economic situation throughout the

The Virginia Senator, who has just
returned to the Capital from the
Geneva Arms Conference, where he was
situation after he had reviewed the
work Of the arms conference He was
optimistic over the outlook for an
eventual reduction of world armaments.
but added his belief that plain talk"
will be required. He also pointed out
that future political conditions in
Europe will have bearing on the
problem.
The Senator withheld an opinion
on the inclusion Of war debt revision
in a general economic parley as pro-
posed by Senator Borah.
Asks Tariff Barriers Removed.
He Joined with Gov Roosevelt, the
Democratic presidential nominee, in
advocating removal of tariff barriers

national trade.
Representative Montague, another
Virginia Democrat returning yesterday
from the Interparliamentary Union

ton for removal of tariff walls and
said the European debtors were not

II think conditions In Germany are
more favorable than many people be-

at Lausanne on reparations and Ger
many's adherence to the Franco British

moves one of the most troublesome
questions politically and financially in

from Brazil which again favored silver. In the 1850's the Allison Ranch Mine in Grass Valley for a short time produced ore which yielded $200 to $500 gold per ton. This caused fear of an overproduc- tion of gold. But the Allison Ranch Mine has long been forgotten and the Comstock is only memory.
 Influence of the Comstock Lode
 To the Comstock we probably owe the demonstration of silver in the United States at least. The total production of the Cornstock mines from their discovery in 1859 until the end of the bonanza period in 1880 is estimated at 6,500,000 tons, which yielded some $312,0OO, ' 900, 55 per cent of which yield was in silver figured at $l.29 per ounce and the remaining 45 per cent in gold This ore was all mined from above depth of 1700 it. With the exception of some worked-out silver mines in Mexico, know of no deeper so-called silver mines in the world. It is also to be noted in this connection that gold is now being profitably won from a depth of over 7600 it. in the ,Transvaal District in South Africa.
 Talk of Conference,
 Much talk is now heard con- cerning an economic or a monetary conference, between representatives of the Western nations. It has been discussed whether such a con- ference should be called to con- slider, among other subjects, some employment of silver as a money basis, either coequal with or as subsidiary to the present stocks. of gold. It is also suggested that such conference might consider a per- centage reduction in the gold con- tent of the coins of the nations, such as the dollar, the franc, the krone, and the mark. As already mentioned, it has been hinted that the British standard may be re- duced; it is difficult to see how some of the other coins can be much further reduced without van ishing. Britain is talking of de- valuing the pound from $4.86+ to about $S.50, or less. Thus she would have six or more of her sov- ereigns per ounce of gold, compared with her and one-fourth sover- eigns per ounce of gold prior to last September, and compared with her one sovereign silver equivalent
The Daily Alaska empire., 1932-09-20

per ounce of gold in the period from 1900 to 150O This is multi plying money six or seven times in about 500 years; but why wait that long when silver could do the trick in a much shorter time? We have seen the money imitation necessary for rulers who seek thus to pay debts; but why not have money imitation based on gold and silver. not on the printing press, to raise commodity prices and to revive employment? m
 Risk Is Taken
 An investor in any of our bonds or other securities (asuming hon. esty of the issue) payable in gold of the present standard of weight and fineness is gambling on the relative purchasing power of gold at the time he buys his securities compared with the purchasing pow CT of gold at the time his securities become due. Such an investor gains if commodity prices are low and he loses if commodity prices are high when his investment be- comes due. The weight and fine ness of gold remains the same; but commodity prices are low or high, depending upon supply and de- mand, upon the supply of money and upon public confidence, which modern rulers abuse from time to time, just as ancient rulers did The effort in Europe today to find a way to pay international debts with less gold than was originally promised, would not be so acute problem if commodity prices were not SO low.
 The Question of Commodity Prices 2 The vertical drop in commodity prices since the autumn of 1929 has produced an acute situation of even greater and more immediate importance than is the ever present question of taxes. In my opinion the U. s. Chamber of Commerce would do more good if it gave the same attention to raising com modity prices that it is giving to weeping over the question of taxes. That is, I know of business that could laugh at taxes if a certain commodity price were normal. This matter of commodity prices is not so much question of so-called stabilization as it is matter of fairness between creditor and debt or, and of much more importance, Continued on Page Four)

 Old Placer Diggings ..e W Q Certainly no production of con- sequence can come from people who havebeen recently taking placer mining lessons and have been going to such worked-out placer fields in the Northwest, in Colorado and in California as can be reached by automobile These placer fields were originally worked out by the bold and venturesome pioneers of the West, who took no lessons and did not disdainl to walk The re- mains of their oldrtime ditch lines and the scars of their hazardous work can still be seen, because their original ,diggings were all sub sequently worked over in g fine-i tooth -comb7and tooth : brush man. ner by the frugal and thrifty Chinaman.
