parliament and approved by the king,
and the gold standard act was thus
suspended for six months. Whether
the nation will go back to that stand
ard depends on the course of events.
Though the governments decision
was not announced until Sunday night,
1t was reached several days earlier
and the rulers of America and France
were warned. In the stock exchanges
Of both countries a check was put on
short selling, so the evil effects were
minimized and the bears held under

Chancellor Snowden, always cou-
rageous in difficulties, presented the
case to the house Of commons when
the bill was up for passage and to
the crowded benches and galleries he
had no apologies to make. He cited
the chief reasons for the action as
follows:
The tying up of British funds in
Germany, with it's immediate effect on
the London market.
Criticism abroad concerning the
British governments expenditure in
keeping the unemployed on the dole.
The adverse balance of trade, which
he said has been seized upon and
exaggerated"
The new governments inability to
command a united front in the house
Of commons.
The naval unrest exploited in for
eign newspapers, causing general
nervousness abroad"
Mr.. Snowden explained that as
result of all this people began to take
their possessions away from England,
but added that the actual crisis started
last May with the collapse Of the
chief banks in Australia.
J. p Morgan, who was in London,
gave one of his exceedingly rare in
terviews to the press.
"This step seems to me-" he said,
ito be the second necessary stage in
the work of the national government,
the first being the balancing of the
budget. The completion Of the gov
ernment's work will be the restora-
ton of trade in this country. This
being the case. 1t seems to me to be
q hopeful and not a discouraging
event, and one which brings the great
work Of the government much nearer
to accomplishment"

BEAUTIFUL BUT DUNE

A wonderful optimist is Mahatma NJ.
X Gandhi, leader of the Indian revolt
against British rule.
His optimism extends far beyond hopes
for successful conclusion OF his en-,
deavors to bring better rule TO India and
includes a solution of the crime problem
which. it is rumored. prevails in the
United States of America.
In conversation with American tour
lists. the Little Brown Man was asked
if he would come to this country and the
talk led to a discussion of crime.
The Mahatma, in answer to ques-
ton, stated he believed the American
crime wave could be halted by love, truth,
moral suasion and boycott.
How little the Mahatma knows of our
criminals. and what tribute he pays US
in believing that gentle means Of this
