are faced with the alternative either
of giving up the present policy or
of the meeting of government ex-
penditures with additional money"
Having finally lost all hope that
the President might be persuaded
to change his course before 1t is
too late, Professor Sprague said he
was resigning to take the field
against the Roosevelt policy, be-
lieving that the last chance of avert
ing a currency imitation debacle lies
In arousing public opinion.
Another of the Presidents finan-
cial advisers, though unofficial,
James P. Warburg, New York bank
er, joins with Sprague in protest
against the present monetary poll
cies. Like the professor, he will
undertake to arouse public opinion
against them. This he announced at
q meeting of the American Acad-
envy of Political Science in Phila-
delphia. At the same meeting Prof.

the Presidents monetary policy was
substantially right; and Senator
Thomas of Oklahoma asserted that
he was opposed to imitation, which
will cause general surprise.
Members of the advisory council
of the federal reserve board, COM
posed of prominent bankers in each
federal. reserve district, met in
Washington and adopted a resolu-
ton favoring the re-establishment
of the currency on gold basis, to-
gether with safeguards to be agreed
upon by international action. The
resolution was circulated privately
among all the member banks in the
federal reserve system.

ment's credit, preventing the expan-
sion of normal credit and prOlong-
ing the decentralization of foreign
trade-in other words, doing just
the opposite of what Mr.. Roosevelt
hopes it will do. The directors de-
manded of the administration 'com-
plete avoidance of monetary expert
mentation, greenbackism and fiat
money"
Until this time the chamber has
been supporting the President and
Mr.. Hartman has been active in
promoting the aims of the admins
tration. He attended the meeting of
the board, IS did P. w. Litchfield,
president Of the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber company; Redield Proctor,
president of the Vermont Marble
company; Paul Shoup, vice presi-
dent of the Southern Pacific rail-
road; Chester I. Barnard, president
of the New Jersey Bell Telephone
company, and nearly all the rest
of the So directors.
Besides attacking the Presidents
monetary policy, the board adopted
three other resolutions of similar
tenor. One protested against the ex-
penditure of large sums by the pub
lie works administration for financ-
Ing projects in competition with
private business enterprises which
are now rendering adequate service
at reasonable cost.
Another protested against the
public works administrations plan
to engage in the building of federal
housing projects, and insisted that
such financing should be through
private housing corporations.
In resolution on the MIRA, the
chamber urged that Industrial codes
should be administered through the
trade associations Of each industry.

iterated the administrations policy
of recognizing any government, re-
CARELESS of it's partisan or fractional
color, which proved itself repre-
sentative of its people and able to
secure their support. But it was
made clear that the present Cuban
government, assailed as it has been
by one revolutionary attempt after
another, did not at present meet
these conditions.
Mr.. Roosevelt supplemented his
statement by the announcement
that, though Ambassador Welles
would return to his post in Havana
after visiting Washington, he would
soon be replaced by Jefferson CAT
fiery and would resume his former
position as assistant secretary of
state for Latin American affairs.

Russians. Within day or so the
Soviet government announced that
its ambassador to Washington
would be Alexander Antonovich
Troyanovsky, formerly diplomatic
representative at Tokyo and now
vice chairman Of the Russian state
planning commission. This gentle
man was born in Russia in 1882,
studied in the University of Kiev,
was exiled to Siberia in 1909, es-
capped and lived in France until
1917, and served in the Russian rev.
dictionary army.
With recognition by our govern
ment, Russia agrees not to allow its
agents to propagandize against the
government of the United States;
guarantees religious freedom and
legal protection for American ma
tionals in Russia, and valves all
claims against the United States
growing out of the American expe-
dition into Siberia in 1851. No
promise whatever was made by Mr..
Litvinov concerning the attitude of
his government toward the payment
of $76S, 5S3,O00 in debts owed by
Russia to the United States govern
ment and to private American citi-
zens. H. ~@#

This is in full accord with Mr..
Welles' desires though he has been
unwilling to retire from Havana
under the heavy fire directed
against him by the supporters OF
the Grau government. The latter
had been organizing a great protest
demonstration designed to keep the
ambassador from landing at the
Havana docks and serious trouble
was feared. Mr.. Roosevelt's an
nouncement it was hoped would
ease this tense situation.

swer to these protests against
his policies, as obtained by Wash
ington officials who communicated
with him at Warm Springs, was to
direct that the program of depreci-
ating the dollar for the purpose of
raising commodity prices be con-
tinued.
The action of the chamber was
coincident with the delivery of an
address by Mr.. Roosevelt at Savan-
nah, Ca, in which he denounced the
critics of his recovery program as
tories" and "doubting Thomases"
and warmly defended the "experi-
ments" he is making. He promised
that "the principles and detectives
of American self-government will
remain the same"
Washington correspondents said
that an ambitious second-stage re-
construction program was being
formulated there for the President
in his absence. Important features
of this plan are sound money on
devalued gold standard; a balanced
budget to come from proceeds of
devaluation, liquor monopoly and
other painless" revenues; a re-
vived foreign trade on parity cur
rency and real progress in resump-
ton of foreign debt collections.

INDEPENDENCE DAY

July marks the 18TH anniversary of
the adoption of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence by the Continental Congress, and the
birth of our nation. AS time has proved,
this was one of the most significant legis-
lative acts in the history of the world
The idea of separation of the Ameri-
can colonies from England was first ex-
pressed in the Congress through a resolu-
ton by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia on
June Z, 1776, but it was not passed imme-
diately A committee composed of Thomas
Jefferson as chairman, John Adams, Ben
ja1nin Franklin, r. r. Livingston and Roger
Sherman was appointed on June 10 to draw
up suitable declaration in accordance
with Lees resolution, and the drafting of
the immortal document was entrusted to
Jefferson.
The Declaration as written by Jeffer-
son, with slight amendments by Franklin
and Adams, was presented to the Congress
on June %. Lees resolution was passed
on July 2, and the Declaration of Indepen-
dence was adopted on July A.
After the formal document had been
engrossed on parchment it was signed by
the delegates present in Congress on Aug
ust 2, 1776, and by the absentees on later
dates One delegate, Mexican of Dele
ware, did not sign until 1881.
OF the Sc signers, were not members
of Congress on July A, and of those present
on that day never signed the Declaration.
All except of the signers were born on
American soil; "a were lawyers, 13 plant
ers or farmers, 9 merchants, 5 physicians,
2 mechanics, l clergyman mason and 1
surveyor.
Two of the signers, Adams and JEFF
ferson, became president. Nearly all played
important parts in the early days of the re-
public. 1t is fitting that we should pay
tribute to their memory on Independence
Day.

FIRST BATTLE FLAG

The question of when and where the
American flag with stars and stripes was
first carried in battle has been the subject
of much controversy among historians ever
Asince the Revolution. In fact, in spite
of the Betsy Ross tradition, the origin of
the flag is uncertain
It is matter of history that the flag
of Ii stars and 13 stripes was adopted by
Congress on June Id, 1777, but the exact
date on which the first flag was made is
unknown.
AS to the flags first display in bat
tie, there have been conflicting claims I'M
til recently it was generally supposed that
this occurred at Fort Schuyler, N. Y, on
August 3, 1777 when that post was be-
sieged by the British. The flag used on
that occasion was said to have been made
from blue jacket and soldiers wife's
red petticoat, with stars cut from a white
shirt
War Department officials who have
recently made researches with view to
clearing up the matter now declare that
the evidence favors Coochs Bridge, Del, as
the place where the first battle flag with
stars and stripes was unfurled This was
during skirmish which preceded the bat
tie of Brandywine, and occurred on Sep
TENDER 8, 1777.
All of which is interesting, though not
of great Importance. The important thing
is that the Stars and Stripes still floats as
the symbol of freedom and equality of OPP
portunity The fact that the principles
for which it stands are sometimes violated
does not materially detract from its sub
lime symbolism
