BARUCH WRITES
SHARP ATTACK
ON|NFLAT|ON
Saturday Evening Post Article
Hits "Act Of Desperation;;"
Raps Gold Experiment
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service

Bernard M. Baruch, whose ad-
vice on financial matters has
been sought by every President
since the World War, came out
today with a sharp warning
against any kind Of initiation.
In an article in the current
issue of the Saturday Evening
Post, Baruch characterizes infla-
ton as IAN enemy Of mankind"
as ian act of desperation" and
as the product Of muddy think
ing"
Sensation In Capital
The appearance of the article
at this time, when the Administra-
ton is in the midst of its expert
menting with the gold content Of
the dollar, and when the initiation
lists on Capitol Hill are girding
for a fight in the next session
of Congress, created something
of a sensation in Washington.
Only a week ago Baruch was
invited to Washington by Presi-
dent Roosevelt for a conference.
The invitation was extended
because of reports that he was
out of sympathy with the Adj
miniStration'S eold-purchaSing eX-
pertinent, which already has
pushed the dollar down to around
go cents in terms Of foreign cur
rencieS.
Baruch came to the White
House and talked with Mr.. Roose-
welt for some hours.
Control Impossible"
After his visit there was a
temporary halt in the artificial
boosting Of the price of gold
For five days, the gold price re-
manned unchanged at 1886 an
ounce. Yesterday the upward
trend was resumed, with a 10-cent
advance to 1886.
In his Post article, Baruch con-
dennis all forms of initiation. In
his opinion, there is no such
thing as controlled initiation"
On this point. he said:
People who talk about grad
ually initiating, or controlling in
flatiOn, might as well talk Of
firing off a gun gradually OF con-
trolling a world war. Once you
start the chain Of causes con.
nected with initiation, nobody
can control their effect"
The Baruch article contradicts
almost every claim made for the
gold-purchase theory that com
modify prices rise commensurately
with the price of gold.

STATUARY HALL
SEEN AS PERIL

Statuary Hall. a periodic prob
lem for Congress, is likely to cause
more trouble this year than in
the past, for the reason that the
IS tons of statues now standing
there are considered a menace to
the safety of the Capitol floor.
Too much massed weight threat
ems to crack the floor. and some
means will have to be adopted, it
is expected. to reduce the load.
One suggested plan is to reduce
the number of statues for each
State to one. At present each
State is permitted two.
Another plan Is to build a ma
tional hall of fame, in which the
statues would be placed. The ar
tistic merits of the most of the
statues have been the subject Of
considerable criticism.
