20 Per Cent of Land in
County ReUerts to State

These penalties are 10 per cent
premium, per cent interest, a So
cent fee to the county treasurer for
each tract and 10 cents for adver-
Using.
Meanwhile, owners of property
turned over to the comptroller are
safe in the occupancy of their
homes for two years, during which
they may make the back payments
and reclaim their titles. Those
whose land was bought by private
purchasers might be given sixty
days notice to vacate, but this is
not usually done.
Many Of the smaller tracts have
been abandoned, according to coun-
ty officials. Their unemployed
owners have left the county seek
ing employment elsewhere.

Other steps taken by the league In its
closing session included:
A protest against the expulsion Of 81
students from City College of New York
for opposition to R. o. T. c.
Resolutions favoring release Of the

In closing address, Edmund Stevens
Of Columbia University pointed out that

militant program: to seek alliance
with the working classes in the fight
against war, for unemployment and for
student campus work; not to adopt the

learn from them the problems OF eco
nomics and social formation.

Council in Politics and the League for
Industrial Democracy at Friends House,

The league will go into a movement,

"demagogic" program of the National
Convention of Students in Politics. how

Improved Gold Standard Recommended
Dr. sprasue in Concluding Article Sees Greatest Hope for
Objective in International Agreement

sufficient intelligence and insight in the
banking community to meet more ade-
quately similar situations in the future.
And finally, If we are to return to
an international gold standard with any
hope Of Immediately satisfactory results
from its working, we must make GER
tain that the various countries return
to gold at equilibrium rates. 1t Is a
primary advantage of the international
gold standard, when it is working effec-
lively, that 1t prevents wide departures
from international economic equili-
brium.
Need Period of Trial.
II the various countries are not in
equilibrium when they return to gold,
we shall encounter the same problem
of readjustment which proved intracta-
BILE during the previous decade. For
this reason I hold that it would be
unwlse to attempt immediate stabiliza-
ton of the currencieS of the countries
that are now on a paper basis. We
need a period of trial and error during
which these countries shall allow ex-
change rates to move freely, or at least
only under such controls as will eliIni-
nate fluctuations.
After a period of one or more years,
during which it has been found that
exchange rates can be maintained with
out great difficulty and with evidence
that international payments are rea-
sonably well balanced, it will be time
enough to take the definite step of
legal currency valuation. Practical
sterilization, in other words, should
precede statutory stabilization.
In the particular case of the United
States, this policy does not require max
ing a decision, even tentatively, as to
the probable rates which will be finally
adopted. 1t simply means abandon
ment of the policy of the manipulating
exchange rates and the maintenance of
sufficient control to eliminate extreme
temporary fluctuations. The announce
ment of such a policy would establish
confidence in the future of the cur
rency quite adequate to meet the re-
quirements of the present situation.

MAN WHO ESCAPED DEATH
ON BRIDGE FACES TRIAL

Martin C. Larkin, 29-year-old brick
layer of Hume, Va, who escaped pos
sible death when the spare tire of his
machine caught on the open span after
he drove past two policemen and a
watchman standing guard at the open
draw on Highway Bridge two days ago,
pleaded not guilty to a charge of reck-
less driving before Judge John P.
Mcmahon in Police Court yesterday.
He was held under 5000 bond for a
jury trial.
The draw of the bridge was open
early Wednesday and traffic was being
routed over Arlington Memorial Bridge
while workmen made minor repairs on
the Highway span. Larkin drove onto
the bridge and failed to heed the
shouts of watchman and police. His
car headed for the open water and
almost certain death for its driver. But
Just before the expected plunge the
tire caught and the Iarkin machine
was left dangling precar1ously near the
brink. The driver was pulled up by
rope and wrecking car saved the
automobile Police arrested Larkin.

Without Casualties.

By the Associated Press.
HAVANA, December 29.-Bullets
spattered in Havana streets again last
night, starting with vicious fight IN
the shopping district between labor
pickets and employees of an F. w. Wool
worth Co. store.
Police, answering a riot call, dis
persed the crowd with clubs, firing at
least 100 shots into the air. Snipers
perched on roofs and housetops took
advantage of the racket to begin firing
on their own account in several sections
OF the city.
A careful check of hospitals and
morsueS revealed no casualties as
result of the indiscriminate firing.
Hotel Plaza Hit.
Soldiers, apparently aiming at the
snipers, fired from positions close to
police headquarters and several bullets
entered upper-floor windows OF the
Hotel Plaza, where many American
tourists are living. Nobody was struck
and the damage was slight.

needed but always unwelcome restraint.

This unwillingness to adopt measures
OF restraint, so natural to human ma
ture, was well illustrated in the period
before the collapse In 1929. Unhappily
we were in a situation in which the gold
reserve Of the Federal Reserve banks
was so far above reserve requirements
that there was no impelling necessity
to advance discount rates. At the same
time the wholesale commodity price
index was not rising. These more or
less generally accepted indications OF
the need Of restraint being absent, no
action was taken.
The best devised monetary system will
not of itself yield stability. Intelligent
management will always be required, but
it will be wise to narrow to the greatest
possible extent the field within which
management must be exercised.
The entire burden of maintaining
general economic stability cannot be
placed upon central banking institutions
alone. We must have greater foresight
in the distribution of credit and capital,
both by commercial banks and by in
vestment banking agencies. In periods
of business activity those economic ac-
tivities that are particularly profitable
have always been overdeveloped. That
this has not been perceived clearly In
the past should not lead to the con-
cluSion that it is hopeless to expect
