PEACE ON EARTH GOOD WILL TO MEN,

Tomorrow the anniversary of the birth of Jesus Christ marks another year spent in daily pursuits ot hvn The world over among all Christian nations Christmas Day is revered and held Holy Many familiar conceptions of Christmas practiced in every home but the one which Nome will conceive may be apty outlined by the Lords Prayer
 "Our Father who art in Heaven; hallowed be thy Inv will be done on earth is in Heaven Give us this day. daily bread and forgive us our trespasses we have forgiven those who respass against us Lead us not into temptation deliver from evll for Thine the Kingdom the Power and the Glory, Forever Amen.
 Now more than ever before, the people of Nome have come to realize the true significance ot Christmas In Sep ember their homes and business houses were completely destroyed by fire Many in strained circumstances and others had place they could get for home The business people Nome equally m dire clrcuStanceS With winter coming they had to think of the stocks which had to be ordered the lumber for buildings and many other things which would furnish Nome with supplies for the W ter Working together and with everyone helping and of ferng assistance the situation taken care o for the winter
 But today and tomorrow there is another thought a thought which was expressed but few hours after the ire Thank God that no burned to death or killed Thank God still have our health and can agan Work to ward the rebuilding of Nome and our homes
 The people of Nome do think more today than they have for many years that God in His Heaven is righteous and knd witness His kndnesS in the hearts any eyes o Nometes today Many have rebuilt their business and homes and smiling and again doing business with their friends and patrons
 The only sad thought day of rich feeling is that in comparison with the saving Peace Earth, Good Will to Men nneenhs of the nations the globe of major importance preparing for Not war o righteous ness but one of aggrandzemen They publicly notify the people of their intentions of abandoning peace treaties naval and treaties for the limitation ot mple ments of war How could their thoughts be anything but o imperialism They argue that their neighbors are arng against them.
 Mo- they not thinking of that saying ot the ord but of what war will bring them in material conqests which result in the bloody terrible holocaus of young mankind
 But regardless of the rest of the world at this particular moment Nome has heart full of oyousness and thankful ness for the Blessings which He has bestowed upon us dur ing the past year, in the name of Jesus Christ

Industry Pays
$1OQ!OOQ!OOO
In Pensions

Private industry, in connection
with life insurance companies,
paid more than $100,000,O0O in
old age pensions in 1888, Arthur
F. Hall, president of the Lincoln
National Life Insurance company,
said in analysing activities Of
other than governmental agencies
in caring for the aged.
Approximately 100000 persons
are receiving retirement pensions
from industrial firms by which
they have previously been en-
ployed, he said. The average
amount received by each is about
$666 per year. Mr.. Hall said:
president Roosevelt has
taken a step in the direction of
social progress by pointing out
the need for old age insurance.
Whether this provision can best
be made by the government or
by private initiative remains to
be seen. twenty-five States have
old age pension lawS-an but
three of them having passed
them in the last five years.
I'm 1882 State Old Age Pen
sion Laws were responsible for
the payment of over $4,000, 900
to approximately 100000 per
sons. This is about One-fourth
the amount paid by employers
who distributed $1OO,OOO,OO0 a
year to 10000 former employees
in retirement allowances"
The efforts Of individuals to
provide for their own old age is
evidenced by the marked increase
in retirement annuity and endow'
ment forms Of insurance in the
last few years, he pointed out.
This type Of insurance represents
more than one-third Of all sold
by agents of the Lincoln National,
he said.

C. N. EXHIBITS
HELP SALES

The improvement in the Ameri-
can automobile market since 1882
is indicated by statistics upon the
National Exhibits, General Motors
Products, held this month in so
cities in the United States. Cen
eral Motors held similar shows
throughout the country in April,
1882.
Attendance during the shows
just closed 27.4 per cent under the
total attendance at the 1882
shows, but passenger car sales at
the 1884 shows increased 34.3 per
cent over the 1882 figure and
truck sales jumped 177.3 per cent
over 1892. Frigidaire sales in
creased 21.44 per cent over 1882.
The automotive sales increases
are regarded as more striking be-
cause the 1892 shows were held
two months earlier in the year,
which comparatively is a much
more favorable selling season
than June.
A total of 11,490 cars and
trucks were sold-10,302 passenger
cars and 1888 trucks.
That the exhibits were buying
shows" is indicated by the fact
that the combined prospects OBJ
tanned for passenger cars and
trucks were 1915 per cent fewer
than two years ago. The pros
poets for trucks were up 81 per
cent compared to the 1892 shows.

TOBACCO THIRD
IN EXPORTS

Leaf tobacco was the third most
valuable export product of the
United States last year, according
to a study just completed by the
Chamber of Commerce Of the
United States.
Foreign sales Of leaf tobacco
amounted in value to $4,000, 900
in 1888, as compared with 1884,
9S3, 200 in 1882. They constituted
5 per cent of the total value of
United States exports last year.
Exports of American cigarettes
even exceeded foreign sales OF
wheat and of corn in value last
year. Exports Of cigarettes were
valued at $4,S95, 900 in 1888 as
compared with a value Of $4,769,-
900 for wheat exports and a total
of $2,653, 900 for corn exports.
One important factor account
ing for the volume of foreign
sales of cigarettes produced in
this country is the worldwide
recognition of their quality, Amer
lean ingenuity being responsible
for many improvements in this
product, such as the use of only
the mild center leaves of choice
tobaccos, the introduction Of the
toasting process, and other mod
ern manufacturing methods.
Total production of cigarettes
in the United States last year ex-
ceeded Ill billions.

steels.
Indications that steel operations
had started their long-expected
seasonal decline weighed down the
steel shares. United States Steel
lost about a point.
Motors Are Mixed
Motors also were affected by
the seasonal factor, with General
Motors under pressure. Hudson
and Chrysler were relatively
steady.
The silver stocks tried to main
tain recent enthusiasm in the
early dealings, but failed to at
tract a. following and turned dull
around previous closing levels.
The rise in silver futures was Of
little influence.
Strength in the packing shares
was most pronounced in the Will
son issues, the A stock rising
more than a point.
Oils Unsettled
Oil shares continued unsettled.
Utilities were quiet and gener-
ally steady, with low-priced issues
showing firmer tendencies. Rails
were depressed by the uncertainty
over whether President Roosevelt
would sign the pension bill passed
by Congress.
Farm shares dragged down
with grains.

WRITER SCORES
SILVER BUYING
PROGRAM
By LEWIS HANEY
professor Of Economics
New York University

The silver policy bill has now
been signed by the President. and
thus becomes law,
The Washington times., 1934-06-25

I am impressed with the futility
and wastefulneSS of this measure.
We do not need more money as a
nation. What we need is better
money, and a better distribution
of incomes. But adding a lot Of
silver to a fund in Washington
will give us neither.
The Government is taking, say
one and sone-haf billions of our
present money and buying large
quantities of metal which nobody
wants Cat least at any price much
over As cents, and which will do
no one any good except possibly
the few who may benefit by in
flation. This is waste of our
money.
Perhaps the thought is that, by
giving it a silver lining, Uncle
Sam can tighten the cloud Of his
debts,
The Washington times., 1934-06-25

monetary value" not real value:
which means a smaller tonnage
of the metal, but an artificially
high "value."
The Treasury is directed to buy
silver, here and abroad. It is to
issue "silver certificates" with a
total face value not less than the
cost of the silver.
It may sell silver, but not when
this would reduce the quantity re-
quired as security for outstand-
ing silver certificates.
The President is authorized to
seize and impound silver, much as
he did our gold. This would be
called Matchmaking" it.
The probable results of this act
are not difficult to foresee. They
are as follows:
1t will dilute our monetary
reserves. The tonnage Of metal
held in the Treasury may be in
creased, but at least rs per cent
of it will be carried at an arti-
fetal generalization. This is
called broadening the monetary
base" but it thinS out that base.
2-It will materially increase
the tendency to a further de-
probation of our currency. The
silver certificates to be issued
will be called dollars, but will
actually be backed by only about
81 cents worth Of silver.
The essence of the scheme is
not to strengthen reserves for our
currency, but to put out over
valued silver certificates to the
tune of a billion or so.
8. The "inelasticity" of our cur
rency will be increased. That is,
our money will be less likely to
expand and contract as business
requires. The provision about
selling silver will probably prevent
the retirement of Certificates, u
and is obviously designed to have
that effect.
An inelaStic currency Is eSpe'
cially likely to bring initiation.
4. Then there are the results
of the prospective "Silver-buying
program" which in a way re-
sembes the now abandoned gold
buying program.
IT means Government spending
(fcr silver, and that probably
means q further increase in the
already swollen excess reserves OF
the banks.
It means a Treasury write up
of silver similar to the gold write
up. The Government has already
bought some domestic silver al
641a cents an ounce, and some
foreign metal at around As cents.
It is to buy much more up to SO
cents. This silver may apparently
be written up to $l.25 on the Gov
ernment'S books.
Then the Government will spend
its profit" on Si1ver-which is in.
tlation.
The Washington times., 1934-06-25

s. In general, the silver pro-
gram promises to add more I'M
certainty to our already uncer-
tainty. The value of our money
is to be placed more than ever
in question. The probability of
eventual currency initiation is
Increased.
