u. S. Dollar and Bond
Decline Related

all that there is occurring a
flight from the dollar. People
are transferring their dollar funds
into pounds.
A Queer Phenomenon
1t is a queer phenomenon that
anyone should rejoice over this,
for in ordinary times it would
be regarded as a calamity.
Apparently England shows no
concern over the relative rise of
the pound, as compared with dol
lars. This is probably evidence
that the fall Of the dollar is not
stimulating our exports. But
more than that it reflects the
fact that foreign trade is now
controlled by tariffs and various
restrictive arrangements among
nations. so that currency quota
lions do not have their normal
effect.
England has now Joined the
other nations in ending the
tariff truce" and will doubtless
do as they do in Offsetting any
trade advantage which the cheap
dollar might give US by shutting
off imports Of our products. No
wonder we are turning to Russia!
It is not easy to say what you
and I should do to protect our
selves in the face of all this
manipulation of our money. Since
commodity prices in this country
are the chief concern Of the Ad-
ministration, and since tn e e
prices are nowhere near the an
nounced objective" it seems that
depreciating the dollar will be
continued.
Interest in Platinum
In that event, lenders must pro
tect themselves by demanding
higher interest rates. Il know OF

Wage earners should watch the
cost of living, and insist by all
means in their power that wages
be raised as fast as living costs
rise.
Savers and people with money
should seek some way of "hedg-
ing" their dollars, so that as the
dollar falls they will get more
dollars. It is probably better to
have ones savings in the best
foreign bonds or in foreign cur
rencies. Otherwise the soundeSt
metal stocks seem to be fair
hedge. They have risen consid-
erably and may react, but then
the dollar will be worth more.
