listening to the hysterical weeping of
woman from whom the customs officials

Jewess, escaped before 1917, and she was
bringing those articles as presents for
her people.
'They need them so bad, and fool
my husband to buy them," she wept.

I leave Russia, but don't come back

the social accomplishments and

beautiful parks. The Workers House of

may not be necessary.

such money should not be repre-.
sented by one or two commodities
such as gold or silver, wh ch, as ex.
perience has proven, can be manip
ulated, values increased or decreas
ed according to supply and demand
of the commodity upon which the
money is founded. There is only
one honest measure for money, AMI
that is labor. There is but ons
sound backing for money, that is
''The Product of Labor"
To one having either labor Oh
the product of labor to sell during
the past few years it would seem
that wei had an overproduction OF
both, but such is not the fact; our
money and the worlds money was
based on one or two commodities,
and all debts were contracted in
terms Of those two commodities,
and the result was: We had no
medium of exchange, we being Cd
the gold standard, and thus con-
tracing our debts in terms of gold,
came to point where there was
not enough money in the world,
not enough gold in the world to en-
able us to pay our debts in the
commodity in which we had prom
ised to pay. On a gold basis, we
were bankrupt, but had our money
been based on labor and the prod
uct of labor and had our debts
been contracted in terms as such,
we would never have. been forced
through this season of bankruptcy,
we had plenty of labor and the
products of labor, our homes, our
farms, our stocks, bonds, goods and
chattels, but our debts were con-
tracted in gold, and gold raised so
in value that it took all our bonds
stocks, goods and chattels to pay
the small mortgage on the home
or farm and finally took the home.
We need imitation; money should
be plentiful at all times to meet the
needs Of a medium of exchange, but
money should be controlled only by
the government issuing the money.

Honorable Franklin D. Roosevelt,
President of the United States,
Washington. D. C.
Honorable Sir:-In my last
weeks letter, / advised that l had
received letters and propaganda on
many subjects together with state
ments of startling nature: This
literature covers subjects relative
to every phase of the political sit
uation, including anti-Jewish, anti
Catholic, anti-Capitalistic, anti
gold-standard, anti-bi-metal-stand
ards, anti-Russia and other ants
too numerous to mention. l had
fully intended to give you the de-
tails and my advice under each
heading, but owing to the fact that
you have, in the meantime, COM
mitted yourself to a policy which
you well know l did not sponsor,
advise or recommend, now hesi-
tate, with pen in hand, and this
question in mind, "Shall l resign
from the ranks of your advisors, or
shall l point out your error that
you may have the opportunity to
recede from the position you have
taken"
/ refer, of course, to your late
proclamation ratifying the London
conference agreement of last July
with regard to silver. After con-
hn IL
in my former letters relative to the
money situation, and explaining
fully the fallacy of a gold-standard
or bi-metal standard, you will re-
alize the condition Of my mind,
when in the evening Of December
twenty-first, it was announced by
radio that you had acted under the
authority of the so-called Thomas
amendment of last legislative ses-
sion; that you had directed the
OF four years, unless proclamation
be modified or extended, 24,OOO.-
900 ounces of silver year, at
price of 641a cents per ounce, half
the silver bought to be coined into
standard silver dollars and paid to
the depositors of the silver, the
other half to be retained in the
shape Of bullion in the treasury,
and available for further imitation
by using it as basis against which
can be issued silver certificates.
This proclamation practically
means that we are to go back on
the bi-metal money standard, that
we practically double the value of
gold, give fictitious value to sill
yer, enable our foreign debtors to
pay us on basis Of soc on the
dollar, give our exporters the op-
portunity of shipping our goods to
silver money countries, who in turn
will flood our nation with silver we
do not need or want. It will give
us imitation that will reduce the
buying power of widows and or
phans by one half; it will to the
same extent reduce the buying pow
