this country and the rest OF the world
are now definitely headed toward a
period Of rehabilitation and great pros
perity.
The Goldsborough bill has the sup
port Of some Of the farm organizations
and Of groups Of Industrial and business
leaders, he insists. The Committee for
the Nation, Of which James H. Rand,
jr.. is the directing chairman, with
headquarters in New York, Is backing
the Goldsborough bill. In q recent
bulletin this committee said:
"The cause Of the depression was q
breakdown Of fair price levels. This
was brought about by tremendous en-
hancement IN the value, or purchasing
power, Of gold. The worlds demand
for gold determines its value. No sin
gle nation can control it. So long as
our dollar represents a fixed number
of grains Of gold it necessarily must
have the purchasing power Of the gold.
THE breakdown Of prices isolated
various groups Of producers and con-
sumers on widely separated price planes.
It made impossible profitable exchange
Of goods and services. Buying conse-
quently was diminished, production con-
tracted, employment curtailed. Depres-
sion grew by what It fed on.
1.-THE cure for the depression Is
restoration of a fair price level. Since
the price level was broken down by gold
attaining an abnormally high value, or
purchasing power, and since we alone
cannot reduce that value, we are left
thiS alternative: We must reduce the
amount Of gold In the dollar in order
to bring the dollar back to It's normal
purchasing power and raise our price
level. The Committee for the Nation
Is convinced by months Of research and
study Of this problem that no step
short of devaluation Of the dollar can
produce this result"

World Much Like Soapsuds,

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Nov. 81.
Scientists gathered here from all

universe last night.
Able Georges LeMaitre, cele-

astronomer, now q visiting
lecturer at Catholic University,
Washington, told a meeting Of
the National Academy of Sciences
that the universe is a honeycomb
of stafs, planets and other
celestial bodies, linked like soap
suds.
Some of the suds-forming a
group like our own planetary
system, for instance are expand
ing. Others are contracting, and
some have no motion. Each of
the huge bubbles is so immense
that in some cases it takes light
100000 years to cross from one
side to the other.

GORDON'S HUGE
. BANK ACCOUNT
UNCOVERED

NEW YORK, Nov. 81 G.N.SJ.
"A jury of fascinated brokers,
bankers, corporation directors and
others resumed hearing today the
Governments story of Waxey
Gordon's financial success.
Through witnesses, Thomas E.
Dewey, acting United States
attorney, brought out further
details of Waxey's beer opera
tions which crossed him during
the first two years of the depres-
sion more than $6,000,000.
With the date of repeal close
at hand the story was more
historic than opportune.
Jury Locked Up
The jury spent the night
locked up in midtown hotel.
esprea d intimidation of
witnesses was given as the reason.
Waxey is charged with netting
close to 100000 in the years
Of 1880 and 1881. For the first
year he paid tax of $10.76. For
the second he raised the ante to
more than $4,000. But the Gov
ernment estimates he owes it
more than $500,000 for the two
years.
Working before large charts,
Dewey sought to explain to the
jury the mystery of the enormous
bank accounts in New Jersey
banks now closed which were in
the names of non-existent per-
sons.
Never Signed Papers
During all his big operations
Gordon never signed his name
to a document of any kind be-
cause IS years ago he shipped
O trunk of cocaine to New York
from Chicago as baggage. He
came to New York by automobile
and redeemed the railroad ticket
signing a receipt for the money.
Then Government agents arrested
him and he was convicted on
his signature.
Not long ago a victim of gang
murder was found with a de-
post slip on him. Treasury
agents went to work They 10
Gated four more bank accounts.
A pattern of an enormous finan-
cial operation began to form, a
pattern with which they hope to
convict Waxey Gordon.
