FLIGHT Of DOLLAR
INVISIBLE ABROAD
Neither British Securities Nor
Bank Deposits Indicate
Capital Seeks Escape.
BY NEGLEY FARSON.


LONDON, England, November IT,
Where Is it going? Who Is buying the
Roosevelt dollars?
That Is what London wants to know.
There has been a flight of more than
$4,000, 100000, according to the New
York correspondent of the London
Financial Times, who cites Federal Re-
serve statistics to substantiate his claim.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
he declares. a week ago estimated the
dollar flight at 81 ,350, 100000.
Such alarming statements are now
beginning to be regarded as dangerous
by savoring Of "Wall Street" propa-
ganda, according to the steadiest Lon
don financial experts.
They point out that there has been no
flight Of American capital into British
stocks or securities, as they have fallen.
No appreciable flight has occurred into
foreign commodities, except a small
amount Of American buying of It's own
cotton at Liverpool, as there has been
a worldwide fall In sterling values in
Roosevelt's Inauguration Of his present
gold policy.
There has been no increase Of de-
posits in the key institution, the Bank
OF England. and therefore no increase Of
bank deposits throughout Great Britain,
1t is pointed out. The question Is raised
here, What professional foreign exchange
speculator would buy dollars In aggre-
gate anywhere near the figures of the
flight Of American capital as broadcast
from certain New York so-called finan-
cial correspondents?
It Is known that there has been fair
" heavy buying for private American
account Of gold In Paris, individuals
thereby following the American Gov
ernment's gold policy. There has been
certain amount Of gold bought this
way In London. This gold is not ship
ped to the United States, but allowed
to remain IN Paris and London.
10000, 900 francs % franc is about 612
cents) worth of gold was left In the
vaults Of that bank during the week
land, 1t Is known. bought more than
the British exchange equilization fund
to support the franc and curb the rise
In sterling.
Some 100000 francs in gold, as
revealed IN these dispatches yesterday,
were bought by the American adminis-
tration under President Roosevelt's gold
policy. No indications are visible, there
fore Of q flight Of United States cap
ital into foreign gold.
There remains merely the favorable
balance of American export trade,
which could be left abroad.
None Of this, or all added together,
could be anywhere near the total flight
of American capital Of $4,000, ,0o0, 900,
which certain interested quarters in
New York and Washington are trying
to alarm the world into believing.

you Will see the issue raised again and

fought over and over by each succeed
ing generation.
None Of you can doubt responsibility
there. But another responsibility lies
heavily on you, too. We are in an age
Of revolution, and it will be for the COM
ing generation to decide whether the
press shall be kept decent enough and
respectable enough to be worth fighting
for. For it is too-often-f forgotten
axiom that great institutions seldom
perish under attacks from without.
They crumble from within.
Let us remember that through the
years American journalism viii stand If
it maintains its inward greatness, and
will fall Of 1t loses it,"
Price said that greatness twas builded
on truth and fairness in the printed
word"

into thinking 1t was builded on the
publication of gossip and rumor, wise
cracks and insinuations, scandal for
scandals sake, libel and misstatement
for the sake of sensation. 1t always Is
easy to write strikingly If you do so
irresponsibly; but the truth does not
always go about clothed in such bril-
liant colors.
The American people made the Con-
stitution, and wrote into it the guaran-
tee OF free press. The American peo-
pie can remove that guarantee when
they choose. They are not likely to do
so as long as the press maintains its
prestige as an honored and responsible
