What The Rubber Dollar Means
 To Business And Investment
Money Must Be Managed to Accommodate the Fuc- tuations in Production If Stable Prices Are to Prevail.

entertained many years ago from the point of view that under the universal use of the gold standard prices were primarily determined by the amount of monetary gold in the owrld and or by the con- trol of it. One of the plans for stabfliZing prices was to limit the production of gold by an interna- tional agreement of the gold-pro- ducing nations. The other was to substitute an index dollar Cor other gold unit) for the fixed weight unit which we have had. This plan was popularized in the United States by Prof Irving Fisher. In brief, he would increase the gold weight of the dollar or decrease 1t in order to offset price varia- tions from an established level, as revealed from time to time by an index of wholesale commidity prices. There would be no gold in circulation, but all forms of money would be convertible into gold bullion. All the gold re- serves would be held by the gov- ernment and in place of them the banks would have gold certificates. They would be unlike the present gold certificates in that while they would represent a fixed weight of gold, the latter being subject to change as often as once a month accordingly as prices rose or fell. If the price level rose, the golt conetnt of the dollar would be pro portionately increased; and cores pondingly reduced if prices fell. Al the same time the gold certifi- cates would be altered in volume by withdrawal or fresh issues in order to keep their total in a fixed ratio with the gold stock. Recog- nizing that while changing weight of the dollar would indirectly af- feet the amount of ftcurrencvy and credit in circulation, prices are primarily determined by that amount, Professor Fisher would also invoke open market opera tions by the Reserve banks.
 The original Goldsborough Bill which attracted so much attention in the 73rd Congress embodied the Fisher scheme. In the then pre- vailing orthodox view that the gold dollar was sacredly immutable, 1t was eventually changed to a man. date to the Federal Reserve banks to manipulate the price ievel through all the powers within it's control, such as open market op-- erations-the buying and selling of government obligations--and the rediscount rate.
 Now that we are no longer tied to the gold standard, although nominally it is still with us; and actually in determining prices in foreign currencies, the question arises whether it need be consid- cred at all in adopting a "compen- sated dollar" as the commodity index dollar Is sometimes called With gold practically out or the picture, it would seem that regul. lation of currency and credit would be sufficient. From 0 strictly dom estic point of view gold would Dc superfiuous to the establishment oi a compensated dollar if the coun. try were to remain as at present on an incontrovertible currency basis.
 Whatever the prosposed techn. ique of arriving at Q dollar thai will have the same purchasing power through the years, the ob' jectiye is always the maintenance of an unchanging, general level ol prices.

GOES WHITE HOUSE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20, (R- Roosevelt went to the White House for-the second time since his =el- |ection to the presidency, for dis cussion as to how to meet the troub- lesome issue of war debts and world economics.
 - It is reported that a request by Great Britain for an immediate discussion -of.deIbts and a-propos- ed economic barley is understood to be the basis for the extraordin- ary meeting, but Roosevelt said 'I don't know what Is going to come Iup."
 However, there are many indi- Ieatieas@ from other sources that England is pressing for decision Roosevelt however, made clear that he was adhering to his policy of divorcing war debts from the forthcoming world barley on eco monies. There has been some dis cussion for settling the var debt situation by a lump sum by Euro pean debtors. It would help bal ance the budget for next year and dispose of the whole vexing issue,
 Roosevelt talked over the com. plicated congressional situation and sized up prospective cabinet mem bers yesterday. After last night s meeting he was described as re- conciled to an extra session of the new congress, probably in mid-April.

Others in the con- ference were Glass, Stimson and Senator Long wno said he and Roosevelt were still "pals" and that he believed Roosevelt would not take sides with Glass and Longs controversy over the banking bill.
