the human element prevents 1t from

IF prospects we're such that peo-
Il pie could use money in their
bushes profitablv they would Dor
row. The bankss likewise would be
willing TO lend under such condi-
tons, for then they would have less
fear of being repaid. But not only
is II difficult 10 sell goods produced,
but the steps taken by the admins
tratiOn thus far have tended to re-
duCe the profits on such goods as
are sold. We can hardly have credit
initiation until profits are sufficient
to get people to use money to in
crease their production.
Currency imitation likewise has its
difficulties. We have a better gold
COverage for the dollar today than
We ever had. We can arbitrarily re-
duce the value of the dollar in terms
of gold. as we already have done,
and lift prices to a certain extent
by so doing. But that is not infla-
ton as it is popularity regarded.

10 secure real currency inhation

ITO secure real currency imitation
Il those who have money must
become so disturbed as to exchange
their money for goods. They must
become convinced that the govern
ment can not or will not support the
currency with gold at its current
stated value. When this happens,
and a sufficient number begin to ex-
change their money for goods. prices
will rise from the demand thus Gre
ated.
But with all Of the gold we now
hold. and with silver having been
added as additional security behind
the dollar, it may take the issuance
of a great amount of new currency
before the public becomes convinced
Of the governments inability TO sup
port the dollar.
II is possible. however. that the
government may eventually create
the opinion that it is unwilling to
stand back Of its currency if it con-
tinues to take such steps as deval-
uation and the issuance Of silver
certificates.

Hitler's Recent Acts
Leave Paris Puzzled

PARIS, July 21-French officialdom
has still scarcely recovered from the
curious mixture of surprise, dismay
and relief with which it watched
Chancellor Adolf Hitler destroy both
his Brown Shirt army and the moral
foundations of the National Socialist
movement.
AS for the average Frenchman he is
doubtless pleased that the Nazi men,
ace has lost much Of its punch, but
his logical mind is bewildered by the
spectacle of dictator who smashes
the weapon which made him dictator
and even more bewildered over what
to expect next.
Has Hitler done Frnace favor by
smashing the physical. and moral force
of the Brown Shirt army? Or has
Hitler merely made the Franco-Ger-
man outlook darker and more con-
fused and uncertain than ever. 1t
appears that many thoughtful French
men are now inclined to fear Der
F'uehrer has done both of those things
simultaneously, incredible as that may
seem. In a word, the conviction is
growing in France that through his
June 80 executions Hitler may have
killed himself-at least shaped with
his own hands the beginning of his
eventual downfall. Some Frenchmen
even go so far as to say that Hitler
is finished.
Then comes the question: After Hit
Ter, what? And there is no solace for
the French observer in contemplating
that problem.

South Africa Puts End
To Party Government

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
The Union Of South Africa is the lat
est country to have found ordinary
party government unsuited to the
needs Of the present day. Parliament
has not been abolished. but the latest
political developments have the effect
of centering the government of the
country in the control Of handful Of
men.
From the very beginning of South
African politics there have been two
main parties, the Nstionalists and the
South Africa party. and now these are
being merged into one great party un-
der the lead of Prime Minister Gen
ersl Hertzog.
1t is true that there will be some
opposition in the next Parliament in
the shape of the Labor party. but as
that totals only three in a house Of
$50 members its voice will be a small
one.
In short. South Africa has achieved
a dictatorship without dispensing with
Parliament and other trappings of de-
mocracy and without any necessity
for censorships and revolutionary
regulations.

That's damned ungenerous," said
Sheridan. as. unmoved, he rushed on
to battle. His horse was killed. He
jumped from the dying steed and
led the rest of the charge himself on
foot. He was the first man on the
top of the mountain and he jumped
up on one of the guns his soldiers had
captured and shouted for Joy.
Certain people who have tried to
bulldoze Sheridan in the past have
Jared badly. A case in point is that
Of big-headed railroad conductor in
1868. Sheridan was at Bridgeport,
Ala, and Gen. Thomas was at Deck
erd. Tenn. Sheridan visited Thomas
and Thomas came back with him to
see his works. The two generals went
into the train together. AT one Of
the stations the train was delayed a
long time. Sheridan went to the
conductor and asked h-ln why they
did not get on. The conductor, a big
fellow 6 feet tall, gave a gruf answer
to the short, stocky officer. Sheridan
advised him to be more polite, or

His men, furthermore, serve with
out pay. They receive only an al
lowance for the purchase and upkeep
of uniforms. The colonel feels that
there is a strong distinction between
soldiers who fighter at least wear
a uniform-for the love of it, and
those who enlist for pay. The colonel
is too proud man to sneer at the
Swiss Guards openly, but it is ap-
parent that he has them in mind
when he speaks of "mercenaries"
Col. Vuillemenot takes great pains
to explain that the designation "of
honor" in the guards title is a sort
of decoration conferred on the whole
corps in 1859 by Pope Plus TX, and
that it by no means signifies that
the regiment is not a real. 100 per
cent fighting force, which would be
the first in the breach to repel any
foreign invasion.
At present, however, the mundane
fact of the matter is that the guards
duties are only ceremonial. The men
serve a few hours a week. They all
live in Rome and engage in other,
peaceful pursuits as well.

dered him to send the train forward.
The conductor did nothing. The
train did not move. Sheridan sent
for the conductor again and asked
why his command had not been
obeyed. The fellow replied in an in
sulting manner that his orders came
only from the military superintend-
ent of the road Sheridan did not
give him time to finish his reply.
He got up, struck him two or three
times with his fist and then kicked
him of the cars. He then ordered
the train forward and acted as con-
ductor himself during the trip. After
the train started he took his seat be-
side Gen. Thomas once more and
resumed his conversation as quietly
as though nothing had happened.
The Washington Monument is to-
day 400 feet high, and 1t will reach

Casey. the chief engineer, tells me

and that the work is being done as
