.
Such action. it was pointed out,
would avert the necessity of parla-
mentary ratification in the United
States and Japan. Previously it had
been understood that the United
States would not favor inclusion of
the new accord in the five power
naval treaty signed in London last
year.
