Currency and Credit.

President Roosevelt ana his aides are
giving their attention to the ever
pressing problems of greater credit for
business and a better deal for the
farmers in the matter of prices. De-
spite all the demands that have been
raised for currency imitation, rational
imitation" controlled imitation" and
the like, the President has not been
shaken from his opposition to q course
which would lead to chaos and to a
debacle worse than anything that has
occurred in this country. At a con-
ference at the White House last night
with his advisers currency imitation, 1t
ts reported, was not discussed.
The aim of the administration Is to
provide more money for more people
not merely more money. The currency,
II it were expanded several times its
present amount, would still remain
proportionately in the hands of the
present holders. Indeed, it might well
happen that there would be still greater
concentration of money under those
circumstances. The increase in prices
Of commodities with cheaper money
would be crushing blow to those who
labor and who have comparatively little
wealth.
Too much of the peoples wealth Is
tied up in closed banks. A vital need
Is to get as much of this wealth as pos
sible again into the hands of the people.
The President and his advisers on finan-
cial affairs are giving that matter the
closest attention The aid Of the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation on
more liberal basis may be sought as a
means of opening many Of these banks.
The reopening of the banks would go
far toward expanding the credit needed
for expansion of business.
The administration. through the N.
r. A., through its Public Works Admin
istration, through the Agricultural Ad-
tustment Administration, and through
other agencies, has been exerting every
effort to widen and extend business.
m the main 1t has had the strong
support Of the American people. There
has been q pickup In employment;
many mills and factories have been
reopened. When the size Of the task
which has confronted the administra-
tion and the people themselves is con-
sidered 1t is remarkable that so much
has already been accomplished. To
hope for a return of prosperity over
night would have been an idle dream.
The clamor for currency imitation at
This time Is a raAcous note. 1t has
been raised principally because the
. point which is acceptable to the cot
ton farmers. Some Of the<other farm
prices have Jagged. They have Jagged
In comparison with the prices Of the
commodities which the farmers have to
buy. 1t is quite clear, however, that
when the great mass Of industrial
workers in the country are better en-
ployed and better paid, they will be
IN . position to buy more food at bet
ter prices. These workers constitute
the great market for the American
farmer. On the other hand, the market
Of the industrialist is found in large
part on the farm. The two must go
forward together or not at all.
The mere pouring out Of more and
cheaper currency is not going to cor
rect the troubles of either the farmer
Or the industrial worker.

Depression and Culture.

The effect Of the worldwide eco
nomic slump on education has been
discussed at length and on repeated
occasions. The resources of endowed
institutions of learning have been de-
creased and funds for the support of
ordinary public schools have been cut
with tragic effect. But there Is an
other aspect of the problem which has
not had consideration-the plus side
of the account; and this may be Illus
trated by three anecdotes Of random
origin.
A clergyman in little town in
Massachusetts, had been retired from
service and was living In comfortable
ease on the income from moderate in
vestments. The panic cut his means
to the proverbial bone. Perforce, he
had to find something to 50. In his
barn. as it happened, there was On
accumulation Of old lumber, cast aside
when his church had been remodeled.

him to employ it as a distinctive and

who arrive to collect at the triumphant

to cheaper money. to bring the dollar
down and the prices of commodities
up. So far the President has resisted
He has sought in every way to expand
credit, but not to tamper with the
currency itself. And the President S
course seems entirely wise The pro-
ponents of imitation of currency say
they want q rational" imitation, a
controlled imitation. But imitation of
the currency rarely is rational or con-
trolled, once it starts on its way. One
group talks about relation seeking
to make some kind Of subtle distinc-
ton between their desires and cur
lot like the projects Of Amos n
Andy" and certainly like their Ian
guage.
Fortunately Congress is not in ses-
sion at this juncture. The pressure
for currency imitation from many parts
Of the country is intense, particularly
from the South and the West. Con-
gress Is not due to assemble again
until January 3. BY that time the re-
covery program of the administration
may be SO well on its way to success
that the demands for currency infla-
ton will sound particularly foolish. 1t
Is not likely that President Roosevelt
and his advisers wish to try the risky
road of inflated currency, offering the
Republicans the issue of sound money
in the next campaign. The admins
tration has done a great Job, even Re
publicans admit. when it comes to
getting things started toward recovery
It Is no time to rock the boat or To
sink it with a lot Of currency without
real value. What the administration
is trying to do Is to get more Of the
existing currency into the hands Of the
workers. And thas Is the only road to
recovery.

 lively. The. pound back in March
 was quoted around ss.45 in dollar terms.
 Business made remarkable gains, lost part of them, and re-
 sumed the recovery as 1888 drew to a close. Steel operations rose
 sharply in the summer boom, but
 steel companies failed to make a profit at the higher rates; auto- mobile business was a feature, and General Motors Corporation earnings in the first nine months of the year showed a rise of GIL
 per cent as compared with the
 corresponding period of 1932.
 Factory employment and payrolls
 steadily increased, thanks to the government campaigns to put
 men to work. Building gained through the aid of the public works administration; car load iigs made good showing as compared with 1882, as did elec- tricity output and other major in- diees. Most commodities closed the year higher. Farmers phr- chasing power was enhanced by government aid. All in all, the | foundation was laid for building a sounder business structure in 1894, and industrial leaders were making predictions the new edi- flee would be so constructed as to resist better the winds of depres-
 sion that might blow up in the | future.
