pany, in current survey which
continues in part:
Most Of these financing cor
porations, the survey finds, al

ing manner from the substantial
recovery in automobile sales dur
ing the spring and sum m r

tons, financing Of automobile
sales contributes well over SO per

Adjustable Currency
Derided by Haney

Of dollars printed or the
amount Of gold behind each dol
lar, can determine prices. This
Is obviously not true.
One Of the most important fac
tors in DISCRIMINATING prices is the
velocity Of money circulation.
Many Factors Involved
This depends upon the activity
Of business and the volume Of
buying and selling which goes
on. The amount Of bank de-
posts and the volume Of checks
drawn is a great factor. How,
then, can we know how a mere
change in the quantity Of money
or in the gold content of the
dollar will affect prices?
3. Dollar prices are the meas
ure Of values. Standard dollars
act much as standard bushels do
in measuring the quantity Of
wheat. We measure the quantity
with bushels, and the value with
dollars.
Now, would anyone believe that
we can stabilize wheat supplies by
changing the content of the
bushel? If we have too much
wheat, can we reduce the supply
by making the bushel basket big.
ger?
In the same way, we can not
change values by changing the
size Of the dollar. And we can not
stabilize prices by making dollars
larger or smaller.
Compared With Tides
Suppose we were to say that the
rise and fall Of the ocean tides do
great harm, and that anyhow we
don't want to see them any more.
But as long as we measure the
water level from the bottom, we
can't help seeing the tide cycles.
So we pull up the pile with its
fixed marks, and put in its place
float. On the float we write
normal water level" or mean
tide"
Then we could always say that
the water level is STABLE" be-
cause our standard" would vary
with the tide! Would that be
sensible? Would there be any
real standard?
OF course, gold is not absolutely
fixed in value. Nothing is. Values
are bound to fluctuate They
move according to the law Of sup
ply and demand as tides move,
according to the laws Of gravity,
inertia, etc. But is there any
measure Of value that is more
stable than is the value Of gold?

Chicago's hog market, which has
been giving added life to unwary
porkers, gave definite signs of
perking up today as packers and
sellers stood on the brink Of an
agreement that would establish
a price Of $4.25 to $4.35 per hun

The end Of the deadlock came
late yesterday when commission
men capitulated and packers
bought $4,000 hogs out of sur

Eight thousand hogs were re-

We will not discuss them here.
But the idea Of a managed
currency" is to keep prices steady
and prevent rises or check de-
clines, by adjusting the purchas-
ing power of money.
One Of the most touted schemes
for managing" currency is the
compensated dollar" This means
an adjustable dollar, the amount
of gold in it being changed &C
cording to some "index" OF COM
modify prices. If the price "aver.
age" falls, the amount OF gold
in the standard dollar would be
reduced, The notion being that
this would make people willing to
pay more dollars for commodities
and thus put prices up.
The Commodity Dollar
This is the so-called "commod-
ity dollar"
The reason why such a scheme
cannot work are as follows:
1. A price average" is an alb
stract mythical thing. Not a
single price may equal the aver
age. More than that, you can
get the same average with indi-
vidual prices varying in all sorts
Of ways.
For example, If wheat is !, cot
ton 6, and steel 2, we get an
average Of 3. But 2, 4, 3, or 6,
2, /, or 3, 3, 3, all give the same
average!
What good, then could a COM
modify standard, or price average,
be to the producer or the buyer
Of any one commodity? And how
could it assure stability for any
particular commodity?
2. The scheme assumes that the
