Voluntary Crop Adjustment m 1892 to Put Farmers On
 Recouery Road, Hyde Says

1881, output of manufactured arti- cles was 35 per cent smaller than the June, 1929, while the total crop acreage, which in 1880 had in- creased 0.5 per cent over 1929, showed no material reduction in 1881.
 During the same time the value of agricultural exports has de- clined 25 per cent and the domestic demand fallen to an extent rarely before equalled in SO short a time.

MORGAN TAKES BACkWATER ON
 SEAL REVENUE
Department of Commerce Head Reverses Position
 Originally Taken

Abandonment of the hostile at- titude of the Department of Con- merce in the matter of alloting to Alaska share of the seal reve- nues from the Pribilof Islands herds is revealed in letter just received by the Chamber of Com merce from E. F. Morgan, Acting Secretary, who assured the organi- zation of friendly feelings in any cause that will promote the welfare of Alaska.

 CURRENCY BASIS DEMANDS STUDY
All-Important Mo etary System to Receive At-
 tention Tn 1852
By F. H. BROWNELL Chairman American Smelling and Refining Company

Refining Company NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The pres ent outlook is that during this year the world will give increasing attention to the all-important prob- lem of monetary systems. Whether the gold production of the world can meet the increasing demands of all the nations of the world, if solely on gold basis with out the use of silver, is seriously questioned.
 Even if inadequacy of production is assumed, present distribution of gold stocks of the world is sucA as to make difficult, if not impos- sible, the use of gold alone.
 Silver Use Declines
 The monetary use of silver by European nations was greatly les- sened after the war. Many nations, including even India, sold the silver obtained from coins. It was this sale of silver formerly used as money that caused the unpreceden- ted fall in the price of silver dur ing the last two years.
 But half the people of the world still use silver more than gold in their monetary transactions.
 Doubt still exists as to the pre- petuity and solvency of many ex- isting nations, and doubt will probably always exist as to the fi- nancial wisdom and integrity which may be exercised by frequently changing administrations and gov ernments. Hence, paper money has sufficient stability only when it rests upon an adequate metallic basis-gold or silver or both.

 Building is the biggest consumer of steel but there appears no defi- nite indication of a revival in that industry.
