principle, of course, this enormous
power over the fortunes Of the
whole nation must necessarily be
vested in the government.
But the real question is: Who is
to exercise the power Of the gov
ernment?" Clearly it is impossible
for congress to exercise it; were con-
gress to assume to decide what to
do about the dollar from month to
month or even year to year, the re-
suit would be bedlam. Is this
power that the President can exer-
else permanently? I should think
not.
For history and common sense
alike tell us that this is too much
arbitrary power to place perma-
mently in man who is the leader
of party and necessarily concerned
about elections. On the other hand,
it is not power which can be in
trusted to private bankers, certainly
not in a modern democracy.
The problem is not easy to solve.
But we can get some light on it, I
THINK, II we reallze that IN normal
times whoever manages the cur
rency must, as wise banker has
put it, be doing always the unpopu-
lar thing. When a boom starts he
must take steps to debate. When
depression starts he must take steps
to initiate.
When the " is becoming too
optimistic, iSt be killjoy
When the - is pessimistic, he
must be bold and confident. This
is the essence of central banking
and currency management. Now our
own experience has shown that we
have not yet found that College of
Vestal Virgins fit to carry on cur
rency management.

Charges have been made that in recent years the
monetary policy of the country has been dictated by
private bankers rather than by the government And
it is further argued that this policy has not always
been for the best interests of the government and OF
the people point is made that the reserve board
and the treasury department in Washington have
looked TO the New York Federal Reserve bank for
guidance and that the New York institution has been
dominated by the private bankers in that city.

STOMACH TROUBLE"
By DIR. w. D. Brown


II have a pain in my stomach ,
is commonly heard. This usually
means any place from lower part
of chest to the hips. Actually, how
ever, the stomach is a definite
pouch in the digestive tract which
begins at the mouth and ends at
the anus. This tract is one con-
tinucus tube which, for descrip
tive purposes, is divided into parts
as the esophagus, stomach, duo
dcnum, jejunum, ileum, appendix,
cecrm, colon, rectum and anus
Therefore, what should be said is
Il have a pain in my abdomen" for
it is within the abdomen or belly
that most of these parts of the
digestive tube or tract lie. Just
where the pain or trouble arise
is often very hard to determine
as there are so many possibilities
since each part of the tract is SUBJ
iect to varying diseases. The I'LL
fortunate thing, however, is that
often both serious and innocuous
ailments give the same symptoms
at first and much time may be
lost before the real difficulty be
comes apparent.
Appendicitis, which demands i'm,
mediate surgery in so per cent Of
the cases, often starts as indiges
ton with nausea and vomiting and
later localizes itself in the right
lower abdomen. Acute disease Of
the pancreas, one of the glands
of digestion, may also have a SIM
liar picture at the onset. Cancer
of stomach, ulcer of duodenuIn
gall bladder disease, and many
other ailments may be the origin
of that pain in the stomach
Therefore, the indiscriminate use
of stomach cures" for such pair
is ridiculous and occasionally re,
sponsible for a fatality. Tablets
powders, cathartics and digestant:
should be used under medical in
struction only if safety is to be
observed.
