Back to Gold.
Cincinnati Enquirer)

The nation is once more on a gold standard, with the added confidence which that fact lends to business enterprise. To be sure, the gold bullion standard is very different from the system which ruled up to March 1883, and the continuing possi lbility of further change in the gold value of the dollar by Presidential proclamation detracts from the certainty of the monetary regime. But for the most part the new arrangement may be re- garded as paving the way for complete stabization. It provides a solid and understandable basis for financial transactions, and such be expected to aid in restoring normal economic activity.
 Probably the most striking innovation of the Inew gold standard is the fact that the citizen cannot convert his currency into gold. The yellow metal will not be coined and will not circulate. Gold resumes it's more important Junction. however, as the means of settling international trade ball. ances and also continues to the backing for circulating currency.
 While there doubtless will be who question the soundness of a gold standard which does not provide for ready redemption of currency in gold, this feature has never been important in reality, and has merely weakened the social usefulness Iof the international gold standard. Once read just thinking to bullion standard the inability to convert currency into gold will not be either Ia hardship basis for lack of confidence
 The future of the credit system, under control of the Treasury rather than the Federal Reserve, remains something of mystery. The success of devauation means of restoring price levels is not yet determined The benefits of credit nfla-
 on through spending of the gold profit thus far unpredictable. But despite these questions which are yet to be answered by the course of events, we may conclude that important step has been taken to reestablish stable currency consonant with the conditions of national and interna- tional economic life We may conclude also that la type of gold standard has been set up which, in it's main features, is more efficient and more flexible than was the rigid gold standard which theoretically existed until March 1883 and which Iactualy broke down in wartime and never revived.

CURRENCY DEPRECIATION AND
 BONDS.

The oft and widely expressed opinion that sus- pension of gold specie payment and the devalua- ton of currency impairs Government credit has been shown to be completely unfounded by study just completed by Brookmre, Inc, of New York administrative economists and investment counsel ors This study as published, has taken in the results of such action in six typical major countries of the world-England, Sweden Japan, Australia Argentina and the United States It covers period from 193O to 1883, inclusive
 In each instance, the internal price trend of gold and of Government bond prices have been charted in parallel for the past four years and the is most significant in that without exception, it has been indicated that respective government credits, gauged by the market for their bonds. not adversely affected.
 The study further reveals that notwithstanding tremendously adverse economic conditions prices of government bonds in four of the five foreign coun- tries have shown upward trend since the gold standard abandoned, and in the fifth prices have recently risen nearly to par.

Consider Hoover ideas and Roosevelt ideas, in their similarities and their differ ences. Hoover had a passion for common people and he believed that business was the principal instrumentality for producing good for the common people. Roosevelt has the same passion for common people, but he looks at them directly instead of through the maze of business.
 And, since business isn't actually provd- ing all the jobs which people need, and since it can't be proved conclusively that business would do so in a sufficiently big hurry to satisfy the popular clamor, Roose- welt goes over the head of business, and makes Government do the job.
 There's no fundamental difference be- tween the Hoover aims and the Roosevelt aims, but their methods are different And the method of Roosevelt is to consider the cause of business as secondary to the cause of widespread public well-being Under this new emphasis business becomes a servant, somewhat like a public utility.
 The point for the practical business man is that under this new Government, no business has any holy rights for it's own sake, but is to be cultivated for the sake of the service it can give to it's customers, and it's employees, and incidentally to its owners.

They retraced their steps until they came to the spot where they had camped the night before. The sun had swung up into the sky. Their little valley was becoming as humid as a hot house. Wraithes of vapor, sucked upward from the damp ground, logged the rank vegetation. Frank glanced anxiously at the girl by his side.
 Feel like resting, Janice?"
 She shook her head. "rm not tired. Just little hungry"
 They picked their way southward. Finally they reached the lower end of the stream. As it had at the other end of the little valley here again the current swirled into the maw of cavern under the face of that queerly concave cliff. Frank said thoughtfully.
 And no way to get out of here in this direction" He glanced back. ward up the stream. The current flowed around a small promontory two hundred yards distant. The trunk of a palm lay across the stream at that point.
 Frank pointed to 1t. We've just about been around the valley-ex- cept for that lower side there that's hidden by the little hill. Let's cross at that fallen palm and take look. If we're blocked there ..."
 Janice met his glance fearlessly. "If we're blocked there," she promp- ted, then what?"
 Frank shrugged. "Oh, we'll get out" he replied with a heartiness he did not feel.
 They made their way to the palm log. Frank straddled the natural bridge and hitched himself across. The log gave somewhat under his weight. He reached the farther bank. He called to Janice to follow.
 But the girl was standing and star ing intently at the trunk of the fallen palm.

 You can examine watch all you please Abut you don't much until you look at the handspring You can analyze the in's and outs of this Administration, and of it's various sets of officials and their varying philosophies, but you don't know anything until you know the President.

Although the original deadline
for submission of manuscripts to

the position. in the face of the sta

for any speaker or candidate, at
this point in the campaign, to have
his address ready.
The Republican county commit
