Should this prove to be the case, it is not improbable that Eneland's example may be followed by other nations which adhere to the gold standard and particularly by those who are dependent up- on foreign trade for an inn portant measure of their in- dustrial prosperity, as they may thus participate with England in supplying the trade demands of the silver using nations, most of which would otherwise go to Britain. Such a movement would in all prob ability result eventually in similar action by the United States, whose prosperity, prob ably more than any other country, is dependent upon foreign trade.

England's Action Beneficial

Britain's abandonment of the gold standard, while a great surprise to a majority of people, was not unexpected by those who have observed care fully the trend of world finan- ces in recent months. Such action was, in fact, forced up- on her by long continued with drawals of foreign credits from the Bank of England, virtually all of which were payable in gold on demand.
 The official statement issued by the British government sus- pending the gold standard states that these withdrawals have amounted since July to the stupendous total of ap- proXimately one billion dollars.
 Runs" on the Bank of Eng land began as early as July 25, when gold to the amount of $145,500,000 was withdrawn from the Bank of England in a few days. As a result of the continued drains of gold since that time, the gold reserves finally became so depleted, in spite of immense credits ex- tended by France and the Fed eral Reserve banks of the Unit ed States, that further stabil- ization of the pound sterling could be maintained no longer.
 Faced with a crisis of such character, the government had virtually no other recourse than to suspend payments in gold as far as possible by aban- doning it's adherence to the gold standard.
 Thus Britain's action means that, for the time being at least, she will suspend pay ments within the British em- pire on the gold parity fixed in 1925, when the gold stand ard was resumed after suspen- sion during the Great War. The effects of such action will thus be confined almost entirely within the empire and will affect foreign creditors
Hyder weekly herald., 1931-10-03

hardly at all, inasmueh as government obligations to for eign countries which were con- tracted on a gold basis will be met at the gold rate when they fall due.
 In the present situation Eng land, instead of paying all her bills in gold and demanding gold in exchange, will pay hel bills in silver where silver is acceptable and accept silver i'll payment of debts owed to her.
 From this it will be seen that Britain's abandonment of the gold standard possesses a peculiar local interest, for the reason that it will have the ef- feet of enhancing silver prices.
 The change will also tend to induce an increase of Brit aims export trade with the silver using nations, who lately have been unable to purchase numerous commodities in the world markets owing to the small purchasing value of their &ilver money.
 Thus, while the ultimate eff fleets of the change are not clearly discernable at present, 1t is plainly seen that the inn mediate effect will be a mark ed increase in the demand for British goods, with resultant benefits to English industry and production as a result of m acceleration of purchases rom the silver-using countries.
 Press reports indicate that financial experts are of the opinion that Britain's action will be a distinct benefit-to the nation under present condit- ions. J. P. Morgan, famous in- ernational financier, has char acterized the action as "a hopeful and not a discouraging ign" while lesser financial ights appear unanimous in
 he view that it is constructive
 ather than depressive, while not a few concede that it will probably have the effect of enhancing the value of silver to a marked degree.

 A meeting of residents and owners of property on the so- called piled area will be held Thursday night for the purpose of considering the matter of fire protection and the dispos- Il of the funds which have ac- cumulated for this purpose. Senator John Roman has been chosen as representative )f the Hyder mineral exhibit 1t the Chicago meeting of the American Mining Congress-. This selection verifies our re- cent statement that the Hyder Alaska Mining Congress could be depended upon to select a competent representative. The committee and the community are both to be congratulated.

 A meeting was held in Pioneer Hall last night to consider the school situation. The school board outlined to those pres ent the steps taken; stating that the O'Conner building. 2Ox26 feet in size, has been secured for a school house; part of the school supplies had arrived, and the balance, as we'll as the teacher, was ex- pected on the next trip of the Carmen. The building will have to be moved back a piece from the river, which will be done by volunteer labor. An entertainment will probably be held to raise funds to defray expenses, such as fuel and ian itor work.

But it makes one wonder. Just how
much may children ask of their moth
ers, anyway? We talk good deal OF
what mothers may demand of their
children, and We are whiting 1t down
year after year; we are taking 1t farther
and farther away from the old Oriental
idea that the parents are semi-divine,
that sons and daughters-yes, and sons
in-law and daughters-in-law, too-owe
the old people complete fealty, are to
be directed and controlled by them as
long as these same old persons shall

We know. however much We hate to

dren that they do to us. It's a sad
truth, but it's truth none the less. They
want to get away from us and lead
their own lives; We want them always
with us, always to be tucked up at
night, always to ask moher about the
days plans.
They love us, of course, truly and
deeply, but loving us doesn't mean they

THOSE two lone flyers successfully
crossed the ocean in July and
landed in Moscow; but they weren't
happy. They hadn't broken any rec
ord there. They flew on to Siberia a
few days later and came down with a
broken wing.
Knowing that they were down on
the earth, and whole, probably gave the
distraught mothers a few nights OF

men were arrested in Japan charged

She did all this after having written
to try to dlssuade him; suggesting that
they put the plane on boat and come
home. But their hearts were set on the
further venture, and mother-like, when
she realized that, she gave in.
On october 3 these two men left
SsmuSh1ro Beach, near Toxic. and up
into the unknown and uncharted air
they buzzed, casting off their landing
gear as they started, to tighten the
alrship. Tighten it they unquestionably
did, but they thereby added to all the
dangers they were already facing, the
terrible one of a bad landing They
knew, during those Al hours, that they
might indeed break record. that they
might indeed reach Wenatchee, Wash,
safely, only to come down to the ground
in a mass of crushed wings, smashed
engines, and what Kipling eloquently
describes as red waste"
This probably occurred to the moth
ers, too.
WELL, it is all air history now, that
glorious history that the younger
generations take SO cheerfully for
granted at the breakfast table. Pang-

through empty space, snatching maps,
eating sandwiches, watching dtalS.
Once their engine went dead, and for
a long time the airship was weighted
with that horror of the air, ice filming
and packing on the wings.

their flight. more exciting than the
start from Toxic at O'Clock on a Sat-
urday afternoon, or the triumphant
landing at Wenatchee, Wash, in the
United States of America, at 7:15 on
the Monday morning following, was the
newspaper report on Sunday that down
to the lonely, fog-wrapped storm
shrouded Aleutian Islands, up in the
Bering Sea, had dropped the throbbing
beat of that steadily pulsing airplane,
fighting its way onward to its goal.
The Aleutian Islands, and the Ber1ng
Sea sound desolute enough anyway;
they suggest nothing but frozen noses,
pemmican, bergs, ice-packs and a six

a lonelier country still; theirs were
dangers that made even the Aleutians
seem cosy and homelike.
