SCRIPT AND BARTER M Aasri ssb.;t Ms.s
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
BY J. r. BRACKET
(By Associated PressD

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Unem-
ployed America is making new
"money'-not silver coins or
greenbacks-but scrip used to
build up barter.
Products worth millions of dol
lars are being "swapped' in the
United States and between ST.
900, 900 and $2,000,000 in some
form of scrip money now is in
circulation, according to the esti-
mates of Jacob Baker, operations
director of the Emergency Ex-
change Association.
Many Groups Organized
About $50 groups are formally
organized to facilitate this swap
ping which has sprung from the
crossroads to the status of real
aid to the unemployed.
In their further development,
Baker and others interested in
barter's extension envisage the
possibility of nationwide inter-
change of goods-and possibly the
use of the moneys" of the various
exchanges among themselves to
aid the process. Other economists
doubt the system will reach much
beyond local boundaries.
Many of the $50 exchanges al
ready are using scrip, other tokens,
either to represent the goods them
selves, or with real money back
ing in the form of special stamps
sold for cash.
The Emergency Exchange Asso-
citation was organized by group
of business men, economists, en-
gineers, lawyers and industrial
consultants, for the purpose of
bringing together idle men and
the "idIe" goods which the men
want but cannot get through lack
of purchasing power.
Association Fosters Move
Among the organizers were John
Kirkland Clark, president of the
New York State Board of Bar Ex-
aminers; Leland Olds, assistant
chairman of the New York State
Power Authority; Stuart Chase,
economist; and Frank Graham,
Princeton University economist.
The association is aiding in the
development of exchanges in the
east; is correlating information
for guidance of other organizers
throughout the country, and ulti-
mately hopes to provide for ex-
change of goods and services
among exchanges in different To-
calities throughout the nation.
Barter starts with the simple
swapping of, for instance, wheat
for flour; or a few hours labor for
food. As more individuals seek to

change. AS it grew the organiza-
ton of exchanges became rather
difficult bookkeeping. To simplify
matters, the exchange introduced
its own scrip money, paid the lab
Orers in scrip, and persuaded groc-
ers and others to accept it. This
paper is redeemable in goods and
services, and has no other value.
There is no legal money in the
transaction. .s> !.
In Hawarden, Iowa, the city gov
eminent paid out $500 in scrip to
the unemployed for road work. On
the back of each note were SO
squares. Before each transaction
the holder of the money had to
fix a three-cent stamp, purchas-
able from the local government,
before the money could pass.
When the money has been used
SO times, it could be redeemed for
81 in legal currency from the city
government, the extra charge be-
ing for costs. If all the $500 turn
