threat of eventual devaluation
 What is to be said for our present policy? Chiefly, think that un-
 til Amsrican prices have risen to
 the point where costs and prices
 are in working balance, no one
 knows exactly how to value the
 policy in terms of gold Since we
 do not know how much prices
 will rise in other countries we do not know how much, if it all, the dollar needs to be depreciated, and so we hesitate now to fix it's value
 arbitrarily. We might devalue too much and get too great rise in our prices. We might devalue too little and get too small a rise.
 What is to be said for the op- posite policy; That of immediate definite devaluation? The first thing to be said for it is that an American devaluation of 25 to 30 1 per cent would almost certainly bring about devaluation in practi- cally every other country The ef- feet of this should be to raise not only American prices but world prices, and thus produce a gen. eral upward movement every where. If this was achieved, it would certainly be to our advant- age, for obviously, though We must raise our own prices in any event, it would be far better if they did not rise too much above prices elsewhere.
 The second. advantage claimed for immediate devaluation is that it would avert the danger that the present upward movement of pric- es in the United States might be halted suddenly by a sharp rise { in the value of a dollar due to a fall in the value of sterling and of the franc. I do not know how real this danger is, but many competent and disinterested men believe that in the autumn this danger will exist, owing to the fact that at that season the ex- changes tend to move strongly against Europe This is a ques- ton which ought to be examined very carefully with view to de- termining whether a definite de- valuation this summer will or will not provide a more solid founda- ton for the advance of prices than we now have from the threat of eventual but indefinite devaluation
 This is the decision we have to take. In taking it we must not be misled by the talk which is now so common about whether we are pursuing a national" or an "international" policy. Those who best understand the situation over here do not, think, see the prob lem in catchwords like these. The British opinion which will in the end prevail, and the greater part of instructed world opinion as it lis reflected here, recognizes that the United States alone is strong enough to lead the world out of the depression and that it is of the utmost importance that the Amer ican recovery should not be inter- rupted. We need have no doubts that on the monetary question the right decision for us to take in our own interests is the right decision from the point of view of the world in general. It is not a matter of our being nationalistic Tor of our not being nationalistic. I1t is a matter of reaching wise decision on question of great moment and of great difficulty at a time when no mind in the whole world can absolutely guarantee the outcome.

The Issue at London
By WALTER LIPPMANN

IONDON, June 26.-The frs
 impression which one receives or
 arriving in London is that tn, American delegation has lost con.
 tact with the President and ha.
 become divided and demoralized
 The impression is not in itsel
 untrue. It is evident, for exam. pie, that our delegates are at. tempting to follow a set of in. structions which derive from idea. that were current before the logic of the American domestic program or of the force it has already sci
 in motion were clearly under
 stood. The consequence is that the delegates, when they arrived to negotiate, were like men whC thought they were sitting down tC a light breakfast of orange juice and coffee and found themselvee the guests of honor at a heavy
 banquet. They are bewildered
 In their bewilderment they have lost their morale, and are at the
 moment wandering around in g fog of gossip and innuendo.
 All of this is only too painful Fly evident. But it is very easy
 to exaggerate it's importance. anu easier still to be wholly mislsd by it. Thus a little inquisitivenesS will soon teach any observer here that divided counsels and uncer- tainty of policy are not confined to the Americans They are pres ent among the British. If any one supposes that the British gov ernment has more definite convic- tions than ours as to what 1t wants and where it is going, he is, I think, greatly deluded. The Brit ish are more discreet than we are. They keep up appearances more successfully. They do their hesi- tating and their arguing in pri- vate. But they argue and they hesitate and under the outward calm and correctness of their pub lie behavior they are, I believe, beset by even deeper conflicts of purpose and of interest than we are at this moment in the United States.
 In candid conversation well-in- formed Britons not only recognize this but admit that the decision which confronts the American gov ernment is one which it is not easy to make, and that the diff culty of making this decision ex- plains all the superficial confus- ion of American policy;
 What is this decision which confronts the American govern ment? It is whether definitely to revalue the dollar now or to keep the dollar depreciated and under the threat of a future devaluation to an unde- fined amount. There are the two possible courses we can take, and nothing else of any consequence can or will be settled here until our decision has been reached. For the value which we ultimate- ly put upon the dollar will deter mine the monetary policy of the other nations. The first two weeks of the conference have established this important truth. Although there is much talk about return ing to the gold standard, the fact
 is that the effective monetary standard of the world is the dol lar.
 Our task is to weigh the ad- vantage and disadvantages of the two policies. The policy of im- mediate devaluation by definite amount and our present policy of Copyright, 1883, Ne

CROWDS ARE ATTRACTED TO
 SHIMMYING MOUNTAIN PEAK

Carbon mountain near Durango, Colorado, which has been shimmy- ing itself to pieces since last De- cember, has now lost it's crest
 Observers who have kept a close check on the antics of the noun tain since it began disintegrating from some unknown internal dis turbance reported it's summit drop ped forty feet in elevation during the last ten days of June.
 The mountain top, they said, having all gone to pieces, rolled in powders and smaller debris to the bottom of the slope, joining there several thousands of tons of mate t. rial which previously had catapult- ed from faults on the slopes.
 In addition, about seventy acres on a ridge three-fourths of a mile west of the first fault showed defi- nite signs of defaulting action bringing the area now engaged in sporadic motion to about three fourths of the mountains total sur- face.
 A register installed near the mountain shortly after the geologic freak began to attract spectators, showed more than 1000 visitors from thirty-five states had viewed the rambling peak since it first shook itself.

Dairymen Cooperate In Meeting
Local Milk Regulation Requirements
Health Department Also Reports Progress In Sanitation
And In Local Clinical Treatment Of
The Sick And Afflicted

The narrative report of the Mont
gomery County Health Department
for the month Of August stresses
progress in every line affecting the
health of the various communities.
The report is issued by DR.. v. L.
EIIIcorU, county health officer.
The dairymen of the County are
giving excellent cooperation and are
making many improvements to meet
the requirements of the Milk Regula-
tions. The Regulations become effec-
tive next January 1. 81
The Health Department has been
devoting time to the study of pas
teurization methods. The County
Milk Regulations require that all
milk sold as pasteurized milk shall
be heated so that every particle of
milk reaches temperature of 142d
to 145d for thirty minutes. This is
interpreted as requiring the heating
of the air above the milk in pasteur-
ization tanks and the heating of out
let valves and the installation of leak
protector valves.
To supplement the new law re-
