NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-One Wall Street reaction to Presiden Roosevelt's move to buy gold abroad is summed up in the opinion 1t is a logical but an unavoidable step in his monetary policy on which he has embarked
 Some financial observers express ed fear of a currency contest be- tween nations which they felt might end the international gold standard, as it previously existed in retaliation by other nations. which if carried to extremes, might bring chaos to the international money situation.
 These financial observers said and expressed the hope that this will not eyentuate.
 Abandon Gold Standard
 Other economists urged the gen. eral abandonment of the gold stand ard and revaluation of currencies on gold, the primary point involved.
 Some quarters felt there is dan ger that Great Britain, in order to defend her trade position, might be compelled to compete with the United States for gold if the Am erican policy resulted in sharp de- preciation of the dollar.

FREEDOM OF PRESS URGED
 AT MEETING
Anniversary of Zeng gers Reporting Epic Cele-
 brated in East

MT. VERNON, Oct. 30.-Ameri- can journalism celebrated last Sat- urday the 20Oth Anniversary of John Peter Zenger's reporting the Colonial Assembly election. It was in St. Paul's Church in East Chester that, the election was held and here too was zenger's trial on charges that the account was seditious and a libel on the Col onial authorities
 Right of Free Press
 Zenger was acquitted. His de- fense was that he reported the truth.
 Several hundred editors and pub fishers, descendants of the Colonial families gathered on the church green and heard Col. Robert R. Mccormick. of the Chicago Tri- bune, urge the press of America to follow in zenger's footsteps linking the right of a free press with the forthcoming NRA code for newspapers.
 No Elimination
 The Chicago Editor and Puo~ lished declared that American journalism does not wish to tri- umph over anybody. We only wish to be assured that our rights. so hardly won and so hardly pre- served. are not destroyed"
 In negotiations looking toward a permanent code for the news paper industry, Col. McCormick said the newspapers have beer contending for preservation anc right of a free press as provided by the Constitution and upheld by the courts. The Administrator I have understood, has been in- sisting upon it's elimination"

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30-Presi- dent Roosevelt decided last night to extend his price lifting gold control campaign to world basis through early purchase of the precious metal on foreign markets.
 In going into the international gold market it is apparently the Presidents intention to assure greater control over the monetary situation to stimulate commodity prices and bring nearer his goal of managed currency.
 Details of the purchase plan, while worked out, are kept a secret.

The Governor Scores Again

In refusing to call special session of the
Legislature to allow certain cities and towns
of the state legally to borrow money from
the Public Works Administration at Wash
ington Governor Gross is well advised.
There is no need of calling our legislators
back to Washington to pass such specific
statutes as are being demanded from diverse
sources. In the first place the Legislature has
provided adequately for towns and cities
taking advantage of the federal governments
generous terms for borrowing. If the Stua-
ton were fully explained to all concerned
we do not think there would be such de-
mand for these special sessions
Governor Cross has been most consistent
in his refusal to call special legislative ses-
sions. We admire him for that. We also adj
mire him for refusing to be forced into
false position. We do not think that there
has been an actual crying, need for special
session during the Cross regime despite all
the hue and cry that various public officials
and private citizens have raised. As for the
latest demand even Secretary of the Interior
Ickes showed that he really wasn't familiar
with the entire situation in the state. The
secretary advised legislative action to permit
towns securing loans.
The governor showed that towns can
anticipate their annual quotas under the ST.
100000 dirt road fund and float bond is
sues. the said bond issue no to be figured in
the five per cent limitation imposed by law.
Statutory provisions like these should be
known to all of us, but somehow or other
we seem to lose sight of the fact that our law
provides for many such emergencies. The
Legislature just adjourned in June provided
fog towns and cities getting federal aid by
exsmpting from the five per cent debt limit
all bond issues foated as an obligation. But
even the knowledge of all these details will
not prevent some people passing the word
around, even to the point of dispatching it
to Washington. that Connecticut cities are
prevented by law from taking full advan-
tage of the various emergency acts.

Now while we are on the topic of animal
life we can't very we'll overlook a movement
that is spreading throughout the world. 1t is
nothing more nor less than campaign to
prevent the determination of the various
forms of wild life in Africa. Big game
hunters have been taking such a toll of life
there of recent years that protective organi-
cations realize that some curb will have to
be placed on the numerous expeditions to
prevent various species being wiped out of
existence. It's quite the thing today, you
know, to be an African hunter You make
the first page headlines. Of course there are,
exceptions, such as the explorers who kill
only in self defense. But the number who
slay for the pleasure is on the increase. while
game decreases Certainly Africa ought to
have its game laws just like any other eoun-
try,

Bootleg Genealogy

Since Chancellor Hitler went in so
strongly for 100 per cent Germanism. they
say fine bootleg business in ancestors has
grown up. 1t is more important than ever
before who ones grandfather was. because
many civil and business rights are denied to
those who cannot prove "Aryan" ancestry
for two generations back One is not even
allowed to marry if there is non-Aryan
blot on the scuteheon.
Naturally there are many Germans dis
qualified by a. parent or grandparent There
are many more who have no reason to sus-
pect alien blood in their veins, but who can
not prove their purity. In this crisis
racket has grown up which proves again
the ubiquity and resourcefulness of the boot
logger tribe. For a reasonable fee, usually
about $780, clever gentlemen will provide
anyone with documentary evidence of a
pure blooded grandfather or grandmother.
1t may be unwise to print such in forma-
ton in this country. Ancestry isn't SO i'm
portant here, yet there's a considerable pri-
vate demand for it. Some of our genealogy
fans may feel like importing Germany ex-
perts to bootleg them little ancestral evil
dence. Which, of course. would be repre-
hensible, when we have experts of our own
capable of such srevices.

I Scientists down at Washington who are
never puzzled when it comes to deciding
momentous questions within their realm
(and also in many other realms) explain the
recent migrations of gray squirrels across this
state as a revival of an ancient custom. 1t
seems that prior to 1870 gray squirrels were
wont to indulge in these excursions with
great frequency. There were hundreds of
squirrels drowned this fall swimming the
Connecticut river. Probably other rivers al
SO became watery graves for the animals in
their eastward movement. 1t is said by the
scientists that these earlier migrations, and
no doubt this one, were caused by overpop-
ulation in certain areas. When the autumn
arrived bands of them would start for new
er and less frequented territory. That's log
ieal explanation. People follow this same in
stinct. Pennsylvania had just such a
migration in 1879; New York and Vermont

There is vivid story of Nathaniel Haw-
thorne's which tells of the man who went,
by direction at least as good as the ancient
Spanish maps of the Los Angeles diggers,
half around the world in search of promised
joys and glories. When he returned, dis
heartened and disillusoned, he found his
love and treasure within stones throw of

have been wasted. however. Without the

Fighting Students

The Spanish war and the World war
emptied many American colleges. 1t is an in
teresting question what our college students
would do in case of another war. One thing
is sure, from questionnaires in various insti-
tutions-there would be fewer volunteers.
Young men have been diSillusoned about
war. They no longer regard it as great ad-
venture. The imperialistic spirit. too. has
waned. There would not be much voluntary
support for war that the students consd-
cred aggressive; in Columbia university less
than per cent say they would enlist in such
a war.
Our young men do not go so far in their
pacifism as students in English universities.
Oxford students not long ago voted five to
one that they would refuse to. go to war un-
der any circumstances Students in several of
our leading universities report. without
any enthusiasm, but by considerable ma
jority. that they would fight if the country
were invaded. Few of them can think Of
any other cause worth fighting for. Nearly
all say we should keep out of another gen.
eral war.
These opinions are given at time when.
although there are war clouds in Europe.
there is no real war menace for America to
make the question vital Foreign wrongs and
insults might change all this. One never can
tell until the moment comes. what nation
alism and mob psychology will do to the
combative blood of young men,. Most of us
are not very civilized yet.

New York authorities were forced some
time ago to set aside certain area in Central
Park where grown-ups could roller-skate.
They haven't the same privileges as children.
This was proved recently when lady skat-
ing with her niece around the Central Park
Casino was given ticket by patrolman for
violating the park ordinance. There were no
signs posted because, the officer explained,
signs spoiled the beauty Of the park. We
wouldn't have bothered talking about signs.
We would have questioned the city ruling
that grown-ups weren't children when they
put on roller skates. Not that it isn't nice
pastime for old and young. 1t is, but iii also
peculiarly pastime of childhood days.

Progress

A recent feeling that recovery efforts are
failing is not supported by statistics now
available. Combined earnings of SO import
ant industrial concerns throughout the coun-
my. according to report of the Standard
Statistics company. were Sl9l,000,000 for
the first nine months of this year. 1t is
gain of 100 per cent over the same period of
last year. An impression of loss during the
last two or three months is also shown to
be false. For the third quarter ending with
September. the 80 companies reported aggre-.
gate earnings of S95.970000. which is II
times as much as they earned in the same
quarter last year.
There have been some recesSions lately.
but by no means SO great as pessimists have
been insisting. For example. railroad operat-
ing income only fell off from S60.978,000
In August to S60.500.000 (estimated) in
September. And this lower figure represents
an increase of ~ per cent over the SOFTEN

Schools In Session

New Yorks first Cocktail College is we'll
under way. Glasses assembled last week and
were acquainted with the courses teachers,
appurtenances. ETC., which will be their daily
and nightly companions during the course OF
their semesters. A l00-foot bar is maintained
by the school which is fostered by the
American Bartenders Institute. but strange
as it may seem nothing will cross this bar
other than potions of colored water. At
least that is the intention of the founders
while prohibition remains on the statute
books. But when repeal arrives perhaps the
real thing will be in evidence.
There are no official tasters at the school
% far as we know unless the professors fall
into that classification. Neither will there be
free samples. 1t won't be like schools for
BARRIERS where free shaves, haircuts, messages,
etc.. are freely dispensed by the candidates
for licenses. This Cocktail College is strictly
on the up-and-up Nothing phony about it.
It promises to deliver the real goods to the
prospective dealer in liquors and fine wines.
The first classes were chiefly occupied
with the gentle art of shaking up cocktail.
II looks as if the old fashioned method of

struetion in cocktail shaking stressed the fact
that the motion should never be up and
down Gas so many of us do) but horizon
tally ending each stroke at point just above
the right shoulder. Sounds like golf lesson
TO us at this point.
However. the real business of the college,
outside that of mixing various compounds in
a pleasing manner as to taste, smell, and ap-
pearanee. is the psychology of getting the
most out of a customer. One should never
have to bounce a good customer. He should
be treated in such fashion that he will re-
turn. This involves the employment of psN
chology. One must learn when to recognize
and when not to recognize the GUS
bmer. You must know when he or
she has had sufficient to drink. You must be
past master in agreeing with all the drinker
has to say. In short the bartender today must

old days and the night clubs gay master of

The Tropics Send
A Banker Haywire
BY Knott

In "Mr Darlington's Dangerous
Age" lisa Glenn examines the
not entirely novel notion that
strong men go haywire in the
tropics and concludes that there
Is something in It.
Her Mr. Darlington is. q New
York banker one OF those de-
lightful chaps whose veins run
pure ice water - and he travels
through the Orient on business.
He decides to stop off at Manila
to look UP his younger brother,
who has a job there and who has
managed to get himself into some
kind Of jam. Mr. Darlington
figures maybe he can Rtraighten
him out.
So our banker lands in Manila
and gets on younger brothers.
He finds, to his horror. that
brother has slipped SO far as to
get involved with a Eurasian
you can play around with 100 per
cent Aryan dolls all you please,
and you even can step q measure
or two with the Chinese charm
ers without losing caste, but you
just can't show your face any
where II you take up with a Eu-
rasian. Brother, therefore, Is out
side the pale.
But the tropics proceed to lay
Mr. Darlington low, and in the
process OF trying to extricate his
brother from this mess, he falls
for the Eurasian canary himself.
He gets away, finally, without
having committed much in the
way Of an over act; but his armor
has cracked wide open. his self
respect has gone out the window,
and he's pretty scandalized at
himself.
It's really too bad summer is
over; this book Is ideally de-
signed for hammock-reading.
