the lower the prices of commodities.

not be refuted. but the table accompany

Thus the cost Of living commodities
increased In price In each of the seven
years following 1918.
Any debtor who borrowed money in
any Of those years and repaid the loan
in a subsequent year Of the same period

that Is, q dollar with less power to
purchase commodities that enter into

For every year between 1918 and

years silver in relation to gold fiuctuated
in value and price, first depreciating
from "a in 1918 to 81 in 1914 and to

1916, to "A in 1917. to 81 in 1918. to 18
in 1919 and depreciating to 20 in 1920.
Silver Does Not Control Prices.
Clearly the fluctuations in the price
Of silver do not reflect with any exact
ness the prices of commodities that
enter into the cost of living. We are
concerned primarily with the cost Of
living, and the Labor Department fig-
ures thus become the more enlighten-
ing and the more helpful and reliable.

The District, before the Sheppard act
put prohibition in force here In 1917,
had an excise board which controlled
the sale of liquor In saloons, hotels and
restaurants. The Sheppard act re-
pealed the act setting up this system,
and still later the District beer act
specifically repealed all sections Of the
Sheppard act except those prohibiting
the driving Of horse-drawn vehicles or
railroad locomotives by persons under

would be made the monopoly of q pri-

the liquor commission in the same
way as q public utility is controlled by
the Utilities Commission.
The corporation would be allowed
to set up stores throughout the city

would be no limit on the amount to
be sold to any one person, but there
would be q prohibition against Its re-

Liquor for consumption on the prem

the District, the corporation fixing the

power of the gold dollar and the aver
age price of those commodities were
practically the same during the period.
Thus the departments figures were as
follows: 192i-.57, 1925, 1923-.57.
1924-.58, 1886, l926I.57, 1921
So, 1855, l929-58.
In debts contracted and repaid In
this period, the dollar Of repayment was
practically the dollar borrowed, and
no injustice was done to either debtor
or creditor.
(The ratio Of silver to gold during
these years ranges from 81 to 80. and
the fluctuations are not in accord with
the slight fluctuations up and down
of the prices of commodities that enter
into the cost of living. But why try
to measure fluctuations in the price OF
commodities that enter into the cost
of living by fluctuations in the price
Of silver? We cannot eat silver. or
clothe ourselves with silver. or burn
silver to keep US from freezing. The
table shows the fluctuations in silver
are not in accord with those OF the
commodities necessary to sustain lie.
And we get from the Department OF
Labor the figures direct that measure
the purchasing power Of the gold dol
lar in those essential commodities.)

monetary use while agreeing not TO
sell any monetary silver.
Signature Of the pact was described
by Senator Pittman as "the most dra-
matte moment of my life" In his long
efforts the Nevada Senator has been as
sisted by Edward Bruce, silver expert.
When the accord Is ratified it will
make effective . resolution adopted by
the Monetary Commission Of the con-
ference under which states agreed to
cease debasing silver coinage and to in
crease, where feasible, the use of the
white metal for small pieces of money.
E. N. Rhodes, Canadian finance min
ister was the last of the silver dele
gates to affix his signature to the
agreement.
Sees Pressure Reduced.
Although the American delegation
was unable to obtain in the conference
itself an agreement for as extensive use
of silver for monetary purposes as had
been hoped, Mr.. Pittman felt that the
pact between the silver nations went
far toward removing the pressure which
has broken down the price of the metal
to the lowest level in history.
Experts explained that this demoral-
ization arose chiefly from dumping Of
silver on the world markets by coun-
tries, diminishing rs monetary use,
chiefly India.
American specialists said the princi-
pal result Of this situation was to re-
duce the purchasing power Of such
countries as Mexico and China for
American and other foreign goods.
The most important part of the ac-
cord Is the provision that India shall re-
strict silver sales to q yearly average
Of 35,000.000 ounces over four years,
starting next January l, while produc-
ing countries win absorb an equivalent
amount.
Quotas Yet to BE Set.
The quotas to be allowed, to produc-
ing nations are yet to be determined,
but it was understood the United States
Is to take approximately 24,000,0 600
ounces annually, and Mr.. Pittman was
confident the other producing states
would absorb the remainder.

NRAUNCHANGED
AS To JOBS

Denying reports that cuts in
the staff of the NRA have been
made or are contemplated, Off
Gals today asserted that employ
ment has been at a level figure
for weeks, and will remain con-
slant for some time under pres
ent plans.
Rumors were that recent re-
classification of the entire NRA
organization has resulted in some
dismisals. On the contrary, Of
ffcials stated, the total number
of workers is still at it's former
figure, about 1900 persons.
The probable reason for the
reports, it was explained, is the
fact that under the reorganiza-
ton many employees we're shifted
from one division to another.
Basis for the reclassification
was the impending change in the
duties of the recovery admins
tration. When all necessary codes
have been approved and put into
operation, the NRA will then en-
ter the second stage of its work,
which will be the administration,
