GOLD FOR CH|NA'S
SILVER |SSTUD|ED
Reports Indicate Fear of
Economic Upset in Orient
BaIks U. S. Plan.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Reports have gained currency in
official circles that a trade of some
Of this country's huge gold supplies
for part OF China's silver has been
under tentative consideration for
some time.
Rumors of the exchange continued
to grow despite the reticence of Sec
retary Morgenthau at a press confer
ence yesterday to comment. Earlier,
Morgenthau, President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hull had discussed the
problem Of how this country is to buy
a billion ounces Of silver, more or less,
without disrupting economic condi-
tions in China.
Disclosure that receipts of silver
under the naturalization act of Au-
gust 9 had reached only 90,969 ,584
ounces and probably would not rise
much higher, added to speculation as
to how this Country could continue
to acquire the silver required by law.
Private estimates had placed the
amount expected at above $50, 1000, 900.
The Treasury has veiled much of
its silver purchasing, as of May 81,
it was estimated that in excess of
l,300,000,000 ounces were needed to
give the currency silver backing on
a 1-to-3 ratio with gold. Probably less
than 1,00o,000,00O ounces are needed
now.
The steady drain of silver from
the Orient has been causing great
concern to this Government as well
as China.

lation of half million should be able
to furnish its own officers officers who
will have the interest of the city more
nearly at heart, and who understand
its problems better than imported
officials who consume valuable time
when they first arrive just learning
the ropes" Miss Taggart said.
A speech made by Mrs. John Ecker,
Georgetown director of the Red Cross
roll call, emphasized the good work of
the Red Cross during the depression,
and demonstrated the need of keeping
such an organization fit for any emer-
gency. So as not to conflict with the
Community Chests annual drive in
November, the Red Cross has moved
up its roll call drive to the second half
of october.
The Georgetown Progressives intend
to celebrate Halloween by attending
the Federation of Citizens Association
parade that night in busSes, if pos

TRIAL DUE TODAY
ON WE|RTON SUIT
U. S. Seeks to Enjoin Labor
Policy of Steel
Company.
By the Associated Press.

WILMINGTON, Del. October g.
strain the Weirton Steel Co. from in
terfering in an election of its employees
to determine their representatives for
collective bargaining, is scheduled to
open today.
The suit, based on the national re-
covery act, is a direct attack upon the
Weirton employe representation plan,
which American Federation of Labor
units call company union"
Government counsel contend the
so-called company union at the Weir
ton plants was imposed upon the
employees by coercion and other un-
lawful means for the purpose of cir
cumventing their rights to choose
their own representatives and to bar
gain collectively" The injunction
sought would prevent the company
from continuing such imposition and
circumvention."
The company, a subsidiary of the
National Steel Corp, employs about
400 in Weirton and Clarksburg, W..
Va. and Steubenville, Ohio
The defendant company claims its
representation plan is adequate, that
its course is guided by the workers,
and denies that coercion was involved.
Too, the company raises constitutional
questions. It contends its relation
ship with its employees is not part of
interstate commerce and therefore any
laws which Congress makes affecting
it are unconstitutional.

The social service of the Episcopal

the doctrine of rugged individualism

which shows clearly the trend of mod

ception of society as made up Of au-

each free to seek his own ends, is as
faulty from the viewpoint Of eco
nomic realism as it is from the stand
point of Christian idealism. Our ira
ditional philosophy Of rugged indi-
vidualism must be modified to meet
the needs Of a cooperative age"
The Northern Baptist church, at it's
San Francisco convention, took a de-
cided stand in favor of the co-opera-
tive commonwealth in the following
language: ours is an age that would
stand condemned by all the foremost
teachers and prophets from the be-
ginning of history :. . Jesus of Naz-
| areth would have none of it . the

ticable on worldwide basis"
