of consumer resistance to high
prices.
Railway car loading slumped
more than seasonably.
Retail trade was stimulated by
colder weather, but appears to be
running or per cent below last
October in dollar sales, and much
more than that in physical
volume.
The chief exceptions to the de-
clining trend were found in build
ing and in Southern trade. The
former was due to the slowly
growing public works" program.
The latter was the result of the
spending of money paid to South
ern farmers for blowing up cotton.
Thus, both represent extension Of
Government credit, and an in
creased public debt.
Wholesale commodity prices
spurted, notably grains, foods and
some non-ferrouS metals.
Political Interference
Events in the shape of political
interference with business came
thick and fast.
Following the recognized failure
of the reserve banks "open mar
ket operations" and the farm
strikes, the Government launched
a gold-buying experiment.
First it tried buying gold pro-
duced in this country. But the
dollar went up in foreign ex-
change, and it was realized that
merely buying a few millions of
dollars worth of American gold
would accomplish little.
So the policy of buying foreign
gold has now been announced.
This means selling dollars. The
Government will sell dollars to pay
for foreign gold. This will tend to
depress the dollar in foreign ex.
change, which is what the Gov
eminent wants. It hopes that if the
paper dollar falls in foreign ex-
cange, it will also fall in this coun-
try and thus cause a rise in our
paper dollar prices.
Great Difficulties In Way
Three great difficulties lie in
the way of this experiment:
~ We are off the gold basis,
so that manipulating the price of
gold has little bearing on the
value of the dollar.
~ We have little foreign trade
and are diScOuraging what we
have, SO that foreign exchange
rates have little effect;
~ Other countries are likely
to play the same game and sell
their currencies Tor buy gold, too,
thus OffSetting our moves.
Aside from confusion in foreign
exchanges, the results are likely
to be merely psychological" and
temporary.
Then there was the clash be-
tween NRA and Ford, marking
the coercion stage of MIRA. And
Mr.. William Randolph Hearst and
others expressed definite criticisms

of NRA as a recovery measure.

of MIRA as a recovery measure.
It seems the time is ripe for a
test of the constitutionality of
what is being done under NRA.
The whole spirit of the Constitu-
ton is individual initiative, sub
ject only to regulations designed
to prevent abuses of such initia-
tive. But many believe that NRA
"collectivism" is going much be-
yond that, and operating to de-
Stroy individual freedom.
Retail Code Confusing
The approval of a retail "code,"
requiring a minimum mark-up of
10 per cent above wholesale cost,
was announced; and the AAA
took steps toward further price
fixing Of agricultural products.
The provisions of the retail
code are indefinite and bound to
cause confusion. Moreover, stores
in small towns are excepted. This
is not only an admission of the
weakness of the scheme, but Sug-
geStS troublesome inter-tOwn COM
petition in many localities.
Important disclosures of manip-
ulative practices in banking, fl
nance and stock market, were
made at the Senate hearing.
These are already causing some
housekeeping, and constitute one
of the really constructive results
of the depression.
Stock gambling in this country
can never again be quite the
same as in 1929.
