New York Disappointing"

And New York was so slow get
ting down to business that its con-
tribution to the December figures was
far from what it should have been.
In Massachusetts,, also a big con-
suming State, according to normal
estimates, another legal restriction
hampered the setting up of distribut-
ing agencies. This was the require
ment that separate Massachusetts,
corporation should handle the busi-
ness. incidentally, 1t vas further re-
quired that at least one citizen OF
the State should be one of the incor-
porators and officers of the company
for a period of at least two years.
The point is not whether the moves
made by these States were salutary
or commendable. It Is merely that
these big consuming States. compris-
ing considerably more than half the
potential liquor market Of the coun-
try, if New York Is included, did not
get into the picture in time to figure
in available tax figures.
So it is not surprising that the
financial results to the Treasury are
disappointing.

Economic Conditions Show
Great Improvement Over
1893.
BY RICHARD L. GRIDLEY
United Press Financial CorreSnondent

WASHINGTON, April 10. - The
first anniversary today of the off,
cial abandonment of the gold
standard by the United States found
increasing signs of recovery in the
wake of President Roosevelt's revo-
lutionary monetary action.
Whether or not attributable to the
administrations monetary program.
1t was evident today that economic
depression has lightened in the past
twelve months.
Business activity is increasing.
employment is gaining, and bank
deposits are growing in sharp con-
trast to the situation a year ago.
The extent to which forced de-
probation of the dollar has con-
tributed to these economic gains is
debated by economists. That it was
an important factor is not disputed,
however.
1t was a year ago today that
President Roosevelt announced at a
press conference that the govern
ment would allow the American dol
lar, pegged at 25.8 grains of gold
for thirty-three years, to find it's
own level. A few hours later. the
then secretary of treasury William
H. Woodin said this took the United
States officially off the gold stand
ard for its money.
Actually the old style gold stand
ard was abandoned the instant
President Roosevelt on March 5.
1888, declared a bank holiday and
forbade export of gold.
Stock and commodity markets
and retail prices began to reflect
almost at once the forced deprecia-
ton of the dollar. This constituted
an imitation bulge" which the ad-
ministration hoped would relieve in
part debts contracted during per-
iods of higher price levels.
To promote a cheaper dollar an
ambitious gold buying program was
evolved last fan. The price of gold
was gradually marked up to $3406
per ounce.
When this plan failed to promote
rising prices. congress passed legiS-
lation providing for a formal cut in
the gold content of the dollar.
On Jan. 81, President Roosevelt
formally reduced the gold content
of the dollar to IS 5-21 grains of
gold and established an unlimited
world bid of $35 per ounce for gold.
