WORLD WAR BLAMED
IN BRITISH CRISIS
Bookings Institution Says Gold
Was Not Responsible in
Economic Troubles.

'"The recent action Of the British
government In suspending the gold
standard appears to have been inter-
preted In many quarters as an indica-
ton that the gold standard Is come
how responsible for Great Brltains
economic difficulties and that its aban-
donment has been conceived as means
of promoting economic recovery" says
the Brookings Institution, on jackson
place.
In Great Britain are primarily attribu-
table to the profound readjustnents
produced by the World War and the
consequent loss Of markets for British
goods. The cumulative effects finally
manifested themselves in a severe finan-
ciaI crisis. The attending loss of con-
fidence has resulted in transfer OF de-
posts and investment to foreign coun-
tries-a flight from the pound-a
phenomenon similar to that witnessed
In recent years in numerous European
countries. In order to prevent COM
plete exhaustion of its gold reserves,
the British government was obliged to
suspend gold payments, even though the
pound should temporarily decline in
value.
THE six months suspension of the
gold standard and the depreciation of
the pound has suggested the POSSIBLE
ity of an infiationary movement similar
to that when Britain and other Euro
pean countries went off the gold stand
ard during the World War. Conditions
are, however. fundamentally different.
Then war requirements had set up an
intense demand for goods and both
domestic and foreign loans on a vast
scale were being hoated to finance
war trade operations. At the present
juncture, however a drastic program of
economy has Just been inaugurated.
while a decline in the foreign ex-
change value of the pound might serve
as a slight stimulus to British exports,
financial experience shows that such a
stimulus can be only temporary in
character. Moreover there would be
offsetting disadvantages from the point
of view Of London's position as flnan-
cial center. The British action must,
therefore, be regarded merely as de-
fensive financial measure and not as a
solution Of fundamental economic diff
ficultieS.
During the breathing spell thus at
forded 1t Is the hope that the govern
.ment's finances may be placed on a
thoroughly sound basis and that con-
structive economic policies may be In
augurated."

CHICAGO, September 26.-Mrs. Irena
Castle Mclaughlin, friend of homeless
animals, knows a thing or two about
pigs
Trim, In tailored blue and white, she
went to court to prove her knowledge
about swine yesterday when Judge John
Prytalsh began hearing an appeal of
William Schroeder, a farmer of near
Wheeling, Ill, who was fined $40 in a
lower court on Mrs McLaughlin'e
charge that he was cruel to his pigs.
She testified that the pigs she knew
as girl on a farm near New. Rochelle,
N. Y, had their beds changed every
morning and had plenty Of water,
whereas Mr. Schroeder's had to break
the ice In their trough If they wanted
to drink.
Further testimony VIII be heard Mon
day.
The Lake Forest society woman, who
is scintillating figure on Chicago's
North Side bride paths, seemed de-
cidedly bored, but not at all angry, with

scale is union labor. One of the out
standing developments of the week has
been the beginning of an adjustment
in this direction intended to clear up
many artificial barriers to the return
of Industrial activity.
The Department of Labor, which
persistently protests against any cut in
union wages, has just reported q de-
crease OF Ill per cent in the cost of
living since 1929. More significant,
however, than the general average
change Is the drop in this period of
23.5 per cent In foodstuffs and nearly
IA per cent in this item in the six
month period ending June 80. Rents,
clothing and fuel are down from to
So per cent. In the matter of the
much discussed standard Of living"
this is important to the millions of the
so-called white collar" class, whose
average cut in the unit of pay and in
the number of days work per week or
per month exceeds the 10 per cent to
be put into effect by some of the big
industrial organizations.
Foundations for Progress.
The significance of Premier Laval's
visit to the United States next month
is outwardly political, but inwardly eco
nomic, just as Is that of Gandhi to Lon
don. 1t is one more of those astonish-
ing departures from precedent and ETH
quette which makes the statesman of
1881 so much more representative of
his people than the men who brought
about the Great War and whose in
duence on European politics is still
visible
The credit crises in Germany and in
Great Britain, with all of their dis
tressing consequences, are just as surely
bound to bring about better under
standing between France and Germany.
France and Great Britain, Italy and
France, France and the United States,
as day is to follow night. And out of
all of the material conditions that are
today trying mems souls, in the midst
of the worst panic that the world. has.
ever known, there will come, because.
nations are now seeking self pTeserva-
ton and are stripping their budgets of
all unessentials, condition of world
peace that could not have been arrived
at In a decade Of negotiations during
prosperous times. This will be the
foundation on which the next forward
movement in industry will be erected.
