Progress, the big Worlds fair in Chi

There has been much talk Of such a
step, and now it is urged by President
Roosevelt In a letter to, the manage
ment telling of his enjoyment in his
brief visit to the exposition. He
writes:
''There seems to be very consider
able demand that you reopen next
spring, and since there is every rea-
son to believe that there are many,
many thousands who were unable TO
afford the trip to Chicago this year,
but hope to be in better position next
summer, am inclined to agree with
you that 1t would be a very fine thing
to keep open.
"In the event that you and your
board decide it is advisable to reopen
next year, ! shall assure you that |
will recommend to congress that an
appropriation be made sufficient to
maintain the government building and
exhibits there"
The exhibitors and concessionaires
have been sounded out by the fair,
and majority are willing to go along
another year. With scores of others,
who were not in the 1888 fair, desir-
ing to be represented next year, there
is little worry about this part Of the
exposition. States and governments
which were not represented this year
and feel that other governments have
"stolen the show" have evinced q de-

Westinghouse is scant two

What Will Capital, and each
Congress Do?day the inevitable
question, "what will
congress dor is heard more and more.
And when one considers the troubles
of the day, it is difficult to avoid the
conviction; there seems to be ample
reason for wondering what congress
will do!
In the minds of Washington observ-
erS, as far as I have been able to
learn their views, little doubt remains
that President Roosevelt will have a
highly nervous and bull-headed con-
gresS on his hands. 1t appears GER
tain the senators and representatives
are not going to be so tractable as
they were from March to June in the
extraordinary session. 1t is equally
certain that the members will come
back from the hastings filled with a
lot of new ideas, champing at the bit,
eager to do things, demanding that
things be done this way or that. In
deed, think it can be said that Mr..
Roosevelt is going to have both hands
full, and if he pulls the reins in sue
cessfully controlling congress, he will
have demonstrated that he is not only
master politician but super-poli-
tician. 1t is test, beyond the shadow
of doubt, and supreme test in ev-
cry sense of the word.
Just stop and think of the situation:
there is as much uncertainty in bust
ness as there was this time last year
there are fresh threats from labor !;
continuing threats from numerous ag-
ricultural sections; saber rafting from
abroad, cries about the burden Of tax
alton yet dire need for more money
for the federal government, pressing
social and political problems follow
ing repeal of prohibition, demands for
relief for the farmer, for the debtor,
for the unemployed, and generally
speaking, some new crop of troubles
every day.
1t is to be remembered, too, that ev-
cry time congress convenes for new
session, it's members have come back
to Washington filled to the brim with
problems, pet or general, from a par
ticular section or state. 1t is thus
quite natural that in this circumstance,
there will be partisans supporting ev-
eryone of the various questions have
set down. And don't forget, those
senator's and representatives will make
themselves heard! They have never
failed at that job, heretofore, and
there are no signs indicating they
will fail this time.
What the result will be, no one can
do more than guess. There are GER

eminent credit will be maintained and
a sound currency will accompany a
rise in the American commodity price
level" he said; but he insisted the
price level must first be restored be-
fore anything like imitation is estab-
lished.
For the present, Mr.. Roosevelt said,
It was important to tighten control
over the dollar. He added:
"As a further effective means to
this end am going to establish a
government market for gold in the
United States. Therefore, under the
clearly defined authority of existing
law, 1 am authorizing the Reconstruc-
ton Finance corporation to buy gold
newly mined in the United States at
prices to be determined from time to
time after consultation with the Sec
rotary of the treasury and the Presl-
dent. Whenever necessary to the end
in view we shall also buy or sell gold
in the world market.
my aim in taking this step is to
establish and maintain continuous
control. This is policy and not an
expedient. 1t is not to be used mere
1y to offset a temporary fall in prices.
We are thus continuing to move to-
ward managed currency.
sour dollar is now altogether too
greatly Influenced by the accidents of
international trade, by the internal
policies Of other nations and by po-
litical disturbance in other continents.
Therefore, the United States must
take firmly in its own hands the con-
troll of the gold value Of our dollar.
This is necessary in order to prevent
dollar disturbances from swinging US
away from our ultimate goal, namely,
the continued recovery Of our COM
modify prices"
The Presidents monetary program
IS based on the plan of John Maynard
Keynes, the British economist. Or
thodox bankers in Wall street were
rather disconnected by it. Some were
skeptical as to the practicability of
controlling the internal price level by
changes in the gold value of the cur
rency; others thought the plan would
give the government powerful lever
with which to lift prices.
If carried to it's logical conclusion,
the program means the ultimate fixa-
ton of the value Of the dollar with a
diminished gold content, the resump-
ton of free trade in gold, and Of gold
redemptions, doubtless on a bullion
basis.
Senator Thomas interpreted the pro-
posal as promise" of the admins
tration to the country to devalue the
dollar In terms of commodities. Such
has been the goal Of infiationists from
the start, he said.
Senator Duncan q. Fletcher Of Flor
ida, chairman of the senate banking
and currency committee, also saw in
the move an obvious step toward de-
valuing the currency in it's relation
to gold. He did not think, however.
that the proposed government pur-
chases of gold would be sufficient.
London financial circles hailed
gladly the Presidents decision to con-
troll the fluctuations of the dollar. But
the authorities there are convinced
that he is being driven inevitably to
currency imitation.

told of the "relief that is being
given to those who are in danger of

cussed, and l am going to relate some
of them in the hope that better un-
Outstanding of Forthcoming conditions
may be had.
In the first instance, the records
| fail to show many Presidents who have
had popular faith behind them to the
extent of that accorded Mr.. Roosevelt.
He has caught the public imagination
and, although he has some bitter crit
les and will have more, there seems to
be no doubt that he has rather solid
base from which to begin his fight.
Next, the country as whole will
listen to that which the President says.
Individuals may disagree with him and
may oppose him in his programs and
policies, but they will read what he
has to say or listen to him on the
radio That is an advantage of great
Importance, since he has the audience.
In the case of senators or represent
atives, EXCEPT among few of the real
| leaders, limited group of followers
will read what he says or listen to his
mouthings, but generally there is the
tendency to read a headline and say
''it's just Congressman Ump-ta-ump"
and read the next column. In other
words, it takes a pretty big man to
compete with the President of the
United States.
In the next place, there is an cleo
ton facing all of the members Of the
house of representatives and one-third
of the senators, and every day that
any one of them balks on Presiden-
tial plans, he is just one day nearer
the polls. If need be, you know, the
| President can let it be known that the
| individual congressman or senator is
not wanted, and the cantankerous gen.
tleman or lady member has something
| to worry about. In few instances can
| they win individually; they must have
party support. So, the President can
hold that club, ready to swing. I am
told he has let it drop gently in sew
eral places already, but that Is out
side of this discussion and constitutes
purely local party differences.
| Besides these. few senators or rep
resentatives have the courage to defy
| the President openly on the floor of
their chamber If the President be of
their own party. That is the record.
Since the President usually is of the
party in control of congress, the bills
of local Importance do not travel far
along the legislative pathway when
they are sponsored by one who has
jumped over the party traces. The
others won't trade with him.
These things l have mentioned are
things that happen in normal times,
normal both politically and economi-
cally. But the discussion heard these
days gives rise to doubt whether nor
NAL rules will be followed. Hence,
the question: "What will congress
do?"
Specifically, it is made to appear
that Mr.. Roosevelt already has antici-
pated much of the trouble that will
arise after congress convenes in Janu-
ary. Certainly. the consensus here is
that he has built hard-surfaced, all
year political road for himself as he
has gone along. He is at the wheel
of the party truck and it is being gen.
orally predicted that the boys and
girls who want to ride with him will
have to stay in their seats or be
piled.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1933-11-03

that before the end of the year the
President and Litvinov will announce
the resumption Of normal relations be-
tween the two countries and the estab-
lishment Of a large credit for the
Soviet republic to make purchases in
this country.
Though in giving out the correspond
ence President Roosevelt said he was
not committed to recognition of the
Soviet government, it Is said that pre-
liminary soundings had satisfied him
that Russia's desire for American rec
ognition is concomitant to it's desire
to obtain credits for the purchase of
American goods. The administration
Is prepared to join in the development
ef reasonable credit facilities for the
quick disposition of accumulated sur
pluses in cotton, meat products, cop
per and other raw materials. There
are other problems that must first be
solved, such as the czarist debts and
the Communist propaganda, but the
administration believes these can be
speedily cleared up.
Litvinov is one of the smartest and
most influential of Russia's public men,
and for fifteen years has directed his
country's foreign policy. He was born
in Poland of Jewish parents, and his
real name is said to be Finkelstein.
His wife is cultured Englishwoman,
niece of Sir Maurice Low, a Washing
ton correspondent for many years. She
may accompany him to Washington.
The English press hailed the move
toward Russo-American accord as
great force for world peace, and said
London could not do better than COPY
Washington. In Japan officials ex-
pressed pleasure over the news. though
this may not have been entirely sim
cere.
ONE billion dollars for the liquida-
~ ton of closed banks is not enough,
in the opinion of various politicians
and persons of influence who believe
the depositors in such institutions
should be paid in full; so In response
to strong pressure the administration
may greatly increase the amount of
money to be supplied by the govern
ment for this purpose.
Undersecretary Dean G. Acheson of
the treasury said depositors need not
expect 100 per cent payment but that
additional loans might be arranged
when and as assets of the closed banks
justified further grants from the treas
ury. He indicated that such loans
could be expected to be made If re-
covery showed continued progress.
