Country Needs Only
 Confidence To Put
 Vast Wealth At Work
Professor Kemmerer of Princeton Outlines His Views He Corrected Monetary Troubles of Eleven Nations

New York, Nov 5-(UP)-Amer- ica needs only a return of confl- dence to put its vast gold stores to work, Professor Edwin w. Kem- merer of Princeton university said to-day.
 Speaking to a distinguished au- dience at an advertising club lunch con. this famed doctor" of the worlds monetary ills. advised that America's gold standafd is secure. indicated the United States ought not o practice the imitation in which Great Britain now is indulg- ing and suggested that New York has become the worlds money center.
 with confidence restored, money and bank deposits again will move at their normal rates and whole sale commodity prices then will, in my judgment, return to a level not far different from that pre- vailing during the eight years pre- ceding the crash of 1929, a level that will be at least 25 to 30 per cent higher than that now pre- vailing," he said.
 This handsome, grey-haired pro- lessor who had administered to and corrected the gold troubles of Il countries in the last 28 years painted picture of a thoroughly sound and sturdy America. The tone of his discussion was. in ef- feet. plea for the United States to chase its fears and doubts and make the depressinon of 1929-

1881 only a memory.
 ''It will be found that the high value to which gold was pushed during this crisis was but a tenn porary emergency value created by a psychology of extreme and wide- spread public distrust which the real facts never justified" he said.
 Great Britain's recent economic trouble may be attributed in no small degree to the evils of her de- flation policy, Dr Kemmerer point ed out.
 What gains Great Britain may realize from the suspension of the gold standard will be of temporary character and will be bought at the expense of some very severe losses. How long British labor will stand the punishment of fixed wages, accompanied by a rising cost of living. remains to be seen." Dr Kemmerer said 1t was a de- sire for safe keeping that brought the worlds gold streaming to America, rather than any desire on the part of the United States to corner the supply.
 Figuratively seizing his little black bag of statistics, with which he has made many midnight call to financially stricken nations, Dr Kemmerer, perhaps the worlds foremost practitioner in money ills, prescribed, as always, gold.
 We in America have the larg- est supply of monetary gold of any country in the world. the largest supply that any country ever has held in thet history of the world At the present time the stock of monetary gold held by central banks and by governments of the leading countries of the world Is approximately 11.3 billions.
 "Of this amount the United States has approximately 4.3 bil- lions or about 38 per cent of the worlds supply. France has 2.7 bill lions or about 24 per cent. The rest of the world put together has about as much as the United States. "One of the reasons why our stock of monetary gold in the United States Is so large at pres ent may be expressed by safety first Given the collapse of 1929- 1881, with the resulting losses and widespread bankruptcy, with its aftermath of unemployment, of so- CAdi uhIS hitu pOihtlCdl ICNUlutIOH throughout the world, 1t is not strange that people everywhere should have become scared and have converted their capital into gold or its equivalent, the only thing they could see whose value was rising.
 '"It is not strange they should have done their best to get these gold values quickly to the safest places they could put them. name ly on deposit in the strongest banks they could find in the United States and France. The all-important consideration was safety not yield.
 Money hoardings in the United States to-day amount to upwards of billion dollars. Postal savings have increased from 180 millions to 500 millions in the last 16 months. The gold reserves of our federal reserve banks are still more than a billion dollars above the le- gal requirements and we have out standing hundreds of million dol lars in gold certificates.
 "The difficulty at present Is prl- marily one of lack of confidence. Much of our gold Is still compara- lively idle, but it will be put to work when people abroad and peo- pie at home come to believe 1t can be put to work safely and profit ably.

The Dill bill also would authorize the atate department to ''preview" all pictures being sent abroad, reject ing those it deemed unfit.
 Tn its campaign to enlist coun- trywide support of such legislation the Twentieth Century clubs mo- ton picture committee will seek the cooperation of women's clubs, parents and teachers associations, church groups, and college stu- dents.
 whitney said that pending en- actment of the desired legislation the committee probably would cir- culate a white list," which would contain names of approved films.

stockmen suffered the heaviest
losses in the last five years, due
to decreased prices on their prod
ucts through overproduction," Mr..
Barnes said. There was not one
county which concentrated on
poultry raising and dairying on
irrigated or cutover land, that was
able to show increased land valu-
atoms.
It was the county that could
point to heavy reclamation enter
prises that was able to point to
prosperous husbandmen and farm
ers. Barnes said.
The purchase of modern farm
implements and machinery meant
much of the heavy increase, ac-
cording to the director.
at may be hard to believe, but
modern tractors with plows will
have to go and farmers must re-
turn to horses" Barnes said. eff

work. there would never be a sur
plus of grain in the nation today.

Grain Surplus; Farming
Requires More Skill
By JAMES F. ROWE

~
Those who believe in moving
sback to- the soil' as a solution
for present financial difficulties,
should choose wisely in selecting
the type of farming expected to
return living.
There are plenty of poor farm
ers in Washington despite reports
by the federal department Of agri-
culture showing that farm land,
building and equipment values in
creased $46,772,755 in the la s.
five years. Present values on g.
552 Washington farms were esti-
mated at $773,662, SOP.
In Benton county, the value of
farm lands, buildings and equip
ment was $10,545,67O last year as
compared to 1925 values Of 3d.
1876, 454. Average values of land and
building per farm were $6322 this
year as compared to 1925 values
of $7135 It was pointed out by
Erie j. Barnes, state director OF
agriculture, that 80 counties show
ed gains and nine showed de-
creases in values. Among those
showing decreases were Ferry
Grant, Spokane, Lincoln, and Ben.
ton, while Pend Orielle, Okanogan
Stevens and Douglas showed only
slight gains.
This was due, Barnes thought
to the fact that these counties
were dependent on stock raising
and wheat and other dry 1auf
farming for their main agricultur-
al enterprises.
