What's What
Behind News
in Capital:
Orthodox Economists in
Lather Over Presidents
Money Program.
BY PAUL MALLON.

~ RTHODox economists are
weeping In their boards about
the way Mr.. Roosevelt is
~ handling the money problem.
They have worked them
selves into a lather of pessimism.
When the President decided to 60
into the international gold market, they
saw it as confession that his domestic
gold policy had failed. They also knew
Europe had the machinery to thwart
the Presidents new efforts. They eX-
pected all the European groups would
make q secret or open agreement not
to sell gold to us.
Consequently they expected Mr..
Roosevelt to turn his high-price
strategy in neU direction at the
first opportunity They thought ne
through r. F. C. debentures or
Treasury notes.
These economists are employed large
ly by banks and big business houses as
advisers. Their word swept through
the inner industrial and financial
circles. Their influence is great.
Orthodoxy Not in Control.
Perhaps everything they say is true.
Very likely things will come out as
they predict.
But the thing to remember is that
orthodox economists are not planning
this maneuver. Mr.. Roosevelt cut away
from them at the start. They were just
as excited when he went off the gold
standard. They said it meant a race
for the bottom between the dollar and
the pound. They predicted an interna-
tional currency war. 1t did not come
to pass.

The immediate work of the Disarm-

To aid him in this work, Wilson is
keeping the same sort of staff he had
when disarmament took a long recess
in 1882.
It includes Col. George Strong, who
began his activities at Geneva in 1926;
Maj. William GoetZ, Ferdinand Myer,
