SEAMEN EAGER
TO MAKE TRIP
WITH WILKINS
Experienced Submarine Hands
Would Join Party; Undaunted
BY Fatality Aboard Nautilus

NEW YORK, March 26 U.S)
Notwithstanding the accidental
death Of Quartermaster willard
Grimmer, between so and so ex.
perienced submarine men have
applied for his job aboard the
Nautilus, on which Sir Hubert
wilkins proposes to voyage to the
North Pole.
4 Sir Hubert revealed today he
has been besieged by applicants
since Grimmer. a bridegroom of
two weeks, met his untimely death
on the Nautilus as the submarine
was running into New York Har.
Dor on trial trip.
Success Is Predicted
While others may scott at the
Wilkins Ellsworth expedition as
"foolhardy,' Sir Hubert considers
the heavy volume of applications
q striking testimonial. Sir Hubert
said:
The fact that so or so
experienced submarine men are
not only willing, but anxious,
20 make the adventure shows
that they have some faith that
We will reach the North Pole
and return successfully on our
approaching trip under the
ice."
AS yet no selection has been
made as to Grimmer's successor.
Further Tests Made
The Wilkin s-Ellsworth sub.
marine, now formally chriStened
Nautilus, after the famous Jules
Verne dream boat, will leave her
berth in The Brooklyn Navy Yard
at 8 a. m, tomorrow for a
further trial run, under her
own power, to Yonkers, N. Y.
At YonkerS the boat will un-
dergo mechanical tests at the New
York Engineering Company plant.
The three ice drills, on which
the Nautilus will depend to gain
air while under the Arctic ice, will
be given a preliminary test. Some
time also will be spent tuning the
Nautilus two 5OO-horsepower Die
SCI engines.

SAVANT SEES END
OF GOLD STANDARD
Bankers Now Regulate Flow
of Credit, Edie Declares,
Scoring instability.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 19.-The tradi-
tional gold standard is being replaced
w a banker Standard" in the opinion
of Lionel D. Edie vice president CT the
American Capital Corporation and
formerly professor Of finance at the
University Of Chicago
This banker standard. by artificially
extending credit facilities beyond reason
and without regulation. virtually has
prevented gold from acting as the basis
from which credit should flow, Edie
says in his bcok, The Banks and Pros
perity," published last week.
Holds Term Fits Change.
The term banker standard lis fitting
and proper because it emphasizes the
responsibility the central bankers have
usurped for themselves" Edie says.
They have arrogated to themselves the
right and power to say during boom
times that credit shall be allowed to
expand two to three times as rapidly
as the long-term growth either of geld
stock or of industrial production.
And equally they have arrogated to
themselves the right and power to say
during slump times that the reserve
base Of member bank credit shall be al
lowed to shrink AS fast as the mob
psychology CT a frightened community
OF private bankers dictates.
Says Gold Standard Passes.
This banker standard has given the
world the most unstable peace-time
monetary structure and price level that
the world has had in the past century.
What is transpirirg under the sur
face of things is nothing less than the
passing of the gold standard
Edie then calls on the central banks
to regulate credit more in accord with
basic economic demands by balancing
the disparity between the normal influx
Of gold and the probably more rapid
growth of industrial production.
