Crisis in France.
Another factor in establishing a def
mite control over the dollar at this
time, it was suggested. might well be
uncertainty over the ability of France
to stay on the gold standard Fear that
the crisis facing the Daladier cabinet
over its efforts to balance the budget
might result in dislodging France from
gold is already believed to have been an
important factor in the rise this month
in dollars in terms of the French franc.
The United States Treasurys present
method of fixing the price for newly
mined gold hinges chiefly on the French
franc. since it is the remaining impor-
tant world currency still on the gold
standard.
The Treasury each day fixes price
of gold based on the open market price
to sterling The principal factor in de-
termining the London price has in turn
been the ratio of sterling to the French
franc. Abandonment of the old stand
ard by France, therefore, would destroy
the present basis of fixing the gold
price both in London and in Washing
ton and might result in sharp rise in
the dollar, with a depressing effect
upon our price levels
Fixed Gold Price.
The official price of gold in this
country from 1884 has been fixed at
S20.67 an ounce, and that price en-
dured until last Summer, when the
Treasury began basing the price on the
London market to give American gold
mines the benefit of the deprecated
dollar and the subsequent higher gold
price.
As the dollar deprecated more than
35 per cent the price of gold reached
a high level last September % to $32.28
an ounce.
The recent relapse in the French
franc in terms of the dollar, however,
starting with the sound money" impli-
cations attributed to the United States
Treasury's recent refunding operation
and apparently extenuated by fears for
Frances gold standard, reduced the
price of the yellow metal last week to
$29 an ounce.
This decline in the price of gold, or
rise in the gold value of the dollar, was
seen then as highly disturbing to our
sensitive commodity markets such as
wheat and cotton until Government
support appeared.
Fixing of the price of gold is re-
garded in some quarters as equivaleE
to fixing the gold content Of the dollar.
Thus q Government-control market
would permit o period Of experimental
ton to determine the proper value at
which the dollar should be stabilized

GOLD LEADERSHIP
BY AMERICA SEEN
Announcement by Roosevelt
Declared Start of Ag-
gressive Stand.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,

Associated Press financial EQltor.
NEW YORK, October 23-President
Roosevelt, in the opinion of monetary
experts, served notice on the world last
night that the United States plans to
begin aggressive management of the
value of its gold currency.
This, it was explained, will give the
Government powerful lever with
which to lift prices, and the program
will be designed to protect the dollar
from buffetings in the foreign exchange
markets or the possible effect of deal
ings of the British equalization fund.
Announcement of a Government gold
market with the price of the metal
fixed in Washington was interpreted as
indicating that the United States would
in effect conduct its own equalization
fund to control the dollar as the British
have been controlling sterling.
Separate Prices.
The fixing of the price at which
newly-mined gold would be purchased
by the r. F. c., it was understood here,
internal price on gold quite apart from
the foreign markets, thus having the
objective of preventing sudden depres-
sion of commodity prices in this country
through sudden rises in the dollar in
the foreign exchange market, such as
that of the past three weeks.
One economist suggested that the
new plan may have a definite bearing
on the British war debt negotiations
now in progress in Washington. Since
England has vital interest in the ratio
of sterling to the dollar and has had
the control situation largely in her own
hands through the operations of her
huge equalization fund, the British
have been determined that the dollar
should not decline below its old parity
with sterling. fearing that it would give
an intolerable advantage to American
goods in world trade.
They have alreday suffered severely
Evening star., 1933-10-23

both in relation to the internal price
structure and to its world position.
President Roosevelt again made it
clear, however, that he was determined
to have dollar which would have a
constant purchasing power and this was
interpreted as indicating that he was
considering some form of commodity
dollar rather than return to the old
fashioned gold standard

ways in which Withdrawals proved the
value of funds accumulated by this
form of thrift in meeting emergency
requirements resulting from business
conditions.
Three years ago school savings de-
rositS reached the high mark OF $29,-
1I3063." his report says. In three
years annual deposits in school savings
have shrumk by Sl8800,000, thus bark
the year 1922-1923 deposits amounted
to SlO63l 033, a sum greater by $780,
600 than that deposited this year
In 192223 Mr.. Albg points out but
6,868 schools afordeo opportunity for
school SAVINGS as against 10,890 for
the year just closed and the number
of pupils participating was 1907, ,95l
as against 3,O60.6o5.
DESPITE this recession over three
year period IN school savings, no more
pronounced than in other activities, its
real value has become manifested" he
declares "Nunberless instances have
reached the association. he says. in
which children have been able to meet
urgent needs of their fathers in efforts
to get jobs or to help other members
of the family in measures 10 preserve
their health. In other instances these
funds enabled depositors to continue
their schooling.
The number Of schools offering school
savings was 10890. and the participants
were 5000 685 There were 1876 fewer
schools than last year, but only 25 325
fewer children participating. The num-
ber of schools OHeTinS ScnOCI say. .ngs
decreased IA per cent. the amount OF
deposits decreased ~ per cent. but the
number of children 0epoSiting decreased
only 08 per cent. The decrease in the
number OF schools and the consequent
leSsened number of depoSitorS are in
part at least due to the lack OF de-
positary banks.
Despite the drastic decline in de-
posits the decrease in the number of
depositors is slight. being G.8 per cent.
This indicates no change in purpose on
the part OF children. The will to thrift
tmess. to a knowledge of money mana
cement, has not diminished" the report
says.
Starkey Home From Vacation.
George L. Starkey, president of the
National Bank of Washington, was

Fifth District Trade Reviewed.

The tobacco situation appears to have
been about the brightest spot in the
NTH district trade picture during the
past week, according to latest reports
from the Federal Reserve Bank OF
Richmond. Prices at the opening OF
the Fall tobacco sales have been favor
able and are expected to go hlgher as
the better grades OF TOBACCO are placeo
on the markets
During the first half of the present
month retail trade was not quite up TO
the average for this time of year. Inc
chief reason for the lack OF greater ac-
tivity is said to have been the perfect
Fall weather. Weather early IN Oc-
tober was both too warm and too pleas
ant to boost retail sales in the heavier
lines of Fall goods. Higher prices were
also a factor not to be overlooked
It is believed that wholesale f1gures
will be more satisfactory when they are
available, covering the same period.
The totals are not ready, but 1t Is
known that the recent demand was
good in Washington and in the hve
States making UP the fifth Federal Re
serve district Building operations IN
the territory are still dragging, Rlch-
mond bank reports state.
The Washington office reported TO-DAY
that the New York headquarters OF
Penner. Beane & Ungerlelder were
moved over the week end from the COT
ton Exchange Building to new quarters
in the International Telephone & Tele-
grab Building. The new office includes
two and one-half floors, $4,000 square
feet.
All of the firms branch offices. ex-
cepting the London and Paris offices,
are connected by private wires. The
New York office wire room, as result,
is one of the largest in the Street.
The size of the new quarters is indi-
Gated by the fact that the Office has
facilities for 35 telegraph operators and
100 order clerks, and the main clearing
division has accommodation for be-
tween 800 and 1000 employees
Today's Trading on Exchange.

and followed with the ace. East then led a small club, which North ruffed with the five of spades. J. A. Waldman of Cincinnati. who was playing this hand, now was confronted with the following problem.
 It is true that in this hand you can see that if he lays the ace or spades right down, the king VIII fall and the declarer will lose only one spade trick. But I want you to take the k, J. 10 and or spades and divide them between the East and West hands in dii. ferent combinations. and you VIII be surprised to learn that the only time you will lose your game 1s when there are three spades 10 the king in the East hand. Therefore, the finesse would do MT Waldman no good. If he mas three spades in the West hand whether the king Is in the west hand or not--he still need not lose his game. In such event, a iinesse might produce five-odd, but nrst of all he must make game.
 Therefore, his correct play with this combination of cards, when he wishes to lose only one spade trick, is to lead the ace. Then, if the king does not fall, he could go over to the dummy, lead d
