WHY GERMANY SAID GOODBYE.

Behind the German demand for Equality the rock upon which the worlds disarmament hopes now as in the past, have run aground s'aiioS |" series of historical developments:

The Allies and the Central Powers con- cuded the so-called peace treaty of Versailles "hch specifically stated that it was in order uo rehuei ossible the initiation of general limitation Of the ornaments of all nations that Germany unoer- took to observe the military naval and air clauses still in operation today, that reduceo hei hi'"i machine to police proportions.

 Sent 15 1882: The German Government an- nounced that it would not participate 1urther Ill the work of the Conference until Germanys rgh' to equality in armaments with other countries should be recognized.
 Dec. 1892: Germany returned to the Conference under the Five-Power Agreement, worked out With England France, Italy and the United States whlch acknowledged the principle of equality of rights in A system which would provide security TOT all nations" Thus a reconciliation of French ana German views were begun.
 Dec 1e32-Oct 1883: Through disarmament, mol rearmament a reunited Conference, in formal ses- sions and throughout recesses, sought to apply the principle of equality Of rights III system winoi would provide security for all nations F rencn concessions which accepted international supervsion of armaments as an alternative to more rigid guar antees of security, and agreement by the unlteo States not to interfere with collective action against
 nation recognized by all to be an aggressor great lv aided progress toward a treaty which 1t was thought both France and Germany could sign. Jus' prior to the re-convening of the full Conference or October 16 Sir John Simon offered two-told plan not as the last word of the other powers, but as hoped-for basis for compromise of the Frencf security and German equality demands During the first period Germany to be permitted to double the armaments now allowed her by the versailles treaty but the real equality of armaments promised her in principle last December would have peer deferred few more years This postponement wa held necessary in order that the practical wortf of ornaments supervision might be tested l supervision proved effective the second period would see the realization of equality through the dlsarma ment of the now heavily armed powers to defensive level and whatever rearmament was neces sary for Germany to up to that same level
 Oct 14 1933 Before the Simon plan was brougn up for discussion in the Conference proper Germany withdrew announcing that "unwillingness on tns part of the highly armed States to carry out thel contractual obligations to dsarm renders I'm possible the satisfactory fulfillment of Germany recognized claim to equality of rights

but he lost in the end. In less than year alter he took office, the vaunted prosperity on Whlch he rode easily into office engulfed in what proved to be the most serious depression of our times At the next election, Gov. Roosevelt re- placing Gov. Smith as leader of the Democratic party was swept into office an unprecedented landslide.
 So if Dr. Tolmie feels the need of consolation he may be able to find it in the fact that he took office eight months before Hoover and held II eight months after Hoover left it. He, too, was plagued with hard times unemployment, depleted treasury and all of the conditions that finally swept Hoover and the Republican Party into the discard. He and his party lasted longer, but in the end their defeat more sweeping. Of the AT constituencies in the Province only one returned Conservative candidate. Dr. Tomies own rldlng Saanich went against him and to Liberal The Liberals won in 36 districts giving it an over whelming majority all other parties. T. D Patullo, Prince Rupert leader and veteran Liberal general will head the new Government as Premier and is expected to take over the office before the end of this month.

Give Him a Chance.
(New York World-Telegram.)

(New York World d-Telegram) The very day on which the President took his first step toward managed currency was chosen by Senator Thomas and his disciples to demand of the President immediate currency imitation. When the President first announced his gold purchase plan the Senator was inclined to give that plan a trial before pushing the direct currency imitation panacea. But within few hours he had flopped back to his extremist position. We are not prepared to say that this country will never come to direct currency imitation. Indeed, If other methods fa it seems probable that the Administration with the support of the nation Will Igo to that dangerous expedient last resort. But-currency imitation no currency inflation- lit would be unwise to entrus the fate of this coun- try to dogmatists with panacea type of mind who see the solution of vastly complex economic problems solely in terms of currency. The President is much frmer ground be- cause he the monetary difficulty part of the larger problem-a needed financial reform to be CO., ordinated with industrial and other reforms all of which combined may produce recovery perma- nent basis.
 For the currency inflationist, any else % say that the Presidents monetary policy is in adequate before has been tried is not only unfair but unintelligent. .a ss
 in explaining the policy, he was specific on two pionts. One is his intention to protect the dollar from undue foreign influences and control. The
 other is his intention to raise domestic price levels 1 AS to the first point there seems to be general agreement that the Roosevelt policy has a good chance of success. As to the second point, the initial result has been to raise domestic prices Whether that result is only temporary remains to be seen.
 Obviously, however, the failure of the Roosevelt gold purchase method in raising and maintaining commodity price levels will depend in part upon the skill of the Administration and in
 part upon economic conditions not now practicable 1 Under the circumstances serious economists and responsible financial experts watching the ex- pertinent with open minds. They are not condemn ing it. neither they guaranteeing 100 per cent
 success
 The task is to find way step by step in this
 monetary matter, just we are finding way
 step by step the farm and industrial fronts.
 It is the great virtue of President Roosevelt that
 in his monetary policy, in his other policies, he
 is making progress with open mind He is mov-
 ing. The least the currency imitation extremists do is to give him chance.

on September that the Treasury fixed the price If gold at &29. .62 an ounce.
 Before that date all gold was subject to the government decree that an ounce of gold was worth no more and no less than S2O. .67 regardless of fluctuating commod- ity costs.
 The higher price, in the opin- ion of some experts, caused the release of new gold. Now that the President has embarked on a pol icy which enables the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corporation to buy at an even higher price, the flow may be even greater.
 Already there are indications oi increased production. Reports oi mining revival come in from al of the gold producing sections oi the country.

ren and Pearson find that while "in general this theory has held for the United States, is has not held nearly SO well. From 1884 wholesale prices were lower than the gold supply would suggest; since 1880 prices in the United States were more cratic than those of England, primarily be- cause of financial difficulties. 7" You look closer at the figures sustaining the basic generalization and you discover that "the ratio of gold to production and whole sale prices in England" is based on 'five-year moving averages" which eliminate short time var iationS."
 Now what is one to make of this? Taking the theory of it's own face value, all that Professor Warren really claims for it is that over a long period of time, on the average, there is reasonably close correspondence between the sup ply of gold and the volume of pro- duction. He specifically disclaims an exact correspondence for the United States or a short term im- mediate correspondence anywhere. That being the case there should be no illusion even among those who adopt the Warren theory that with it they can immediately raise price level where they wish it tc be, or that they can closely or firmly control the monthly or even yearly fluctuations of the price level
 It follows that there is nothing in the Warren theory which en- ables any one to do more than make a rough guess at the most convenient price for gold, nothing in it which would warrant pro- longing indefinitely an uncertain ty which might become devastat- ing. Accepting the theory at it's full pretentions, nobody can really say that the present dollar is not depreciated enough. For internal prices have not yet nearly adjusted themselves upward to the immense depreciation which has already ta- ken place.
 What the American people might reasonably ask for, since the prin- ciples of the monetary operation are to be kept secret, is some strong evidence that the Admins tration is as much interested in the government credit as in some arbitrary price for gold. The best evidence it could give would be a demonstration that when circum- stances call for it, it is just as willing to lower the price of gold as to raise it. So for day or two it might reduce the price just tc show that it can reach for the brakes as readily as it can step on the accelerator.

 The rate at which this gold finds its way into Treasury vaults has fluctuated widely month by month this year. Starting off with receipts of 115,189 ounces in Jan- uary, the peak of 187,694 ounces was reached in March.
 April and May receipts drifted back nearer the January figure. In June, however, a low of 64,- 445 ounces was reported. Both the July and the August receipts were below 100000 ounces.
 In September they began to climb again. Receipts of l05,985 ounces were reported, a gain of 19,720 ounces over the August fi- gure.
