popularity supposed to open up
markets for our products. Steps
were taken to extend the sys-
tenn of processing taxes" and
raise such taxes already In ex.
istence. Further steps to ad'
vance Government funds to
farmers were Speeded up.
Concerning the Russia move, a
little thought will show that its
Importance can easily be exagger-
ated. Russia has been trading
with us right along.
Gist Of Proposals
But the main reply of the Ad-
miniStration to the farmers came
in RooSevelt's Sunday evening
broadcast. Briefly his proposals
now are:
l. A pledge to boost commodity
prices.
2. A definite statement that the
dollar will not be revalued until
prices are raised.
3. An open acknowledgment
that a managed currency" sys-
tenn is to be adopted.
4. A clear implication that the
sO-called Commodity dollar" is
contemplated.
5. The announcement Of q
policy" Of manipulating the dol
lar through operations in the
gold market.
No free and open gold market
is to be allowed, but the Govern
ment is to buy and sell gold. The
apparent purpose is to raise the
price Of gold in paper dollars,
which, of course, means depreci.
ating the paper dollar.
Further Depreciation
The Governments operations
are to extend to foreign gold mar
kets, but not so much for the pur-
pose Of Stabilizing exchange rates,
as England does, as to put gold
up and depreciate the dollar in
the United States.
This clearly means a further
depreciation in our currency. 1t
means initiation. This is the
Presidents real answer to the
farmers. He will not at present
print new kinds Of paper money,
but he will seek the same re-
suits by reducing further the
purchasing power of the paper
money we already have.
AS I have said before, those
who want initiation and depreci-
ated currency need not worry.

CLOTH MARKET FAIR

NEW YORK. Oct. 25 G.N.s).-The
coarse yarn cloths market was mod
erately active today with prices un-
changed in first hands and with second
hand offerings on the wane.
AS yet the bull movement in specula-
tive markets has failed to stimulate any
heavy purchasing of goods with re-
sultant price advances. since most buy
ers were inclined to doubt that immedi-
ate Initiation is to he expected. The ad-
ministration's gold plan was thought
likely to cause an internal initiation in
some of the remaining gold countries
which might be sufficiently drastic to
drive them off the gold standard.

Strong consumer resistance TO
higher prices is shown.

were reactionary last week. But
a sharp rally in wheat and corn,

tions in the market, enabled some
averages to show a fractional
rise.
Many Price Declines
Price declines occurred in cop
per, lead, steel scrap, cotton yarns
and cloth, silk, sugar, rubber,
tin, paint materials, cotton seed

ing out beforehand that the play
may not be as good as they had
anticipated, have made it practice
of opening cold"
Therefore, Washingtonians should
be surprised, and pleased, that at
this late day in the year, they should
be sent such work as BEST Seller"
or BEST Sellers" as it seems to be
now, which Mr.. Lee Shubert Is
sending us, come Monday night.
The fact that this is to be an
opening of consequence (without,
perhaps. the fury that went into
Miss Bankhead's premiere) is wit
messed by the Broadway bards who
are coming down to pay their re-
spects to this play. Among those
whom you will note in the audience
df the suddenly out-of-their-m minds
chiefs of the local American Theater
Society let you in) will be Lee Shu-
bert. Joseph M Gates, John V. A.
Weaver, author and husband of
Peggy Wood; Mrs Ernest Truck,
Mrs, Dorothy Cheston Bennett, widow
of Arnold Bennett; F. Cowles Strick-
land, A. H. Woods, John Byram OF
the story department Of Paramount
Studios; Arthur Pollock, critic of the
Brooklyn Eagle, and c. P. Greneker,
general press representative for the
Messrs. Shubert.
The company, headed by Peggy
Wood and Ernest Truck and in
cluding the current cinema favorite,
Ian Keith, will arrive here tomor-
row. Today you may see the tech
nical staff and the scenery going
into the National. And If you are
fortunate enough, you may be al
lowed (if you are a cousin, or a
sister, or an aunt of one of the play
ers) to watch two complete perform
ances of the play, which will be in
rehearsal at the theater both tomor-
row and Easter Sunday.
Incidentally, if you do not believe
that Washington is fortunate in get
ting an advance look at this play,
here Is a list of the productions
which will have no. try-outs before
appearing on Broadway: "For Serv-
ices Rendered" the new Maughan
play now playing on Broadway,
which was banned in England; the
new Beckhard production, THE
Comic Artist; Laurette Taylor's
