MONETARY CRAFTSMANSHIP. BY
Norman Lombard. S. B., LII. B.
New York: Harper & Bros.
The former executive vice president
of the Stable Money Association says
that money is not inherently a CON-
plicated subject, II We get away from
our superStitionS about It," yet few
people seem TO have very clear ideas
about what constitutes money and es-
pecially what constitutes a stand
ard" and what kind OF standard Is
desirable. Mr.. Lombard believes it Is
possible to manipulate currency and
credit in such a way as to make
purchasing power of the monetary
unit the standard and to stabilize that
standard. His theory is worked out
at length, in much the same way
that it has been worked out by in
Vulnerable other writer's OF late.
Theories are easy TO work out on pa
per, but a few months or years of
practical application are worth more
than the most elaborate exposition,
and his theory has not yet been tested
by the results for good or i'll which
1t might produce. 1t has much in
common with some of the so-called
brain trust" ideas, which have been
partially and tentatively tried, but
with regard to which the administra-
ton has found 1t wise to move eau
tiously.
Mr.. Norman's discussion is lucid
and well arranged and gives much
information about such monetary
questions as price levels in relations
to currency, managed currency and
the people who manage it. He does
not guarantee Il method for keeping
the management out of politics., the
credit factor, Federal Reserve powers,
the gold standard, the possibility Of
controlling imitation, monetary legis-
lation, and banking. In connection
with what he says on the control
OF imitation, Mr.. Norman, though
claiming to do so. seems to pay in
sufficient attention to the examples
of our own and other countries in
the past. A unique device used in
the set-up OF the book Is the print-
ing in marginal columns of extracts
from speeches, articles and books by
prominent economists and men IN
public life. The extracts are as far
as possible placed alongside argu-
ments Of Mr.. Norman to which they
have a certain applicability. A spe-
cial index Is furnished of these au-
thors quoted, in addition to the gen.
eral index and a selected photography.

You are one of such people and so are your

this is the great class of people that should be

The rank and file of America compose the back
